Abstract
Provided is a heat exchanger having an optimal design satisfying appropriate pressure resistance and manufacturing characteristics, as well as maximizing heat transfer performance in an internal wall thickness, an outer wall thickness, and the number of holes of an extruded tube. Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to providing a heat exchanger having an optimal design formed based on a more systematic rule so as to be easily applied to tubes of various sizes.
Claims13
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a pair of header tanks formed in parallel and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance;
- a plurality of tubes fixed to the pair of header tanks at both ends to form a flow channel of a refrigerant;
- and
- a fin interposed between the tubes,
- wherein the plurality of tubes are extruded tubes, and when each tube is formed such that a tube width is greater than a tube height and a flow channel in the tube is divided into a plurality of holes formed in parallel of the tube in a width direction by a plurality of inner walls extending in a height direction of the tube, the tube width, an outer wall thickness at an end portion of the tube in the width direction, a hole width, and an inner wall thickness have a size within a range in which the following formula is satisfied:
- 2.5<A/B<4 Formula 1:
- (Here, Tw:
- tube width, Tn:
- outer wall thickness at end portion of tube in width direction, A:
- hole width, B:
- inner wall thickness).
