Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing-free plate heat exchanger, in particular Oil cooler, consisting of stacked heat exchanger plates, between them Have flow channels for one agent and for the other agent, the Flow channels or the heat exchanger plates of inlet and outlet channels for one means and those for the other means are broken, and with one - and exits for the inflow and outflow of one agent and the other
  • a cover and / or base plate of the plate heat exchanger By means of one entry and exit on a cover and / or base plate of the plate heat exchanger are arranged and the other inlets and outlets Step out of the side of the plate heat exchanger and on one between the Heat exchanger plates arranged intermediate plate are connected with has openings corresponding to the inflow and outflow channels of the agent.
  • the generic plate heat exchanger is known from international patent application WO 99/51926.
  • the document describes a compact plate heat exchanger which allows one of the means to be fed in and / or discharged to the side of the body of the plate heat exchanger.
  • the known plate heat exchanger is provided for the heat exchange between three means and consists of two separate plate heat exchangers, which are connected by means of an intermediate plate or spacer plate, on which the side connections are arranged.
  • the intermediate plate has a plurality of openings for the passage of the heat exchange means. Their scope corresponds to the scope of the heat exchanger plates or the cover plates.
  • the intermediate plate is located between two end plates of the plate heat exchangers, which, because of their significantly larger plate thickness, give the entire plate heat exchanger a much greater weight and require higher production costs.
  • the diameter of the connections determines the thickness of the intermediate plate, so that a relatively thick intermediate plate must also be present for large diameters.
  • an intermediate plate fitting for heat exchangers is known from DE 31 02 314 C2, which, however, does not belong to the housingless design, but is used, for example, as a coolant cooler, the secondary channels of which are occupied by cooling fins through which the cooling air flows freely.
  • the insertion of the intermediate plate fittings designed as additional individual parts requires that the adjacent heat exchanger plates have to be modified, which means that they have to be designed differently from the other heat exchanger plates.
  • the object of the invention is to make the first-mentioned plate heat exchanger even more compact and lighter, in particular to remove the dependency of the diameter of the connections on the thickness of the intermediate plate, without any modifications to the heat exchanger plates being required.
  • the solution according to the invention results from the characterizing part of claim 1 in connection with its preamble. Further developments are the subject of claims 2 to 17.
  • the intermediate plate consists of two trough-shaped, joined partial plates, on each of which at least part of an inlet or outlet is formed, and because each partial plate is connected to the adjacent heat exchanger plate, the overall height of the plate heat exchanger and its weight compared to the state mentioned at the beginning are Technology has been reduced.
  • the entry or exit is formed directly on the partial plates, so that a larger diameter thereof does not require a thicker intermediate plate. Larger diameters are realized according to the invention by means of larger degrees of deformation on the partial plates.
  • the partial plates themselves are preferably made of aluminum sheet of relatively small sheet thickness, so that the total weight of the plate heat exchanger should also be reduced in comparison with WO 99/51926 described at the beginning.
  • the two sub-panels joined together comprise a room (or rooms) in which one of the means is located.
  • the medium flows through this space.
  • the space is connected via openings to an inflow or outflow channel in order to distribute the medium to the assigned flow channels or to take up from these flow channels and the inflow or outflow channel.
  • the flow goes from an entry space in a diverging direction into the inflow channel and into an exit space the flow comes out of the outflow channel in a competing direction.
  • the features in claim 2 also lead to a very stable plate heat exchanger.
  • the features of claim 3 provide entry and exit on one and the same intermediate plate, so that entry and exit are arranged on one level.
  • Entry and exit can be arranged both in relative proximity to one another or on opposite sides of the intermediate plate or, in particular in the case of a rotationally symmetrical shape of the plate heat exchanger, also at an angle of 90 ° to one another.
  • the space addressed between the partial plates is divided into an entry space and an exit space.
  • further alternative positions of the arrangement of the entrances and exits can be made available.
  • the same partial plates are also preferably present, which is favorable for the production costs.
  • different forms of partial plates can also be used if the required position of the entrances and exits, their number or other restrictions make this seem reasonable.
  • the two partial plates, which form an intermediate plate are preferably of completely identical design and are put together in mirror image. More preferably, all four sub-plates that form two intermediate plates are of completely identical design.
  • the number of intermediate plates used is not limited to two. When using two intermediate plates, the space mentioned above between the partial plates is an exit space for one intermediate plate and an entry space for the other intermediate plate.
  • Beads are embossed in both sub-plates forming an intermediate plate, such that that the beads form a partition for the Represent means.
  • the beads can be replaced with inserts.
  • FIG. 21 per se belongs to the first exemplary embodiment described above and differs from FIG. 12 only in that it has interruptions 25 in the separating bead 18 and in the stiffening bead 6 .
  • the means for separating the coolant from the oil consist here in the borders 4 around the openings 22 and around the opening 14 .
  • Application examples (not shown) only have interruptions 25 in the separating bead 18 , so that only the space 19 serves as a flow-calming space in which pressure equalization can take place.
  • the interruptions 25 are dimensioned and arranged so that the main flow is of course, as described, passed through the entire plate heat exchanger.
