Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Wärmeübertragers nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs. Bei den bekannten Primärwärmeübertragern für brennstoffbeheizte Wassererhitzer sind die Lamellen mit den wasserführenden Rohren verlötet, wobei es zur Minimierung des Lötspaltes auch bekannt ist, die Rohre nach dem Fügen der Lamellen durch Hindurchschieben eines rotierend angetriebenen Werkzeugs aufzuweiten. Die Lötverbindung sichert einen einwandfreien Wärmeübergang von den Lamellen auf die Rohre, wodurch auch eine ausreichende Kühlung der Lamellen durch das durchfließende Wasser und der Festsitz der Lamellen auf den Rohren über die Lebensdauer des Wärmeübertragers gewährleistet ist. Mit Rücksicht darauf, daß Primärwärmeübertrager hohen Verbrennungsgastemperaturen von beispielsweise 1300° C ausgesetzt sind und daher bei diesen auf eine ausreichende Kühlung der Lamellen besonders zu achten ist, hat man bisher eine gelötete Ausführung der Primärwärmeübertrager als unumgänglich erachtet. The invention is based on a method of manufacture a heat exchanger according to the preamble of the main claim. In the known primary heat exchangers for fuel-heated water heaters are the fins with the water pipes are soldered, taking it to minimize the soldering gap is also known, the tubes after joining of the slats by sliding one rotating driven tool to expand. The solder joint ensures perfect heat transfer from the slats on the pipes, which also ensures adequate cooling of the Slats through the flowing water and the tight fit of the fins on the pipes over the life of the Heat exchanger is guaranteed. With regard to that primary heat exchangers have high combustion gas temperatures of, for example, 1300 ° C and therefore exposed to this on adequate cooling of the slats in particular to pay attention to, you have so far a soldered version of the Primary heat exchangers considered essential.
Zum Stand der Technik gehören ferner Sekundärwärmeübertrager von Brennwertgeräten, bei denen die Lamellen nicht an die Rohre angelötet, sondern an diesen nur durch Aufweiten der Rohre festgelegt sind (EP 0 184 612 B2). Diese Sekundärwärmeübertrager arbeiten im Niedertemperaturbereich, weswegen man bei ihnen von einer bei Primärwärmeübertragern als notwendig erachteten Lötverbindung der Teile abgesehen hat.Secondary heat exchangers also belong to the prior art of condensing boilers in which the slats are not connected to the Pipes are soldered on, but only by widening them Pipes are specified (EP 0 184 612 B2). This Secondary heat exchangers work in the low temperature range, which is why they are one of primary heat exchangers apart from the solder connection of the parts deemed necessary Has.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Wärmeübertragers nach den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 ermöglicht eine rein mechanische und wegen Wegfalls der Lötarbeiten auch zeitlich verkürzte Montage eines Wärmeübertragers, der für den Einsatz im Hochtemperaturbereich bestimmt ist.The inventive method for producing a Heat exchanger according to the features of claim 1 allows a purely mechanical and because of the elimination of Soldering work also shortened assembly of a Heat exchanger for use in High temperature range is determined.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung wird jedes Rohr durch ein hindurchgeschobenes, vorzugsweise rotierend angetriebenes Werkzeug aufgeweitet, dessen Übermaß gegenüber dem nicht aufgeweiteten Innendurchmesser des Rohres in Abstimmung mit dem Werkstoff und der Wandstärke des Rohres so bemessen ist, daß sich zu beiden Seiten der Lamellenfüße bzw. Lamellenkragen Wülste am Außenumfang des Rohres bilden. Die Wülste legen sich an die Lamellenfüße bzw. Lamellenkanten fest an, wodurch der Wärmeübergang von den Lamellen auf das Rohr zusätzlich verstärkt wird. Die Wülste erhöhen zudem die Festigkeit des Lamellensitzes und verhindern, daß die Lamellen beim Aufweiten des Rohres axial wegwandern. Durch den hohen Arbeitsdruck bedingt wälzt sich auch die Innenwand des Rohres, wodurch auch das Siedegeräuschverhalten des Wärmeübertragers verbessert wird. In a preferred embodiment, each tube is separated by one pushed through, preferably driven in rotation Tool expanded, the excess of which is not expanded inner diameter of the pipe in coordination with the material and the wall thickness of the pipe is dimensioned so that on both sides of the slat feet or Lamella collar form beads on the outer circumference of the tube. The Bumps lie on the slat feet or slat edges firmly, which causes the heat transfer from the fins to the Tube is additionally reinforced. The beads also increase the Strength of the slat seat and prevent the Axially move fins away when expanding the pipe. By the high working pressure also causes the inner wall to roll of the pipe, which also causes the boiling noise behavior of the Heat exchanger is improved.
Bei Verwendung von Lamellen und Rohren aus Kupfer wird durch den Wegfall des Lötvorgangs auch ein Weichglühen der Teile vermieden und dadurch das Handling des vorgefertigten Lamellenblocks bei der Montage des Primärwärmeübertragers erleichtert. Außerdem können die Anschlüsse am Primärwärmeübertrager ohne Zusatzteile direkt in den Rohren integriert werden.When using fins and tubes made of copper, through the elimination of the soldering process also a soft annealing of the parts avoided and thereby the handling of the prefabricated Lamella blocks when installing the primary heat exchanger facilitated. In addition, the connections on Primary heat exchanger without additional parts directly in the pipes to get integrated.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen Figur 1 unmaßstäblich und vergrößert einen Teil-Längsschnitt durch ein Rohr eines Primärwärmeübertragers mit aufgesetzten Lamellen vor dem Aufweiten des Rohres durch das dargestellte Werkzeug, und Figur 2 den gleichen Rohrabschnitt nach dem Aufweiten.An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown and in the following description explained. Figure 1 is shown to scale and enlarged a partial longitudinal section through a tube Primary heat exchanger with fins in front of the Expanding the pipe by the tool shown, and Figure 2 shows the same pipe section after expansion.

Zum Befestigen der Lamellen 12 auf den Rohren 10 wird jedes
Rohr durch ein Werkzeug 18 aufgeweitet, das durch das Rohr
hindurchgeschoben wird und dabei rotierend angetrieben ist.
Das Werkzeug 18 hat einen Arbeitskopf (Kalotte) 20, der ein
zylindrisches Kernteil 22 aufweist, welches an seinem Umfang

Innendurchmesser d des unverformten Rohres 10 bemessen ist.
Das Übermaß ist in Abstimmung mit der Wandstärke s des
Rohres 10 und dessen Werkstoff so gewählt, daß sich beim
Aufweiten das Rohrmaterial fest an die Fußbereiche 16 bzw.
Kragen 17 der Lamellen 12 anpreßt und sich das dort radial
nach außen verdrängte Material zu beiden Seiten dieser
Bereiche zu Wulsten 28 aufwölbt. Bei einer praktischen
Ausführung haben die aus Kupfer gefertigten Rohre 10 einen
Innendurchmesser d von 19 mm, eine Wandstärke s von 1 mm und
der Arbeitskopf 20 ein Übermaß D-d von 0,3 mm.To attach the fins 12 on the
Durch die Wulste 28 werden die Lamellen 12 besonders fest
und in axialer Richtung formschlüssig mit den Rohren 10
verbunden. Außerdem werden die Berührungsflächen zwischen
den Lamellen 12 und den Rohren 10 vergrößert, so daß sich
auch ein besonders guter Wärmeübergang ergibt. An den
Innenwänden der Rohre 10 wird an den Stellen der Wulste 28
das Rohrmaterial nach außen geguetscht, wodurch sich dort
ringförmige Ausbuchtungen 30 ergeben. Das führt zu einer
welligen Ausbildung der Innenwandflächen, wodurch das
Siedegeräuschverhalten des Primärwärmeübertragers verbessert
wird.The beads 12 make the lamellae 12 particularly firm
and form-fitting with the
Zur Toleranzeinhaltung der Länge des Lamellenblocks wird dieser während des Aufweitens der Rohre an den parallel zu den Lamellen 12 verlaufenden Stirnseiten auf Maß gehalten, wobei dem Lamellenblock ein festgelegtes Spiel im Aufweitewerkzeug zugestanden wird.To keep the length of the slat block within tolerance this while expanding the pipes parallel to the the slats 12 extending end faces kept to measure, with the slat block a fixed game in Expanding tool is allowed.
