Heat exchanger assembly for a motor vehicle

A heat exchanger assembly for a motor vehicle, the heat exchanger assembly comprising:

• an inlet tank;
• an outlet tank;
• a plurality of exchanger tubes of an exchanger core fluidly connecting the inlet tank and the outlet tank and extending along a transverse axis, each exchanger tube of the plurality of exchanger tubes defines a fluid passage path for fluid, a first pair of adjacent exchanger tubes form a first air passage path therebetween for ambient air and a second pair of adjacent exchanger tubes form a second air passage path therebetween for the ambient air;
• first air-turbulence elements extending vertically and located between the first pair of adjacent exchanger tubes in the first air passage path;
• and
• second air-turbulence elements extending vertically and located between the second pair of adjacent exchanger tubes in the second air passage path,
• wherein spacing between the second air-turbulence elements is greater than spacing between the first air-turbulence elements such that the first air-turbulence elements deflect a portion of the ambient air flowing therethrough toward the second air passage path.

A heat exchanger assembly for a motor vehicle, the heat exchanger assembly comprising:

• an inlet tank;
• an outlet tank;
• a plurality of exchanger tubes of an exchanger core fluidly connecting the inlet tank and the outlet tank and extending along a transverse axis that extends perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle, each exchanger tube of the plurality of exchanger tubes defines a fluid passage path for fluid, a first pair of adjacent exchanger tubes form a first air passage path therebetween for ambient air and a second pair of adjacent exchanger tubes form a second air passage path therebetween for the ambient air;
• first air-turbulence elements extending vertically and located between the first pair of adjacent exchanger tubes in the first air passage path;
• and
• second air-turbulence elements extending vertically and located between the second pair of adjacent exchanger tubes in the second air passage path,
• wherein spacing between the second air-turbulence elements is greater than spacing between the first air-turbulence elements such that the first air-turbulence elements deflect a portion of the ambient air flowing therethrough toward the second air passage path,
• wherein the first pair of adjacent exchanger tubes extends along the longitudinal axis a greater distance than the second pair of adjacent exchanger tubes, and
• wherein at least one exchanger tube of the plurality of exchanger tubes has first fluid-turbulence elements and second fluid-turbulence elements disposed therein, and wherein spacing between the first fluid-turbulence elements is different than spacing between the second fluid-turbulence elements.
