Description
La présente invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur pour gaz, notamment pour les gaz d'échappement d'un moteur.The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for gas, in particular for the exhaust gases of an engine.
L'invention trouve une application particulière dans les échangeurs de recirculation de gaz d'échappement (EGRC) d'un moteur (ci-après encore dénommés échangeur EGR) .The invention finds particular application in exhaust gas recirculation exchangers (EGRC) of an engine (hereinafter still referred to as EGR exchanger).
La configuration actuelle des échangeurs EGR sur le marché correspond à celle d'un échangeur de chaleur métallique généralement fabriqué en acier inoxydable ou en aluminium, voir par example, le
La majorité des composants des deux types d'échangeurs EGR sont métalliques, si bien que les échangeurs sont assemblés par des moyens mécaniques puis soudés au four ou soudées à l'arc ou au laser pour assurer un niveau d'étanchéité adéquat pour l'application envisagée.The majority of the components of both types of EGR exchangers are metallic, so the exchangers are assembled by mechanical means and then oven-welded or arc or laser-welded to provide an adequate level of sealing for the application. considered.
Dans certains cas, l'échangeur EGR peut également comporter des composants fabriqués en plastique, lesquels peuvent remplir une ou plusieurs fonctions sous forme d'une pièce unique.In some cases, the EGR exchanger can also include components made of plastic that can perform one or more functions as a single piece.
Les échangeurs EGR ont pour fonction principale l'échange de chaleur entre les gaz d'échappement et le fluide de refroidissement dans le but de refroidir les gaz. Les échangeurs EGR doivent également remplir d'autres fonctions secondaires, notamment l'assemblage au bloc moteur, le raccord au fluide de refroidissement ou le raccord au circuit d'échappement des gaz.EGR exchangers have the main function of exchanging heat between the exhaust gas and the cooling fluid in order to cool the gases. EGR exchangers must also perform other secondary functions, such as engine block assembly, coolant connection, or exhaust gas connection.
Afin de remplir ces fonctions secondaires, l'échangeur de chaleur intègre différents composants lui conférant ces fonctions. Cela signifie qu'un échangeur EGR doit disposer d'au moins deux raccords au fluide de refroidissement, d'au moins deux raccords aux gaz et d'au moins un élément ou patte de fixation à l'environnement moteur.In order to fulfill these secondary functions, the heat exchanger integrates different components giving it these functions. This means that an EGR exchanger must have at least two connections to the cooling fluid, at least two gas connections and at least one element or bracket to the engine environment.
Actuellement, les différents composants sont généralement joints par soudure au four ou par soudure à l'arc ou au laser. Dans d'autres cas, un composant peut intégrer plus d'une fonction, par exemple une patte de support de l'échangeur EGR sur le bloc moteur et un réservoir de gaz assurant le raccord aux gaz.Currently, the various components are usually joined by welding in the oven or by arc welding or laser welding. In other cases, a component can integrate more than one function, for example a support lug of the EGR exchanger on the engine block and a gas tank connecting the gases.
Du fait de la tendance sur le marché à une réduction des dimensions des moteurs, et à la mise en oeuvre des échangeurs de chaleur EGR non seulement dans les applications dites à haute pression (HP) mais aussi dans les applications dite à basse pression (LP), l'espace disponible pour l'échangeur et ses composants ne cesse de diminuer. Les environnements dans lesquels l'échangeur EGR doit être intégré sont de plus en plus complexes.Due to the trend on the market to a reduction of the dimensions of the engines, and to the implementation of the heat exchangers EGR not only in the so-called high-pressure (HP) applications but also in the so-called low-pressure applications (LP ), the space available for the heat exchanger and its components continues to decrease. The environments in which the EGR exchanger must be integrated are becoming more complex.
Il est donc important de mettre au point des échangeurs EGR compacts dotés de fonctions intégrées susceptibles d'être montés dans l'espace disponibleIt is therefore important to develop compact EGR exchangers with integrated functions that can be mounted in the available space
Il existe sur le marché différentes solutions, tant en plastique qu'en aluminium, qui intègrent différentes fonctions sous forme d'une pièce unique. Il n'est toutefois pas toujours possible de recourir à ces technologies du fait de problèmes de température ou de restrictions imposées par l'environnement dans la mesure où ces solutions présentent des dimensions supérieures à celles d'une solution classique à boitier métallique.There are different solutions on the market, both in plastic and in aluminum, which integrate different functions in the form of a single piece. However, it is not always possible to use these technologies because of temperature problems or restrictions imposed by the environment to the extent that these solutions have dimensions greater than those of a conventional metal case solution.
La présente invention a pour objet un échangeur de chaleur pour gaz, notamment pour les gaz d'échappement d'un moteur, permettant de remédier aux inconvénients des échangeurs connus dans la technique, apte à intégrer diverses fonctions sous forme d'une même pièce de raccord accouplée au boîtier de l'échangeur.The subject of the present invention is a gas heat exchanger, in particular for the exhaust gases of an engine, making it possible to overcome the drawbacks of heat exchangers known in the art, capable of integrating various functions in the form of a single piece of gas. coupling coupled to the heat exchanger housing.
L'échangeur de chaleur pour gaz, notamment pour les gaz d'échappement d'un moteur, objet de la présente invention, comprend un boîtier destiné à la circulation des gaz avec échange de chaleur avec un fluide de refroidissement, des moyens de raccord au circuit du fluide de refroidissement et au moins une pièce formant réservoir de gaz accouplée à l'une des extrémités du boîtier, ladite pièce intégrant au moins une patte de fixation au bloc moteur et des moyens de raccord au circuit des gaz, et est caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de raccord au circuit du fluide de refroidissement sont également intégrés à ladite pièce formant réservoir de gaz.The gas heat exchanger, in particular for the exhaust gas of an engine, which is the subject of the present invention, comprises a housing intended for the circulation of gases with heat exchange with a cooling fluid, means for connecting to the circuit of the cooling fluid and at least one piece forming a gas reservoir coupled to one end of the housing, said part integrating at least one fixing lug to the engine block and connecting means to the gas circuit, and is characterized in that said connecting means to the coolant circuit are also integrated with said gas reservoir part.
La pièce formant réservoir de gaz ainsi obtenue intègre plus de deux fonctions. Dans ce cas, ladite pièce non seulement peut intégrer le raccord du circuit de gaz et la patte de fixation au bloc moteur, comme cela est connu dans l'état de la technique, mais sert également de raccord au circuit du fluide de refroidissement.The gas reservoir part thus obtained incorporates more than two functions. In this case, said part not only can integrate the connection of the gas circuit and the fixing lug to the engine block, as known in the state of the art, but also serves as a connection to the cooling fluid circuit.
Parmi les principaux avantages de l'invention, citons les suivants :
- La pièce formant réservoir de gaz intègre plusieurs composants, et peut donc doter l'échangeur EGR de plusieurs fonctions.
- Le nombre réduit d'opérations d'assemblage nécessaires permet d'améliorer les tolérances finales de la pièce formant réservoir de gaz et de répondre ainsi aux exigences des constructeurs de véhicules.
- La pièce formant réservoir de gaz peut être plus robuste qu'un assemblage de différentes parties plus sensible aux vibrations et à la manipulation.
- La conception de la pièce formant réservoir de gaz peut être plus compacte que l'ensemble de pièces requises pour remplir toutes les fonctions, dans la mesure où il n'est pas nécessaire de tenir compte des exigences minimales de conception et d'assemblage d'un grand nombre de composants ni des tolérances d'accouplement, si bien qu'il est inutile de prévoir un espace libre minimal autour de la pièce ni de caractéristiques particulières ou de surfaces planes permettant l'assemblage (mécanique et/ou soudé), ni une zone libre autour de la pièce permettant l'accès des outils d'assemblage. Ladite pièce selon l'invention répond donc aux exigences des constructeurs liées à l'intégration de l'échangeur EGR au véhicule.
- The gas reservoir part incorporates several components, and can therefore provide the EGR exchanger with several functions.
- The reduced number of assembly operations required makes it possible to improve the final tolerances of the gas tank part and thus meet the requirements of the vehicle manufacturers.
- The gas reservoir piece may be stronger than an assembly of different parts more sensitive to vibration and handling.
- The design of the gas tank part may be more compact than the set of parts required to perform all functions, since it is not necessary to take into account the minimum design and assembly requirements of a large number of components and coupling tolerances, so that there is no need for a minimum free space around the workpiece or special features or flat surfaces for assembly (mechanical and / or welded), or a free zone around the part allowing the access of the assembly tools. Said part according to the invention thus meets the requirements of the manufacturers related to the integration of the EGR exchanger to the vehicle.
De préférence, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz est entièrement fabriquée au moyen d'un procédé de microfusion et de soudure au boîtier de l'échangeur. Il convient à cet égard de respecter certains critères au moment de la conception, cette pièce devant en effet être démoulable.Preferably, the gas reservoir piece is entirely made by means of a process of microfusion and welding to the heat exchanger housing. In this respect, it is necessary to respect certain criteria moment of the design, this piece must indeed be demoldable.
Éventuellement, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz est fabriquée en plusieurs parties si le procédé de démoulage n'est pas réalisable ou s'il s'avère trop complexe, lesdites parties étant soudées entre elles et au boitier de l'échangeur pour assurer l'étanchéité du fluide de refroidissement et des gaz.Optionally, the gas reservoir part is manufactured in several parts if the demolding process is not feasible or if it proves to be too complex, said parts being welded together and to the housing of the exchanger to ensure the sealing of coolant and gases.
Avantageusement, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz peut être fabriquée en acier inoxydable ou en aluminium. La fabrication en aluminium a l'avantage de réduire le coût de la pièce et d'améliorer légèrement le rendement de l'échangeur EGR du fait de la meilleure conductivité de l'aluminium par rapport à celle de l'acier inoxydable.Advantageously, the gas reservoir piece may be made of stainless steel or aluminum. Aluminum fabrication has the advantage of reducing the cost of the part and slightly improving the efficiency of the EGR exchanger due to the better conductivity of aluminum compared to that of stainless steel.
De préférence, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz est fixée au boîtier de l'échangeur au moyen d'un procédé de soudure au four ou de soudure à l'arc ou au laser. Ce type de fixation peut être envisagé même si leurs matériaux constitutifs sont différents, pourvu que ce type de fixation soit réalisable.Preferably, the gas reservoir member is attached to the heat exchanger housing by means of a method of welding in the oven or arc welding or laser welding. This type of attachment can be considered even if their constituent materials are different, provided that this type of attachment is feasible.
En variante, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz peut comporter des orifices permettant de la fixer au boitier de l'échangeur au moyen d'éléments de boulonnerie.In a variant, the gas reservoir part may have orifices enabling it to be fastened to the heat exchanger box by means of bolting elements.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la trajectoire du fluide de refroidissement passe par un conduit intégré à ladite pièce formant réservoir de gaz et raccordé au boîtier de l'échangeur. Dans ce cas, le raccord du fluide de refroidissement ne s'effectue pas par la patte de fixation mais par un conduit ou tube également porté par la pièce formant réservoir de gaz, réalisé directement par microfusion ou sous forme de pièce supplémentaire fixée par divers procédés tels qu'une soudure, un collage ou un assemblage mécanique.According to another embodiment of the invention, the path of the cooling fluid passes through an integrated duct to said gas reservoir part and connected to the heat exchanger housing. In this case, the connection of the cooling fluid is not effected by the fixing lug but by a pipe or tube also carried by the component forming a reservoir. gas, made directly by microfusion or in the form of additional part fixed by various processes such as welding, bonding or mechanical assembly.
Éventuellement, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz comporte un rebord ou une bride raccordable à une interface du circuit des gaz.Optionally, the gas reservoir member has a flange or flange connectable to a gas circuit interface.
De préférence, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz comporte des orifices taraudés permettant la mise en place d'un thermostat pour le fluide de refroidissement.Preferably, the gas reservoir part comprises threaded orifices for setting up a thermostat for the cooling fluid.
Avantageusement, la pièce formant réservoir de gaz comporte un orifice permettant l'évacuation de l'échangeur des gaz piégés dans le circuit du fluide de refroidissement.Advantageously, the gas reservoir part comprises an orifice for evacuation of the exchanger of the trapped gases in the cooling fluid circuit.
