Abstract
Provided are a heat exchanger apparatus and a heat source unit that are for use in a chiller unit. The heat exchanger apparatus comprises at least one heat exchanger module (100). The heat exchanger module (100) comprises two heat exchanger units (10 and 20) that are oppositely fitted with each other. At least one between the two heat exchanger units (10 and 20) is bent so that an angle between adjacent two edges (c and d) on at least one extremity of the two heat exchanger units (10 and 20) is less than an angle between main parts (12 and 22) of the two heat ex-changer units (10 and 20), thus increasing the area for heat exchange.
Claims23
A heat exchange apparatus for a water chiller unit, the heat exchange apparatus comprising at least one heat exchanger module, wherein:
- the heat exchanger module comprises two heat exchange units fitted together facing each other with a first plane therebetween, at least one of the two heat exchange units being bent such that an included angle between two edges of the two heat exchange units, which edges are adjacent at least at one end, is smaller than an included angle between main body parts of the two heat exchange units;
- wherein the two heat exchange units have a bottom portion at a second plane and a top portion at a third plane, the second plane and the third plane being perpendicular to the first plane;
- wherein the two heat exchange units define a first area at the second plane and a second area at the third plane, the first area being smaller than the second area;
- wherein the included angle between the two edges of the two heat exchange units and the included angle between the main body parts of the two heat exchange units span in a direction perpendicular to the first plane and extend between the second plane and the third plane.
A heat exchange apparatus for a water chiller unit, the heat exchange apparatus comprising at least one heat exchanger module, wherein:
- the heat exchanger module comprises a heat exchange unit and a supporting member fitted together facing each other, the heat exchange unit being bent such that an included angle between two edges of the heat exchange unit and supporting member, which edges are adjacent at least at one end with a first plane therebetween, is smaller than an included angle between the heat exchange unit and supporting member;
- wherein the heat exchange unit has a bottom portion at a second plane and a top portion at a third plane, the second plane and the third plane being perpendicular to the first plane;
- wherein the heat exchange unit defines a first area at the second plane and a second area at the third plane, the first area being smaller than the second area;
- wherein the included angle between the two edges of the heat exchange unit and the included angle between the heat exchange unit and the supporting member span in a direction perpendicular to the first plane and extend between the second plane and the third plane.
