  • Patent number: 10113812
    Abstract: In a heat exchanger, when louvers are viewed from an airflow direction, a louver tip end width becomes shorter with increase of a louver height. A fin width of the fin is 14 mm or shorter. Airflow-end louver lengths of an upstream-end first louver, a downstream-end first louver, an upstream-end second louver, and a downstream-end second louver are “?×LP” or longer, where LP is a louver pitch.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2018
    Assignee: DENSO CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 8925625
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a flat tube (10) having a curved portion (13). A part of the curved portion (13) is formed by overlapping an outer rim (22) on an inner rim (21). The inner rim (21) has a small curvature region (102). The small curvature region (102) is inclined to a flat plate portion (11), and is defined by a radius larger than a difference between a half of a thickness of the flat tube (10) and a thickness of the outer rim (22). The small curvature region (102) is not beyond a center line (C1) in a thickness of the flat tube (10). The outer rim (22) extends beyond the center line (C1). The outer rim (22) has an end face (22a) placed on the small curvature region (102). The flat tube (10) has flared portions (15, 16) expanded at insertion holes (54).

  • Publication number: 20130220585
    Abstract: A cylindrical member of a tube for a heat exchanger is made of a pair of flat plate portions, and a pair of curved portions for connecting the pair of flat plate portions to each other. One of the pair of curved portions constructs a bonded portion in which an outer wall portion and an inner wall portion are bonded to each by brazing in a state where the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion overlap each other. The inner wall portion has a portion opposite to the outer wall portion put into close contact with the outer wall portion and is bonded to the one flat plate portion in a state where a tip end portion of the inner wall portion opposite to the one flat plate portion is separated from the one flat plate portion.
