Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft gehäuselose Plattenwärmetauscher, insbesondere Ölkühler, bestehend aus gestapelten Wärmetauscherplatten (1), die zwischen sich Strömungskanäle (7a), für das eine Mittel und ebensolche (7b) für das andere Mittel ausbilden, wobei die Strömungskanäle (7a, 7b) bzw. die Wärmetauscherplatten (1) von Zu - und Abflußkanälen (8a; 8b), für das eine Mittel und (16a, 16b) für das andere Mittel durchbrochen sind, sowie mit Ein - und Austritten (9, 10) für den Zulauf bzw. den Ablauf des einen und (11, 12) des anderen Mittels, wobei die einen Ein - und Austritte (9, 10) an der Deck - und/oder der Grundplatte (13) des Plattenwärmetauschers angeordnet sind und die anderen Ein - und Austritte (11, 12) seitlich aus dem Körper des Plattenwärmetauschers heraustreten und an einer zwischen den Wärmetauscherplatten (1) befindlichen Zwischenplatte (15) angeordnet sind, die mit den Zu - und Abflußkanälen (8a, 8b, 16a, 16b) der Mittel korrespondierende Durchbrüche (17, 22) aufweist. Um einen kompakten, leichten und variabel anschließbaren Plattenwärmetauscher zu erhalten ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Zwischenplatte (15) aus zwei wannenartig verformten und zusammengefügten Teilplatten (15a, 15b) besteht, dass zwischen den Teilplatten (15a, 15b) wenigstens ein Raum (26) ausgebildet ist, dass die Teilplatten (15a, 15b) Durchbrüche (17) besitzen, die den Raum (26) mit dem Zu - oder dem Abflußkanal (8a, 8b) nach oben und unten verbinden, dass an den Teilplatten (15a, 15b) jeweils mindestens ein Teil (33) eines Ein - oder Austritts (11, 12) angeformt ist, über den das eine Mittel in den Raum (26) ein - oder austritt und, dass an oder zwischen den Teilplatten (15a, 15b) Mittel (18, 4) zur Trennung des einen Mittels vom anderen Mittel angeordnet sind.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to plate heat exchangers without housings, in particular oil coolers, consisting of stacked heat exchanger plates (1) which form flow channels (7a) between them, for one agent and the same (7b) for the other agent, the flow channels (7a, 7b) or the heat exchanger plates (1) of inflow and outflow channels (8a; 8b), for which one means and (16a, 16b) for the other means are broken, and with inlets and outlets (9, 10) for the inlet and the Outflow of the one and (11, 12) of the other means, the one inlets and outlets (9, 10) being arranged on the cover and / or the base plate (13) of the plate heat exchanger and the other inlets and outlets (11 , 12) emerge laterally from the body of the plate heat exchanger and are arranged on an intermediate plate (15) located between the heat exchanger plates (1), which have openings (8a, 8b, 16a, 16b) corresponding to the means (8a, 8b, 16a, 16b) of the means. 17, 22). In order to obtain a compact, light and variably connectable plate heat exchanger, the invention provides that the intermediate plate (15) consists of two partial plates (15a, 15b) which are deformed and joined in the manner of a tub, and that at least one space (26) between the partial plates (15a, 15b) it is formed that the partial plates (15a, 15b) have openings (17) which connect the space (26) with the inflow or outflow channel (8a, 8b) up and down, that on the partial plates (15a, 15b) In each case at least one part (33) of an inlet or outlet (11, 12) is formed, via which one means enters or exits the space (26) and that means () on or between the partial plates (15a, 15b) 18, 4) for separating one means from the other means.
