Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen aus Flachrohren aufgebauten Wärmeübertrager, bei dem die Flachrohre an wenigstens einem, in ein anschlußraumbildendes Bauteil, z.B. ein Verteiler- und/oder ein Sammelrohr, mündenden Endabschnitt umgeformt sind.The invention relates to a constructed from flat tubes Heat exchanger in which the flat tubes at least one, in a connection space-forming component, e.g. a distributor and / or a header pipe, reshaped end portion are.
Aus Flachrohren aufgebaute Wärmeübertrager, bei denen die Flachrohre mit nicht umgeformtem Endabschnitt parallel in ein anschlußraumbildendes Bauteil, wie ein Sammel- und/oder ein Verteilerrohr, münden, werden beispielsweise als Kondensatoren und Verdampfer in Fahrzeugklimaanlagen verwendet. Unter der Bezeichnung Flachrohr-Wärmeübertrager sollen vorliegend auch Wärmeübertrager in Scheibenbauweise verstanden werden, bei denen rechteckförmige, langgestreckte, hohle Scheiben als "Flachrohre" verwendet werden, durch deren Inneres das Kältemittel der Klimaanlage hindurchgeführt wird. Bei diesen herkömmlichen Wärmeübertragern mit über ihre gesamte Länge geradlinig verlaufenden Flachrohren ist der Innendurchmesser des den Anschlußraum bildenden Bauteils durch die Breite der Flachrohre bestimmt. Mit größerer Flachrohrbreite ist somit ein größerer Innendurchmesser für dieses Bauteil erforderlich, so dass zu dessen Realisierung eine größere Wandstärke benötigt wird, wenn die Berstdruckfestigkeit gleich groß bleiben soll. Bei Verwendung von Rohren als anschlußraumbildende Bauteile tritt zudem die Schwierigkeit auf, daß mit wachsender Flachrohrbreite und damit wachsendem Durchmesser der anschlußraumbildenden Rohre deren Totvolumen ansteigt. In jedem Fall ist die Breite des anschlußraumbildenden Bauteils bei diesen herkömmlichen Wärmeübertragern größer zu wählen als diejenige der Flachrohre.Heat exchangers constructed from flat tubes, in which the Flat tubes with an unformed end section parallel in one Connection space-forming component, such as a collector and / or a Distribution pipe, open, are used, for example, as capacitors and evaporators used in vehicle air conditioners. Under the term flat tube heat exchanger should be present heat exchangers in disc design are also understood, where rectangular, elongated, hollow discs as "Flat tubes" are used, through the inside of which the refrigerant the air conditioner is passed through. With these conventional Heat exchangers with a straight line over their entire length running flat tubes is the inside diameter of the component forming the connection space by the width of the Flat tubes determined. So with a larger flat tube width a larger inner diameter is required for this component, so that to realize it a larger wall thickness is required if the bursting strength is the same should stay. When using pipes as connection space-forming Components also have the difficulty that with increasing flat tube width and thus increasing diameter of the connection space-forming pipes whose dead volume increases. In in any case is the width of the connection space-forming component to choose larger in these conventional heat exchangers than that of the flat tubes.

In der Offenlegungsschrift EP 0 659 500 A1 ist ein Wärmeübertrager offenbart, der aus mehreren, beabstandet übereinanderliegenden, U-förmig umgebogenen Flachrohren aufgebaut ist. Dabei sind die beiden Schenkel der U-förmigen Flachrohre gegenüber deren Verbindungsbereich um 90° tordiert, so dass sie beide in einer gemeinsamen Querebene liegen. Je ein freies Ende der Flachrohre ist an einen Verteilerkanal und das jeweils andere freie Ende an einen Sammelkanal angeschlossen, wobei Verteiler- und Sammelkanal auf derselben Wärmeübertragerseite angeordnet sind und das über den Verteilerkanal eingeleitete Wärmeübertragermedium U-förmig parallel durch die einzelnen Flachrohre zum Sammelkanal strömt.A heat exchanger is disclosed in EP 0 659 500 A1 disclosed, which consists of several, spaced one above the other, U-shaped bent flat tubes is constructed. The two legs of the U-shaped flat tubes are opposite the connection area twisted by 90 °, so that they both lie in a common transverse plane. One free each The end of the flat tubes is on a distribution channel and that in each case other free ends connected to a collecting channel, with distribution and collection duct on the same heat exchanger side are arranged and that introduced via the distribution channel Heat transfer medium U-shaped parallel through the individual flat tubes flows to the collecting duct.
In der Patentschrift US 3 416 600 ist ein Wärmeübertrager vom Serpentinentyp offenbart, bei dem ein Stapel serpentinenförmig gebogener Flachrohre vorgesehen ist, die in ihren Endabschnitten um 90° tordiert sind. Mit diesen tordierten Endabschnitten sind die Flachrohre in zugehörige Sammelrohre eingefügt, die hierzu mit umfangsseitig eingebrachten, in Rohrlängsrichtung verlaufenden und voneinander beabstandeten Längsschlitzen versehen sind. Zusätzlich können die Flachrohre in einem mittleren Bereich um 180° tordiert sein.US Pat. No. 3,416,600 describes a heat exchanger from Serpentine type disclosed, in which a stack of serpentine curved flat tubes is provided in its end portions are twisted by 90 °.

Der Erfindung liegt als technisches Problem die Bereitstellung eines Flachrohr-Wärmeübertragers der eingangs genannten Art zugrunde, der ein vergleichsweise geringes Totvolumen im Anschlußraum besitzt, bei gegebener Wandstärke des anschlußraumbildenden Bauteils eine hohe Berstdrucksicherheit aufweist, sich bei gegebener Flachrohrbreite mit vergleichsweise geringer Bautiefe fertigen läßt und bei Bedarf insbesondere als Kondensator für eine Klimaanlage verwendbar ist.The invention is a technical problem of providing a flat tube heat exchanger of the type mentioned Type based on a comparatively low dead volume in Has connection space, given the wall thickness of the connection space forming Component has a high burst pressure safety, for a given flat tube width with comparatively can be built to a shallow depth and in particular if required can be used as a condenser for air conditioning.
Die Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch die Bereitstellung eines Flachrohr-Wärmeübertragers mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Bei diesem Wärmeübertrager sind die Flachrohre in ihrem in den anschlußraumbildende Bauteil mündenden Endabschnitt auf eine gegenüber ihrem anschließenden Abschnitt geringere Quererstreckung um 90° tordiert. Dabei läßt sich ihr Durchtrittsquerschnitt auch im umgeformten Endabschnitt im wesentlichen konstant halten. Die geringere Quererstreckung des tordierten Flachrohrendabschnitts gegenüber dem anschließenden Flachrohrabschnitt macht es möglich, das anschlußraumbildende Bauteil, z.B. ein Sammel- bzw. Verteilerrohr, mit einer Bautiefe zu realisieren, die nur wenig größer als die verringerte Quererstreckung des Flachrohrendabschnitts zu sein braucht und dadurch kleiner als die Bautiefe der Flachrohre sein kann oder jedenfalls nicht größer als selbige zu sein braucht. Dabei können beide Endabschnitte jedes Flachrohrs in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise tordiert sein, während die Flachrohre im zwischenliegenden Abschnitt z.B. geradlinig mit ihrer gegenüber den Endabschnitten größeren Quererstreckung verlaufen können, die dann die Bautiefe der Flachrohre und damit eventuell auch des gesamten Wärmeübertragers bestimmt. Die erfindungsgemäß erzielbare geringe Bautiefe der anschlußraumbildenden Bauteile bei gegebener Flachrohrbreite hat den weiteren Vorteil, dass sich selbige zur Erzielung einer vorgegebenen Berstdrucksicherheit mit relativ geringer Wandstärke fertigen lassen und nur ein verhältnismäßig geringes Totvolumen besitzen. Außerdem läßt sich das durchströmte Wärmeübertragervolumen bei gegebener Wärme-übertragungsleistung vergleichsweise gering halten, was bei Bedarf eine Mengenreduzierung des durchströmenden Wärme-übertragungsfluides gegenüber konventionellen Flachrohr-Wärmeübertragern erlaubt.The invention solves this problem by providing it a flat tube heat exchanger with the features of the claim 1. With this heat exchanger, the flat tubes are in its end section opening into the connection space-forming component to a smaller one than its subsequent section Cross extension twisted by 90 °. It leaves their passage cross-section also in the formed end section keep essentially constant. The lower transverse extent of the twisted flat tube end section opposite the subsequent flat tube section makes it possible Connection space-forming component, e.g. a manifold, to realize with a construction depth that is little greater than the reduced transverse extent of the flat tube end section needs to be and therefore smaller than the overall depth the flat tubes can be or at least not bigger as the same needs to be. Both end sections can twisted each flat tube in the manner according to the invention be, while the flat tubes in the intermediate section e.g. rectilinear with their larger compared to the end sections Lateral extension can run, which is then the depth the flat tubes and possibly also the entire heat exchanger certainly. The low achievable according to the invention Construction depth of the connection space-forming components for a given Flat tube width has the further advantage that the same to achieve a predetermined burst pressure safety with relative Small wall thickness can be made and only a relative have low dead volume. In addition, the flow of heat transfer volume for a given heat transfer capacity keep what is comparatively low Requires a reduction in the volume of the heat transfer fluid flowing through compared to conventional flat tube heat exchangers allowed.
Zur Erzielung einer kompakten Bauweise auch in der Richtung, in welcher die Flachrohre nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet sind, sind die Flachrohrendabschnitte in einer Linie eng aneinanderliegend in einen gemeinsamen Längsschlitz des anschlußraumbildenden Bauteils eingefügt. Diese Maßnahme hat den weiteren Vorteil, daß das Einbringen eines durchgehenden Längsschlitzes im anschlußraumbildenden Bauteil fertigungstechnisch einfacher zu realisieren ist als das Einbringen einer entsprechenden Anzahl einzelner Schlitze.To achieve a compact design even in the direction in which the flat tubes are arranged side by side are, the flat tube end portions are close to each other in a line in a common longitudinal slot of the terminal space-forming component inserted. This measure has the further advantage that the introduction of a continuous Longitudinal slot in the component forming the connection space in terms of production technology is easier to implement than the introduction of one corresponding number of individual slots.
Beim nach Anspruch 2 weitergebildeten Flachrohr-Wärmeübertrager sind speziell eine oder mehrere Trennwände im anschlußraumbildenden Bauteil vorgesehen, die den Anschlußraum in mehrere Teilräume unterteilen. Diese Maßnahme kann dazu benutzt werden, das durch die Flachrohre geführte Kältemittel unter Umlenkung in einem jeweiligen seitlichen anschlußraumbildenden Bauteil sequentiell durch aufeinanderfolgende Abschnitte des Flachrohrstapels zu leiten. When further developed according to claim 2 flat tube heat exchanger are specially one or more partitions in the connection space Component provided that the terminal compartment divide into several parts. This measure can do this be used, the refrigerant passed through the flat tubes with deflection in a respective lateral connection space forming Component sequentially through successive sections of the flat tube stack.
Bei einem nach Anspruch 3 weitergebildeten Wärmeübertrager sind die Flachrohre um ihre Längsmittelachse oder um eine zu dieser parallelen Längsachse tordiert.In a further developed according to claim 3 heat exchanger are the flat tubes around their longitudinal central axis or around one this parallel longitudinal axis twisted.
Bei einem nach Anspruch 4 weitergebildeten Wärmeübertrager mit zwischen den Flachrohren eingebrachten Wellrippen ist vorgesehen, die Breite der Wellrippen größer zu wählen als diejenige der Flachrohre. Der dadurch entstehende Rippenüberstand erhöht den Wirkungsgrad der wärmeübertragenden Wellrippen und schützt die Flachrohre gegen Beschädigungen von außen.In a further developed according to claim 4 heat exchanger with corrugated fins inserted between the flat tubes provided to choose the width of the corrugated fins larger than that of the flat tubes. The resulting rib overhang increases the efficiency of the heat-transmitting corrugated fins and protects the flat tubes against external damage.
Bei einem nach Anspruch 5 weitergebildeten Wärmeübertrager sind die Flachrohre in fertigungstechnisch vorteilhafter Weise als extrudierte Rohre gefertigt.In a further developed according to claim 5 heat exchanger are the flat tubes in a technically advantageous manner manufactured as extruded tubes.
Bei einem nach Anspruch 6 weitergebildeten Wärmeübertrager ist die jeweilige Trennwand axial von einer Stirnseite her in das anschlußraumbildende Bauteil eingefügt und weist eine geeignete, mit den in das anschlußraumbildende Bauteil hineinragenden Flachrohrenden in Eingriff stehende Ausnehmung auf.In a further developed according to claim 6 heat exchanger is the respective partition axially from one end in inserted the connection space-forming component and has a suitable, with those protruding into the connection space-forming component Flat tube ends in engagement recess.

einen Rohr-/Rippenblock, der in üblicher Weise aus einem
Stapel voneinander beabstandeter Flachrohre 30 und einer
in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Flachrohren 30 eingebrachte
Wellrippenstruktur aus Wellrippen 31 besteht. Die Flachrohre
30 sind in herkömmlicher Weise in ihrem Inneren mit einem
oder mehreren Strömungskanälen versehen, durch die das Kältemittel
einer Klimaanlage durchgeleitet werden kann. Endseitig
münden die Flachrohre 30 in je einen von einem seitlichen Anschlussrohr
33, 34, d.h. Verteiler- bzw. Sammelrohr, gebildeten
Anschlußraum, von denen der eine als Verteilerkanal und
der andere als Sammelkanal fungiert. Mittels des Wärmeübertragers
kann ein Strömungsmedium, das durch die mit der
Wellrippenstruktur 31 versehenen Zwischenräume zwischen den
Flachrohren 30 hindurchgeleitet wird, in Wärmeübertragungsverbindung
mit einem durch die Flachrohre 30 hindurchgeleiteten
Strömungsmedium gebracht werden.The in Fig. 1 in a partial, schematic side view
heat exchanger shown is for example as
Condenser can be used in a vehicle air conditioning system. He includes
a tube / fin block, which in the usual way from a
Stack of spaced apart
Charakteristisch für den gezeigten Wärmeübertrager ist, daß
die Flachrohre 30 in ihren beiden Endabschnitten 30a gegenüber
ihrem zwischenliegenden Mittenabschnitt um einen Winkel
α von 90° um ihre Längsmittelachse tordiert sind.It is characteristic of the heat exchanger shown that
the
Der Flachrohrabstand T1 im Block entspricht der Flachrohrbreite
Q abzüglich der Flachrohrdicke. Mit anderen Worten
liegen die rechtwinklig tordierten Flachrohrenden 30a auf jeder
der beiden Anschlußseiten des Rohr-/Rippenblocks in einer
Linie sich berührend aneinander, die parallel zur Längsachse
32 zweier seitlicher Anschlußrohre 33, 34 verläuft. Jedes der
beiden Anschlußrohre 33, 34 besitzt einen an seinem Umfang
eingebrachten, durchgehenden Längsschlitz 35, in welchen die
zugehörigen, in einer Linie dicht nebeneinanderliegenden,
tordierten Flachrohrenden 30a abgedichtet eingefügt sind. The flat tube distance T1 in the block corresponds to the flat tube width
Q minus the flat tube thickness. In other words
the flat tube ends 30a twisted at right angles lie on each
the two connection sides of the tube / fin block in one
Line touching each other, parallel to the
Wenn die Flachrohre 30 z.B. bei Verwendung für einen Kondensator
gruppenweise sequentiell vom Kältemittel durchströmt
werden sollen, ist es wie gezeigt möglich, eine oder mehrere
Trennwände 36 in einem oder beiden Anschlußrohren 33, 34 vorzusehen.
Die Trennwände 36 liegen senkrecht zur Anschlußrohrlängsachse
32 und unterteilen den Anschlußraum des betreffenden
Anschlußrohres 33, 34 in mehrere Teilräume 37a, 37b. Das
in Fig. 1 geschnitten gezeigte, linke Anschlußrohr 33 weist
einen in einen ersten Teilraum 37a mündenden Kältemitteleinlaß
38 auf, so dass das dort eingeleitete Kältemittel, wie
durch die Strömungspfeile angedeutet, in die in diesen Teilraum
37a mündende Flachrohre eingespeist, von dort in das
rechte Anschlußrohr 34 transportiert, dort in eine anschließende
Gruppe von mit einem nächsten Teilraum 37b des linken
Anschlußrohres 33 verbundenen Flachrohren umgelenkt und durch
diese in den besagten nächsten Teilraum 37b geleitet wird.
Diese mäanderförmige Strömungsführung wird so oft wie erforderlich
wiederholt, bis das Kältemittel über einen z.B. ebenfalls
im erstgenannten Anschlußrohr 33 vorgesehenen Kältemittelauslaß
39 herausgeführt wird.If the
Die jeweilige Trennwand 36 kann im Übergangsbereich zwischen
zwei aneinandergrenzenden, tordierten Flachrohrenden 30a oder
aber, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, innerhalb des Endbereichs eines
Flachrohres 30b angeordnet sein, wenn die Flachrohre 30 als
Mehrkammer-Flachrohre ausgebildet sind. Die Trennwand 36
liegt dann zwischen den Wandungen zweier benachbarter Kammern
des Flachrohrs 30b, wobei wenigstens dieses Flachrohr 30b
endseitig so tordiert ist, daß jedes seiner Kammern auf beiden
Endseiten in gleicher Richtung, d.h. nach oben oder nach
unten, gebogen verläuft, so dass das im einen Anschlußrohr 33
in die oberen Kammern eingeleitete Kältemittel am anderen
Anschlußrohr 34 auch wieder aus den obenliegenden Kammern
austritt. Wie speziell aus Fig. 2 zu erkennen, weist die
Trennwand 36 einen Schlitz 36a auf, der den tordierten Endbereich
30a des entsprechenden Flachrohres 30 abgedichtet aufnimmt.
Die Trennwand 36 wird axial von einem Stirnende des
Anschlußrohres 33 her eingesetzt, wobei sie durch das Eingreifen
der Flachrohrenden 30a in ihren Schlitz 36a verdrehgesichert
geführt wird, bevor sie dann nach Erreichen der
Montagelage abgedichtet festgelegt wird, z.B. durch Dichtlöten.The
Fig. 3 zeigt ausschnittweise eine Längsschnittansicht durch
einen Rohr-/Rippenblock, wie er für den oben beschriebenen
Wärmeübertrager verwendbar ist. Charakteristisch ist bei diesem
Rohr-/Rippenblock, daß die Breite W der Wellrippen 40
größer gewählt ist als die Breite Q der als Mehrkammerrohre
realisierten Flachrohre 41. Dadurch wird ein Rippenüberstand
bereitgestellt, der den Wirkungsgrad der Wellrippen 40 hinsichtlich
ihrer Wärmeübertragungsfähigkeit erhöht und die
Flachrohre 41 gegen Beschädigungen von außen schützt. Das
Verhältnis Q/W kann beispielsweise 2/3 betragen.Fig. 3 shows a section of a longitudinal sectional view
a tube / fin block as described for the above
Heat exchanger can be used. It is characteristic of this
Pipe / fin block that the width W of the corrugated fins 40th
is chosen larger than the width Q of the multi-chamber tubes
realized
Ersichtlich lassen sich mit der rechtwinkligen Tordierung der Flachrohrendabschnitte für das Verteiler- und das Sammelrohr Rohre mit besonders geringer Bautiefe, d.h. geringem Durchmesser R verwenden. Dementsprechend lassen sich deren Totvolumina minimal halten, und es genügt eine relativ geringe Wandstärke zur Erzielung einer ausreichenden Berstdrucksicherheit. Dabei kann der Außendurchmesser R des Verteiler- und des Sammelrohrs kleiner als die Quererstreckung Q der Flachrohre gewählt werden.The right-angled twisting of the Flat tube end sections for the manifold and manifold Pipes with a particularly shallow depth, i.e. small diameter Use R. Accordingly, their dead volumes can be keep it to a minimum, and a relatively small one is sufficient Wall thickness to achieve sufficient burst pressure security. The outer diameter R of the distributor and the header pipe is smaller than the transverse extension Q of the flat tubes can be selected.
Es versteht sich, dass anstelle der gezeigten Rundrohre auch Verteiler- bzw. Sammelkästen mit beliebigem andersartigem Querschnitt als anschlußraumbildende Bauteile verwendbar sind, die ein- oder mehrstückig und mit gewölbtem oder ebenem, die Flachrohrenden aufnehmendem Boden gefertigt sein können. Die erforderlichen Rohrdurchbrüche können gefräst, gestanzt, lasergeschnitten oder durch Innenhochdruckumformen eingebracht und mit oder ohne Durchzüge realisiert sein. Die Flachrohre, die speziell auch Scheiben eines Wärmeübertragers in Scheibenbauweise sein können, sind beispielsweise einstükkig durch Extrudieren oder mittels Zusammenschweißen mehrerer Rohrteile oder durch Umformen und anschließendes Verschweißen eines Rohlings herstellbar.It goes without saying that instead of the round tubes shown Distribution or collection boxes with any other type Cross section can be used as connection space-forming components are one or more pieces and with curved or flat, the flat tube ends receiving the floor can. The required pipe openings can be milled, punched, laser cut or by hydroforming introduced and realized with or without swaths. The Flat tubes, which are also specially designed for heat exchangers can be in slice construction, for example, are in one piece by extrusion or by welding several Pipe parts or by forming and subsequent welding of a blank can be produced.
Neben dem gezeigten geradlinigen Verlauf können die Flachrohre in ihrem Bereich zwischen den tordierten Endabschnitten auch einen geschwungenen Verlauf besitzen. Des weiteren versteht sich, daß je nach Bedarf die Flachrohre auch nur an einem ihrer beiden Endabschnitte tordiert sein können und mit dem anderen Endabschnitt dann nicht zu einer geringeren Quererstreckung umgeformt in ein zugehöriges anschlußraumbildendes Bauteil münden. Das Tordieren der Flachrohrendabschnitte kann jeweils so erfolgen, daß sich der Durchtrittsquerschnitt der Flachrohre auch in diesem Bereich im wesentlichen konstant halten läßt, was für die meisten Anwendungsfälle bevorzugt ist.In addition to the straight line shown, the flat tubes in their area between the twisted end sections also have a curved course. Furthermore understands yourself that, depending on your needs, the flat tubes only on one their two end sections can be twisted and with the other end section then not to a lesser transverse extent transformed into an associated terminal space Open component. Twisting the flat tube end sections can be done in such a way that the passage cross-section the flat tubes are also essentially constant in this area can hold, which is preferred for most applications is.
Anstelle der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten, längsmittigen Tordierung können die Flachrohrendabschnitte auch außermittig, d.h. um eine zu ihrer Längsmittelachse parallel versetzte Achse, tordiert sein. Das Verteiler- und das Sammelrohr können dann gegenüber dem zwischenliegenden Rohr-/Rippenblock lateral versetzt angeordnet sein, wenn die Flachrohre dergestalt aufeinanderfolgend angeordnet sind, daß ihre exzentrisch tordierten Endabschnitte sämtlich auf einer Seite der Längsmittelebene des Rohr-/Rippenblocks liegen. Dies kann für bestimmte Einbausituationen vorteilhaft sein.Instead of the longitudinal center shown in Figs. 1 to 3 The flat tube end sections can also be twisted off-center, i.e. offset around a parallel to its longitudinal central axis Axis, be twisted. The manifold and manifold can then opposite the intermediate tube / fin block be laterally offset when the flat tubes of this type are arranged sequentially that their eccentric twisted end sections all on one side of the Longitudinal center plane of the tube / fin block. This can be for certain installation situations may be advantageous.
In allen oben erwähnten Beispielen können die Flachrohre vorteilhafterweise als extrudierte Rohre gefertigt sein. Dabei kann es außerdem von Vorteil sein, die Rohre vor ihrem endseitigen Tordieren bzw. Umbiegen mit einer Lot- und Flußmittelplattierung zu versehen. Dies erleichtert ein abgedichtetes Einfügen der Flachrohrenden in die Anschlußrohre mittels Dichtlöten.In all the examples mentioned above, the flat tubes advantageously be made as extruded tubes. there It may also be an advantage to have the pipes in front of your end twisting or bending with a solder and flux plating to provide. This facilitates a sealed one Insert the flat tube ends into the connecting tubes using Tight soldering.
