Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Luftkühler zum Erzeugen eines Kühlluftstromes nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an air cooler for generating a Cooling air flow according to the preamble of claim 1.

Luftkühler dieser Art sind bekannt und weisen im Regelfall in kreisförmigen Ausnehmungen in einer Gehäusewandung ein Axial- oder Radialgebläse oder mehrere derartige Gebläse auf, welche durch Schutzgitteranordnungen mit im Regelfall geringer Luftleitwirkung abgedeckt sind.Air coolers of this type are known and generally have in circular recesses in a housing wall Axial or radial fans or several such fans on, which by means of protective grille arrangements as a rule low air conduction are covered.

Die FR-A-1057681 beschreibt einen Luftkühler, dessen Gehäuse eine vertikale Zwischenwand mit einer Öffnung und einem in dieser Öffnung angeordneten Gebläse aufweist. Die Luft kann wahlweise durch zwei Öffnungen angesaugt werden, von denen eine in der horizontal verlaufenden oberen Gehäusewand und die andere in der vertikal verlaufenden Rückwand des Gehäuses ausgebildet ist. Während das Gebläse nahe des Gehäusebodens angeordnet ist, befinden sich sowohl beide Lufteinlaßöffnungen als auch der Luftauslaß, der in der vertikalen vorderen Gehäusewand vorgesehen ist, nahe der oberen Gehäusewand. In der zustromseitigen Gehäusekammer sind Wärmetauscherröhren vorgesehen, die sich in einer schräg zur Zwischenwand verlaufenen Ebene erstrecken.The FR-A-1057681 describes an air cooler whose housing a vertical partition with an opening and an in has blower arranged in this opening. The air can optionally sucked in through two openings, one of which one in the horizontal upper housing wall and the other in the vertical rear wall of the housing is trained. While the blower is near the bottom of the case is arranged, there are both air inlet openings as well as the air outlet in the vertical front Housing wall is provided near the upper housing wall. In the upstream housing chamber are heat exchanger tubes provided, which run obliquely to the partition Extend level.

Aus der FR-A-2145735 ist ein Luftkühler bekannt, der ähnlich wie der in der FR-A-1057681 beschriebene Luftkühler aufgebaut ist. Die Trennwand endet hier jedoch vor der Gehäusewand, so daß eine Verbindungsöffnung zwischen den durch die Trennwand voneinander getrennten Gehäusekammern entsteht. In dieser Öffnung ist das Gebläse angeordnet. Folglich strömt auch hier sowohl die angesaugte als auch die ausgestoßene Luft innerhalb des Gehäuses im wesentlichen parallel zur Trennwand und zu der unter einem spitzen Winkel schräg zur Trennwand verlaufenden Anordnung von Wärmetauscherröhren.From FR-A-2145735 an air cooler is known which is similar constructed like the air cooler described in FR-A-1057681 is. The partition ends here in front of the housing wall, however that a connection opening between those through the partition separate housing chambers are created. In this The blower is arranged in the opening. Hence flows here too both the sucked in and the expelled air inside of the housing substantially parallel to the partition and to the one that runs at an acute angle to the partition Arrangement of heat exchanger tubes.

Nachteilig ist bei den bekannten Luftkühlern, daß die Wurfweite des Kaltluftstroms sowie die Verteilungsgleichmäßigkeit insbesondere für spezielle Anwendungszwecke zu wünschen übrig läßt.A disadvantage of the known air coolers is that the throw range of the cold air flow and the distribution uniformity especially for special applications leaves.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Luftkühler der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der die Erzeugung eines weitreichenden Kühlluftstrom wählbarer Querschnittsform und - bezogen auf Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und Austrittsrichtung - homogenen Strömungsprofils ermöglicht.The object of the invention is therefore an air cooler of the beginning to create the type mentioned, the generation of a Extensive cooling air flow of selectable cross-sectional shape and - related to flow velocity and exit direction - Homogeneous flow profile enables.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe nach der Erfindung durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale. This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing part of claim 1 specified features.

Durch die Teilung des Gehäuses und die damit erhaltene Ausbildung einer separaten Druckkammer wird erreicht, daß sich die im Bereich des Gebläses bzw. der Gebläse auftretenden inhomogenen Druck- und/oder Strömungsverhältnisse in der Druckkammer abbauen bzw. beruhigen können. Als Folge davon stellt sich in der Druckkammer ein im wesentlichen konstanter Staudruck ein, wodurch auch über der gesamten druckraumseitigen Fläche der Luftleitgitteranordnung weitgehend konstante Druckverhältnisse vorliegen, die zu einer in Bezug auf die Richtungs- und Geschwindigkeitsverteilung homogenen Austrittsströmung hinter der Luftleitgitteranordnung führen. Der erfindungsgemäße Luftkühler weist somit einen vorteilhaft gerichteten und weitreichenden Kühlluftstrom wählbarer Querschnittsform auf.Due to the division of the housing and the training received with it A separate pressure chamber ensures that those occurring in the area of the blower or blowers inhomogeneous pressure and / or flow conditions in the Dismantle or calm the pressure chamber. As a consequence of this is a substantially constant in the pressure chamber Back pressure, which also over the entire pressure chamber side Surface of the air grille arrangement largely constant Pressure ratios exist that relate to one homogeneous on the direction and speed distribution Guide the outlet flow behind the air baffle arrangement. The air cooler according to the invention thus has an advantageous directional and far-reaching cooling air flow selectable Cross-sectional shape.

Eine besondere günstige, zu einer hohen Variabilität in den Einsatzmöglichkeiten führende Ausführungsform der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß der die Druckkammer bildende Teil des Gehäuses als separater, in unterschiedlicher Weise mit Luftleitgittern bestückbarer Teil ausgebildet ist. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die jeweils geforderten Ausströmcharakteristiken des Luftkühlers den jeweiligen Forderungen und praktischen Gegebenheiten problemfrei anpassen.A particularly favorable, with a high variability in the Possible applications leading embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the one forming the pressure chamber Part of the housing as a separate, in different ways is designed to be equipped with air guide grids. On in this way, the required discharge characteristics can be obtained of the air cooler to the respective requirements and practical conditions adapt easily.

Obgleich die Luftleitgitterelemente im allgemeinen eine weitgehend beliebige Form aufweisen können, sind in der Praxis rechteckige Luftleitgitterelemente bevorzugt, die sich über die gesamte Breite der Vorder- und/oder Rückwand erstrecken können.Although the air baffle elements are generally largely can have any shape are in practice rectangular air baffle elements preferred, which over extend the entire width of the front and / or rear wall can.

Da die Gesamtgröße der Luftaustrittsfläche der Luftleitgitterelemente frei wählbar ist und insbesondere nicht der Luftansaugfläche des Gebläses entsprechen muß, kann durch das Vorsehen eines Luftauslasses mit einer Gesamt-Luftaustrittsfläche kleiner als der Luftansaugfläche des Gebläses eine Steigerung der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit am Luftauslaß erreicht werden. Because the total size of the air outlet area of the air grille elements is freely selectable and especially not the air intake area of the blower can, by Providing an air outlet with a total air outlet area smaller than the air intake area of the blower one Raised the flow velocity at the air outlet will.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden beispielsweise anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben; in dieser zeigt:

Fig. 2
eine schematische, teilweise aufgebrochene Darstellung des Luftkühlers aus Figur 1, gesehen in Richtung des Pfeiles X.
The invention is described below, for example with reference to the drawing; in this shows:
Fig. 1
is a schematic view of an air cooler according to the invention, and
Fig. 2
is a schematic, partially broken illustration of the air cooler from Figure 1, seen in the direction of arrow X.

Nach Figur 1 besteht ein Luftkühler 10 aus einem im Längsschnitt rechteckigen Gehäuse 12, das eine Lufteintrittsöffnungen 14 aufweist, über die Außenluft, wie durch Pfeile angedeutet, im wesentlichen über die gesamte Öffnungsfläche verteilt in das Gehäuse 12 gelangen kann.According to Figure 1, an air cooler 10 consists of a longitudinal section rectangular housing 12, which has an air inlet opening 14, via the outside air, as by arrows indicated, essentially over the entire opening area distributed can get into the housing 12.

Im Gehäuse 12 ist eine Kühlrohranordnung 18 vorgesehen, die aus einem mehrfach von einer Stirnwand 22 des Gehäuses 12 zur anderen Stirnwand 24 geführten Kühlrohr 20 besteht und dessen Rohranfang 26 bzw. Rohrende 28 durch die Stirnwände 22 bzw. 24 des Gehäuses 12 herausgeführt und dort an einen eine Kühlmittelquelle enthaltenden Kühlmittelkreislauf koppelbar sind.A cooling tube arrangement 18 is provided in the housing 12 from a multiple of an end wall 22 of the housing 12 to the other end wall 24 guided cooling tube 20 and whose pipe start 26 or pipe end 28 through the end walls 22 or 24 of the housing 12 led out and there to one a coolant circuit containing a coolant source can be coupled.

Erfindungsgemäß erstreckt sich oberhalb der Kühlrohranordnung 18 im wesentlichen parallel zur Lufteintrittsöffnung 14 eine Zwischenwand 30 durch das Gehäuse 12, die in ihrer Mitte eine kreisscheibenförmige Öffnung 32 besitzt, in der über Streben 34 das Gehäuse 36 eines Elektromotors 38 eines Gebläses 40 gehaltert ist. Das Gebläse 40 besitzt eine Lüfterflügelanordnung 42, deren Durchmesser in etwa dem Durchmesser der Öffnung 32 der Zwischenwand 30 entspricht.According to the invention extends above the cooling tube arrangement 18 essentially parallel to the air inlet opening 14 an intermediate wall 30 through the housing 12 which in its Center has a circular disc-shaped opening 32 in which Via struts 34, the housing 36 of an electric motor 38 Blower 40 is supported. The blower 40 has one Fan blade assembly 42, the diameter of which approximately Corresponds to the diameter of the opening 32 of the intermediate wall 30.

Oberhalb der Zwischenwand 30, umschlossen von den Stirnwänden 22, 24, den Vorder- und Rückwänden 47, 48 und der Deckenwand 44, befindet sich eine Druckkammer 46.Above the intermediate wall 30, enclosed by the end walls 22, 24, the front and rear walls 47, 48 and the Top wall 44, there is a pressure chamber 46.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Vorderwand 47 ist im Bereich des Druckraumes 46 mit einem Luftleitgitterelement 50 versehen, das quadratische, in Gitterform angeordnete Einzelöffnungen 52 aufweist, die eine vorgebbare Tiefenerstreckung aufweisen und dadurch eine ausgeprägt gerichtete, weitreichende Luftströmung erzeugen. Das Luftleitgitterelement 50 erstreckt sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite der Vorderwand 47 und über einen Teil der Höhe des Druckraumes 46.The front wall 47 shown in Figure 1 is in the area of Pressure chamber 46 provided with an air guiding element 50, the square, lattice-shaped individual openings 52 which have a predeterminable depth extent and therefore a well-directed, far-reaching air flow produce. The air grille element 50 extends essentially over the entire width of the front wall 47 and over part of the height of the pressure chamber 46.

Je nach Einsatzzweck des Luftkühlers 10 kann ein entsprechendes Luftleitgitterelement 50' an der Rückwand 48 des Gehäuses 12 vorgesehen sein, wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist.Depending on the intended use of the air cooler 10, a corresponding one Air baffle element 50 'on the rear wall 48 of the housing 12 can be provided, as shown in Figure 2.

Ferner können die gegenüberliegend angeordneten Luftleitgitterelemente 50, 50' unterschiedliche Form bzw. Größe aufweisen, und es ist auch möglich, alternativ oder zusätzlich ein Luftauslaßgitter in die Deckenwand 44 des Gehäuses 12 zu integrieren.Furthermore, the air grille elements arranged opposite one another 50, 50 'have different shapes or sizes, and it is also possible to alternatively or additionally Air outlet grille in the top wall 44 of the housing 12 integrate.

Die zur Aufnahme der Luftleitgitteranordnungen bestimmten Ausnehmungen in den Druckkammerwandungen können - falls nur eine einseitige Ausblasrichtung gefordert wird - mit geeigneten Abdeckelementen verschlossen werden.The intended for receiving the air grille arrangements Recesses in the pressure chamber walls can - if only a one-sided discharge direction is required - with suitable ones Cover elements are closed.

Zweckmäßigerweise kann die Druckkammer, die oberhalb der Zwischenwand 30 gelegen ist, als separates Gehäuseteil ausgebildet und insgesamt abnehmbar gestaltet werden, so daß Gehäuseteile mit unterschiedlichen Luftleitgitteranordnungen vormontiert vorgesehen und je nach Bedarfsfall verwendet werden können.Conveniently, the pressure chamber, which is above the partition 30 is located as a separate housing part and be made removable overall, so that housing parts pre-assembled with different air grille arrangements provided and used as needed can.

Die Ausgestaltung des Druckkammergehäuseteils als separates Gehäuseteil hat auch noch den Vorteil, daß das Gebläse (40) für eventuelle Wartungsarbeiten einfach zugänglich ist.The configuration of the pressure chamber housing part as a separate one Housing part also has the advantage that the blower (40) is easily accessible for any maintenance work.

Je nach Bedarf und gewünschter Leistung können auch weitere, in den Figuren 1 und 2 nicht dargestellte Gebläse in der Zwischenwand (30) des Luftkühlers (10) vorgesehen sein.Depending on the needs and desired performance, other, in the figures 1 and 2 blower not shown in the Partition wall (30) of the air cooler (10) can be provided.

Im Betrieb wird die Kühlrohranordnung 20 von einem Kühlmittel durchströmt, wobei die vom Gebläse 40 angesaugte Luft aufgrund des beim Durchströmen der Kühlrohranordnung 18 auftretenden Wärmeaustausches gekühlt wird und in die Druckkammer 46 gelangt.In operation, the cooling tube arrangement 20 is cooled by a coolant flows through, the air sucked in by the blower 40 due to the flow through the cooling tube arrangement 18 occurring heat exchange is cooled and in the Pressure chamber 46 arrives.

Beim Durchströmen der Öffnung 32 in der Zwischenwand 30 umströmt die gekühlte Luft den Elektromotor 38 und trägt dabei in erwünschter Weise zur Kühlung dieses Elektromotors 38 und damit zu dessen Lebensdauererhöhung bei.When flowing through the opening 32 in the intermediate wall 30 the cooled air carries the electric motor 38 and thereby desirably for cooling this electric motor 38 and thereby contributing to the increase in its service life.

Im Druckraum 46 erfährt der über die Öffnung 32 eintretende Kaltluftstrom eine Beruhigung, und es bildet sich in diesem Druckraum 46 ein gewisser Staudruck aus. Damit liegt an den den Luftauslaßbereich bestimmenden Luftleitgitterelementen 50, 51 ein im wesentlichen homogener Kaltluft-Vordruck an, der zu einer gleichmäßigen Beaufschlagung dieser Luftleitgitterelnmente über deren gesamte Fläche führt und zur Folge hat, daß austrittsseitig ein gleichgerichteter, homogener Kühlluftstrom erhalten wird, der ausgeprägt gerichtet ist und zu überraschend großen Kühlluft-Wurfweiten führt.In the pressure chamber 46, the person entering via the opening 32 is found Cold air flow has a calming effect, and it forms in this Pressure space 46 a certain dynamic pressure. So that's up to the air grille elements determining the air outlet area 50, 51 an essentially homogeneous cold air form, to apply these air guiding elements evenly leads over their entire surface and results has on the outlet side a rectified, homogeneous Cooling air flow is obtained, which is strongly directed and leads to surprisingly large cooling air throws.

Durch Verwendung geeignet angepaßter Luftleitgitterelemente können Kühlluftströme von jeweils gewünschtem Querschnitt und entsprechender Kühlluft-Wurfweite erzeugt werden, wobei insbesondere durch Auswahl und Anordnung der Luftleitgitterelemente sowie deren Dimensionierung unter Beibehaltung des sonstigen Grundaufbaus des Luftkühlers einer Vielzahl von in der Praxis auftretenden Forderungen optimal Rechnung getragen werden kann. By using suitably adapted air grille elements can cool air flows of the desired cross-section and corresponding cooling air throw are generated, wherein in particular through the selection and arrangement of the air grille elements as well as their dimensioning while maintaining the other basic structure of the air cooler a variety of in practical requirements are optimally taken into account can be.
