  • Patent number: 10132549
    Abstract: A cold storage heat exchanger includes multiple refrigerant tubes arranged to provide a clearance therebetween, multiple cold storage containers each of which is interposed between adjacent refrigerant tubes, bonded to the adjacent refrigerant tubes and defining a compartment receiving a cold storage material. A surface of each cold storage container has multiple protrusion portions, and each protrusion portion protrudes outward and is in contact with the adjacent refrigerant tubes. The multiple protrusion portions are arranged in a zigzag manner or extend continuously in an air flow direction.

  • Patent number: 10094629
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy clad material includes a core material, an inner cladding material, and a sacrificial anode material, one side of the core material being clad with the inner cladding material, the other side of the core material being clad with the sacrificial anode material, the core material being formed of an Al—Mn alloy that includes 0.6 to 2.0 mass % of Mn and 0.4 mass % or less of Cu, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities, the inner cladding material being formed of an Al—Mn—Cu alloy that includes 0.6 to 2.0 mass % of Mn and 0.2 to 1.5 mass % of Cu, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities, and the sacrificial anode material being formed of an Al—Zn alloy that includes 0.5 to 10.0 mass % of Zn, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities.

  • Publication number: 20160290743
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy clad material produces a heat exchanger tube that exhibits excellent outer-side corrosion resistance when formed into a tube. The aluminum alloy clad material includes a core material, an inner cladding material, and a sacrificial anode material, one side of the core material being clad with the inner cladding material, the other side of the core material being clad with the sacrificial anode material, the core material being formed of an Al—Mn alloy that includes 0.6 to 2.0 mass % of Mn and 0.4 mass % or less of Cu, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities, the inner cladding material being formed of an Al—Mn—Cu alloy that includes 0.6 to 2.0 mass % of Mn and 0.2 to 1.5 mass % of Cu, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities, and the sacrificial anode material being formed of an Al—Zn alloy that includes 0.5 to 10.0 mass % of Zn, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities.

  • Patent number: 9032757
    Abstract: A cold storage heat exchanger includes multiple refrigerant tubes, a cold storage container, an inner fin, a cooling air passage and an air-side fin. The inner fin is arranged inside of the cold storage container. The cooling air passage, in which air flows to cool a space, is provided to contact a surface of the refrigerant tube on a side opposite to the cold storage container. The air-side fin is arranged in the cooling air passage and thermally connected to the refrigerant tube. The cold storage container includes multiple recess portions bonded to the inner fin, and multiple protrusion portions located on an outer side of the recess portions. The protrusion portions of the cold storage container are bonded to an outer surface of the refrigerant tube.

  • Patent number: 8978411
    Abstract: An outer surface of a cold-storage container (or a refrigerant tube) is provided with a plurality of protrusion portions or recess portions. A cooling air passage, in which air flows to cool a space to be cooled in a cold storage time and in a cold release time of the cold storage material, is provided to contact a surface of the refrigerant tube on a side opposite to the cold storage container bonded to the refrigerant tube. The refrigerant tubes and the cold storage container form therebetween a cold-storage side air passage by the protrusion portions or the recess portions, such that air flows in the cold-storage side air passage separated from the cooling air passage. For example, the cold-storage side air passage is provided with a slanting space that causes condensed water or ice generated in the cold storage time to be drained along the cold-storage side air passage.
