Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a heat exchanger, and more particularly to a bent parallel-flow heat exchanger.
  • a heat exchanger for example a parallel-flow heat exchanger (such as a multi-channel heat exchanger) is broadly applied to a refrigeration system, and in some application situations, the heat exchanger needs to be bent, that is, a header of the heat exchanger needs to be bent.
  • a header of the heat exchanger needs to be bent.
  • the heat exchanger is bent along a length direction of the header, if bent improperly, a performance of the heat exchanger will be affected adversely, or application requirements cannot be met.
  • a heat exchanger When a heat exchanger is bent along a length direction of a header, if a bending radius is oversize, application requirements cannot be met in a case that a mounting space for the heat exchanger is limited. If the bending radius is undersize, a flat tube of the heat exchanger is deformed and a fin of the heat exchanger is torn, such that a heat exchange efficiency is affected, thus reducing a performance, even leading to a leakage of the flat tube and causing the heat exchanger to be scrapped. In addition, an excessive compression and deformation of the header may increase a pressure loss of coolant in the header and thus reduce the performance of the heat exchanger. Therefore, inventors realize that, a control of bending parameters is a factor affecting the performance, reliability and mounting-application convenience of the bent heat exchanger.
  • an objective of the present disclosure is to provide a bent heat exchanger.
  • the bending radius of the header is controlled, such that when the heat exchanger is bent along the header, the fin at an outer side of the bending will not be torn, and the header after being bent has a reduced deformation and an enough bursting strength.
