Patents Assigned to Nihon Radiator Co., Ltd.
  • Patent number: 4274482
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a heat exchanger-type laminated evaporator, in which a plurality of liquid passage pipe units are arranged in side-by-side relation to form flat liquid passage pipes which communicate at their ends, with enlarged portions forming reservoirs, each of which communicates through a perforation in the wall thereof with an adjacent liquid reservoir, thereby forming an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold and intermediate manifolds. Adjacent manifolds are separated from each other by a common imperforate wall and the imperforate walls at one end are staggered relative to those at the other end, so that refrigerant introduced into the inlet manifold flows through a set of the flat liquid passage in one direction and then through an adjacent set of flat liquid passage pipes in the other direction, and so on, until the outlet manifold is reached.

  • Patent number: 4207662
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an aluminum heat exchanger comprising the steps of: forming inclined surfaces on a support plate including an aluminum core clad with a brazing material layer at least on its top surface, said inclined surfaces sloping downwardly toward an aperture in the support surface; inserting a water pipe having an outer wall made of aluminum into said aperture with said core held in contact with said water pipe; assembling said support plate and said water pipe so that, when heated, said brazing material layer is melted, and flows down toward and collects around said aperture wherein said water pipe contacts said support plate; and heating said support plate and said water pipe to melt the brazing material layer, whereby the parts to be joined can be brazed together.
