Intercooler Chip Blocking Part Flow Deviation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Intercoolers, particularly those with a water-air configuration, suffer from poor heat exchange performance due to high-temperature gas deviation from the flow channel, leading to incomplete heat exchange between the gas and cooling liquid.
Innovation Solution
A chip and chip assembly design featuring a blocking part between the flange and protrusion on the chip surface, which reduces the deviation of cooled medium from the flow channel by blocking its flow to the edge areas, enhancing alignment and heat exchange efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the cooled medium flow channel is formed without blocking parts, then the structure is simple, but the cooled medium deviates from the flow channel and flows to edge areas, reducing heat exchange efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The chip structure is segmented into functional zones by introducing blocking parts that divide the flow channel into distinct sections. These blocking parts create segmented flow paths that guide the cooled medium through specific heat exchange zones, preventing edge deviation while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through integrated molding
Solution Approach 2:
Blocking parts are strategically positioned at specific locations where flow deviation occurs, creating localized flow control zones. The blocking parts have varying heights and positions tailored to specific flow patterns, providing targeted flow management without complicating the entire structure
2Productivity
If blocking parts are added to prevent cooled medium deviation, then heat exchange efficiency improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The blocking parts are merged with the chip body as an integrated structure, eliminating the need for separate components. The blocking parts are formed as integral features of the chip during the molding process, combining flow control functionality with the structural body to avoid additional assembly steps and reduce device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The blocking parts serve multiple functions simultaneously: they act as flow guides, structural support elements, and heat transfer surfaces. By making the blocking parts multi-functional, the design avoids adding dedicated components for each function, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency without proportionally increasing device complexity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The blocking part effectively reduces the proportion of cooled medium that deviates from the flow channel, allowing for more efficient heat exchange between the cooled medium and cooling liquid, thereby improving the overall heat exchange performance of the intercooler.
Implementation Method 1
a blocking part configured to block the cooled medium is formed between the first flange and the protrusion part
Implementation Method 2
the cooled medium flow channel is used for the circulation of the medium (such as high temperature gas) that needs to be cooled, and the cooling liquid flow channel is used for the circulation of the cooling liquid, and the core is usually formed by stacking chips, for the two side plate surfaces of the chip, a high temperature gas flow channel is formed on one side, and a cooling liquid flow channel is formed on the other side, and mediums on two sides of the chip exchange heat through the chip

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of heat exchange devices, and specifically relates to a chip, a chip assembly, a core and an intercooler. The chip has a first flange and a first plate surface used for making contact with a cooled medium. The first flange is formed on the first plate surface and extends in a first direction. A raised part and a cooled medium flow channel are formed on the first plate surface. The raised part is located between the first flange and the cooled medium flow channel in a second direction. A blocking part used for blocking the cooled medium is formed between the first flange and the raised part. The first direction is the extension direction of the cooled medium flow channel, and the second direction is parallel to the first plate surface and is perpendicular to the first direction. The chip, the chip assembly, the core and the intercooler provided by the present disclosure may improve the problem of poor heat exchange performance of existing intercoolers.
