Durch die platinenartig gestalteten Ebenen sind ohne fertigungstechnisch aufwendige Maßnahmen, z. B. in Form von Lamellen, in Ansatz bringen zu müssen, kostengünstig große Wärmetauschflächen erzeugt, durch deren parallele Anordnung über einander zugleich eine zielgerichtete Kälteleistung bei geringen Raumbedarf ermöglicht ist. Darüber hinaus eröffnen die platinenartig ausgebildeten Ebenen die Möglichkeit, zur Steigerung der Kälteleistung des Verdampfers mit einfachen fertigungstechnischen Maßnahmen die Anordnungsdichte der Kältemittelkanalanordnung zur steigern.Due to the platinum-like levels are elaborate without manufacturing technology Measures, eg. B. in the form of slats to bring in approach, cost produced large heat exchange surfaces, by their parallel arrangement over each other At the same time a targeted cooling capacity is possible with low space requirements. In addition, the platinum-like levels open up the opportunity to increase the cooling capacity of the evaporator with simple production engineering measures to increase the arrangement density of the refrigerant channel arrangement.

Nach der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Ebenen durch Abwinklung einer einstückigen Platine gebildet sind, in deren abgewinkelten Zustand die Ebenen sich zumindest annähernd parallel gegenüberliegen und mit der Kältemittelkanalanordnung versehen sind.According to the invention, it is provided that the planes are formed by bending an integral board, in whose angled State the planes are at least approximately parallel and are provided with the refrigerant channel arrangement.

Ein derartiger Verdampfer ist nicht nur fertigungstechnisch besonders einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar sondern bietet durch seinen U-förmigen Querschnitt eine hohe Eigensteifigkeit, so daß das Handling des Verdampfers in der Fertigung deutlich erleichtert ist.Such an evaporator is not only production technology particularly simple and inexpensive producible but offers by its U-shaped cross section a high inherent rigidity, so that the handling of the evaporator in production significantly easier is.

Fertigungstechnisch besonders einfach abänderbar ist das Kanalbild des Verdampfers und somit besonders zielgerichtet anpaßbar an dessen bedarfsgemäße Kälteleistung, wenn nach einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, das die Platine mit der darauf angeordneten Kältemittelkanalanordung im Roll-Bond- oder mit Z-Bond-Verfahren erzeugt ist.Manufacturing technology particularly easy to change the channel image of the evaporator and thus particularly purposefully adaptable to its required cooling capacity, when according to a next preferred embodiment of the subject invention is provided, which is the board with the refrigerant channel arrangement arranged thereon produced in the roll bond or Z-Bond method.

Ein besonders kostengünstiger Aufbau für einen Verdampfer ergibt sich, wenn nach einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Kältemittelkanalanordnung als eine in Windungen geformte Rohleitung ausgeführt ist, welche an den Ebenen in wärmeleitenden Kontakt festgesetzt ist.A particularly cost-effective design for an evaporator results when after a next preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention is provided, in that the refrigerant channel arrangement is designed as a coiled tubing is, which is set at the levels in thermally conductive contact.

Darüber hinaus ermöglicht eine derartige Ausführung eines Verdampfers eine gezielte Materialkombination zwischen der das Kältemittel führenden Rohrleitung und den die Wärmetauschflächen darstellenden Ebenen, wodurch der Wärmeübergang zwischen beiden Elementen auf einfache Weise optimierbar ist.In addition, such an embodiment of an evaporator allows a targeted Material combination between the pipeline carrying the refrigerant and the Heat exchange surfaces representing levels, whereby the heat transfer between the two Elements can be optimized in a simple manner.

Besonders zweckmäßig angeordnet ist die Kältemittelkanalanordnung am Verdampfer, wenn nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Kältemittelkanalanordnung an den einander zugewandten Flächen der Ebenen vorgesehen ist. Particularly expediently arranged is the refrigerant channel arrangement on the evaporator, when according to a next advantageous embodiment of the subject invention is provided that the refrigerant channel arrangement on the mutually facing surfaces the levels is provided.

Ferner ergibt sich hierdurch die Möglichkeit zwischen die Ebenen zum äußerst intensiven wärmeleitenden Kontakt zusätzliche Elemente zur weiteren Vergrößerung der Wärmetauschflächen des Verdampfers einzubringen, ohne dabei den Raumbedarf zur Unterbringung des Verdampfers vergrößern zu müssen.Furthermore, this results in the possibility between the levels to extremely intense thermally conductive contact additional elements for further enlargement of the heat exchange surfaces bring the evaporator, without taking up the space needed to accommodate to increase the evaporator.

Besonders einfach herstellbar ist ein zur Vergrößerung der Wärmetauschflächen dienendes zusätzliches Element, wenn gemäß einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß zwischen den parallel übereinander angeordneten Ebenen ein in wärmeleitenden Kontakt mit diesen stehendes Wellenprofil angeordnet ist.Particularly easy to produce is one serving to increase the heat exchange surfaces additional element, if according to a next advantageous embodiment of the Object of the invention is provided that between the parallel arranged one above the other Layers arranged in a thermally conductive contact with these standing wave profile is.

Hierdurch ist an den Wärmetauschflächen eine Oberflächenvergrößerung bezweckt, welche sich einerseits fertigungstechnisch besonders günstig bei der Herstellung des Verdampfers erzeugen läßt und welche ohne zusätzliche Maßnahmen durch deren unmittelbare Anbindung an die Wärmetauschflächen im besonders intensiven wärmeleitenden Kontakt mit den Wärmetauschflächen steht. Ferner sind durch eine derartige Lösung durch Zusatzmaßnahmen in intensiven wärmeleitenden Kontakt bringbare zusätzliche Elemente zur Vergrößerung der Wärmetauschfläche am Verdampfer vermieden.As a result, a surface enlargement is aimed at the heat exchange surfaces, which on the one hand production technology particularly favorable in the production of the evaporator can produce and which without additional measures by their immediate Connection to the heat exchange surfaces in the particularly intense heat-conducting Contact with the heat exchange surfaces is. Furthermore, by such a solution by additional measures in intensive thermally conductive contact can be brought additional Elements to increase the heat exchange surface on the evaporator avoided.

Eine besonders intensive Verwirbelung der die Wärmetauschflächen umströmenden Luft und damit eine gute Wärmeübertragung von den Wärmetauschflächen auf diese Luft ergibt sich, wenn gemäß einer letzten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Flächenelemente wechselweise aus den Ebenen herausgestellt angeordnet sind und sowohl in den Zwischenraum zwischen die beiden Ebenen als auch davon abgewandt nach außen gerichtet sind.A particularly intensive turbulence of the air flowing around the heat exchange surfaces and thus gives good heat transfer from the heat exchange surfaces to this air when, according to a last preferred embodiment of the subject the invention is provided that the surface elements alternately from the planes are exposed and placed both in the space between the two Plains as well as facing away from it are directed outwards.

Within the space 45 are wave profile sections 46 and 47 are provided, of which both wave profile sections 46 and 47 on the refrigerant channel arrangement 43 of the higher level 41 and on the refrigerant channel assembly 43 of the lower level 41 lie in thermally conductive contact. The wave profile sections 46 and 47 are to increase the turbulence of forcibly in the Interspace 45 promoted cooling air offset from each other so arranged that the Wave troughs and troughs of the conveyed in the arrow direction cooling air arranged strip-like Wave profile sections opposite to each other (see Fig. 7).

In Fig. 9 und Fig. 10 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Verdampfers 50 dargestellt, welcher aus zwei in parallelen Abstand übereinander angeordneten Ebenen 51 aus gut wärmeleitenden Material wie beispielsweise Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung gebildet ist. Die Ebenen 51 sind ihren aneinander zugewandten Innenseiten 52 je mit einer Kältemittelkanalanordnung 53 in Form einer meanderartig geformten Rohrleitung aus gut wärmeleitendem Material wie beispielsweise Kupfer versehen, wobei die Kältemittelkanalanordnungen 53 durch ein Rohrleitungsverbindungsstück 54 zu einer durchgehend verlaufenden Kältemittelführung für den Verdampfer 50 verbunden sind. Dieser ist an seinen beiden Ebenen 51 mit zungenartig ausgeführten, aus der Fläche der Ebenen 51 herausgestellt angeordneten Lappen 55 versehen, welche zwischen den meanderartig angelegten Rohrabschnitten der Kältemittelkanalanordnung vorgesehen und ähnlich einer Matrix angeordnet sind, deren Spalten im wesentlichen senkrecht zu den Rohrleitungsabschnitten der Kältemittelkanalanordnungen 53 verlaufen. Von den Spalten der Matrix sind die unmittelbar benachbarten höhenversetzt zueinander angeordnet, wobei die Lappen 55 innerhalb der um den Höhenversatz zurückgesetzten Spalten mit ihren freien Ende in einen durch den Abstand der Ebenen 51 gebildeten Zwischenraum 56 ragen, während die in den verbleibenden Spalten der Matrix vorgesehen Lappen 55 mit ihren freien Ende vom Zwischenraum 56 weggerichtet sind. In den Zwischenraum 56 wird zur Erzielung eines günstigeren Wärmeübergangs anhand eines Ventilators zwangsweise Kühlluft gefördert, welche in Folge der in unterschiedlicher Richtung herausgestellten Lappen 55 zusätzlich verwirbelt wird, so daß sich die Turbulenz der zwangsweise in den Zwischenraum geförderten Kühlluft erhöht und auf diese Weise die Wärmeübertragung zusätzlich verbessert ist.FIGS. 9 and 10 show a further embodiment of an evaporator 50, which consists of two in parallel spaced superimposed planes 51 of good thermally conductive material such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy is formed. The levels 51 are each facing their inner sides 52 each with a Refrigerant channel assembly 53 in the form of a meandering shaped pipeline good heat conducting material such as copper, wherein the refrigerant channel arrangements 53 through a pipe connector 54 to a continuous extending refrigerant guide for the evaporator 50 are connected. This is at its two levels 51 with tongue-like running, out of the plane of the planes 51 exposed lobes 55 provided which are between the meander-like applied pipe sections of the refrigerant passage arrangement and similar to one Matrix are arranged, whose columns are substantially perpendicular to the pipe sections of the refrigerant channel arrangements 53 run. From the columns of the matrix are the immediately adjacent height offset from each other, with the lobes 55 within the recessed by the height offset columns with their free end in a gap formed by the spacing of the planes 51 project 56, while provided in the remaining columns of the matrix lobes 55 with their free end directed away from the intermediate space 56. In the space 56 is to achieve a promoted more favorable heat transfer using a fan forcibly cooling air, which in addition due to the lobes 55 exposed in different directions is swirled, so that the turbulence of the forced into the space promoted cooling air increases and in this way the heat transfer in addition is improved.

Das sich aufgrund des Reifansatzes an den Verdampfern während der Abtauzeit ergebende Schmelzwasser soll anhand eines Drainagesystems, welches in die Ebenen eingebracht sein soll abgeführt werden, wodurch die Gefahr, daß das Abtauwasser erneut an den Ebenen der Verdampfer festfriert deutlich minimiert ist. Ein mit einem Drainagesystem in seinen Ebenen versehener Verdampfer läßt sich, ohne die Abtaufunktion zu beeinträchtigen, auch in horizontaler Einbaulage verwenden. Für den Fall, daß an den Ebenen auf ein Drainagesystem verzichtet werden soll, ist es vorteilhaft, die Verdampfer mit ihren Ebenen in einer vertikalen Einbaulage zu verwenden, um stets sicherzustellen, daß das während der Abtauphase anfallende Schmelzwasser rasch von den Ebenen ablaufen kann und somit nicht die Gefahr besteht, daß dieses erneut an den Ebenen der Verdampfer festfriert.This is due to the frost accumulation on the evaporators during defrosting Meltwater should be introduced by means of a drainage system, which enters the levels should be removed, thereby increasing the risk that the defrost water again At the levels of the evaporator freeze is significantly minimized. One with a drainage system in its levels provided evaporator can be, without the Abtaufunktion to also use in horizontal mounting position. In the event that to the Layers should be dispensed with a drainage system, it is beneficial to the evaporator with their levels in a vertical mounting position to always ensure that the meltwater accumulating during the defrosting phase run off the levels rapidly and thus there is no risk of it being re - used at the levels of Freeze evaporator.
