AC Evaporator assembly

High-precision 3D CAD modeling and reverse engineering of an industrial/automotive AC Evaporator Coil Assembly. This project involved capturing complex geometry and reconstructing a multi-pass refrigerant tube network, intricate U-bends (return bends), manifold headers, and structural mounting brackets into a fully constrained parametric 3D CAD assembly. Project Highlights & Engineering Scope: • Complex Tube Routing: Reconstructed multi-row serpentine tube paths with precise centerline paths, bend radii, and wall thickness consistency. • Return Bends & Manifolds: Modeled individual hairpin return bends, braze joints, and inlet/outlet refrigerant manifold tubes. • Assembly & Fitment: Defined true parametric mating relationships between the tube bundles, side plates, and structural housing for downstream manufacturing and CFD/thermal analysis. • Design Intent Recovery: Restored nominal dimensions and clearances from physical component data, ensuring proper packaging envelope constraints. Software & Deliverables: • Software Used: Geomagic Design X, SolidWorks • Available Formats: Native Parametric Feature Tree (SolidWorks .sldasm / .sldprt), Neutral CAD (STEP AP214/AP242, IGES, Parasolid .x_t) Feel free to contact me via Cad Crowd messages to discuss your heat exchanger, tube routing, or Scan-to-CAD reverse engineering projects!
