Patent number: 8895898Abstract: A positive temperature coefficient (PTC) rod assembly is provided for a PTC heater. PTC elements and an electrode terminal to which an insulator is attached may be retained in a channel-shaped rod cover having an open side so as to be exposed to the outside, and a heat-radiating fin is in direct contact with one surface of the rod cover so as to conduct heat, and another heat-radiating fin may be in direct contact with one surface of the insulator attached to an outer surface of the electrode terminal so as to conduct heat, so that the PTC rod assembly minimizes empty space in an inner space of the rod cover, increases heat transfer efficiency, and is easily manufactured due to a simple structure and reduction in the number of parts.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation, Modine Korea, LLC.Inventors: Jae Chan Lim, Man Ju Oh, Duck Chae Jun, Tae Soo Sung

Patent number: 8020607Abstract: The present invention provides a pipe for a heat exchanger. The header includes a tube insertion hole for insertion of a tube, a filler metal groove formed in a length direction on one side or both sides at a point separated from the tube insertion hole, and a filler metal that flows down following the tube and the periphery where the tube and tube insertion hole come in contact. Filler metal is inserted in the filler metal groove so as to enable brazing fusion. A lead groove is formed between the tube insertion hole and filler metal groove and provides a pathway so as to enable smooth flow of the filler metal, and so that molten filler metal can flow smoothly into the fused areas between the tube and header pipe in desired locations and amounts.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Modine Korea, LLCInventors: Ki-Hun Kim, Yong-Ki Baek, Hyeong-Ki Kim
