Abstract :
Control Atmospheric Brazing (CAB) for
aluminum heat exchangers are widely used in auto
ancillary industries. In the new era of Industry 4.0,
development of auto industries are expected to grow
exponentially and hence HVAC&R industries are
supposed to grow simultaneously. The widen use of
CAB process is the new universally accepted technology
or process for mass production of the heat exchangers.
This process enables the auto vehicle to reduce its weight
by reducing heat exchanger weight, enhance the
performance in compact design of HVAC, and accelerate
the production rate to meet the market demand. Suitable
different aluminum alloy grades are introduced for CAB
Brazing technology and sheet metallurgy and other
applications have been derived. Aluminium alloy was
selected as it is lightweight and can be manufactured and
brazed easily. Aluminium Potassium fluoride flux recent
development has enabled the possibilities of molten
aluminum filler metals during brazing. There are several
processes identified and developed over the time for
fluxing on pre assembled non brazed heat
exchangers.Application of flux is opening the wide range
of possibilities to thermochemical reactions in the CAB
process. In this project & literature survey I am studying
this process in detail which includes real industrial
application, information, process design, Basic details of
the product design of heat exchangers suitable to CAB
brazing. My main focus to study this will consist of the
thermal engineering application in product and its
process as well. I would like to expose myself to identify
the new possibilities in CAB technology.
