Definitions
- EP 1 060 808 discloses a method for producing a flat tube from a sheet-metal strip with inward embossments, so-called turbulators, and at least two chambers, wherein first a flat sheet metal strip is provided and fed to a tube forming machine, wherein the embossments are formed in one or more stages from the sheet metal strip, and wherein at the longitudinal edges of the sheet metal head radii are formed. It is known to produce flat tubes for heat exchangers from a sheet-metal strip, preferably from a double-side solder-plated aluminum strip in a continuous process on a corresponding pipe-making machine.
- the flat tube After bending and forming the flat tube cross-section, the flat tube is closed by a welded or soldered longitudinal seam.
- Such flat tubes are z. B. used for coolant radiator in motor vehicles, the flat tubes are joined with corrugated ribs to form a block and soldered.
- the flat tube cross-sections are formed as slim as possible, to increase the internal pressure resistance webs, folds or beads are provided which act as tie rods and divide the flat tube cross-section into chambers.
- flat tubes which are not designed as multi-chamber tubes, but have a continuous cross-section, wherein to increase the heat transfer to the inside of the tube, ie, for. B.
- turbulators on the coolant side so-called turbulators or vortex generators are provided in the form of inwardly directed impressions. These arranged on both sides turbulators do not touch each other, but leave between them a distance, ie a clear channel height for a core flow; they do not act as tie rods. In order to achieve the necessary internal pressure resistance of such flat tubes, These tubes must be designed accordingly thick-walled. This increases the weight and the material consumption.
- Another multi-chamber tube was through the EP 0 637 474 A1 known, wherein the individual chambers are divided by soldered together, extending in the longitudinal direction beads.
- flat tubes are disclosed which are reinforced by knob-like tie rods.
- the turbulators are preferably formed as elongated impressions, which are arranged in rows transversely to the flow direction and arranged at an angle to each other - they form so-called winglet pairs.
- a similar flat tube was through the EP 1 061 319 B1 known, also suitable for a motor vehicle radiator.
- a flat tube equipped with turbulators is designed as a multi-chamber tube, d. H. Has at least two chambers which are separated from each other by a partition wall.
- the turbulators are preferably arranged on both flat sides of the flat tube in each chamber.
- the partitions may advantageously be formed as a web, fold or beads, and the flat tubes are advantageously longitudinal seam welded or soldered by means of a fold.
- the turbulators can have any shape, d. H. oblong or round or angular, d. H. be designed knob-shaped or truncated pyramid, as is already known from the prior art.
- the turbulators extend into the interior of the pipe only so far that a clear channel height is maintained for an undisturbed core flow. This provides the advantage that on the one hand the heat transfer improves, but the pressure drop is not excessively increased.
- the turbulators are preferably arranged only on the flat areas of the longitudinal sides and preferably designed as so-called winglets, which represent an optimum between heat transfer and pressure drop.
- a flat strip which preferably consists of aluminum and Lotplattiert on both sides; it is fed to a tube forming machine, which converts the flat strip into flat tubes in a continuous process.
- a tube forming machine which converts the flat strip into flat tubes in a continuous process.
- each folds are placed on the longitudinal edges, ie edges folded approximately at right angles.
- the turbulators are molded, in a single or multi-stage, preferably two-stage process, ie, first by prefetching a preform and then stamping a final mold.
- a two- or multi-chamber tube is produced, in which the partition or the partitions are formed by beads.
- the turbulators are first formed again in the flat band, preferably in a two-stage process, and then beads are formed between the turbulators. Thereafter, head radii are formed at the longitudinal edges, and the tube is closed so that the beads and the head radii abut each other, the head radii being preferably merged into a butt joint which is longitudinally welded.
- the beads solder - when soldering a heat exchanger block - and thus form tie rods and one or more dense partitions.
- a folding tube is produced by a similar method, which in turn starts from a flat strip and initially forms at least one web which is formed in one or more forming steps out of the flat strip.
- the turbulators are then formed in the flat band, then head radii are formed on the longitudinal edges, which are finally combined to form a butt joint, which is preferably longitudinally welded.
- the bridge soldered to the opposite flat side.
- the head radii are shaped such that when closing the flat tube forms a lap joint or edge-side fold, which can be soldered. This eliminates the welding process.
- the turbulators are produced in a continuous process, d. H. by rolling, wherein the flat strip is passed through a pair of rollers, which has the shape of the turbulators as a die and male.
- the flat tube is used for a motor vehicle heat exchanger, in particular a coolant radiator, which has a brazed block, which consists of flat tubes and corrugated fins.
- a coolant radiator which has a brazed block, which consists of flat tubes and corrugated fins.
- the flat soldered on both sides flat tube can be easily soldered to the corrugated ribs in a block.
- the high degree of slenderness of the flat tube ensures a low air-side pressure drop, on the other hand is given by the partitions in the form of webs, folds or beads the required internal pressure resistance, which is adapted to the prevailing pressures in a coolant circuit.
- the heat transfer of the coolant is improved in the tube, d. H. the cooling capacity of the radiator is increased without the pressure drop, d. H. the pump capacity increases considerably. This is a lighter and more powerful cooler for motor vehicles to produce.
