Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Heat exchangers are used, for example, as condensers in a coolant circuit of motor vehicle air conditioning systems to cool and liquefy gaseous, superheated refrigerant to a liquefaction temperature or below. The heat extracted from the refrigerant is released to the environment.
  • the refrigerant is directed through a plurality of tubular members which terminate at their respective opposite ends in header pipes, one of which is preferably fluidly connected to a header tank.
  • the interfaces of the capacitor, z. B. between manifold and sump, are usually connected to each other by means of soldering to provide a sufficient and lasting tightness between the individual components. If the headers and / or sumps are made of welded tubes, their surface may already be provided with a solderable coating so that they can be joined together These components by means of a soldering process (eg in the soldering oven) only an additional flux is necessary. However, extruded headers and sumps are also used in the art.
  • DE 10 2007 018 722 A1 describes a condenser for the air conditioning of a motor vehicle having two manifolds and arranged adjacent to one of the headers container for receiving the drying means of the refrigerant of the air conditioner, wherein the collecting tube and the container are connected by means of at least two flow openings.
  • the container is formed from an extruded tube.
  • profile elements are used in the prior art, which have the flow openings and which are connected to the sump tube. These profile elements can be manufactured as an extrusion.
  • connection flange is manufactured by extrusion.

  • a fixation of the ring on the outer circumference of the sump tube during soldering in the soldering oven would be necessary and possibly the solder does not flow into the gap to be filled between the profile element and the sump tube.
  • the second alternative is disadvantageous in relation to an additional processing step of the profile element required for this purpose, and there is moreover the risk that the solder will flow off to the sealing surface of the profile element.
  • a heat exchanger in particular a condenser for a motor vehicle, which has a block which has a multiplicity of tubular elements which respectively open at at least one pipe end or at both pipe ends into a collecting pipe which is in fluid communication with a collecting container and which Container consists of at least one profile element and an extruded collection container tube, wherein the compound of the profile element and the collection container tube is a solder joint, which takes place via a cylindrical element arranged in the profile element.
  • the cylindrical element is arranged in an end portion of the profile element.

  • the tapered inward portion of the end portion terminates at a first stepped portion in which the end portion of the profile member is formed as a hollow cylinder, wherein the inner diameter of the first stepped portion is smaller than the smallest inner diameter of the conically inwardly tapering portion. Due to the reduced inner diameter of the first stepped portion relative to the inwardly tapered portion of the inserted into the end portion of the profile element collecting container tube can be held or fixed therein by means of press fit.
  • the first stepped portion terminates at a second stepped portion in which the end portion of the profile member is formed as a hollow cylinder, wherein the inner diameter of the second stepped portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the first stepped portion.
  • cylindrical element is arranged in the tapering section of the end section of the profile element.
  • the cylindrical member abuts a first step of the first stepped portion.
  • the first stage thus advantageously forms a stop or a contact surface for the cylindrical element.
  • the cylindrical element is formed as a ring, which has a base body which is provided with a coating of a solderable material.
  • the coating has a flux.
  • the sump is formed as a tubular member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion of the tubular member being inserted into the end portion of the profile member.
  • the end portion of the tubular element is pressed into the first stepped portion of the profile element.
  • the end portion of the tubular member abuts a second step of the second stepped portion of the profile member.
  • the second stage advantageously forms a stop or abutment surface for the end portion of the tubular element inserted in the profiled element.
  • the second portion of the cylindrical member abuts at least a portion on the outer periphery of the tubular member. This provides for a particularly reliable sealing of the two components or the connection of the two components.
  • the profile element has at least one overflow opening, in particular two overflow openings.
  • Fig. 1 is a view of a heat exchanger 1 according to the prior art.
  • the heat exchanger 1 comprises a block 2, which has a plurality of parallel tube elements 3, which are formed as flat tubes.

  • cooling or corrugated fins can be formed between the tubular elements 3, through which air is passed through during operation of the condenser or heat exchanger 1.
  • the respective pipe ends 4 of the pipe elements 3 open on opposite end faces in each case a collecting pipe 7, wherein only one side is shown here.
  • the collecting tube 7 is formed with a multiplicity of openings 8, which essentially correspond in size and shape to the size and shape of the tube elements 3 or the tube ends 4 of the tube elements 3.
  • a sump 100 is attached to the block 2 via a fastener 6.
  • the sump 100 is formed of a sump tube 5 and a profile member 9 so that it communicates with the sump 7, as related to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 will be further described, is connected.
  • Fig. 2 shows a partially sectioned view of a profile element 9 according to one embodiment.
  • the profile element 9 serves as a connecting piece between the in Fig. 1 illustrated manifold 7 and also in Fig. 1
  • the collecting element 9 is produced as an extruded component and has two overflow openings 10, 10 'in order to provide a fluid connection to the collecting pipe 7 or to the pipe elements 3 opening into the collecting pipe 7.

  • the end section 11 of the profile element 9 has an inner wall 12, which can be subdivided essentially into three areas is.
  • the inner wall 12 is formed to taper inwardly from an outer end 13 of the end portion 11 and the profile member 9, respectively, with the tapered portion 14 terminating at a first step 15.
  • a first stepped portion 16 connects, the inner diameter at this first stepped portion 16 being smaller than the smallest diameter of the inwardly tapering portion 14.
  • the first stepped portion 16 terminates at a second Stage 17.
  • the second stage 17 is adjoined by a second stepped portion 18, whose inner diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the first stepped portion 16.
  • the first stepped portion 16 and the second stepped portion 18 are each formed as a hollow cylinder.
  • Fig. 3 shows that in Fig. 2 illustrated profile element 9, which in turn is shown only in the end portion 14 in a sectional view.
  • a cylindrical member 19 is disposed in the end portion 14.
  • the cylindrical member 19 has a first portion 20 which is inserted into the tapered portion 14, wherein the cylindrical member 19 is seated on the first stage 15 and strikes it. With a second portion 21, the cylindrical member 19 protrudes beyond the outer end 13 of the end portion 14 and protrudes therefrom.
