Definitions

  • the invention relates to a radiator assembly consisting of a plurality of radiators, each having two manifolds, wherein two manifolds of adjacent radiator form an edge of the radiator assembly, wherein the radiator arranged in at least one row, the manifolds connecting flat tubes having, transverse to the fan axis of the inside
  • the centrifugal fan arranged in the radiator arrangement, with a front wall and a rear wall and with inflow and outflow lines for fluid flowing through the flat tubes of at least two radiators fluid, which are connected to manifolds, such that in direct or indirect proximity to the end of the first and / or
  • the last flat tube of the at least one flat tube row is arranged a connecting piece whose mouth is provided in the collecting box in a row with the mouths of the flat tubes in the collecting box and which allows the connection of the inlet or outlet line of the cooler.
  • the adjacent longitudinal walls of the manifolds forming one edge of the radiator assembly may either touch each other or they may be a small distance apart, the gap being sealed by suitable sealing means to prevent the leakage of unused cooling air.
  • suitable sealing means to prevent the leakage of unused cooling air.
  • the flow openings in the adjacent longitudinal walls have an adapted to the shape of the flow opening insert, which is preferably soldered in the flow opening and if the inserts are sealed in the flow openings of adjacent longitudinal walls to the outside.
  • the inserts consist of a circumferential wall, which has a flange at the top and bottom end.
  • the one flange is directed outwards and the other inwards, so that the inserts pot-like, with an opening in the bottom of the pot look like.
  • the one flange serves as a soldering edge with the flow opening in the longitudinal wall.
  • the other flange serves to receive the peripheral part with the seals.
  • the above-mentioned sealing consists of a peripheral part adapted to the shape of the inserts, with two peripheral grooves, in each of which a seal is arranged, the peripheral part achieving a sealing effect with the seals against the wall of the inserts in the corresponding flow openings.
  • the connecting piece 12 in indirect proximity to the end of the first and / or last flat tube 8.1 of the at least one flat tube is apparent
  • Flat tubes 8; 8.1 is provided in the collecting box 5 and the connection of the inflow or outflow line 3z; 3a of the radiator 2, 6, or 7 allowed.
  • the side part 16 and the adjacent corrugated fin 9 is omitted , so that the connecting piece 12 is arranged directly adjacent to the flat tube 8.1 .
  • the tube sheet 11 are openings through which the ends of the flat tubes 8; 8.1 pass through.
  • Another opening 15 is provided in the projection 17 of the tube sheet 11 to receive the end of the connecting piece 12 .
  • the end faces of the header tank 5 are closed by a closure plate 14 .
  • the collecting box 5 has a longitudinal wall 24th
  • Fig. 1 shows a variant in which the radiator 2; 6 and 7 are connected in series of a box-shaped radiator arrangement.
  • the cooling liquid comes through the supply line 3z to the connection piece 12 and enters the collection box 5 of the right in the image cooler 6 a. From there it distributes itself to the flat tubes 8.1; 8 and flows to the lower header 5 of the same radiator 6.
  • This collection box 5 forms with the collection box 5 of the lower radiator 2 in the picture, an edge 23 of the radiator assembly, the longitudinal walls 24 of the manifolds 5 have in this embodiment a small distance a , like the Fig. 3 shows.
  • the header boxes 5 are fluidly connected to the two lower edges 23 of the radiator assembly, as well as shown also (for example) in Fig. 3, which will be described later.
  • Fig. 1 From this fluidic Connection are in Fig. 1 only in the right lower edge 23, the centerpieces of the peripheral part 30 shown in Fig. 3 can be seen. However, it can be seen that in this embodiment, two fluidic connections 25 are provided between the longitudinal walls of the headers 5 . Any number could be provided. The same fluidic connection is located in the left, lower edge 23. It can not be seen in Fig. 1. Accordingly, the cooling liquid can flow according to the drawn flow arrows 4 in the collecting box 5 of the lower radiator 2 , via its not shown flat tubes 8; 8.1 get to the other collection box 5 and from there continue to come in the left radiator 7 to leave the radiator assembly via the drain line 3a, top left. Further, Fig.
  • FIG. 1 shows that in the box-shaped radiator assembly, a centrifugal fan 10 is arranged.
  • the flat tubes 8, 8.1 of the radiators 1, 2, 6 and 7 extend transversely to the fan axis V.
  • the rear side of the radiator arrangement is closed by a rear wall R.
  • the front has a front wall F with a not shown air - inlet and a nozzle.
  • the radiator assembly In the upper part of the radiator assembly is a mating from standard parts supply line 3z and bottom, left just such a drain line 3a .
  • the arrangement has been changed, however, so that the already mentioned circuit variant results.
  • the inlet is located in Fig. 2 above, left.
  • the radiator 6 and 7 are connected to each other, so that the feed stream to the cooler 6 and 7 splits. He enters via the connecting pieces 12 in both coolers 6, 7 and their manifolds 5 a.
  • the flow arrows 4 indicate how the arrangement is flowed through.
  • lower edge 23 which is formed by a respective collection box 5 of the radiator 6 and 2 , there are already described in connection with FIG.
  • FIG. 3 shows now details of the fluidic connection between the manifolds 5 of the radiator or between the longitudinal walls 24. Shown is only the variant in which the longitudinal walls 24 have a small distance a from each other, wherein the distance a by a suitable seal 26th over the entire length of the collecting tanks 5 is filled to prevent the escape of unused cooling air.
  • the other variant which does not have such a distance a and therefore no seal 26 needed is not shown. It is understood that for both variants, the formation of the inserts 27 and the seals 32 could be modified accordingly. For example, it may be sufficient to provide a modified insert 27 only in a flow opening 25 of a collecting box 5 , which engages in the corresponding flow opening 25 of the other collecting box 5 and is also sealed there. In this case, a flange could also be located at the corresponding flow opening 25 .
  • the variant shown in Fig. 3 has in the corresponding flow openings 25 in the longitudinal walls 24 of both manifolds 5 each have an insert 27, which consists of a peripheral wall portion 28 and an inwardly directed and an outwardly flange 29 .
  • insert 27 With the one outwardly directed flange 29 of the insert 27 is supported in the respective flow opening 25 and thus provides a suitable soldering surface with the flow opening 25.
  • the other inwardly directed flange 29 protrudes into the collecting box 5 by a small amount.
  • This flange 29 serves to receive a peripheral part 30 provided for sealing.
  • the peripheral part 30 is provided with grooves 31 , in which seals 32 are inserted.
  • the seals 32 press from the inside against the respective wall portion 28 of the corresponding insert 30, whereby the escape of the Coolant is to be prevented. It can also be seen from FIG. 3 and this description that the fluidic connection substantially contributes to the stability of the cooler arrangement, since the individual coolers have been fixed in their position by this connection.
  • the shape of the flow openings 25, the inserts 27 and the peripheral part 30 can be arbitrary. In the simplest case, the circular shape is selected.
