Abstract
A heat exchanger, particularly an evaporator, has a number of ducts (19) for the flow of a cooling fluid which are connected in series, each duct (19) being produced as a pair of plates (13) including a concave region (3) limited by an edge (5) and provided with a number of studs forming dimples (9), the dimples being randomly distributed. The invention applies mainly to the air conditioning of motor vehicles.
Claims10
A heat exchanger including a number of ducts for the flow of a cooling fluid, which are connected in series, each duct being produced as a pair of plates comprising a concave region delimited by an edge and provided with a number of bosses forming dimples wherein a random distribution of the dimples is used and includes dimples each having a shape chosen randomly from a set of different shapes of dimple.
A heat exchanger including a number of ducts for the flow of a cooling fluid, which are connected in series, each duct being produced as a pair of plates comprising a concave region delimited by an edge and provided with a number of bosses forming dimples wherein a random distribution of the dimples is used and includes dimples each having a shape chosen randomly from a set of different shapes of dimple, and wherein the surface area defined by the sum of the surface areas of each cross- section of the dimples is less than 20% of the total surface area of the ducts.
Air conditioning and/or heating system for a motor vehicle, which includes a sealed circuit for circulating a cooling fluid comprising a heat exchanger including a number of ducts for the flow of a cooling fluid, which are connected in series, each duct being produced as a pair of plates comprising a concave region delimited by an edge and provided with a number of bosses forming dimples wherein a random distribution of the dimples is used and includes dimples each having a shape chosen randomly from a set of different shapes of dimple.
Motor vehicle which includes an air conditioning system which includes a sealed circuit for circulating a cooling fluid comprising a heat exchanger including a number of ducts for the flow of a cooling fluid, which are connected in series, each duct being produced as a pair of plates comprising a concave region delimited by an edge and provided with a number of bosses forming dimples wherein a random distribution of the dimples is used and includes dimples each having a shape chosen randomly from a set of different shapes of dimple.
