Flat tube heat exchanger, particularly serpentine condenser

摘要

The heat exchanger includes flat tubes (1) which have one end sector (1a) deformed to fit in a component (3) forming a connection cavity. This end sector is twisted and/or bent to form an adjacent section (1b) of smaller measurement across the cross section. The flat tubes may be twisted about an angle (alpha , beta ) between about 10 and 20[deg] at the end fitting in the connection component. This end may be bent in a V shape or a U shape so that the flanks of the bent end sectors are in contact with each other.
