A heat exchanger is provided. The heat exchanger comprises: a first header comprising a first globe and a second globe; a second header disposed in parallel with the first header; a tube assembly comprising multiple first tubes for connecting the first header and the second header and causing a refrigerant introduced from the first globe to flow in a first direction toward the position of the second header, and multiple second tubes disposed continuously with the multiple first tubes so as to cause a refrigerant introduced from the second header to flow in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; and multiple heat exchange-fins individually having multiple insertion portions, into which the multiple first tubes and the multiple second tubes are inserted, respectively, and heat exchange surfaces disposed between the multiple insertion portions. The first heat-exchange fin, which is adjacent to the first header among the multiple heat exchange fins, has a heat-exchange surface including a first surface having a louver formed thereon, and a second surface formed to be flat and adjacent to insertion portions into which multiple second tubes are inserted. The second heat-exchange fin, which is adjacent to the second header, has a heat-exchange surface including a first surface.

There is provided a pipe connection arrangement for a heat exchanger and a method of connecting a pipe to a heat exchanger utilising a pipe connection arrangement.

The pipe extends through the bore of the flange and the flange is coupled to the block fitting.

A heat exchange device includes a core and a housing. The core comprises a first collecting part and a second collecting part, and a flat tube part is provided between the two. The flat tube part comprises a first flat tube group and a second flat tube group. The first collecting part comprises first and second collecting portions, and a separator is formed between the two. Each flat tube of the first flat tube group is communicated with the collecting cavity of the first collecting portion. The collecting cavity of the first collecting portion is communicated with the collecting cavity of the second collecting portion by means of the first flat tube group, the collecting cavity of the second collecting part, and the second flat tube group.

A heat exchanger, comprising first plates and second plates, several protrusions being provided on the side of a first plate surface of each first plate, a fin being provided between a second plate surface of each first plate and a first plate surface of the adjacent second plate, and no fin being provided between the side of the first plate where the protrusions are provided and the second plate surface of the adjacent second plate. The heat exchanger increases flow turbulence in first fluid channels by means of the fins, and increases flow turbulence in second fluid channels by means of a structure of the several protrusions, so that low-pressure fluid can flow through the first fluid channels, and high-pressure fluid can flow through the second fluid channels.

There is provided a heat exchange assembly, a battery assembly and a battery heat exchange system. The heat exchange assembly includes a first fluid collecting portion, two or more main body portions, and a second fluid collecting portion. The first fluid collecting portion includes at least one cavity. The main body portions each include two or more fluid passages. The fluid passages each are in communication with the cavity. The first fluid collecting portion includes a first block portion and a first fluid collecting sub-portion that are fixed to each other. A first interface of the heat exchange assembly can be in communication with a first connection aperture of the first block portion, and the first interface of the heat exchange assembly can be in communication with the fluid passage.

The present disclosure relates to a heat exchanger including a plurality of fluid guiding metal pipes (2) having pipe ends (3) arranged side by side at intervals, at least one pipe bottom (4) made of plastic and having receiving through-holes (5) in which the pipe ends (3) may be received, and a collection box (6) made of plastic and which may be connected to the pipe bottom (4) by a locking device formed between the pipe bottom and the collection box, wherein a seal (9) may be inserted between the pipe bottom (4) and the collection box (6), and the seal ensures press-fit of the pipe bottom (4) on the pipe ends (3) and seals the collection box (6) against the pipe bottom (4) and the pipe bottom (4) against the pipe ends (3).

A stacked heat exchanger including a core portion having a plurality of plates stacked on each other to define a flat refrigerant passage and a flat heat medium passage. A first connection member that provides an inlet and an outlet for allowing the refrigerant to flow into the refrigerant passage. A second connection member that provides an inlet and an outlet for allowing the heat medium to flow into the heat medium passage, in which the inlet and the outlet are configured in a state where the heat medium flowing into the heat medium passage flows in an opposite direction to that of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant passage. The core portion includes an offset fin disposed in at least the refrigerant passage.

A method of manufacturing a box header for an air-cooled heat exchanger. The method includes the steps of boring at least one hole into at least one end of an elongated slab of metal. Material from the slab is milled out adjacent to the at least one hole to form an elongated internal chamber in the slab having at least one open end. An inlet nozzle opening is machined into the elongated chamber and an outlet nozzle opening is machined into the elongated chamber. A plurality of tube holes and a plurality of plug holes are drilled and tapped in the elongated slab into the internal chamber. An end block is welded to the at least one open end in order to form a closed internal chamber.
