  • Publication number: 20210071970
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy heat exchanger for an exhaust gas recirculation system, obtained by brazing: a tube material comprising at least a core material made of aluminum alloy comprising 0.10 to 1.50% of Si, 0.05 to 3.00% of Cu, and 0.40 to 2.00% of Mn, and a sacrificial anticorrosion material made of aluminum alloy comprising 2.00 to 6.00% of Zn, with a Si content of less than 0.10%, clad on the inner side surface of the core material; and a fin material comprising a core material made of aluminum alloy comprising 0.10 to 1.50% of Si, and 0.40 to 2.00% of Mn, with a Zn content of less than 0.05%, and a brazing material clad on both surfaces of the core material, made of aluminum alloy comprising 3.00 to 13.00% of Si, with a Zn content of less than 0.05%.

  • Publication number: 20210033359
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy heat exchanger for an exhaust gas recirculation system, which is a heat exchanger installed in an exhaust gas recirculation system of an internal combustion engine to cool the exhaust gas comprises a tube provided with a sacrificial anticorrosion material on a side along which the exhaust gas passes, and a fin brazed to the surface side of the sacrificial anticorrosion material of the tube, the fin having a pitting potential higher than the pitting potential of the surface of the sacrificial anticorrosion material of the tube. According to the disclosure, an aluminum alloy heat exchanger for an exhaust gas recirculation system having a long service life with effective function of the sacrificial anticorrosion even under an acidic environment in which an oxide film is weakened as a whole and pitting corrosion is unlikely to occur can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20130269663
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas heat exchange device includes an inflow portion, a first outflow portion, a second outflow portion and a flow-rate adjustment portion. The inflow portion is provided on one end side of a casing that a cooling medium flows into a cooling medium passage. The first outflow portion is provided on the other end side of the casing so that the cooling medium flows out of the cooling medium passage. Moreover, the second outflow portion is provided on the one side of the cooling medium passage and at a position opposed to the inflow portion. The flow-rate adjustment portion is provided so as to generally allow the cooling medium to flow out through the first outflow portion and of the second outflow portion, and to adjust a ratio of flow rates of the cooling medium flowing out through the first outflow portion and the second outflow portion.
