Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a fitting and distribution receptacle for a heat exchanger. The fitting includes an outlet located remotely from the tank outlet, a body connecting the tank outlet and the fitting outlet, an inlet located between the tank outlet and the fitting outlet, and a baffle located within the body to direct fluid flow from the inlet to the fitting outlet. The invention also provides a radiator with a tank and an integral fitting with an outlet, an inlet, and a baffle to direct fluid flow. The invention also includes a header with a tank outlet and a fitting with an outlet, inlets, and a baffle to direct fluid flow. The technical effects of the invention include improved fluid flow direction and reduced pressure drop, which enhance the performance and efficiency of heat exchangers.
Problems solved by technology
However, if simple junction connections are utilized, the fluid being added may improperly combine with the existing fluid in the heat exchanger.
This problem becomes more apparent when the fluid exiting the heat exchanger is at a higher or lower temperature than the fluid entering the connection from another source.

The present invention provides a header of a heat exchanger. The header can include a tank having a tank outlet, and an integral fitting including a body extending outwardly away from the tank outlet and having an outlet located remotely from the tank outlet, an inlet located between the tank outlet and the fitting outlet, and a baffle located within the body adjacent to the inlet to direct at least a portion of a fluid flow from the inlet toward the fitting outlet.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to co-pending U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 794,969, filed Apr. 26, 2006, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to vehicle mounted heat exchangers and, more particularly, to heat exchangers and heat exchanger fittings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many heat exchangers in use today, as, for example, radiators, evaporators, and condensers for vehicular and stationary systems, are based on a construction that includes fluid connections to external flow paths for at least one of the fluids passing through the heat exchanger, such as, for example, refrigerant. Generally, a fluid to be heated and / or cooled travels from an external source through an external flow path to the heat exchanger. Once the fluid travels through the heat exchanger, the fluid exits the heat exchanger to another external flow path.[0004]Add...
