Abstract
Provided are a heat exchanger for cooling an electric element and a heat exchanger assembly for cooling an electric element, and more particularly, a heat exchanger for cooling an electric element and a heat exchanger assembly for cooling an electric element capable of facilitating an insertion of the electric element and improving cooling performance by contacting both side surfaces of the electric element and a tube in which cooling water flows to each other.
Claims18
A heat exchanger for cooling an electric element, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a first tube having a heat exchange medium flowing therein, the first tube including a first end, a second end, and a first predetermined bent point to cause the first tube to contact opposing surfaces of the electric element;
- a first header tank coupled to the first end of the first tube and configured to introduce the heat exchange medium to the first tube;
- a second header tank coupled to the second end of the first tube, wherein the electric element is compressed and fixed between the first end and the second end of the first tube when the first tube is bent about the first predetermined bent point to bring the first header tank into direct contact with the second header tank:
- and an inlet pipe coupled to the first header tank and configured to introduce the heat exchange medium to the first header tank.
A heat exchanger for cooling an electric element, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a first tube having a heat exchange medium flowing therein, the first tube including a first end, a second end, and a first predetermined bent point to cause the first tube to contact opposing surfaces of the electric element;
- a first header tank coupled to the first end of the first tube and configured to introduce the heat exchange medium to the first tube;
- a second header tank coupled to the second end of the first tube;
- an inlet pipe coupled to the first header tank and configured to introduce the heat exchange medium to the first header tank;
- a second tube having a first end coupled to the second header tank and a first predetermined bent point, wherein each of the first tube and the second tube has a second predetermined bent point to cause each of the first tube and the second tube to have a zigzag shape;
- and
- a third header tank having an outlet pipe coupled thereto, wherein the second end of the second tube is coupled to the third header tank.
A heat exchanger for cooling an electric element, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a first tube having a heat exchange medium flowing therein, the first tube including a first end, a second end, and a first predetermined bent point to cause the first tube to contact opposing surfaces of the electric element;
- a first header tank coupled to the first end of the first tube and configured to introduce the heat exchange medium to the first tube;
- a second header tank coupled to the second end of the first tube;
- and
- an inlet pipe coupled to the first header tank and configured to introduce the heat exchange medium to the first header tank, wherein the electrical element extends longitudinally from a first end to a second end thereof, and wherein a clip coupling part is formed by deforming a first portion of the first tube toward the first end of the electrical element and by deforming a second portion of the first tube toward the second end of the electrical element.
