Definitions
- the invention relates to an exhaust gas heat exchanger for motor vehicles, which consists of a stack of heat exchanger plates and which has the further features of the preamble of claim 1.
- An exhaust gas heat exchanger is out of the DE 101 24 383 known.
- the known exhaust gas heat exchanger has single-flow exhaust paths. For example, if the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine with multiple cylinders, for example with six cylinders to recool, under certain circumstances, two exhaust lines for each three cylinders must be present, in each strand such a known exhaust gas heat exchanger would have to be arranged.
- the object of the invention is to design an exhaust gas heat exchanger so that it can be constructed inexpensively as a single-flow or optionally also as a multi-flow exhaust heat exchanger.
- the cooling water paths are designed as "open" paths, so that the cooling water has contact with the housing.
- This has the advantage that the housing is not heated as much as in the exhaust gas heat exchanger from the DE 101 24 383 A1 where the hot exhaust gas is in contact with the housing.
- the flat tube halves are provided at their broad sides with transverse ribs to force the cooling water to the snake-like flow through the cooling water paths.
- between the transverse ribs and support studs may be arranged to raise the turbulence of the cooling water. At a relatively small distance can possibly be dispensed with support knobs.
- the housing is preferably formed in two parts, which is also advantageous in terms of manufacturability, because the pairs of flat tube halves can be easily inserted into the housing. Both housing parts are connected to each other at about half the height of the stack of flat tube halves or half the width of the flat tube halves.
- the housing parts are approximately U - shaped in cross section - simply folded on both sides. The transverse ends are undeformed.
- Claim 3 ensures in a cost effective manner, the fluidic separation of the two exhaust paths. This advantage can also affect the features
- the exhaust gas heat exchanger of the embodiment is constructed of formed stainless steel sheets.
- the items of the exhaust gas heat exchanger are, as described below, assembled and connected in a brazing furnace. Since the coating of the stainless steel sheets with a solder material is still problematic, solder foils / pastes are preferably applied or provided at the connecting seams between the individual parts in a manner known per se and therefore not to be described in detail.
- the essential individual parts of the exhaust gas heat exchanger in the embodiment shown are the flat tube halves 1 , the separating elements 15 , the tube plates 19 , the connecting flanges 12 and the housing. 2
- the flat tube halves 1 are produced from strip to forming machines. All flat tube halves 1 are identical, which means that they can be produced with the same tool.
- the flat tube halves 1 have beveled longitudinal edges 14 .
- FIG. 7 The longitudinal edges 14 are bent in an L shape, wherein the short leg of the arm in the exemplary embodiment is provided in each case for the connection of two flat tube halves 1 , since with these short legs there are respectively two Flat tube halves 1 to each other and form a connecting surface 21st At this connection surface 21 are spaced-apart projections, tabs 22 or the like, are provided, which serve the mechanical connection of two flat tube halves 1 to a pair.
- a flat tube half 1 is rotated by 180 ° in order to be able to be attached with its longitudinal edges 14 to the longitudinal edges 14 of the other flat tube half 1 .
- Trennelemet 15 which is a prefabricated rod of the same material in the embodiment, inserted in the longitudinal direction of the flat tube.
- two separate exhaust gas passages 4.1 and 4.2 result later within a flat tube .
- smooth-walled inner inserts 33 (FIG. Fig. 7 ) is inserted in the exhaust gas paths 4.1 and 4.2 .
- the function of the separating element 15 has been formed by a partition wall within a one-piece inner insert 33 .
- the shown embodiment of the separating element 15 is more useful, because by the juxtaposition of several inner inserts 33 in the longitudinal direction of the exhaust gas heat exchanger each set at the joints of adjacent inner inserts 33 sealing problems , Thereafter, the already mentioned tabs 22 are bent over - and seen - in the longitudinal direction - alternately upwards and downwards - to reach over the connecting edge 21 and thus to fix the pair of flat tube halves 1 to a flat tube.
- the broad sides 23 of the flat tubes thus formed have embossed transverse ribs 31 and in this embodiment also supporting nubs 30 .
- the transverse ribs 31 and the Abstütznoppen 30 have on all flat tube halves 1, the same position.
- the transverse ribs 31 do not extend over the entire width of the flat tube halves 1 but advantageously (see below) only over about half the width. They are arranged in alternating positions to the two longitudinal edges 14 of the flat tube halves 1 , ie, on a transverse rib 31 , which ends approximately at a longitudinal edge 14 follows the next transverse rib 31 , which ends at the opposite other longitudinal edge 14 , etc.
- Fig. 1 can be seen better, the pairs of flat tube halves 1 on top of each other stacked.
- the support nubs 30 and the transverse ribs 31 of adjacent pairs of flat tube halves 1 come to rest against each other, to be connected later.
- the tube plates 19 are attached to both open ends 40 and 50 of the flat tubes and mounted. The ends are inserted into the corresponding openings 18 of the tubesheets 19 , so that there later a quality soldering connection is possible.
- the prefabricated unit described so far is inserted into a housing half 2a and enclosed by means of the other housing half 2b .
- the exhaust gas heat exchanger is completed by the attachment of the connecting flanges 12 at the opposite ends 40 and 50 and at the end faces 11 and by the connections 13 for the cooling water, which are arranged on a longitudinal wall 10 of the housing 2 .
- the terminals 13 are noteworthy, since they are quite simply formed by means of one approximately over the entire height of the stack 13 reaching slot 32 in the longitudinal wall 10 of the housing 2 , via the (slot 32 ) to the longitudinal wall 10 open towards ports 13 are attached , As a result, in addition to the very production-friendly design, a relatively uniform and low pressure loss-causing division of the cooling liquid to the "open" cooling water paths 5 is achieved. (see also Fig. 1 . 4 and 6
- the slots 32 are, as shown in the cited figures, arranged in the longitudinal sides of the housing 2 in which the two housing halves 2a , 2b are joined together.
- one slot 32 (connection 13 ) in one longitudinal wall 10 and the other slot 32 (connection 13 ) could be arranged in the opposite longitudinal wall 10 .
- the continuous longitudinal sides of the housing 2 are arranged above and below or parallel to the flat tube halves 1 .
- the strut 17 is located exactly on the line passing through the dividers 15 ( Fig. 2 ) is described in each flat tube. (In the case of several lines of separating elements 15 or more than two exhaust gas paths in each flat tube, corresponding to a plurality of struts 17 ).
- the strut 17 has projections 60 on its side facing the open flat tube ends 40 , 50 . The projections 60 coincide in their thickness with the height of the cooling water paths 5 and with the distance between the pairs of flat tube halves 1 .
- the transverse ribs 31 in their length I do not extend beyond the position of the separating elements 15 . Since in the exemplary embodiment only a number of separating elements 15 is provided and the row is arranged approximately in the middle of the exhaust path 4 , the length I of the transverse ribs 31 should be shorter than the dimension L, measured from the edge 14 to the separator 15. If this condition is respected, it is certainly not necessary, other u. U.
- FIGS. 12 also show how the housing halves 2 a , 2 b are interconnected. Namely, each of the legs of the U-shaped housing halves 2a, 2b at its longitudinal edge by about the thickness of material deposited to the outside, so that in each case the other undeformed leg can be attached and connected with its longitudinal edge from the inside to the remote longitudinal edge of the other housing half , Since the overlap of the longitudinal edges and thus the size of the connecting surface is a pure dimensioning, it can be expected that the tight connection of the housing halves 2a , 2b meets high quality standards.
- both housing halves 2a and 2b are identical except for the arrangement of the slots 32 for the terminals 13 (see above), which is undoubtedly a manufacturing advantage. If the housing 2 is rotated by 90 ° about the longitudinal axis and the slots 32 are provided in the other (continuous) longitudinal walls of the housing 2 (see above), then the housing halves 2a , 2b are completely identical.
- the Fig. 6 shows that it is possible, two exhaust strands of the engine (although not shown) to lead together on the connecting flange 12 and the exhaust, fluidly separated from each other, to cool in the exhaust paths 4.1 and 4.2 , to then pass it separately separately, because in the picture rear flange 12 is also identical to the front flange 12th

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abgaswärmetauscher für Kraftfahrzeuge, der aus einem Stapel von Wärmetauscherplatten besteht und der die weiteren Merkmale aus dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.The invention relates to an exhaust gas heat exchanger for motor vehicles, which consists of a stack of heat exchanger plates and which has the further features of the preamble of
Ein Abgaswärmetauscher ist aus der
Der mit dem Oberbegriff übereinstimmende Abgaswärmetauscher ist aus
Diese Aussage trifft auch auf den Abgaswärmetauscher zu, der mit dem älteren aber nicht vorveröffentlichtem
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Abgaswärmetauscher so zu konzipieren, dass er kostengünstig als einflutiger oder wahlweise auch als mehrflutiger Abgaswärmtauscher aufgebaut werden kann.The object of the invention is to design an exhaust gas heat exchanger so that it can be constructed inexpensively as a single-flow or optionally also as a multi-flow exhaust heat exchanger.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Danach ist vorgesehen, dass identische Flachrohrhälften mit abgekanteten Längsrändern verwendet werden. Die Flachrohrhälften unterscheiden sich von den Wärmetauscherplatten aus der erstgenannten Veröffentlichung unter anderem dadurch, dass sie an den stirnseitigen Enden "offen" sind, wogegen Wärmetauscherplatten um ihren gesamten Umfang herum durch einen Rand "geschlossen" sind. Jeweils zwei solche Flachrohrhälften sind spiegelbildlich mit ihren Längsrändern zusammengefügt und schließen in sich einen Abgasweg ein. Die Querränder der Flachrohrhälften sind frei von Abkantungen oder von anderen Verformungen, damit das Abgas mit möglichst geringem Druckverlust in die Abgaswege ein - und austreten kann. Mit anderen Worten bedeutet das, dass die Flachrohrhälften in ihrem Querschnitt etwa u-förmig gestaltet sind. Die Kühlwasserwege sind als "offene" Wege ausgebildet, so dass das Kühlwasser Kontakt mit dem Gehäuse hat. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass sich das Gehäuse nicht so stark erwärmt wie bei dem Abgaswärmetauscher aus der
Das Gehäuse ist vorzugsweise zweiteilig ausgebildet, was ebenfalls hinsichtlich der Herstellbarkeit vorteilhaft ist, weil sich die Paare von Flachrohrhälften leichter in das Gehäuse einfügen lassen. Beide Gehäuseteile sind etwa auf der halben Höhe des Stapels der Flachrohrhälften oder auf der halben Breite der Flachrohrhälften miteinander verbunden. Die Gehäuseteile sind im Querschnitt etwa u - förmig verformt - einfach an beiden Längsseiten abgekantet. Die querseitigen Enden sind unverformt.The housing is preferably formed in two parts, which is also advantageous in terms of manufacturability, because the pairs of flat tube halves can be easily inserted into the housing. Both housing parts are connected to each other at about half the height of the stack of flat tube halves or half the width of the flat tube halves. The housing parts are approximately U - shaped in cross section - simply folded on both sides. The transverse ends are undeformed.
Des weiteren wird auf die anderen abhängigen Ansprüche verwiesen. Beispielsweise wird mit den Merkmalen aus Anspruch 2 ein Abgaswärmetauscher geschaffen, dessen gesamte Länge zum Wärmeaustausch zur Verfügung steht.Furthermore, reference is made to the other dependent claims. For example, with the features of
Anspruch 3 gewährleistet auf kostengünstige Art und Weise die fluidische Trennung der beiden Abgaswege. Dieser Vorteil kann auch den Merkmalen aus
Anspruch 7 nachgesagt werden. Die verblüffende Einfachheit der Anschlüsse, deren Merkmale in Anspruch 9 aufgeführt sind, wirken sich ebenfalls Kosten senkend aus.Claim 7 to be said. The amazing simplicity of the terminals, the features of which are listed in claim 9, also have a cost-cutting effect.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend in einem Ausführungsbeispiel unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen beschrieben.The invention will now be described in an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Der Abgaswärmetauscher des Ausführungsbeispiels ist aus umgeformten Blechen aus Edelstahl aufgebaut. Die Einzelteile des Abgaswärmetauschers werden, wie nachfolgend beschrieben ist, zusammengefügt und in einem Lötofen verbunden. Da die Beschichtung der Edelstahlbleche mit einem Lotwerkstoff nach wie vor problematiscch ist, werden vorzugsweise in an sich bekannter und deshalb nicht im Einzelnen zu beschreibender Art und Weise Lotfolien / Pasten an den Verbindungsnähten zwischen den Einzelteilen aufgetragen bzw. vorgesehen.The exhaust gas heat exchanger of the embodiment is constructed of formed stainless steel sheets. The items of the exhaust gas heat exchanger are, as described below, assembled and connected in a brazing furnace. Since the coating of the stainless steel sheets with a solder material is still problematic, solder foils / pastes are preferably applied or provided at the connecting seams between the individual parts in a manner known per se and therefore not to be described in detail.
Die wesentlichen Einzelteile des Abgaswärmetauschers im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Flachrohrhälften 1, die Trennelemente 15, die Rohrböden 19, die Anschlußflansche 12 und das Gehäuse 2. Die Flachrohrhälften 1 werden vom Band auf Umformmaschinen hergestellt. Alle Flachrohrhälften 1 sind identisch, das bedeutet, dass sie mit demselben Werkzeug herstellbar sind. Die Flachrohrhälften 1 weisen abgekantete Längsränder 14 auf. (
Die Anschlüsse 13 sind bemerkenswert, da sie ganz einfach mittels je eines etwa über die gesamte Höhe des Stapels 13 reichenden Schlitzes 32 in der Längswand 10 des Gehäuses 2 gebildet sind, über den (Schlitz 32) die zur Längswand 10 hin offenen Anschlüsse 13 angesetzt sind. Dadurch wird neben der sehr herstellungsfreundlichen Ausbildung auch eine relativ gleichmäßige und geringen Druckverlust verursachende Aufteilung der Kühlflüssigkeit auf die "offenen" Kühlwasserwege 5 erreicht. (siehe hierzu
Ein anderes wesentliches Merkmal des Abgaswärmetauschers wird in der Ausbildung der Strebe 17 an den Anschlußflanschen 12 gesehen. (
An dieser Stelle soll erneut auf die Ausbildung der Querrippen 31 in den Flachrohrhälften 1 eingegangen werden, denn auch durch die Querrippen 31 darf, aufgrund ihrer Zusammenwirkung mit den Trennelementen 15 (
Die Erfinder halten es ferner für erwähnenswert, dass die obere und untere Flachrohrhälfte 1 des Stapels 3 mit ihren Querrippen 31 und Abstütznoppen 30 an der Wand des Gehäuses 2 anliegt und auch damit verbunden ist, denn dadurch wird eine stabile Einheit geschaffen. Dies zeigt insbesondere die
