  • Brazing method with application of brazing flux on one side of a section of a flat tube for a heat exchanger
    Patent number: 8450632
    Abstract: A process for brazing flat tubes (10) deposits a layer (40) of brazing flux on one side of an edge (11) of the flat tubes (10). The flat tubes (10) are part of a heat exchanger which has particular application to heat exchange systems in automobiles.

  • Method For Brazing A Heat Exchanger Folded Tube While Applying A Flux Near A Contact Zone Of The Walls, Resulting Tube
    Publication number: 20090126921
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for brazing a heat exchanger folded tube (10), including the following operations: contacting a first tube part (20) against a support surface of a second tube part (22) at a contact zone, and brazing the first and second tube parts at said contact zone, using an input of brazing and a brazing flux (32), to form a brazed link. Such a brazing method is particularly suitable for making heat exchanger tubes having a generally B-shaped cross-section and delimiting two parallel channels (30) of fluid flow. However, said brazing method can also be used for making other types of tube from one or several metal bands.
