Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat exchanger according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a weak point of the known heat exchanger are the tube / bottom connections, which are preferably formed as a solder joint between the tube ends of the tubes and passages of the tube sheet.
- the stress on the pipe / floor connection is manifold: for example, shear and bending forces occur, which are transmitted from the pipe to the tubesheet.
- the corner pipes, d. H. the outer tubes are subjected to increased stress, which can lead to cracks in the pipe ends, in the tubesheet or in the solder joint (solder meniscus) in these pipe / floor connections.
- the tubes and the manifolds are claimed by the internal pressure of the compressed charge air; as well, due to different thermal expansions of the pipes shear and bending stresses in the pipe / floor connections arise.
- DE 103 16 756 A1 of the Applicant has disclosed a charge air cooler with a tube plate and passages into which flat tubes are soldered. Between the long sides of the tubesheet and the narrow sides of the passages are profile strips and soldered to the tube sheet and the passages, whereby a reinforcement of the tubesheet and a reduction of the voltage peaks is achieved. This measure applies in particular to the bending stress occurring in this area.
- a sheet metal part is provided with through openings for the pipe ends, which is arranged on the outside of the tube sheet, that is, the block facing side.
- the sheet metal part includes with its through-openings the circumference of the tubes and is connected to these cohesively.
- the sheet metal part lies flat on the underside of the tube sheet and is in this area connected to the tube bottom cohesively, preferably by soldering. This results in - at least partially for the particularly stressed pipe / floor connections - a force introduction sheet, which evened out and reduces the forces to be transmitted from the pipe into the tube sheet.
- the force introduction plate according to the invention for the corner tubes ie the outer tubes of the block is used, since they are the most stressed.
- the advantage here is that the sheet metal part according to the invention can be produced simply from a sheet metal blank, in some cases with the same tools for the openings, and a can be connected during the soldering process with the tubesheet and tubes. Thus, the critical pipe / floor connections are sufficiently relieved.
- the tubes are designed as flat tubes and the receiving openings of the tube plate as passages.
- the openings for the insertion of the pipe ends in the force introduction plate are also formed as passages.
- the tube sheet is part of an open box profile, as used for example for so-called all-metal or all-aluminum heat exchanger.
- the additional sheet-metal part is designed as a reinforcing or support plate in such a way that it encompasses at least a part of the tube bottom, preferably in the region of a partition and also parts of the two longitudinal sides of the box profile, ie it is adapted to the box profile.
- the tubesheet is slightly curved towards the block side and has inwardly directed passages, between which are convexly outwardly curved portions, which have a crest in longitudinal section through the box section and a crest line in cross section through the crest.
- the reinforcing sheet rests on the crest lines and forms there a contact zone, which preferably serves as a soldering zone.
- a solid cohesive connection between the reinforcing plate and the tubesheet is created, which leads to a significant increase in strength, in particular in the case of internal pressure loading of the box profile.
- the reinforcing plate is recessed in the region of the passages or the flat tubes stuck in the passages and thus has a multiplicity of bandage bands arranged between the tubes or passages, which lie on the apex lines and thus reinforce the tubesheet.
- the reinforcement and stiffening of the tubesheet mean that - A -
- the force introduction or reinforcement plate according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously for intercoolers in which hot, compressed charge air for an internal combustion engine, in particular for motor vehicles, is cooled.
- intercoolers caused by different thermal expansion of the tubes stresses are particularly critical, d. H.
- the force or load introduction plate according to the invention has a particularly advantageous effect on charge air coolers, especially since they are also subject to an increased internal pressure due to the compressed charge air.
- Fig. 3 is a box section with reinforced tube bottom
- Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section through the box section
- Fig. 5 shows a cross section through the box section.
- Fig. 1 shows a corner section of a charge air cooler 1, which comprises a flat tubes 2 and corrugated fins 3 block 4, which is completed by a side part 5 at the outermost corrugated fin 3.
- a tube plate 6 is connected, which has passages 7 for receiving the flat tube ends 2a.
- a flat tube 2 and the side part 5 are cut.
- the pipe ends 2a are soldered to the (in the drawing) upwardly directed passages 7 and form the pipe / floor connection.
- the corrugated fins 3 are soldered to the flat sides of the flat tubes 2, as well as the side part 5 with the corrugated fin 3 and the bottom 6, which has a tab 6 a, which is covered by a claw 5 a of the side part 5.
- a cover or collection box which on the tube sheet. 6 is placed and preferably with the edge region of the tube sheet 6 is soldered.
- a plastic boxes would be possible, which can be connected by a suitable mechanical clamping connection with the tube sheet 6.
- the intercooler 1 corresponds to the prior art.
- a reinforcing plate 8 is on the underside bez. Outside of the bottom 6 (the ribs 3 side facing) a reinforcing plate 8, a so-called load or force introduction plate arranged, which is connected by soldering to the tube bottom 6.
- the reinforcing plate 8 has in the region of the tubes 2 (in the drawing) downwardly directed passages 9, which comprise the tubes 2 and are soldered to the tube ends 2a.
- the tube end 2a is in two pointing in opposite directions passages 7, 9 of the tube plate 6 and the reinforcing plate 8.
- the load introduction plate 8 is preferably provided for the outermost three tubes 2, the so-called corner tubes, because there the highest load occurs.
- the load introduction plate 8 extends over the full width of the tube plate 6 and is adapted to the contour thereof, so that there is a full-surface soldering and thus a well distributed power transmission.
- Fig. 2 shows the load introduction plate 8 as a single part with three passages 9, which are arranged here (in the drawing) on the upper side 8a and formed from the sheet 8.
- the passages 9 are - as known per se - produced by punching punching. Between the passages 9 are - adapted to the bottom contour - flat strips 10, while this transverse outer edges 11, 12 - are slightly curved according to the contour of the tube sheet 6 - to cover the rounding of the tube sheet 6 over the entire surface.
- the passages 9 an inner, circumferential collar 9a, which conforms to the outer °iety the flat tube ends 2a and allows a circumferential, flat soldering. About this soldering surface, the forces and moments from the pipe are first transferred to the reinforcing plate 8 and then to the tube sheet 6.
- the installation of the load introduction plate 8 is very simple: after the completion of the block 4 (cassette of tubes 2 with ribs 3) the load introduction plates 8 are placed on the tube ends 2a, preferably the corner tubes, in such a way that the passages 9 in the direction the corrugated fins 3 point. Thereafter, the tube sheet 6 is attached, so that the protruding tube ends 2a are inserted through the passages 7 of the tube sheet 6. Subsequently, the preassembled unit - possibly with solderable collecting tank - spent in a soldering furnace, not shown, and soldered there, so that the passages 7 and 9 with the tube ends 2a and the force introduction plate 8 with the tube sheet 6 enter into a solder joint.
- Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the invention for an all-metal or all-aluminum heat exchanger, of which only an open box section 20 is shown, which has two longitudinal sides 21, 22 and a slightly curved tube plate 23 with inwardly directed passages 24.
- the box section 20 is finally closed by a cover, not shown, and then serves as a collection or distribution box for the heat exchanger, the flat tubes, not shown, are absorbed by the passages 24.
- a heat exchanger in all-aluminum construction is completely soldered and preferably serves as a charge air cooler for motor vehicles.
- the open box section 20 is divided longitudinally by a partition 25 which is inserted into the profile and soldered to it.
- the tube plate 23 is covered by a reinforcing plate 26 which is adapted to the box profile 20 and which has lateral tabs 26a, 26b which rest on the longitudinal side 21.
- the reinforcing plate 26, also called a support plate, has in the region of the passages 24 recesses 28 and a plurality of mutually parallel bandage bands 26c, which are each arranged between the passages 24 and there contacting and supporting the tube plate 23.
- the corresponding contact surfaces which are not visible in FIG. 3, will be described in more detail below.
- FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal section through the box section 20 according to FIG. 3 in the region of the tube bottom 23, which in each case has convexly outwardly curved regions 27 with a vertex 27a between the passages 24.
- the passages 24 are recognizable inwardly directed.
- the bandage bands 26c of the reinforcing plate 26 have a straight cross section in the longitudinal sectional view and contact the convex portions 27 in the region of the apex 27a and - viewed in cross section - along a check line which extends perpendicular to the plane through the apex 27a. This results in a over the entire width of the tube sheet 23, d. H.
- the reinforcing plate 26 is soldered to the tubesheet 23 and the sidewalls 21, 22, resulting in very good Lötkonditionen between the convex portions 27 and the flat portions of the bandage bands 26c, so that a corresponding Lötmeniskus can form.
- Fig. 5 shows the box section 20 in a cross section, wherein the inwardly directed passages 24 are clearly visible. Below the passages, the convex portions 27 are recognizable as a dished strip, with the apex line 27a '. Immediately adjacent to the apex line 27a, the bandage bands 26c of the reinforcing plate 26 are arranged, which are claimed in deformation of the tube plate 23 to train and laterally supported on the lugs 26a, 26d on the longitudinal sides 21, 22.
