Method of manufacturing a heat exchanger
A heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. With the method, a tube may be inserted into a through hole formed in at least one fin coated with a filler metal, and the tube and a fin collar of the at least one fin may be joined through the filler metal by a brazing processing. A flange may not be formed on or at a top of the at least one fin collar, which protrudes vertically from a central longitudinal plane of the at least one fin. The tube may be made of aluminum (Al), and an interval between an outer circumferential surface of the tube and an inner circumferential surface of the fin collar of the at least one fin may be approximately 0.1 mm or less. Accordingly, contact resistance occurring when fabricating a fin-tube heat exchanger using a mechanical tube expansion method may be reduced, and heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger may be improved because grooves formed within the tube may not be deformed.
Heat-dissipating device and method for manufacturing the same
The present invention relates to a heat-dissipating device and a method for manufacturing the same. The heat-dissipating device includes a base and a first heat-dissipating fin. The outer periphery of the base has a trough. The first heat-dissipating fin has a first heat-dissipating portion, a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end are disposed in the trough. By a machining process, both ends of the first heat-dissipating fin are pressed into the trough of the base at a high speed, so that the base can be combined with the first heat-dissipating fin rapidly. In this way, the manufacture cost is reduced and the heat-dissipating efficiency is increased.
Method for anticorrosion treatment of outer surface of heat exchange tube made of aluminum extrusion and method for producing heat exchanger
The anticorrosion treatment method of the invention is carried out on the outer surface of an aluminum extruded heat exchange tube which is formed of an Al alloy containing Mn 0.2 to 0.3 mass %, Cu 0.05 mass % or less, and Fe 0.2 mass % or less, and which has a wall thickness of 200 m or less. The anticorrosion treatment method includes applying a specific dispersion of a flux powder and a Zn powder onto the outer surface of the heat exchange tube, and vaporizing a liquid component of the dispersion, to thereby deposit the Zn powder and the flux powder on the outer surface of the heat exchange tube, such that the Zn powder deposition amount, the flux powder deposition amount, and the ratio of the flux powder deposition amount to the Zn powder deposition amount are adjusted to specific values.
