Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of heat exchangers, in particular to a plate-fin heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] The battery of a tram will generate a lot of heat during operation, so it is necessary to dissipate heat to keep the battery temperature within an appropriate range. At the same time, recycling the heat energy generated by the battery helps save energy and improve the energy efficiency of the entire vehicle system. In traditional trams, the heat of the battery is directly discharged to the outside through the radiator, resulting in a waste of heat energy. In order to save energy, it is necessary to recycle the heat dissipated by the battery. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a plate-fin heat exchanger is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The heat exchange shell contains a heat exchange chamber, and a heat exchange U-shaped flow channel is provided in the heat exchange chamber;
[0007] The heat flow housing contains a heat flow chamber, and the heat flow chamber is provided with a heat flow U-shaped flow channel;
[0008] The heat exchange shell and the heat flow shell are both provided with a heat exchange liquid inlet, a heat exchange liquid outlet, a heat flow inlet and a heat flow outlet;

[0012] In order to better realize the utility model, it can be further provided that: diversion particles are evenly distributed on the hot flow U-shaped flow channel.
[0013] Furthermore: heat exchange fins are arranged in the heat exchange U-shaped flow channel.
[0014] Furthermore: the heat flow separation rib is arranged on the heat flow housing, and the heat flow separation rib forms a heat flow U-shaped flow channel in the heat flow chamber.
