Abstract

The warning system involves a cooling system having a latent heat storage, with a layer of material similar to that of radiator at risk but is thinner than material at the place at risk. Destruction of this thin material due to corrosion results a long time before any corrosion damage is apparent at the endangered place of the radiator cooling system. The system only responds if a risk to the radiator exists, other alterations of the cooling liquid are not indicated. The thin material layer is carried on an insulated body, which protects the layer against destruction by turbulence. It is integrated in an electrical circuit, and is so dimensioned that an interruption is reliably determined, also with increasing conductivity of the cooling liquid.

Description

Die Erfindung wird beispielhaft anhand eines mit Flüssigkeit gekühltem Kraft­ fahrzeugmotor beschrieben, ist aber auch für andere Wärmetauschersysteme anwendbar.The invention is exemplified by a liquid-cooled force Vehicle engine described, but is also for other heat exchanger systems applicable.

Kühler von Kraftfahrzeugen werden aus Kostengründen zunehmend aus dünnwan­ digen Aluminiumlegierungen hergestellt, ein Werkstoff der besonders korrosions­ anfällig ist. Um Schäden zu vermeiden, werden der Kühlflüssigkeit Schutzmittel beigemischt, die unter normalen Betriebsbedingungen, ihren Zweck ausreichend erfüllen.Coolers of motor vehicles are increasingly made of thin material for cost reasons aluminum alloys, a material that is particularly corrosive is vulnerable. To avoid damage, the coolant is protective admixed that under normal operating conditions, their purpose sufficient fulfill.

Steigt aus irgend einem Grund die Aggressivität der Kühlflüssigkeit an, kann es zu Korrosionsschäden kommen, die bis zum Durchbruch des Kühlers und u. U. zum Motorschaden führen können.If for some reason the aggressiveness of the coolant increases, it can corrosion damage, which can occur until the radiator breaks through and U. can lead to engine damage.

Die Gefahr erhöht sich naturgemäß, wenn in dem Kühlkreislauf ein sog. Latent­ wärmespeicher einbezogen wird, der mit einem ätzendem Medium als Arbeitsmit­ tel gefüllt ist. Bei einer Leckage im Kühlkreislauf kann es zu Korrosionsschäden kommen.The risk naturally increases if there is a so-called latent in the cooling circuit heat storage is included, which works with an etching medium tel is filled. Leakage in the cooling circuit can lead to corrosion damage come.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein preiswertes Warnsystem zu schaffen, das der Beginn einer echten Korrosionsgefahr anzeigt, lange bevor ein Schaden auftritt, so daß genug Zeit vorhanden bleibt, die aufgetretene Störung zu beseitigen.The invention has for its object to an inexpensive warning system create that indicates the beginning of a real risk of corrosion long before one Damage occurs so that there is enough time, the disruption that has occurred to eliminate.

Darüber hinaus sollten möglicherweise andere Änderungen der Kühlflüssigkeits­ qualität, wie z. B. elektrische Leitfähigkeit oder PH, die solange sie für das Kühl­ system ungefährlich sind, nicht angezeigt werden, um die Auslösung eines fal­ schen Alarms zu vermeiden.In addition, there may be other changes to the coolant quality, such as B. electrical conductivity or PH, as long as they are for cooling system are harmless, are not shown to trigger a fal to avoid alarms.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist Gegenstand dieser Erfindung. Ein Teststreifen mit gleichen oder vergleichbaren Korrosionseigenschaften, jedoch mit um Größenord­ nungen geringerer Wandstärke als das Kühlermaterial, wird im Kühlkreislauf ein­ gebaut. Im Störfall wird der Streifen aufgelöst, lange bevor ein Schaden für den Kühler entstehen kann. Bei nicht zu dünner Schicht, kann die Erfassung elek­ trisch erfolgen, in der Art, daß der Streifen als leitende Schicht auf einen geeig­ neten Isolierkörper aufgebracht wird und je nach Schaltung, mit einem oder zwei wasserdichten elektrischen Durchführungen in einem Stromkreis verbunden wird. Bei Unterbrechung der Schicht und damit des Stromkreises, wird eine Warnmeldung ausgelöst.This object is the subject of this invention. A test strip with same or comparable corrosion properties, but with order of magnitude If the wall thickness is less than that of the cooler material, the built. In the event of a malfunction, the strip is broken up long before damage is caused to the Cooler can arise. If the layer is not too thin, the detection can be elec trisch done in such a way that the strip as a conductive layer on a geeig Neten insulating body is applied and depending on the circuit, with one or two waterproof electrical feedthroughs connected in one circuit becomes. If the layer and thus the circuit are interrupted, a Warning message triggered.

Dünne Schichten mit definierten Eigenschaften können mittels Aufdampf- oder Sputterverfahren im Hochvakuum preiswert hergestellt werden.Thin layers with defined properties can be deposited or Sputtering processes can be produced inexpensively in a high vacuum.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer lediglich einiger Ausführungsbeispiele darstellenden Zeichnung ausführlich erläutert.In the following, the invention is described using only a few exemplary embodiments illustrative drawing explained in detail.

Bei dem Typ 1 Geber sind zwei Leitungen vorhanden, die mit der dünnen Schicht verbunden sind. Dies ist erforderlich, wenn der Geber isoliert in den Kühlkreis­ lauf montiert wird. (Montage 1).The Type 1 encoder has two lines that are connected to the thin layer. This is necessary if the encoder is mounted in the cooling circuit in isolation. (Montage 1 ).

Bei Typ 2 Geber reicht eine Leitung, da die Schicht auch mit dem an Masse lieg­ enden Motorblock kontaktiert ist. (Montage 2).In the case of type 2 sensors, one line is sufficient, since the layer is also in contact with the engine block connected to ground. (Montage 2 ).

Schaltung 1 bis 3 zeigen verschiedene Varianten der Signalverarbeitung.Circuit 1 to 3 show different variants of signal processing.
