Fig. 1 zeigt eine beispielhafte Gestaltung einer erfindungsgemäßen Wärmetauschereinheit 1 in teilweise schematischer Ansicht. Fig. 1 shows an exemplary design of a heat exchanger unit 1 according to the invention in a partially schematic view.

Die Wärmetauschereinheit weist einen ersten Wärmetauscher 10 auf, der als Kühlmittelkühler für ein Kraftfahrzeug gestaltet ist, sowie einen zweiten Wärmetauscher 12, der als Klimakondensator für ein Kraftfahrzeug gestaltet ist. Gezeigt ist ferner ein erstes Sammelrohr 14 des zweiten Wärmetauscher 12, das hier im Querschnitt senkrecht zu seiner Längsachse zweiteilig gestaltet ist, jedoch auch einteilig gestaltet sein kann. Im Querschnitt senkrecht zur Längsachse weist dieses erste Sammelrohr des zweiten Wärmetauschers 12 eine im Wesentlichen kreisringförmige Gestalt auf. Ferner ist ein Wärmetauscherblock 16 gezeigt, der eine Vielzahl von als Flachrohre gestalteten Verbindungsrohre für den ersten Wärmetauscher 10 aufweist sowie eine Vielzahl von Verbindungsrohren für den zweiten Wärmetauscher 12.The heat exchanger unit has a first heat exchanger 10, which is designed as a coolant radiator for a motor vehicle, and a second heat exchanger 12, which is designed as a climate condenser for a motor vehicle. Shown is also a first manifold 14 of the second heat exchanger 12, which is designed here in cross-section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis in two parts, but may also be designed in one piece. In cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of this first manifold of the second heat exchanger 12 has a substantially annular shape. Further, a heat exchanger block 16 is shown, which has a plurality of designed as flat tubes connecting tubes for the first heat exchanger 10 and a plurality of connecting tubes for the second heat exchanger 12th

Die Verbindungsrohre 18 verbinden das erste Sammelrohr 20 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 mit einem nicht dargestellten zweiten Sammelrohr des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 strömungstechnisch. In einer Bodenwand 22, die Bestandteil eines sich um die Längsachse 24 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 erstreckenden Mantelwand 26 ist, und im zweiten Sammelrohr des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 zugewandt ist, ist eine Vielzahl von Öffnungen bzw. Schlitzen zur Aufnahme der Sammelrohre 18, die dem ersten Wärmetauscher 10 zugeordnet sind, vorgesehen. Diese Schlitze 28 sind bezüglich der Breite 30, die schematisch durch den Pfeil 32 angedeutet ist, asymmetrisch angeordnet. Diese Asymmetrie ist so, dass ihre jeweilige Mittelachse, die schematisch durch das Bezugszeichen 34 angedeutet ist, näher an dem zweiten Ende 36 der Bodenwand 22 angeordnet ist, als der am anderen Ende gelegenen ersten Ende 38 der Bodenwand.The connecting tubes 18 connect the first manifold 20 of the first heat exchanger 10 with a second manifold of the first heat exchanger 10, not shown, fluidically. In a bottom wall 22, which is part of a jacket wall 26 extending around the longitudinal axis 24 of the first heat exchanger 10, and faces in the second header of the first heat exchanger 10, a plurality of openings or slots for receiving the headers 18, the first Heat exchanger 10 are assigned, provided. These slots 28 are asymmetrical with respect to the width 30, which is schematically indicated by the arrow 32 arranged. This asymmetry is such that its respective central axis, schematically indicated by reference numeral 34, is positioned closer to the second end 36 of the bottom wall 22 than the first end 38 of the bottom wall located at the other end.

An das zweite Ende 36 der Bodenwand 22 schließt sich ein zweiter Wandbereich 40 an, der sich an der durch den Pfeil 42 angedeuteten Seite der Bodenwand 22 erstreckt, die dem zweiten Sammelrohr des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 abgewandt ist. Ferner erstreckt sich vom ersten Ende 38 des ersten Sammelrohres 20 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 ein erster Wandabschnitt bzw. eine erste Wand 44, ebenfalls auf der dem zweiten Sammelrohr des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 abgewandten Seite der Bodenwand 22.At the second end 36 of the bottom wall 22, a second wall portion 40 connects, which extends at the indicated by the arrow 42 side of the bottom wall 22, which faces away from the second manifold of the first heat exchanger 10.

Die Wand 44 sowie die Bodenwand 22 sind jeweils eben gestaltet, und stehen im Wesentlichen senkrecht aufeinander. Die Wand 44 entfernt sich - in Richtung der Breite 32 der Bodenwand 22 gesehen - zunehmend vom ersten Ende 38 der Bodenwand, wenn man - wie durch den Pfeil 50 schematisch angedeutet - sich entlang dieser zweiten Wand in der senkrecht zur Längsachse 24 gelegenen Ebene zunehmend dem ersten Ende 36 der Bodenwand annähert. Die der Bodenwand 22 gegenüber gelegene Wand 52 der Mantelwand 26 ist im Wesentlichen eben gestaltet.The wall 44 and the bottom wall 22 are each designed planar, and are substantially perpendicular to each other. The wall 44 moves away - seen in the direction of the width 32 of the bottom wall 22 - progressively from the first end 38 of the bottom wall, if - as indicated schematically by the arrow 50 - along this second wall in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 24 increasingly the first end 36 of the bottom wall approximates. The bottom wall 22 opposite wall 52 of the jacket wall 26 is designed substantially flat.

In der Gestaltung gemäß Fig. 1 a ist die Wand 40 konvex gekrümmt.In the design according to Fig. 1 a, the wall 40 is convexly curved.

In Fig. 1a ist die Wand 44 in demontiertem Zustand gezeigt.In Fig. 1a the wall 44 is shown disassembled.

Im senkrecht zur Längsachse 24 des ersten Sammelrohrs 20 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 gelegenen Querschnitt ist die Umfangswand 26 hier also zweiteilig gestaltet, und weist ein erstes, im Wesentlichen U-förmiges Teil auf, das die Bodenwand 22, die zweite Wand 40 sowie die der Bodenwand 22 gegenüber gelegene Wand 52 aufweist.In the transverse to the longitudinal axis 24 of the first manifold 20 of the first heat exchanger 10 cross section, the peripheral wall 26 is thus designed in two parts, and has a first, substantially U-shaped part, the bottom wall 22, the second wall 40 and the bottom wall 22 opposite wall 52 has.

Das zweite Teil dieser zweiteiligen Gestaltung weist im Wesentlichen die erste Wand 54 auf, die allerdings an ihren Enden im Wesentlichen senkrecht abgewinkelte Flansche 54, 56 aufweist, die im montierten Zustand überlappend mit den Endbereichen der Bodenwand 22, bzw. der der Bodenwand gegenüber liegenden Wand 52 angeordnet sind.The second part of this two-part design essentially has the first wall 54, which, however, has at its ends substantially perpendicularly angled flanges 54, 56, which overlap in the mounted state are arranged with the end portions of the bottom wall 22, and the bottom wall of the opposite wall 52.

Die Verbindung kann beispielsweise durch Löten oder durch Schweißen, oder durch Laserschweißen oder mit einem anderen geeigneten Verbindungsverfahren erfolgen.The connection can be made for example by soldering or by welding, or by laser welding or by another suitable connection method.

An den beiden Axialendseiten des ersten Sammelrohrs 20 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 ist im montierten Zustand ein axialer Abschlussdeckel 56 vorgesehen, der hier auch demontiert gezeigt ist. Auch dieser Deckel kann beispielsweise mit dem genannten Verbindungsverfahren angebracht werden.At the two Axialendseiten of the first manifold 20 of the first heat exchanger 10, an axial end cover 56 is provided in the assembled state, which is also shown here disassembled. Also, this cover can be attached, for example, with the said connection method.

Ferner ist in Fig. 1a ein Stutzen 58 gezeigt, der in die erste Wand, bzw. eine dort vorgesehene Öffnung 60, mündet, und somit strömungstechnisch mit dem Innenrohr des ersten Sammelrohres 20 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 verbunden ist.Furthermore, in Fig. 1a a stub 58 is shown, which opens into the first wall, or an opening 60 provided there, and is thus fluidly connected to the inner tube of the first manifold 20 of the first heat exchanger 10.

Wie durch die gestrichelte Linie 66 angedeutet, hat die zweite Wand 40, die konvex gekrümmt gestaltet ist, eine strömungsleitende Funktion, so dass sie in Fluidmittelfluss des durch die Einlassöffnung 58 einströmenden Fluids in Richtung der Verbindungsrohre bzw. Flachrohre 18, bzw. der in den Bodenwand 22 vorgesehenen Schlitze 66 fördert.

  • Fig. 1b zeigt die Gestaltung gemäß Fig. 1 in montiertem Zustand.
  • Fig. 1c zeigt eine Draufsicht der Gestaltung gemäß Fig. 1b. Dort ist insbesondere auch zu erkennen, dass das Sammelrohr 14 des ersten Wärmetauschers 12 im senkrecht zur Längsachse gelegenen Querschnitt zweiteilig gestaltet ist. Ferner ist in Fig. 1c gut zu erkennen, dass die Mittelachse 34 der Verbindungs- bzw. Flachrohre 18 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10 näher an dem zweiten Ende 36 der Bodenwand 22 gelegen ist, als an dem ersten Ende 38 dieser Bodenwand.
As indicated by the dashed line 66, the second wall 40, which is designed convexly curved, has a flow-guiding function, so that they fluid fluid flow of the inflowing through the inlet opening 58 fluid in the direction of the connecting tubes or flat tubes 18, or in the Bottom wall 22 provided slots 66 promotes.
  • Fig. 1b shows the design according to Fig. 1 in assembled condition.
  • Fig. 1c shows a plan view of the design according to Fig. 1b , There, it can also be seen in particular that the collecting tube 14 of the first heat exchanger 12 is designed in two parts in the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Furthermore, in Fig. 1c It can be clearly seen that the central axis 34 of the connecting or flat tubes 18 of the first heat exchanger 10 is located closer to the second end 36 of the bottom wall 22 than at the first end 38 of this bottom wall.

Dies ist dadurch verdeutlicht, indem der Abstand a den Abstand zwischen dieser Mittellinie 34 und dem ersten Ende 36 verdeutlicht, und der Abstand b den Abstand zwischen dieser Mittellinie 34 und dem ersten Ende 38. In der Gestaltung gemäß Fig. 1c ist ferner gezeigt, ein erstes Sammelrohr 20 des ersten Wärmetauschers 10, das Sammelrohr 14 des zweiten Wärmetauschers 12 kontaktiert, was allerdings auch anders gegeben sein kann, und insbesondere mit geringem Abstand.This is illustrated by the distance a clarifying the distance between this center line 34 and the first end 36, and the distance b the distance between this center line 34 and the first end 38. In the design according to Fig. 1c is further shown, a first manifold 20 of the first heat exchanger 10, the manifold 14 of the second heat exchanger 12 contacted, which, however, may also be given differently, and in particular at a small distance.
