Heat exchanger and case for same

Abstract

Provided is a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a case including a plurality of chambers, each of the plurality of chambers having a chamber entry opening to the outside; and a plurality of heat exchange tubes accommodated in the each of the plurality of chambers, where each heat exchange tube includes an inlet portion; an outlet portion; and an intermediate portion connected between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, wherein each heat exchange tube of one of the plurality of chambers is arranged as a mirror image from corresponding heat exchange tube of an adjacent chamber of the one of the plurality of chambers with respect to a wall disposed between the one and the adjacent chambers.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0079910 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jul. 8, 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] An apparatus consistent with an exemplary embodiment relates to a heat exchanger and a housing therefor, and more particularly, to a heat exchanger having improved heat exchanging performance and a compact structure and a case for the same Heat exchanger shell. Background technique [0003] Heat exchangers are used to exchange heat between heat transfer media having different temperatures by directly or indirectly contacting each other, and such heat exchangers are applied to various fluid mechanical systems, such as heat engines or cooling systems. [0004] For cooling fluids used in fluid mechanical systems such as multi-stage compressors with multiple compression stages, heat exchangers are also designed with a numb...

Problems solved by technology

However, in prior art heat exchangers including a plurality of heat exchange chambers, each chamber has a chamber wall, and the distance between adjacent heat exchange chambers is large, thereby increasing the overall size of the heat exchanger

[0005] In addition, although each heat exchange chamber has a high-temperature region and a low-temperature region, the prior art heat exchanger is designed without considering the thermal characteristics of the different regions of the heat exchange chamber, so the prior art heat exchanger There are limitations in improving heat transfer performance

[0006] The prior art heat exchanger is also configured such that the channel through which the heat exchange fluid for heat exchange flows to the heat exchange chamber protrudes from the heat exchange chamber, thereby increasing the overall size of the heat exchanger

In addition, since the oil passage through which oil for lubrication or other purposes passes is provided in the heat exchanger without considering the thermal characteristics of the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger of the prior art is not good in terms of heat exchanging performance. There are limitations
