[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a stacked arc-shaped heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace technology, aircraft engines and gas turbines can reach higher temperature conditions, so the heat exchange capacity of heat exchangers used in conjunction with aircraft engines and gas turbines is required to be higher; most of the existing heat exchangers used in aircraft engines and gas turbines are limited by the use space and material properties, and the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger is small and the heat exchange efficiency is low, resulting in the inability to meet the heat exchange and cooling requirements of high temperature conditions. At present, the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger is mainly enhanced by increasing the size of the heat exchanger. Most of the existing heat exchangers are square or cubic. The size of the heat exchanger needs to be significantly increased to improve the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger. However, the heat exchanger with a significantly increased size is not suitable for assembly in the relatively narrow installation space of aircraft engines and gas turbines. Therefore, a heat exchanger with a compact structure and strong heat exchange capacity is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0037] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5The stacked arc-shaped heat exchanger provided in this embodiment is shown, which is applied to aircraft engines. The stacked arc-shaped heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger core arranged in an arc shape, wherein a liquid inlet groove is arranged at one end of the heat exchanger core along the circumferential direction, and a liquid outlet groove 1 is arranged at the other end. A liquid through hole group is arranged between the liquid inlet groove and the liquid outlet groove 1 along the circumferential direction on the heat exchanger core, and the liquid through hole group includes a plurality of liquid through holes 2 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction. The liquid through holes 2 penetrate the heat exchanger core along the thickness direction and are suitable for low-pressure side fluid to flow through; the heat exchanger core includes a first side plate 3, a heat exchange unit 4 and a second side plate 5 arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the thickness direction. Plate 5, a channel 41 is arranged in the heat exchange unit 4, and the two ends of the channel 41 along the circumferential direction are respectively connected to the liquid inlet groove and the liquid outlet groove 1, and are suitable for the high-pressure side fluid to flow through and exchange heat with the low-pressure side fluid; the heat exchange unit 4 includes a first heat exchange plate 42 and a second heat exchange plate 43 arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the thickness direction, and the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the first heat exchange plate 42 is smaller than the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the second heat exchange plate 43, and the projections of the liquid through hole 2 located in the first side plate 3 and the second heat exchange plate 43 in the thickness direction overlap with the liquid through hole 2 located in the second side plate 5. It can be understood that the radial direction mentioned in the text refers to the radial direction of the heat exchanger core, the circumferential direction mentioned in the text refers to the circumferential direction of the heat exchanger core, and the thickness direction mentioned in the text refers to Figure 1 The thickness direction refers to the thickness direction of the heat exchanger core.

[0039] The stacked arc-shaped heat exchanger of this embodiment is formed by stacking a first heat exchange plate 42 and a second heat exchange plate 43 between the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 5 from top to bottom. The radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the first heat exchange plate 42 is smaller than the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the second heat exchange plate 43. The size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the second heat exchange plate 43 is the same as the size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 5. In the process of heat exchange between the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core along the thickness direction and the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the channel 41, compared with the liquid through hole 2 of the same size penetrating along the thickness direction, The heat exchange unit 4, the size changes of the liquid holes 2 located on the first heat exchange plate 42 and the liquid holes 2 located on the second heat exchange plate 43 in the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment make it possible to extend the path and time of the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchange unit 4 without increasing the thickness of the heat exchange unit 4; at the same time, a plurality of liquid holes 2 are arranged in sequence along the arrangement path of the channel 41, so as to increase the heat exchange area between the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the channel 41 and the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core, thereby improving the heat exchange capacity of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment without basically increasing the size, so as to meet the needs of aircraft engines. Furthermore, the plurality of liquid through holes 2 of the liquid through hole group are arranged circumferentially at intervals between the liquid inlet groove and the liquid outlet groove 1, and the channels 41 are arranged circumferentially; the low-pressure side flow field of the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the liquid through hole group through the heat exchanger core and the high-pressure side flow field of the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core through channel 41 are evenly distributed without bias flow, so that the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the liquid through holes 2 at different positions transfers heat evenly, and heat or cold can be dissipated in time, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption, and further improving the heat exchange capacity of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment without substantially increasing the size, so as to meet the high-efficiency heat exchange and cooling requirements of aircraft engines under higher temperature conditions.

[0040] The stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment is configured with an arc-shaped structure as the core of the heat exchanger. On the one hand, compared with a straight structure, the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment can extend the path and time of the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the channel 41 within the same size space, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the high-pressure side fluid and the low-pressure side fluid, thereby improving the heat exchange capacity of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment and meeting the high-efficiency heat exchange and cooling requirements of the high-temperature working conditions of the aircraft engine. On the other hand, it is suitable for installation in the relatively narrow arc space between the internal high-pressure shaft of the aircraft engine and the casing in the combustion chamber.

[0041] It should be noted that the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment can also be applied to gas turbines.

[0042] It should also be noted that when the high-pressure side fluid is a cold fluid, the low-pressure side fluid is a hot fluid; conversely, when the high-pressure side fluid is a hot fluid, the low-pressure side fluid is a cold fluid. Ensure that the high-pressure side fluid and the low-pressure side fluid exchange heat when they flow in reverse directions in the heat exchanger core.

[0043] In a specific application, the cross-sectional profile of the liquid through hole 2 perpendicular to the thickness direction can be set to be square, circular or diamond, etc. In this embodiment, the liquid through hole 2 is set to be a square through hole.

[0044] The first side plate 3, the heat exchange unit 4 and the second side plate 5 in the heat exchanger core of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment can be integrally stamped and formed, the liquid hole 2 is obtained by laser cutting, and the channel 41 is obtained by chemical etching. The first side plate 3, the heat exchange unit 4 and the second side plate 5 are connected by laser welding or superplastic forming diffusion welding, so that the overall structure of the heat exchanger core is compact, the overall strength is high, the precision is high, the reliability is high, it can withstand high pressure, and meet the requirements of efficient heat exchange under high pressure and high temperature conditions of aircraft engines.

[0045] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in the following embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchange unit 4 further includes a third heat exchange plate 44 and a fourth heat exchange plate 45 which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom along the thickness direction, and the third heat exchange plate 44 is arranged on the side of the second heat exchange plate 43 away from the first heat exchange plate 42 along the thickness direction; the radial dimension of the liquid through hole 2 located in the third heat exchange plate 44 is smaller than the radial dimension of the liquid through hole 2 located in the fourth heat exchange plate 45, and the projection of the liquid through hole 2 located in the fourth heat exchange plate 45 along the thickness direction overlaps with the corresponding liquid through hole 2 located in the second heat exchange plate 43. By adding a third heat exchange plate 44 and a fourth heat exchange plate 45 in the heat exchange unit 4, and the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the third heat exchange plate 44 is smaller than the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located in the fourth heat exchange plate 45, in the process of the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core along the thickness direction and the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the channel 41 to exchange heat, compared with the use of liquid through holes 2 of the same size passing through the heat exchange unit 4 along the thickness direction, the size changes of the liquid through hole 2 located in the first heat exchange plate 42 and the liquid through hole 2 located in the second heat exchange plate 43 in the stacked arc-shaped heat exchanger of this embodiment, and the liquid through hole 2 located in the third heat exchange plate 44 and the liquid through hole 2 located in the fourth heat exchange plate 45 are smaller than the liquid through hole 2 located in the third heat exchange plate 44. The size change of the liquid through hole 2 of the plate 45 effectively prolongs the path and time of the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchange unit 4 without additionally increasing the thickness of the heat exchange unit 4, thereby improving the efficiency of heat exchange between the low-pressure side fluid and the high-pressure side fluid, ensuring that the heat exchange unit 4 formed by the first heat exchange plate 42, the second heat exchange plate 43, the third heat exchange plate 44 and the fourth heat exchange plate 45 stacked in sequence and compactly arranged has significantly improved heat exchange capacity, and realizes the improvement of the heat exchange capacity of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment without significantly increasing the size, so as to ensure that it is used in conjunction with an aircraft engine and meets the efficient heat exchange and cooling requirements of high-temperature conditions of the aircraft engine.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the liquid inlet groove penetrates the heat exchange unit 4 along the thickness direction, and the liquid outlet groove 1 penetrates the heat exchange unit 4 along the thickness direction.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located at the second heat exchange plate 43 is twice the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located at the first heat exchange plate 42; the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located at the fourth heat exchange plate 45 is twice the radial size of the liquid through hole 2 located at the third heat exchange plate 44; the liquid through holes 2 located at the first heat exchange plate 42 and the liquid through holes 2 located at the third heat exchange plate 44 are staggered in the radial direction, and the projection of the liquid through holes 2 located at the first heat exchange plate 42 along the thickness direction does not fall within the range of the corresponding liquid through holes 2 located at the third heat exchange plate 44. Because the liquid through holes 2 located in the first heat exchange plate 42 and the liquid through holes 2 located in the third heat exchange plate 44 are staggered in the radial direction, and the projection combination of the liquid through holes 2 located in the first heat exchange plate 42 and the liquid through holes 2 located in the third heat exchange plate 44 in the thickness direction just overlaps with the liquid through holes 2 located in the second heat exchange plate 43, so in the process of the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core in the thickness direction, the flow direction of the low-pressure side fluid is turned at the connection between the liquid through holes 2 located in the first side plate 3 and the liquid through holes 2 located in the first heat exchange plate 42 and at the connection between the liquid through holes 2 located in the second heat exchange plate 43 and the liquid through holes 2 located in the third heat exchange plate 44, so that the low-pressure side fluid flows in a path similar to a "broken line" (such as Figure 3 The route shown by L1 in FIG. 4 flows through the heat exchange unit 4, which fully extends the path of the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core, and ensures that the efficiency of heat exchange between the low-pressure side fluid and the high-pressure side fluid is effectively improved without additionally increasing the thickness of the heat exchange unit 4, so as to improve the heat exchange capacity of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment without significantly increasing the size, so as to ensure that it is used in conjunction with the aircraft engine and meets the efficient heat exchange and cooling requirements of the high-temperature working conditions of the aircraft engine.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid hole groups are provided in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of liquid hole groups are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the heat exchanger core; the channels 41 are provided in multiple groups, and each channel 41 is located between two adjacent groups of liquid hole groups in the radial direction. By providing a group of liquid hole groups on both sides of each channel 41 in the radial direction, the heat exchange area between the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the channel 41 and the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core is increased, so as to improve the heat exchange capacity of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment without substantially increasing the size, so as to meet the needs of aircraft engines.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid holes 2 of the liquid hole group are at least partially staggered with the corresponding liquid holes 2 of the adjacent liquid hole group along the circumferential direction. In this way, the liquid holes 2 of the two adjacent liquid hole groups located on both sides of each channel 41 along the radial direction are partially staggered along the circumferential direction, thereby improving the heat exchange effect between the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the two adjacent liquid hole groups and the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the corresponding channel 41.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the channel 41 includes a first channel 411, a second channel 412, a third channel 413 and a fourth channel 414, the first channel 411 is arranged on the first heat exchange plate 42, the second channel 412 is arranged on the second heat exchange plate 43, the third channel 413 is arranged on the third heat exchange plate 44, and the fourth channel 414 is arranged on the fourth heat exchange plate 45. In this way, the low-pressure side fluid can exchange heat with the high-pressure side fluid in the corresponding channel of the corresponding heat exchange plate when flowing through the liquid holes 2 of the corresponding heat exchange plate, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the upper end surface of the first heat exchange plate 42 along the thickness direction is provided with a first groove, and the first groove and the clamping area of ​​the lower end surface of the first side plate 3 form the first channel 411. By providing a first groove on the end surface of the first heat exchange plate 42 toward the first side plate 3 along the thickness direction, when the first side plate 3 is stacked on the upper end surface of the first heat exchange plate 42 and connected by diffusion welding, the first groove and the clamping area of ​​the lower end surface of the first side plate 3 form a closed first channel 411, the structure of the entire heat exchange unit 4 is more compact and it is convenient to chemically etch the first groove on the first heat exchange plate 42, the process is simple, avoids time-consuming complex process processing, reduces the manufacturing cost of components, and facilitates processing of more first grooves on the first heat exchange plate 42 of the same size, so that more first channels 411 are provided without increasing the size of the heat exchange unit 4, and the heat exchange area between the high-pressure side fluid flowing through the channel 41 and the low-pressure side fluid flowing through the heat exchanger core is increased, so that the heat exchange capacity of the stacked arc heat exchanger of this embodiment is improved without basically increasing the size, so as to meet the needs of aircraft engines.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the upper end surface of the second heat exchange plate 43 along the thickness direction is provided with a second groove, and the second groove and the clamping area of ​​the lower end surface of the first heat exchange plate 42 form the second channel 412.
