In the header group, the main header section extends along a first direction, and the plurality of main header sections are sequentially arranged along a second direction. An included angle between the first direction and the second direction is greater than 0°.

A heat exchanger includes a collecting pipe, a number of heat exchange tubes and a distributor. The collecting pipe has a first cavity and a first inner peripheral wall. The heat exchange tube has a second cavity. The distributor is accommodated in the first cavity. The distributor has a main cavity and a flow channel. The distributor includes a second inner peripheral wall forming the main cavity and a first outer peripheral wall. An axis of the first outer circle is not coaxial with an axis of the second outer circle, so that the flow channel of the distributor is relatively tortuous. It is beneficial to improve the distribution effect of a fluid. Besides, since the flow channel is formed inside the distributor, it is also beneficial to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the distributor. A method for making the heat exchanger is also disclosed.

A multi-step method is disclosed for exchanging heat in a vapor compression heat transfer system having a working fluid circulating therethrough. The method includes the step of circulating a working fluid comprising a fluoroolefin to an inlet of a first tube of an internal heat exchanger, through the internal heat exchanger and to an outlet thereof. Also disclosed are vapor compression heat transfer systems for exchanging heat. The systems include an evaporator, a compressor, a dual-row condenser and an intermediate heat exchanger having a first tube and a second tube. A disclosed system involves a dual-row condenser connected to the first and second intermediate heat exchanger tubes. Another disclosed system involves a dual-row evaporator connected to the first and second intermediate heat exchanger tubes.

A heat exchanger includes tubes, a tank, and a prevention plate arranged inside the tank and contacting end surfaces of the tubes to prevent heat medium from flowing into the tubes in a certain region. Flow paths are formed in each tube and arranged in a width direction of the tube. The prevention plate includes a deformable portion elastically deformable by contacting an edge of the opening at a time of inserting the prevention plate into the tank from the opening. The deformable portion of the prevention plate that has been inserted into the tank is restored and receives a reaction force from an inner surface of the tank such that the prevention plate is shifted along the width direction by the reaction force.

A liquid-cooling radiator module includes a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a heat dissipation stacked structure, a radiator inlet and a radiator outlet. The first reservoir includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The second reservoir includes a third chamber and a fourth chamber. A fin tube layer of the heat dissipation stacked structure is sandwiched between the first reservoir and the second reservoir. The radiator inlet is connected to the first reservoir and the first chamber. The radiator outlet is connected to the second reservoir and the fourth chamber. A part of fin tubes of the fin tube layer communicates with the first chamber and the third chamber, another part of the fin tubes communicates with the third chamber and the second chamber, and one another part of the fin tubes communicates with the second chamber and the fourth chamber.

A heat exchanger includes a tubular refrigerant distributor having insertion holes spaced from each other in a first direction and into which ends of heat transfer tubes are inserted in a second direction. A first partition plate partitions the refrigerant distributor into a first space into which the ends of the heat transfer tubes are inserted and a second space, larger than the first space, into which the ends of the heat transfer tubes are not inserted; and an inflow pipe provided on a one side-surface side of the refrigerant distributor. The heat transfer tubes are located apart from the first partition plate in the first space. The first partition plate is provided with an orifice that is provided at a location corresponding to a space between adjacent ones of the heat transfer tubes, and that causes the first space and the second space to communicate with each other.

A heat exchange apparatus includes a heat exchanger, a refrigerant adjustment component, and a first connecting member. The heat exchanger includes a first pipe, a second pipe, a plurality of heat exchange tubes connecting the first pipe and the second pipe, and an edge plate located on an outer side of the plurality of heat exchange tubes in a length direction of the first pipe. At least part of the refrigerant adjustment component is located on an outer side of the edge plate in the length direction of the first pipe. An included angle between an axis in a length direction of at least part of an outer wall of the refrigerant adjustment component and an axis in the length direction of the first pipe is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat exchange units each including a plurality of flat tubes, a plurality of fins, an upper header, and a lower header. In the plurality of heat exchange units, the upper headers are connected such that the upper headers communicate with each other, and the lower headers are connected such that the lower headers communicate with each other through an opening-closing valve. The heat exchanger has a configuration in which when the heat exchanger serves as a condenser, the opening-closing valve is controlled such that refrigerant in at least one of the plurality of heat exchange units flows in an upward direction, and refrigerant in the other one or the other ones of the plurality of heat exchange units flows in a downward direction.

A heat exchanger has an upper manifold with a first curved section; a lower manifold spaced from and extending parallel to the upper manifold and having a second curved section; a plurality of refrigerant tubes, and a plurality of corrugated fins. Each corrugated fin is formed by a strip having radiused portions alternating with planar portions, and the radiused portions are in contact with the respective adjacent refrigerant tubes. Each of the fins has a curve-inner edge and a curve outer edge and at least one edge of the curve-inner edge and the curve outer edge of at least one fin has a recessed portion in the planar portions that is recessed inward toward a center of the core.

A heat exchanger assembly includes a header extending in a longitudinal direction, a plurality of heat transfer tubes aligned along the longitudinal direction of the header and connected to the header, a plurality of fins secured to the heat transfer tubes, a first corrective member and a second corrective member. The first corrective member extends along the longitudinal direction of the header on a downstream side of the heat transfer tubes or the header along a direction of an air flow. The second corrective member extends along the longitudinal direction of the header on an upstream side of the heat transfer tubes or the header along the direction of the air flow. A sandwiched object is at least any one of the heat transfer tubes, the fins, and the header. The sandwiched object is sandwiched by the first and second corrective members.
