  • Publication number: 20210207896
    Abstract: Circulation duct for conveying a fluid of a heat exchanger, and heat exchanger. The duct (1) comprises two surfaces (s1, s2), each with a plurality of protruding elements (p) which project inside the duct (1), and are arranged adjacent to one another, forming a row which includes protruding elements (p) with a different form, and extends in a longitudinal direction according to the main direction of circulation Y of the fluid circulating, such that the flow of fluid encounters protruding elements (p) which are different sequentially both in space, according to this longitudinal direction, and in time, thus generating a plurality of disordered current lines (L). The heat exchanger comprises circulation ducts for a fluid, at least one of which is formed according to the circulation duct of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 10126074
    Abstract: The invention is related to a heat exchanger (1), which comprises: at least one column of parallel tubes (2) which are arranged in a stack and which define a longitudinal direction; a housing (3) inside which the tubes (2) are housed, the tubes (2) being separated from one another, so as to configure a channel for the passage of cooling fluid consisting of: passage sections (4) between tubes (2) that are contiguous in the direction of the stack; passage sections (5) between tubes and housing (3); and baffles (6, 7) that deflect the cooling fluid. According to the invention, the baffles are at least two lamellar bodies (6, 7) of a single piece arranged in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 9791215
    Abstract: A heat exchanger (1) for gases, in particular for the exhaust gases of an engine includes a bundle of tubes (2) arranged inside a casing (3) defining a gas inlet (4) and outlet (5). The tubes (2) being intended for the circulation of the gases with a view to exchanging heat with a coolant, and the tubes (2) being distributed in at least one column having a plurality of rows defining a plurality of spaces (8) between the rows, and including a coolant inlet pipe (9) and outlet pipe (10) connected to the casing (3). The exchanger (1) includes a bypass channel (11) incorporated into the casing (3) capable of connecting the spaces (8) defined between the rows of tubes (2) located in front of the channel (11) with one of the coolant pipes (10), in such a way as to improve the distribution of the coolant.

  • Publication number: 20160327344
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between first and second fluids, said exchanger including: a casing and an exchange bundle positioned inside said casing, wherein the exchange bundle includes: a main surface which has a main width and which consists of a plurality of tubes suitable for guiding the first fluid inside said tubes; an intake of the first fluid toward an outlet of the first fluid, making it possible to guide, outside of said tubes, the second fluid; an intake of the second fluid toward an outlet of the second fluid; wherein the tubes are, at least at one first end, assembled such as to form a secondary surface having a secondary width which is smaller than the main width for coupling with the intake and/or the outlet of the first fluid; wherein the secondary surface at the first end of the tubes is formed such as to create a space between the casing and the outer surface of the secondary surface, said space being connected to the intake and/or the outlet of the
