Definitions

  • the subject of this invention is an energy exchange structure according to the preamble of claim 1 and an automobile oil cooler comprising such a structure, the invention being particularly suitable for applications in oil cooling equipment of automobile engines in which high ratios - heat transfer / oil pressure drop - are desired.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such an oil cooler.
  • heat transfer systems external to the engine block, usually used as oil coolers in automotive applications included a continuous serpentine tube, with or without cooling fins, installed outside the engine, usually in the air stream in front of the radiator or in the latter's cooling radiator.
  • Oil such as engine oil, transmission oil or any other fluid, is sent into the tube to be cooled.
  • a refrigerant passed over the tube, for example in a radiator using a refrigerant or in a separate element using air cooling, thus ensuring the exchange of energy in the tube between the hot oil and the coolant.
  • the oil coolers were subsequently mounted on the engine, usually between the engine block and the oil filter. mounted externally to the engine; they cooled the oil coming in or leaving the filter using the fluid from the engine cooling system.
  • These oil filter mounted coolers generally included multiple hollow plate structures spaced apart from each other and generally parallel between which the oil and coolant flow in parallel planes to maximize heat transfer .
  • Such spaced plate structures can be fitted with cooling fins between the hollow structures or are constructed of corrugated plates. In such devices, oil flows from an orifice located on or near the filter to the cooler and flows between the parallel plates of the cooler.
  • the cooling agent coming from the engine cooling system circulates between and / or near the parallel plates containing the circulating oil, thereby transferring the heat energy from the oil to the cooling agent.
  • the cooling agent coming from the engine cooling system circulates between and / or near the parallel plates containing the circulating oil, thereby transferring the heat energy from the oil to the cooling agent.
  • One of the typical characteristics of oil coolers mounted on the filter is that one or both fluids circulate in a generally circular direction relative to the center of the cooler and, generally, the heat transfer elements of the fins and wavy surfaces, are generally not aligned in more than one or two directions.
  • One of the aims of this invention is to provide energy exchange structures having better heat transfer.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide energy exchange structures causing only a reduced drop in the internal pressure of the fluid.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an automotive oil cooler with reduced internal oil pressure drop.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to propose a method of manufacturing energy exchange structures ensuring efficient heat transfer associated with a drop in internal pressure of the reduced fluid.
  • the invention relates to an energy exchange structure, comprising plates generally opposite in parallel and assembled to define between them a hollow passage in which a fluid circulates in a generally circular direction between an inlet and an outlet, the said opposite plates being corrugated to form a cruciform structure defining multiple opposing gutters projecting into the hollow passage and arranged to constitute four or more sets of generally parallel gutters drawn to make an oblique with respect to the adjacent sets and also with respect to the direction of circulation of the fluid which flows in the hollow passage formed by the plates assembled to one another.
  • the sets of gutters of a first plate being arranged to join in cross with the opposite sets of gutters of a second plate so that the volume comprised between the opposed gutters of the opposite sets defines cruciform passages in which the fluid can circulate.
  • Automobile engine oil coolers include multiple opposing plates, stacked to form interconnected energy exchange structures for flow of oil in a generally circular direction.
  • the inputs of the energy exchange structures open into an input collector where they are connected in parallel with the other inputs or else they are connected in series with the inputs and outputs of a second structure.
  • the outputs lead to an output collector and are also connected either in parallel or in series with the inputs and outputs of a second structure.
  • the stacked and interconnected energy exchange structures provide the passage for the flow of oil inside the energy exchange structures and for the circulation of a cooling fluid outside the energy structures. energy exchange.
  • the preferential direction of the flow of the fluid generally forms an oblique with respect to the axis of the opposite gutters of the opposite plates of the energy exchange structures to improve the energy exchange.
  • the energy exchange structures can be installed inside a container acting as a housing in which the liquid and / or the cooling gas can be circulated above and between the opposing plates, or alternatively may be exposed to be subjected to a draft or other coolant.
  • the periphery of the stacked energy exchange structures can be made integral with the wall of the housing so as to define separate passages for the coolant which can also be connected separately or interconnected in parallel or in series with the inlet collectors and / or coolant outlet.
  • Automobile engine oil coolers are manufactured by a process in which opposing plates are corrugated to obtain a cruciform structure forming multiple gutters arranged in four or more sets of generally parallel gutters, with each set forming an oblique with the direction of the adjacent assemblies as well as with the circular direction of the flow of the fluid in the hollow passage formed between the attached plates.
  • the gutters of a first plate are in contact with the tops of the gutters in opposition to a second plate and the area between the gutters in opposition constitutes a passage which preferably must form an oblique between 5 and 75 ° with respect to the circular direction of flow in energy exchange structures.
  • Said first and second plates are assembled to form a hollow passage, comprising an inlet and an outlet for the fluid, the passage being constructed to direct the incoming fluid from the inlet towards the outlet in a generally circular direction.
  • the multiple energy exchange structures can be assembled in series and / or in parallel to constitute the cooler, with an input of a first energy exchange structure connected to an output or to an input of a second energy exchange structure.
  • the energy exchange structures thus assembled are placed in a container serving as a housing equipped with an inlet and an outlet for the coolant.
  • the contiguous outer edges of the opposing plates are extended to form a flat plate providing additional cooling surface on the outer edges of the exchange structures.
  • Such an extension allows the circulation of the cooling fluid over the outer limits of the stacked structures for additional cooling and may also present a practical means of assembling the structures together to immobilize them in the housing.

  • the bottom of attachment to the oil filter 20 includes an oil outlet 21 and a sealing surface to the oil filter 22.
  • the interior opening of the housing 14 goes from the bottom of the attachment to the engine 12 to the bottom of the attachment to the oil filter 20 and thus presents a passage in which a removable oil filter can be fixed to the engine while ensuring the sealing of the filter and the cooler to the engine as well as the return passage of the cooled and filtered oil to the engine.
  • the oil cooler 10 comprises a set of hollow energy exchange structures, contained in the housing 11, through which the oil circulates between the oil inlet 13 and the oil outlet 21. Surrounding at at least part of the energy exchange structures, there are hollow passages in which the coolant can flow from the inlet of the coolant 18 to the outlet of the coolant 19 while establishing an exchange ratio of energy with hollow energy exchange structures.
  • a first fluid first brought to high temperature, such as hot engine oil, enters the oil cooler 10 through the oil inlet 13, circulates between the opposite plates by the generally circular passages of all of the hollow energy exchange structures up to the engine oil outlet from the cooler 21 to the inlet of the oil filter (not shown in the figures).
  • the cooled oil passes through the oil filter, then is directed to a hollow oil filter attachment rod (not shown in the figures) which extends to the engine passing through the interior opening 14 of the housing.
  • the hollow oil filter attachment rod attaches to the engine and is threaded in a conventional manner to compress the oil filter and oil cooler to the engine. The rod therefore provides both a means of fixing the filter and the cooler to the engine and a return passage of the cooled and filtered oil from the filter to the engine.
  • the oil can follow an opposite path: from the engine to the filter by the hollow rod, then to the cooler and back to the engine from the cooler.
  • the circulation of oil through the exchange structures is directed by several assemblies, arranged to form an angle between them, of generally parallel gutters which protrude into the hollow passage of the opposite plates.
  • the oil flow is passively separated and mixed by the cruciform paths formed by the opposing gutters thus increasing the contact of the oil flow with the opposite plates of the energy exchange structure.
  • the heat energy from the oil is dissipated in the opposite plates of the energy exchange structures and in all the fins with which it can be in contact.
  • a second fluid such as a coolant such as a conventional water / antifreeze mixture, enters through the inlet of the cooler 18 so as to circulate through opposite plates or any fin with which it can be in contact, preferably in the direction contrary to the direction of flow of the oil flow.
  • the heat energy is dissipated by the energy exchange structures when the heat energy of the cooling fluid is less than the heat energy of the exchange structures.

  • the volumes between the energy exchange structures stacked one on the other also constitute passages formed by the undulations of the plates.
  • the coolant circulating in these passages is directed by the arrangement of the gutters 27 and 28.
