Abstract

This microchannel heat exchanger includes: a heat exchanger body including a channel layer stack formed in such a manner that a plurality of high-temperature channel layers provided with a channel for a high-temperature fluid and a plurality of low-temperature channels layers provided with a channel for a low-temperature fluid are alternately stacked, an inlet and an outlet for the high-temperature fluid, and an inlet and an outlet for the low-temperature fluid; and a control board that is fixed in a stacking direction of the heat exchanger body, and that at least installs a plurality of temperature sensors that are inserted in the stacking method of the heat exchanger body in such a manner that a sensing point is arranged near each of the inlet and the outlet for the high-temperature fluid and the inlet and the outlet for the low-temperature fluid.

Claims (11)

1. A microchannel heat exchanger, comprising:

a microchannel heat exchanger body including a channel layer stack formed in such a manner that a plurality of high-temperature channel layers provided with a channel for a high-temperature fluid and a plurality of low-temperature channel layers provided with a channel for a low-temperature fluid are alternately stacked, an inlet and an outlet for the high-temperature fluid, and an inlet and an outlet for the low-temperature fluid; and

a printed circuit board that is fixed to a surface of the microchannel heat exchanger body, and that has installed thereon at least a plurality of temperature sensors that are mounted on a surface of the printed circuit board and inserted in a stacking direction of the heat exchanger body in such a manner that each sensing point of the plurality of temperature sensors is arranged to be in direct contact with fluid near each of the inlet and the outlet for the high-temperature fluid and the inlet and the outlet for the low-temperature fluid.

2. The microchannel heat exchanger according to claim 1 , characterized in that

a display device that displays temperature data is installed in the printed circuit board.

3. The microchannel heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein

a transmission device that wiredly or wirelessly sends temperature data to an external device is installed in the printed circuit board.

4. The microchannel heat exchanger according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a heater in the printed circuit board, the heater being arranged near the channel for the low-temperature fluid of the microchannel heat exchanger body.

5. The microchannel heat exchanger according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a flow adjustment ring disposed near each of the inlet and the outlet of the high-temperature fluid and the inlet and the outlet of the low-temperature fluid so that the temperature of fluid that flows in or flows out of the inlet or the outlet of the heat exchanger body can be correctly measured without being influenced by a velocity boundary layer and a temperature boundary layer.
