Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air cooler according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the amount of air which can be supplied to a supercharged combustion engine of a vehicle depends on the pressure of the air but also on the temperature of the air. Supplying the largest possible amount of air to a supercharged combustion engine entails cooling compressed air in a charge air cooler before it is led to the combustion engine.
- the charge air cooler is usually situated in front of the conventional radiator of a vehicle.
- a charge air cooler usually comprises two gathering tanks and a plurality of tubular elements arranged in parallel which connect the gathering tanks. The parallel tubular elements are arranged at a distance from one another so that surrounding cold air can flow between the tubular elements and cool the compressed air in the tubular elements.
- the compressed air can be cooled to a temperature substantially corresponding to the temperature of the surrounding air.
- the cooling effect of the charge air cooler can be increased by fitting inside the tubular elements one or more folded metal sheets, so-called turbulators.
- the metal sheets divide the tubular elements into a plurality of relatively narrow flow paths.
- the metal sheets provide extra contact surface with respect to the compressed air in the tubular elements so that the compressed air can be cooled more effectively.
- the shape of the metal sheets may also be such as to promote turbulent flow of the compressed air. Such flow further increases the cooling effect on the compressed air as it passes through the tubular elements.
- the compressed air in a charge air cooler is cooled to a temperature below the dewpoint temperature of the air.
- Water vapour in the compressed air condenses, with the result that water in liquid form is precipitated inside the charge air cooler .
- the temperature of the surrounding air is very low, there is also risk that water in liquid form may freeze to become ice inside the charge air cooler.
- Such ice formation takes place largely on the surfaces of the metal sheets. As the metal sheets provide relatively narrow flow paths for the compressed air, such situations entail risk that ice may block the flow paths. In such cases the air flow to the combustion engine may be reduced to a level at which operational malfunctions occur.
- US 4246 963 refers to a heat exchanger which is preferably used in aircraft.
- the heat exchanger comprises a cooler package with separate ducts for cold air and for warm air.
- the various ducts are arranged alternately above one another and have a substantially perpendicular extent through the cooler package relative to one another.
- the cold air very often contains crystals of ice.
- Such air being led into the heat exchanger may result in ice formations at the inlet to the cold air ducts.
- Such formations of ice may to a greater or lesser extent stop the flow of cold air through the heat exchanger.
- a tubular beam element is arranged at the inlet to the cold air ducts. Warm air is led in parallel through the tubular beam element and the ordinary ducts for warm air.
- the warm air led through the beam element heats the beam element's outside surface which defines the inlet to the cold air ducts.
- the beam element's outside surface will thus be at a high enough temperature to prevent ice formation at the in
- the object of the present invention is to provide an air cooler so constructed as to ensure that air can be led through the cooler even in circumstances where the air is cooled by a medium which is at a very low temperature.
- Air flow can therefore substantially always be maintained through the air cooler.
- the relatively warm air flowing through the elongate duct also supplies heat to the heat- conducting element. Ice formations on the heat-conducting element can thus gradually be caused to melt, thereby clearing adjacent flow paths.
- said elongate duct is arranged at a front side of the tubular portion with respect to the direction of flow of the medium.
- the medium will initially flow in contact with a surface of the tubular portion. This is where the medium is at its lowest temperature. The most effective cooling of the tubular element thus takes place at said front side.
- Such a location of the elongate duct is often sufficient to provide the air in the duct with fully acceptable cooling without the assistance of a heat transfer element.
- the elongate duct may alternatively be arranged at a rear side of the tubular portion with respect to the direction of flow of the medium.
- the elongate duct may therefore be of a smaller size. It is also possible to arrange the duct in an intermediate portion of the passage with heat transfer elements fitted on mutually opposite sides.
- said passage has a cross-sectional profile with a greater extent in the direction of flow of the medium than in a direction perpendicular to said direction of flow.
- Such a configuration of the tubular element results in a relatively elongate contact surface with respect to the flowing medium, thereby promoting cooling of the air in the tubular element.
- said elongate duct has a cross-sectional profile with substantially the same width as height. If for example the duct has a cross-sectional profile of underdimensioned extent in height or width, there is obvious risk that ice may build up in the direction of underdimensioned extent of the duct in such a way as to block the duct.
- the duct is of overdimensioned extent in one direction, the result is an unnecessarily tall or wide duct.
- Such an overdimensioned duct reduces the number of flow paths, leading to less cooling of the air passing through the tubular element.
- An optimum duct is therefore likely to be of substantially same extent in height and width.
- the cooler comprises a plurality of tubular elements arranged parallel in a row at a distance from one another so that between adjacent tubular elements there are gaps through which the medium is caused to flow.
- the tubular elements may be arranged at a substantially uniform distance from one another. The result is a substantially uniform flow of air in the gaps between adjacent tubular elements. The air is thus cooled to substantially the same temperature in all the tubular elements.
- the tubular element is made of a material which has good heat-conducting characteristics.
- the result is effective heat transfer between the medium outside and the air inside the tubular element.
- the tubular element may be made of aluminium, which has excellent heat- conducting characteristics.
- the heat-conducting element is preferably likewise made of a material which has good heat-conducting characteristics.
- aluminium is a suitable material.
- the heat-conducting element may be made of folded sheet material. Sheet material provides a contact surface which can easily be shaped so that suitable flow paths can be formed in the passage.
- the contact surfaces may be shaped in such a way as to promote turbulent flow through the flow paths.
- the surfaces may for example have a gill-like structure, resulting in still more effective cooling of the air in the tubular element.
- the air cooler is a charge air cooler adapted to cooling air which is at above atmospheric pressure.
- a charge air cooler may be used inter alia in a vehicle to cool compressed air before it is led to a supercharged combustion engine. It is not uncommon for the compressed air to be cooled in the charge air cooler to a temperature below the dewpoint temperature, with the result that water vapour in the air condenses inside the charge air cooler.
- Conventional charge air coolers are usually cooled by surrounding air. If the surrounding air is at a very low temperature, there is also risk that condensate inside the charge air cooler may freeze to become ice.
- the elongate duct according to the invention in the charge air cooler's tubular element makes it possible in substantially all circumstances to maintain sufficient air flow through the charge air cooler for running the supercharged combustion engine.
- Fig. 1 depicts a charge air cooler according to the present invention
- Fig. 2 depicts a cross-section through the charge air cooler along the plane A-A in Fig. 1 and
- Fig. 3 depicts a charge air cooler according to an alternative embodiment.
- Fig. 1 depicts a charge air cooler which may for example be fitted at a front portion of a vehicle which is powered by a supercharged combustion engine.
- a supercharged combustion engine needs a supply of compressed air.
- the function of the charge air cooler is to cool the compressed air before it is led to the combustion engine.
- the charge air cooler comprises an inlet 1 to a first gathering tank 2 for receiving warm compressed air from a compressor.
- the first gathering tank 2 comprises a plurality of internal apertures via which the compressed air can be led to a cooler package 3 which extends between the first gathering tank 2 and a second gathering tank 4.
- the cooler package 3 comprises a plurality of tubular elements 5 which extend in a substantially rectilinear manner between the first gathering tank 2 and the second gathering tank 4.
- the tubular elements 5 are arranged parallel vertically above one another.
- the tubular elements 5 are arranged at a substantially uniform distance from one another so that there are regular gaps 7 between adjacent tubular elements 5. Surrounding air can therefore flow through said gaps 7 between adjacent tubular elements 5.
- the flow of surrounding air through the cooler package 3 can be caused by the vehicle's movement and/or by a radiator fan drawing air through the cooler package 3.
- the second gathering tank 4 comprises internal apertures for receiving cooled compressed air from the respective tubular elements 5.
- the cooled compressed air is led out from the second gathering tank 4 via an outlet 6 before being led through suitable pipelines to the supercharged combustion engine.
- Fig. 2 depicts a cross-sectional view of four tubular elements 5 of the cooler package 3.
- the tubular elements 5 are of identical configuration.
- the tubular elements 5 are made of a material with high thermal conductivity, e.g. aluminium.
- the tubular elements 5 have in cross-section a substantially elongate profile with two mutually opposite long sides 5a, b which are substantially planar.
- the mutually opposite long sides 5a, b are connected by two mutually opposite short sides 5c, d which are of a convex rounded shape outwards.
- the tubular elements 5 have an outside surface 8 which defines a contact surface with surrounding air.
- the tubular elements 5 have an inside surface 9 which defines a passage 10 for the compressed air when it is led between the gathering tanks 2, 4.
- Each of the tubular elements 5 comprises a heat-conducting element 11 which is fastened inside the passage 10 and is in contact with the inside surface 9 at a number of points.
- the heat-conducting element 11 is arranged in the passage 10 in order to increase the cooling contact surface with respect to the compressed air which is led through the passage 10.
- the heat-conducting element 11 is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, e.g. aluminium.
- the heat-conducting element 11 may be made of sheet aluminium folded in such a way as to divide the passage into a plurality of substantially parallel flow paths 12. Each of the flow paths 12 will thus be of relatively limited cross-sectional area.
- the compressed air flowing through the passage 10 in the respective tubular elements 5 is adapted to being cooled by surrounding air.
- the surrounding air has a main direction of flow 14 towards the cooler package 3 which is substantially perpendicular to a plane 15 extending centrally through the tubular elements 5 which are arranged vertically above one another. Part of the surrounding air, however, encounters the forward short side 5 c of a tubular element 5 before it flows through a gap 7 between two adjacent tubular elements 5.
- the surrounding air is usually at a considerably lower temperature than the compressed air in the tubular element 5.
- the tubular elements 5 and the heat transfer element 11 are composed of material with good heat-conducting characteristics, they also provide the inside surface 9 and the heat transfer element 11 of the respective tubular elements 5 with effective cooling.
- the inside surface 9 and the heat transfer element 11 thus provide very effective cooling of the compressed air in the passages 10 of the respective tubular elements 5.
- the compressed air in the charge air cooler may be cooled to a temperature below the dewpoint temperature of the compressed air.
- water vapour in the compressed air condenses, with the result that water in liquid form is precipitated inside the passages 10 of the respective tubular elements 5.
- the temperature of the surrounding air is very low, there is risk that condensate may freeze to become ice inside the passages 10.
- Such ice will form on the inside surface 9 of the tubular elements 5 and on the surfaces of the heat transfer element 11.
- the heat transfer element 11 comprises flow paths 12 with relatively small cross-sectional areas, there is obvious risk that flow paths 12 may to a greater or lesser extent be blocked if ice forms on the surfaces of the heat transfer element 11. Such situations cause operational malfunctions of the combustion engine through insufficient air supply.
- the size of the heat-conducting element 11 is such that it occupies only part of the cross-section of the passage 10 so that a remaining portion of the passage cross-section forms a duct 13 which has a larger cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional areas of the respective individual flow paths 12 formed by the heat-conducting element 11.
- the heat-conducting element 11 is arranged in the passage 10 in such a way that said duct 13 is formed at the forward short side 5 c of the tubular element 5 relative to the direction of flow 14 of the surrounding air.
- the elongate duct 13 has substantially the same height and width.
- the duct 13 should at least not be so narrow in either direction as to increase the risk of the duct 13 becoming frozen up.
- a channel 13 of a suitable size makes it possible substantially always to maintain an air flow through the charge air cooler.
- the compressed air in the duct 13 also provides heat to the heat-conducting element 11. Ice formations on the heat-conducting element 11 can thus gradually be caused to melt so that blocked flow paths 12 can resume their air guiding function.
- Fig. 3 depicts a cross-sectional view of four tubular elements 5 according to an alternative embodiment.
- the heat-conducting element 11 ' is arranged in the passage in such a way that a duct 13' is formed at the rear short side 5d of the tubular element relative to the direction of flow 14 of the surrounding air.
- the elongate duct 13' has a cross-sectional shape with substantially the same height as width.
- the heat-conducting element 11 ' is folded in such a way as to divide the passage into a plurality of substantially parallel flow paths 12' which are of relatively small cross-sectional area.
- the heat-conducting element 11' is also provided with surfaces of protruding portions and apertures, thereby promoting turbulent flow of air through the flow paths 12'.
- the heat-conducting element 11 ' thus provides very effective cooling of the compressed air as it passes through the flow paths 12'.
- the cooling air flow results in a gradually rising temperature along the elongate gap 7.
- the cooling effect at the rear short side 5d of the tubular element is therefore not the same as at the forward short side 5c, thereby further reducing the risk of the duct 13' freezing up.
- a duct 13 ' of a suitable size makes it possible always to maintain an air flow through the charge air cooler.
- the compressed air in the duct 13' also provides heat to the heat-conducting element 11 ' so that existing ice formations on the heat-conducting element 11 ' can be gradually melted.
- a plurality of separate heat-conducting elements may be arranged in the passage.
- the elongate duct may be arranged in any desired portion of the passage.
