Pipe clamp assembly and heat exchanger having same

A pipe clamp assembly comprising:

• a first pipe clamp member, the first pipe clamp member comprising a first mounting surface located on a first side of the first pipe clamp member and a second mounting surface located on a second side, the second mounting surface facing in an opposite direction from the first mounting surface, of the first pipe clamp member;
• and
• a second pipe clamp member, the second pipe clamp member comprising a mounting surface facing the first pipe clamp member, and the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member being used for clamping a pipe between the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member, wherein:
• the first pipe clamp member is a hollow component formed from a plate.

A heat exchanger, comprising:

• a first heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger comprising a first manifold;
• a second heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger comprising a second manifold, and an inlet/outlet pipe connected to the second manifold;
• a first pipe clamp member, the first pipe clamp member comprising a first mounting surface located on a first side of the first pipe clamp member and a second mounting surface located on a second side, the second mounting surface facing in an opposite direction from the first mounting surface, of the first pipe clamp member;
• and
• a second pipe clamp member, the second pipe clamp member comprising a mounting surface facing the first pipe clamp member, and the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member being used for clamping a pipe between the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member,
• wherein the first mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member of the pipe clamp assembly is mounted on and contacts the first manifold of the first heat exchanger, and the inlet/outlet pipe of the second heat exchanger is clamped between the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member.

A heat exchanger, comprising:

• a first heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger comprising a first manifold;
• a second heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger comprising a second manifold, and an inlet/outlet pipe connected to the second manifold;
• a first pipe clamp member, the first pipe clamp member comprising a first mounting surface located on a first side of the first pipe clamp member and a second mounting surface located on a second side, the second mounting surface facing in an opposite direction from the first mounting surface, of the first pipe clamp member;
• and
• a second pipe clamp member, the second pipe clamp member comprising a mounting surface facing the first pipe clamp member, and the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member being used for clamping a pipe between the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member,
• wherein the first mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member of the pipe clamp assembly is mounted on the first manifold of the first heat exchanger, and the inlet/outlet pipe of the second heat exchanger is clamped between the mounting surface of the second pipe clamp member and the second mounting surface of the first pipe clamp member, and
• wherein the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are arranged side by side in an extension direction of the first manifold and/or the second manifold, and the inlet/outlet pipe extends to a side of the first heat exchanger that is remote from the second heat exchanger.
