Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauschermodul, der durch Stapeln von, mit Durchbrüchen versehenen Folienkarten und anschließendes Verbinden der einzelnen Karten des Kartenstapels hergestellt ist.The invention relates to a heat exchanger module which is produced by stacking foil cards provided with openings and then connecting the individual cards of the card stack.

Unter Folienkarten sollen nachfolgend Karten aus grüner Keramik, aus Metall wie z.B. Legierungen aus Kupfer, aus Stahl, aus Aluminium oder aus Kunststoff und unter Verbinden Laminieren mit anschließendem Brennen, Löten, Schweißen, Kleben oder mechanisches Verbinden unter Zwischenlegen von Dichtungen verstanden werden.Cards made of green ceramic, metal such as e.g. Alloys made of copper, steel, aluminum or plastic and by joining laminating with subsequent firing, soldering, welding, gluing or mechanical joining are understood by interposing seals.

Wärmetauschermodule der genannten Art sind aus der DE-A-36 43 750 bekannt. Die keramischen Folienkarten, aus denen die bekannten Wärmetauschermodule hergestellt sind, weisen erste Ausnehmungen auf, die bei gestapelten Karten durchgehende Kanäle bilden. Um die ersten Ausnehmungen herum sind zweite Ausnehmungen so angeordnet, daß sich zwei der Ausnehmungen benachbarter Karten teilweise überlappen, wobei sich Kanäle ausbilden, die sich senkrecht zu den durchgehenden Kanälen erstrecken und diese umgeben. Nachteilig ist der große Strömungswiderstand in den Kanälen, die durch die zweiten Ausnehmungen gebildet werden. Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen.Heat exchanger modules of the type mentioned are known from DE-A-36 43 750. The ceramic film cards from which the known heat exchanger modules are made have first recesses which form continuous channels in stacked cards. Around the first recesses, second recesses are arranged such that two of the recesses of adjacent cards partially overlap, with channels being formed which extend perpendicularly to and surround the continuous channels. The large flow resistance in the channels, which are formed by the second recesses, is disadvantageous. The invention seeks to remedy this.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Wärmetauschermodul der eingangs beschriebenen Art gelöst, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß jede Folienkarte oder Gruppe von Folienkarten des Stapels gegenüber der vorhergehenden Folienkarte oder Gruppe von Folienkarten um eine gemeinsame Achse um einen Winkel α zwischen 0 und 30° verdreht angeordnet ist, wobei die Durchbrüche spiralförmige Kanäle ausbilden.The object is achieved by a heat exchanger module of the type described at the outset, which is characterized in that each film card or group of film cards of the stack is arranged rotated by an angle α between 0 and 30 ° about a common axis relative to the previous film card or group of film cards , wherein the openings form spiral channels.

Die Folienkarten können kreisförmig ausgebildet sein und konzentrisch zu ihrer Kontur Kreissegmente, insbesondere zwei symmetrisch zueinander angeordnete Kreissegmente als Durchbrüche aufweisen.The foil cards can be circular and have circular segments concentric with their contour, in particular two circular segments arranged symmetrically to one another as openings.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen in der Verminderung des Strömungswiderstandes zu sehen. Darüberhinaus kann der Modul aus einem Kartenmuster ohne Wenden der Karte aufgebaut werden. Derartige Wärmetauschermodule eignen sich aufgrund ihrer guten Anpassbarkeit auch an stark unterschiedliche Volumenströme für den Einsatz flüssig/flüssig, flüssig/gasförmigen und gasförmigen/gasförmigen Wärmetausch sowie für Kondensations- und Verdampfungsvorgänge selbst bei hohen Drücken und der Verwendung stark korrosiver Medien. Der Wärmetauschermodul findet Anwendung in Kraftfahrzeugen aller Art, Schiffen, Flugzeugen und Schienenfahrzeugen.The advantages achieved by the invention can be seen essentially in the reduction of the flow resistance. In addition, the module can be constructed from a card pattern without flipping the card. Because of their good adaptability, such heat exchanger modules are also suitable for use with widely differing volume flows for the use of liquid / liquid, liquid / gaseous and gaseous / gaseous heat exchange as well as for condensation and evaporation processes even at high pressures and the use of highly corrosive media. The heat exchanger module is used in all types of motor vehicles, ships, aircraft and rail vehicles.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of drawings which illustrate only one embodiment.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Wärmetauschermodul in räumlicher Darstellung, teilweise aufgeschnitten.Figure 1 shows a heat exchanger module in a spatial representation, partially cut away.

Die Figur 2 zeigt das Stapeln der den Wärmetauschermodul bildenden grünen Folienkarten in räumlicher Darstellung teilweise explodiert und aufgeschnitten.FIG. 2 shows the stacking of the green film cards forming the heat exchanger module, partially exploded and cut open in a spatial representation.

Der Wärmetauschermodul 1 ohne Anschlußhauben ist insbesondere aus grünen keramischen Folienkarten 2 hergestellt. Die Folienkarten 2 weisen kreissegmentartige Durchbrüche 3 auf, die symmetrisch zueinander und konzentrisch zur kreisförmigen Kontur der Folienkarte 2 angeordnet sind. Die Folienkarten 2 werden einzeln und um einen Winkel α, z.B. 20° gegenüber der vorhergehenden Karte übereinander gelegt, wobei sich spiralförmige (wendeltreppenartige) Kanäle 4 (Doppelhelix) bilden. Die einzelnen Karten 2 können auch zu Gruppen aus zwei und mehr Karten zusammengefaßt werden, die dann ihrerseits wie bei den einzelnen Karten beschrieben gestapelt werden. An der Treppenstruktur der Kanäle 4 erkennt man die einzelnen Karten 2 bzw. die Gruppen aus Karten, aus denen sich der Wärmetauschermodul 1 zusammensetzt. Die Folienkarten können auch in gewissen Grenzen eine beliebige Kontur besitzen, ebenso ihre Durchbrüche. Die Kontur der Karte 2 kann mit Ausnehmungen 5 versehen sein, die beim Stapeln der Karten auf der äußeren Oberfläche des Wärmetauschermoduls durchgehende Rinnen 6 bilden. Ferner kann die Karte 2 neben den segmentartigen Durchbrüchen 3 noch Ausnehmungen 7 aufweisen, die ebenfalls im Winkel α versetzt sind und dadurch im Modul 1 durchgehende Kanäle 8 bilden. Durch Variationen der Abmessungen der Durchbrüche und/oder des Drehwinkels α kann der Wärmetauschermodul sehr flexibel an unterschiedliche Aufgabenstellungen angepaßt werden. Es kann auch vorteilhaft sein, die Drehachse 9 außermittig festzulegen. Die einzelnen Folienkarten 2 werden durch keramischen Brand zu einem monolithischen Wärmetauschermodul oder durch Löten, Schweißen, Kleben oder mechanisches Verbinden, z.B. durch Zuganker unter Zwischenlegen von Dichtungen zwischen die einzelnen Karten zu einem Wärmetauschermodul verbunden. Die Karten 2 mit den Durchbrüchen 3 können durch Gießen, Sägen, Fräsen, Drehen, Tiefziehen, Prägen, Lasern, Stanzen oder Flüssigkeitsstrahlschneiden hergestellt werden.The heat exchanger module 1 without connection hoods is made in particular from green ceramic foil cards 2. The film cards 2 have circular segment-like openings 3, which are arranged symmetrically to one another and concentrically to the circular contour of the film card 2. The foil cards 2 are placed one above the other and at an angle α, for example 20 ° above the previous card, with spiral (spiral staircase) channels 4 (double helix) being formed. The individual cards 2 can also be combined into groups of two or more cards, which in turn are then stacked as described for the individual cards. At the The staircase structure of the channels 4 shows the individual cards 2 or the groups of cards from which the heat exchanger module 1 is composed. The foil cards can also have any contour within certain limits, as can their openings. The contour of the card 2 can be provided with recesses 5 which form continuous channels 6 when the cards are stacked on the outer surface of the heat exchanger module. Furthermore, in addition to the segment-like openings 3, the card 2 can also have recesses 7 which are likewise offset at an angle α and thereby form continuous channels 8 in the module 1. By varying the dimensions of the openings and / or the angle of rotation α, the heat exchanger module can be adapted very flexibly to different tasks. It can also be advantageous to set the axis of rotation 9 off-center. The individual foil cards 2 are connected by ceramic firing to form a monolithic heat exchanger module or by soldering, welding, gluing or mechanical connection, for example by tie rods with the interposition of seals between the individual cards to form a heat exchanger module. The cards 2 with the openings 3 can be produced by casting, sawing, milling, turning, deep drawing, embossing, lasering, punching or liquid jet cutting.
