Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger (20) plate (1, 2a) intended to delimit at least one channel (30, 30a, 30b) for circulation of a fluid, the circulation plate (1) being provided with a bottom (3) and a raised rim (5, 5a-5h) that surrounds the bottom (3), the circulation plate (1) comprising at least one opening (7, 7a-7d) through which a fluid can enter the channel (30, 30a, 30b), characterized in that the opening (7, 7a-7d) is delimited by at least one at least partially rectilinear edge (9a). Application to the field of heat exchanges.
Claims14
A heat exchanger plate configured to delimit at least one channel for circulation of a fluid, the heat exchanger plate comprising:
- a bottom and a raised rim that surrounds the bottom;
- and
- at least one opening through which the fluid enters the at least one channel,
- wherein the at least one opening is delimited by an at least partially rectilinear edge,
- wherein the at least partially rectilinear edge forms a first edge that extends in a direction that forms an angle of between 30 and 60 degrees with respect to a longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger plate,
- and wherein the bottom comprises a rib arranged such that the channel has a U-shaped profile.
A heat exchanger comprising:
- at least one plate that is a closure plate of the heat exchanger or a circulation plate of the heat exchanger, the plate comprising:
- a bottom and a raised rim that surrounds the bottom, and
- at least one opening through which a fluid enters the at least one channel,
- wherein the at least one opening is delimited by at least one partially rectilinear edge,
- wherein the at least partially rectilinear edge forms a first edge that extends in a direction that forms an angle of between 30 and 60 degrees with respect to a longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger plate, and
- wherein the bottom comprises a rib arranged such that the channel has a U-shaped profile.
