Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauscher, bestehend aus einem Rohr, dessen äußere Oberfläche zumindest teilweise mit Kühlrippen versehen ist. Darüber hinaus betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Wärmetauschers bestehend aus einem Rohr, dessen Oberfläche zumindest teilweise mit Kühlrippen besetzt ist, deren vom Rohr wegweisenden freien Kanten mit wenigstens einer Abdeckung versehen sind.The present invention relates to a heat exchanger consisting of a Pipe whose outer surface is at least partially provided with cooling fins. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a Heat exchanger consisting of a tube, the surface of which at least is partly covered with cooling fins, the free edges of which point away from the pipe are provided with at least one cover.

Wärmetauscher der beschriebenen Art sind bekannt und umfangreich im Einsatz. Insbesondere werden entsprechende Wärmetauscher beispielsweise in Kraftwerken eingesetzt. Besonders werden solche Wärmetauscher als luftgekühlte Kondensatoren in Kraftwerken, oder als Industriekühler in der Chemie und der Lebensmittelindustrie eingesetzt. Sie führen in verschiedenen Prozessen die benötigte Energie ab oder zu. Hier werden abgeflachte Stahlrohre, deren äußere Oberfläche mit Aluminium beschichtet ist für das zu kühlende Medium verwendet. Auf den äußeren Oberflächen der mit Alu beschichteten Stahlrohre sind Kühlrippen angeordnet, die ihrerseits mit einem Kühlmedium überströmt werden, beispielsweise Kühlluft, Kühlgas oder dergleichen. Es ist bekannt, diese Rippen dadurch zu bilden, daß entsprechende Bleche durch mehrfache im wesentlichen rechtwinklige Abfaltungen ziehharmonikaartig gefaltet werden. Die gebildeten Rippenbleche werden dann auf der Oberfläche des Rohres angeordnet und mit dieser fest verbunden. Heat exchangers of the type described are known and are in extensive use. In particular, corresponding heat exchangers are used, for example, in Power plants used. Such heat exchangers are considered to be air-cooled Capacitors in power plants, or as industrial coolers in chemistry and Used in the food industry. They carry out the in different processes required energy from or to. Here are flattened steel pipes, the outer Surface coated with aluminum is used for the medium to be cooled. There are cooling fins on the outer surfaces of the steel tubes coated with aluminum arranged, which in turn are flooded with a cooling medium, for example cooling air, cooling gas or the like. It is known these ribs to form in that corresponding sheets by multiple essentially right-angled folds are folded like an accordion. The educated Ribbed sheets are then placed on the surface of the tube and with this firmly connected.

Infolge des Über- oder Unterdrucks im Rohr und wegen der thermischen Spannungen neigen die abgeflachten Rohre dazu, sich aufzuwölben und damit den mechanischen Verbund zwischen Rippen und Rohroberfläche zu beeinträchtigen. Aus diesem Grunde müssen die Rippen aus entsprechend starken Blechen gebildet sein.As a result of the overpressure or underpressure in the pipe and because of the thermal The flattened pipes tend to bulge, and thus to tension the mechanical bond between the ribs and the pipe surface affect. For this reason, the ribs must be made accordingly strong sheets are formed.

Alternativ zu den beschriebenen Materialien sind auch entsprechende Wärmetauscher aus Stahl mit Stahlrippen sowie aus Kupfer und anderen gut wärmeleitenden Metallen, Keramiken und Kunststoffen bekannt.As an alternative to the materials described, there are also corresponding ones Heat exchangers made of steel with steel fins as well as made of copper and other good heat-conducting metals, ceramics and plastics known.

Es ist auch bekannt, ganze Wärmetauscherpakete aufzubauen, wobei mehrere wie beschriebene abgeflachte Rohre mit dazwischen liegenden Rippen zu einem Gesamtpaket verbunden werden. Die Rippenlagen können auch durch Zwischenbleche unterbrochen sein, die jedoch mit den jeweils angrenzenden Rippenlagen fest verbunden sind. Solche Wärmetauscherpakete verhalten sich monolitisch und es kommt sehr häufig zu Beeinträchtigungen der Verbindungen aufgrund von thermisch bedingten Ausdehnungen, Verzug und dergleichen.It is also known to build entire heat exchanger packages, with several such described flattened tubes with ribs between them into one Entire package to be connected. The rib layers can also by Intermediate sheets must be interrupted, but with the adjacent ones Rib layers are firmly connected. Such heat exchanger packages behave monolithic and very often the connections are impaired due to thermal expansion, warpage and the like.

Bei den vorbekannten Wärmetauschern sind die Herstellungsverfahren sehr aufwendig, da die die Rippen bildenden abgekanteten Bleche auf den Rohroberflächen sehr genau zur Herstellung einer guten Befestigung gehalten werden müssen, andererseits aber die freien Kanten der Rippen, die vom Rohr abstehen, sehr empfindlich sind.The manufacturing processes of the known heat exchangers are very high complex, since the bent sheets forming the ribs on the Pipe surfaces held very precisely for the production of a good fastening must, on the other hand, the free edges of the ribs from the tube stand out, are very sensitive.

Ausgehend vom vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Wärmetauscher der gattungsgemäßen Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß dieser mit geringem wirtschaftlichen Aufwand und auf einfache Weise herstellbar ist, einen verbesserten mechanischen Verbund bietet und zugleich Materialeinsparungen ermöglicht.Starting from the above-described prior art, the object of the invention is to develop a heat exchanger of the generic type in such a way that it can be produced with little economic effort and in a simple manner, offers an improved mechanical bond and at the same time enables material savings.

Darüber hinaus soll ein vereinfachtes Verfahren zur Herstellung erfindungsgemäßer Wärmetauscher bereitgestellt werden. Die erfindungsgemäßen Wärmetauscher verbessern darüber hinaus trotz aller wirtschaftlichen Vorteile den Wirkungsgrad. It also aims to provide a simplified manufacturing process Heat exchanger according to the invention are provided. The invention Heat exchangers also improve the despite all economic advantages Efficiency.

Vorrichtungsseitig wird mit der Erfindung zur technischen Lösung der Aufgabe vorgeschlagen, daß die der Rohroberfläche abgewandten freien Kanten der Rippen wenigstens bereichsweise mit einer Abdeckung versehen sind.On the device side, the invention proposes a technical solution to the problem that the free edges of the ribs facing away from the tube surface are provided with a cover, at least in some areas.

Erfindungsgemäß werden die freien, vom Rohr wegweisenden Kanten der Rippen mit einer Abdeckung versehen. Diese wird fest mit den Rippenkanten verbunden, wodurch die mechanische Stabilität des gesamten Rohrrippenverbundes derart erhöht wird, daß die Rippen aus entscheidend dünneren Blechen als beim Stand der Technik hergestellt werden können. Bei der beschriebenen Verwendung von Aluminiumrippen können trotz der Verwendung der Abdeckungen aus Aluminium Einsparungen bis in die Bereiche von 40% Aluminium bei gleicher Bauform und verbessertem Wirkungsgrad des Wärmetauschers erzielt werden. Bei Verwendung von Stahl oder anderen Metallen können ähnliche Einsparungen erzielt werden.According to the free edges of the ribs pointing away from the tube provided with a cover. This is firmly connected to the rib edges, thus the mechanical stability of the entire tube fin assembly is increased that the ribs from significantly thinner sheets than in the stand of technology can be manufactured. When using Aluminum ribs can be made of aluminum despite the use of the covers Savings in the range of 40% aluminum with the same design and improved efficiency of the heat exchanger can be achieved. Using similar savings can be made from steel or other metals.

Gemäß der Erfindung werden für die Abdeckungen Bleche verwendet. Die Bleche können streifenförmig Teile der Rippen abdecken, die gesamte Rippenkantenoberfläche abdecken oder als Stückbleche jeweils gewünschte Einzelbereiche abdecken. Das Material der Abdeckbleche wird derart gewählt, daß sich dieses mit den Rippen in Abhängigkeit von deren Materialausbildung auf einfache Weise dauerhaft verbinden lassen.According to the invention, sheets are used for the covers. The sheets can strip parts of the ribs cover the entire Cover the rib edge surface or the desired piece sheets Cover individual areas. The material of the cover plates is chosen such that this with the ribs depending on their material formation easily connected permanently.

Gemäß der Erfindung können Verbindungen durch Löten, Schweißen oder Kleben hergestellt werden. Zusätzlich und/oder alternativ können Verbindungen auch mechanisch durchgeführt werden.According to the invention, connections can be made by soldering, welding or gluing getting produced. Additionally and / or alternatively, connections can also be carried out mechanically.

In vorteilhafter Weise können die Abdeckungen ihrerseits Ausnehmungen aufweisen, beispielsweise gelocht sein oder sonstige bedarfsgerechte Ausnehmungen aufweisen.The covers can in turn advantageously have recesses have, for example, perforated or other needs-based Have recesses.

Abgesehen von den erheblichen Materialeinsparmöglichkeiten weisen die erfindungsgemäßen Wärmetauscher eine erheblich vergrößerte Wärmeübertragungsfläche auf und damit eine verbesserte Leistung. Darüber hinaus ergibt sich bei Verwendung von Kühlluft eine Zwangsluftführung und es wird sogenannte Falschluft vermieden. Apart from the considerable material savings, the heat exchanger according to the invention a significantly enlarged Heat transfer surface and thus improved performance. About that in addition, the use of cooling air results in a forced air flow and it so-called false air is avoided.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Wärmetauscher lassen sich darüber hinaus auf einfache Weise zur Paketbildung verwenden. Dabei können die jeweils die äußeren Oberflächen bildenden Abdeckungen, die bei Paketbildungen aufeinandergelegt werden, elastisch verbunden werden, beispielsweise durch verknipsen, so daß das Gesamtpaket nicht monolitisch auf thermische Spannungen reagiert sondern diese aufnehmen kann. Dadurch wird die mechanische Dauerstandfestigkeit erheblich erhöht.The heat exchangers according to the invention can also be simple Use way to package. The outer Surface-forming covers that are stacked on top of each other when forming packages be connected elastically, for example by clipping, so that The entire package does not react monolithically to thermal tensions, but rather these can record. This increases the mechanical fatigue strength elevated.

Verfahrensseitig wird zur technischen Lösung der Aufgabe mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Wärmetauschers bestehend aus einem Rohr, dessen Oberfläche zumindest teilweise mit Kühlrippen besetzt ist, deren vom Rohr wegweisenden freien Kanten mit wenigstens einer Abdeckung versehen sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß auf die äußere Oberfläche eines abgeflachten Rohres Rippen in Form eines mehrfach rechtwinklig abgewinkelten Bleches aufgelegt, mit einer Abdeckung in den vom Rohr wegweisenden freien Kanten versehen und das gebildete Paket durch auf die Abdeckung ausgeübten Druck gehalten wird, um anschließend die Rippen sowohl mit der Rohroberfläche als auch mit der Abdeckung durch geeignete Verbindungsverfahren zu verbinden.On the process side, the technical solution to the problem proposed by the invention is a method for producing a heat exchanger consisting of a tube, the surface of which is at least partially covered with cooling fins, the free edges of which point away from the tube are provided with at least one cover, characterized in that the outer surface of a flattened tube ribs placed in the form of a sheet metal bent at several right angles, provided with a cover in the free edges pointing away from the tube and the package formed is held by pressure exerted on the cover, in order to subsequently attach the ribs both to the tube surface and to connect the cover using suitable connection methods.

Insbesondere bei der Verwendung von mit Löchern oder Ausnehmungen versehenen Abdeckungen ergeben sich Möglichkeiten der vereinfachten Verbindung der Rippen mit der Rohroberfläche. Auch reifenförmige oder flächenförmige Teilabdeckungen können dieses Ergebnis hervorbringen. So kann beispielsweise durch die Löcher hindurch durchgeschweißt werden, um beispielsweise die Rippen an den Rohroberflächen durch Schweißen, Punktschweißen und dergleichen zu befestigen. Die Abdeckungen ihrerseits können ebenfalls durch Punktschweißen, Löten oder mechanische Verbindungen erzeugende Stanzungen und dergleichen mit den Rippen verbunden werden.Especially when using holes or recesses provided covers there are possibilities of simplified Connection of the ribs to the pipe surface. Also tire-shaped or sheet-like partial covers can produce this result. So can for example, to be welded through the holes for example the ribs on the pipe surfaces by welding, To fix spot welding and the like. The covers in turn can also be done by spot welding, soldering or mechanical connections generating punchings and the like are connected to the ribs.

Der erfindungsgemäße Wärmetauscher und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ermöglichen verbesserte mechanische Festigkeiten gattungsgemäßer Wärmetauscher bei gleichzeitiger Materialeinsparung und vereinfachter Verfahrensführung. Durch die Verwendung der Abdeckungen ist es verfahrensseitig möglich, ein zu verbindendes Gesamtpaket durch äußeres Verspannen zu bilden und zu halten, wobei dann die Rippen auf einfache Weise auf den Rohroberflächen und die Abdeckungen auf den Rippenkanten fixiert und die Elemente dauerhaft miteinander verbunden werden können.The heat exchanger according to the invention and the method according to the invention enable improved mechanical strengths of the generic type Heat exchanger while saving material and simplified Process management. By using the covers it is On the procedural side, an overall package to be connected can be created using an external one Bracing to form and hold, then the ribs in a simple manner fixed on the pipe surfaces and the covers on the rib edges and the elements can be permanently connected to each other.

Der Rippenwirkungsgrad der erfindungsgemäßen Wärmetauscher liegt in üblicher Weise in Bereichen von 75% bis 82% bei Materialeinsparungen zwischen 15% und 37%. So genügt es bereits Rippen aus Blechen zwischen 0,15 bis 0,3 mm Material zu verwenden und dennoch erhöhte mechanische Stabilität des Wärmetauschers hervorzubringen.The fin efficiency of the heat exchangers according to the invention is more usual Way in ranges from 75% to 82% with material savings between 15% and 37%. Ribs made of sheet metal between 0.15 and 0.3 mm material are sufficient to use and yet increased mechanical stability of the heat exchanger produce.
