Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmeübertrager gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 und eine Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlage gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 11.The invention relates to a heat exchanger according to the preamble of
Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlagen dienen dazu, die dem Innenraum eines Kraftfahrzeuges zuzuführende Luft zu erwärmen und/oder zu kühlen. In Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlagen werden Wärmeübertrager als elektrische Heizeinrichtungen eingesetzt, um die Luft zu erwärmen, welche dem Innenraum zugeführt wird. Die elektrische Heizeinrichtung umfasst PTC-Elemente. PTC-Elemente (PTC: Positive Temperature Coefficient) sind Strom leitende Materialien, die einen elektrischen Widerstand aufweisen und bei tieferen Temperaturen den Strom besser leiten können als bei höheren Temperaturen. Ihr elektrischer Widerstand vergrößert sich somit bei steigender Temperatur. Das PTC-Element besteht im Allgemeinen aus Keramik und ist ein Kaltleiter. Dadurch stellt sich unabhängig von den Randbedingungen - wie z. B. angelegte Spannung, Nominalwiderstand oder Luftmenge an dem PTC-Element - eine sehr gleichmäßige Oberflächentemperatur am PTC-Element ein. Eine Überhitzung kann verhindert werden wie sie z. B. mit einem normalen Wärme abgebenden Heizdraht auftreten könnte, da hier unabhängig von den Randbedingungen immer ungefähr der gleiche Widerstand und dadurch eine im Wesentlichen identische elektrische Heizleistung aufgebracht wird.Motor vehicle air conditioning systems are used to heat and / or cool the air to be supplied to the interior of a motor vehicle. In motor vehicle air conditioning systems, heat exchangers are used as electrical heating devices in order to heat the air that is supplied to the interior. The electrical heating device comprises PTC elements. PTC elements (PTC: Positive Temperature Coefficient) are current-conducting materials that have an electrical resistance and can conduct electricity better at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. Their electrical resistance increases as the temperature rises. The PTC element generally consists of ceramic and is a PTC thermistor. This means that regardless of the boundary conditions - such as B. applied voltage, nominal resistance or air volume on the PTC element - a very even surface temperature on the PTC element. Overheating can be prevented as it can e.g. B. could occur with a normal heat-emitting heating wire, since here, regardless of the boundary conditions, approximately the same resistance and thus an essentially identical electrical heating power is applied.
Der Wärmeübertrager umfasst PTC-Elemente, wenigstens zwei elektrische Leiter mittels denen elektrischer Strom durch das PTC-Element geleitet wird und Wärmeleitelemente, insbesondere Lamellen bzw. Wellrippen, mittels denen die Oberfläche zum Erwärmen der Luft vergrößert wird. In zunehmenden Maße werden Kraftfahrzeuge hergestellt, welche über einen ausschließlichen elektrischen Antrieb oder über einen Hybridantrieb verfügen. Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlagen für diese Kraftfahrzeuge verfügen im Allgemeinen nicht mehr über einen Wärmeaustauscher zum Erwärmen der Luft, der von Kühlflüssigkeit durchströmt wird. Die gesamte Heizleistung der Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlage muss deshalb von der elektrischen Heizeinrichtung bzw. den PTC-Elementen aufgebracht werden. Aus diesem Grund ist es erforderlich, die PTC-Elemente auch mit Hochspannung, z. B. im Bereich von 50 bis 600 Volt anstelle von Niederspannung mit 12 Volt, zu betreiben. Hochspannung in einer Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlage stellt jedoch ein Sicherheitsproblem dar, weil beispielsweise durch eine menschliche Berührung von unter Hochspannung stehenden Teilen dem Menschen von der Hochspannung gesundheitlicher Schaden zugefügt werden kann.The heat exchanger comprises PTC elements, at least two electrical conductors by means of which electrical current is passed through the PTC element and heat conducting elements, in particular fins or corrugated fins, by means of which the surface for heating the air is enlarged. Increasingly, motor vehicles are being produced which have an exclusively electric drive or a hybrid drive. Motor vehicle air conditioning systems for these motor vehicles generally no longer have a heat exchanger for heating the air through which the cooling liquid flows. The entire heating output of the motor vehicle air conditioning system must therefore be provided by the electrical heating device or the PTC elements. For this reason it is necessary to also use the PTC elements with high voltage, e.g. B. in the range of 50 to 600 volts instead of low voltage with 12 volts to operate. However, high voltage in a motor vehicle air conditioning system poses a safety problem because, for example, human contact with parts that are under high voltage can cause damage to human health from the high voltage.
Die
Aus der
Die
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, einen Wärmeübertrager und eine Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlage zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem ein mit elektrischen Strom unter Hochspannung, z. B. mehr als 50 V, betriebener Wärmeübertrager ohne Gefährdung für die Umwelt, insbesondere Menschen, betrieben werden kann. Der Wärmeübertrager und die Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlage sollen in der Herstellung preiswert sein zuverlässig im Betrieb arbeiten.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a heat exchanger and a motor vehicle air conditioning system in which an electric current under high voltage, for. B. more than 50 V, operated heat exchanger without endangering the environment, especially people, can be operated. The heat exchanger and the motor vehicle air conditioning system should be inexpensive to manufacture and operate reliably.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of
In den Rohren, welche den Hohlraum einschließen sind wenigstens ein elektrisches Isolierelement, wenigstens ein elektrisches Widerstandsheizelement als PTC-Element, vorzugsweise mehrere Widerstandsheizelemente, und die zwei Leiter angeordnet. Dabei weist das wenigstens eine Rohr am oberen Ende nur eine Rohröffnung auf und im übrigen Bereich des Rohres, insbesondere an einem unteren Ende des Rohres, ist das Rohr fluiddicht verschlossen, z. B. mittels einer Auflageplatte bzw. Deckelplatte oder aufgrund der Ausbildung des Rohres. Somit weist das Rohr als einzigste Öffnung nur die (obere) Rohröffnung auf, durch welche Fluide in dem von dem Rohr eingeschlossenen Hohlraum eindringen können. Dabei weist der Wärmeübertrager vorzugsweise mehrere Rohre auf und die oberen Enden der Rohre mit den Rohröffnungen sind dabei an den Öffnungen der Adapterplatte angeordnet, so dass aufgrund der fluiddichten Anordnung der Rohre an der Adapterplatte ausschließlich durch die Öffnungen der Adapterplatte und die Rohröffnungen in den Hohlraum ein Fluid gelangen könnte. Dabei dient die Adapterplatte dazu, ein Elektronikgehäuse fluiddicht mit der Adapterplatte zu verbinden, so dass dadurch die Hohlräume der Rohre vollständig gegenüber der Umgebung abgedichtet sind, weil das Elektronikgehäuse fluiddicht mit der Adapterplatte verbunden ist. Die Adapterplatte dient somit als Schnittstelle zur Verbindung mit anderen Bauteilen, einem Elektronikgehäuse für eine Elektronik, insbesondere eine Leistungselektronik, und einem Klimaanlagengehäuse. Dadurch können die Komponenten, welche in dem von dem Rohr eingeschlossenen Hohlraum angeordnet sind, dauerhaft fluiddicht abgedichtet werden und ferner ist die Zuführung von elektrischem Strom zu den elektrischen Widerstandsheizelementen gewährleistet. Beispielsweise weist das mit der Adapterplatte fluiddicht verbundene Elektronikgehäuse Kontaktelemente auf, mit denen elektrischer Strom zu den Widerstandsheizelementen geleitet werden kann, vorzugsweise zwei Kontaktelemente, und wenigstens eine oder vorzugsweise zwei Steuerstromkontaktelemente, mit denen die Leistung der Widerstandsheizelemente mit Hilfe der in dem Elektronikgehäuse angeordneten Elektronik gesteuert und/oder geregelt werden kann. Dabei sind diese Kontaktelemente und vorzugsweise Steuerstromkontaktelemente fluiddicht gegenüber dem Elektronikgehäuse abgedichtet, so dass die Hohlräume bezüglich der Umgebung fluiddicht abgedichtet sind.At least one electrical insulating element, at least one electrical resistance heating element as a PTC element, preferably several resistance heating elements, and the two conductors are arranged in the tubes which enclose the cavity. The at least one tube has only one tube opening at the upper end and in the remaining area of the tube, in particular at a lower end of the tube, the tube is closed in a fluid-tight manner, e.g. B. by means of a support plate or cover plate or due to the design of the tube. Thus, the pipe only has the (upper) pipe opening as its only opening, through which fluids can penetrate into the cavity enclosed by the pipe. The heat exchanger preferably has several tubes and the upper ends of the tubes with the tube openings are arranged at the openings of the adapter plate, so that, due to the fluid-tight arrangement of the tubes on the adapter plate, they can enter the cavity exclusively through the openings in the adapter plate and the tube openings Fluid could get. The adapter plate serves to connect an electronics housing to the adapter plate in a fluid-tight manner, so that the cavities of the tubes are completely opposite the environment are sealed because the electronics housing is fluid-tightly connected to the adapter plate. The adapter plate thus serves as an interface for connecting to other components, an electronics housing for electronics, in particular power electronics, and an air conditioning system housing. As a result, the components which are arranged in the cavity enclosed by the tube can be permanently sealed in a fluid-tight manner and, furthermore, the supply of electrical current to the electrical resistance heating elements is ensured. For example, the electronics housing connected to the adapter plate in a fluid-tight manner has contact elements with which electrical current can be conducted to the resistance heating elements, preferably two contact elements, and at least one or preferably two control current contact elements, with which the output of the resistance heating elements is controlled with the aid of the electronics arranged in the electronics housing and / or can be regulated. In this case, these contact elements and preferably control current contact elements are sealed fluid-tight with respect to the electronics housing, so that the cavities are sealed fluid-tight with respect to the environment.
In einer ergänzenden Ausführungsform ist das Rohr außenseitig mit der Adapterplatte fluiddicht verbunden.In a supplementary embodiment, the tube is connected to the adapter plate on the outside in a fluid-tight manner.
Vorzugsweise entspricht die Geometrie des wenigstens einen Rohres außenseitig an dem Ende mit der Rohröffnung der Geometrie der Öffnung der Adapterplatte.The geometry of the at least one tube on the outside at the end with the tube opening preferably corresponds to the geometry of the opening of the adapter plate.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform besteht die Adapterplatte wenigstens teilweise, insbesondere vollständig, aus Metall, z. B. Aluminium, Stahl oder Edelstahl, oder aus, vorzugsweise thermoplastischen, Kunststoff und/oder nur durch die Öffnung der Adapterplatte und die Rohröffnung besteht eine Verbindung in den von dem wenigstens einen Rohr begrenzten Hohlraum hinsichtlich des wenigstens einen Rohres und der Adapterplatte und/oder zwischen der Adapterplatte und dem Elektronikgehäuse und/oder zwischen der Adapterplatte und dem Klimaanlagengehäuse ist ein Dichtungselement angeordnet und insbesondere ist das Dichtungselement eine Dichtung, z. B. eine O-Ringdichtung, oder Klebstoff oder Silikon.

Die Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlage 24 ist somit nicht mit einem von Kühlmittel durchströmten Wärmeaustauscher versehen zum Erwärmen der durch die Kraftfahrzeuganlage 24 geleiteten Luft. Die durch die Kraftfahrzeugklimaanlage 24 geleitete Luft wird ausschließlich mittels des Wärmeübertrager 1 elektrisch erwärmt.

Die beiden Leiterplatten 6, 7 sind somit vollständig von den beiden Formdichtungen 23 eingeschlossen, weil die Formdichtungen 23 an den Rändern außerhalb der Aussparung 14 unmittelbar aufeinanderliegen und dabei aufgrund ihrer elastischen Eigenschaften auch abdichten. Dadurch sind die beiden Leiterplatten 6, 7 mit den dazwischen angeordneten drei PTC-Elementen 3 aufgrund der elektrischen Isolation der Formdichtungen 23 elektrisch isoliert und außerdem fluiddicht aufgrund der Dichtungseigenschaften der beiden aufeinanderliegenden Formdichtungen 23 abgeschlossen. Die elektrische Kontaktierung der beiden Leiterplatten 6, 7 erfolgt mittels nicht dargestellter elektrischer Leitungen an den Kontaktplatten 5. Die beiden Leiterplatten 6, 7 mit den drei PTC-Elementen 10 stellen dabei eine Heizeinheit 10 dar. Nach dem Umschließen der Heizeinheit 10 mit den beiden Formdichtungen 23 bilden diese einen Heizverbund 8. Nach dem Einbringen des Heizverbundes 8 in die Flachrohre 13 mit den Wellrippen 12 liegt ein Heizregister 9 bzw. der Wärmeübertrager 1 vor. Mehrere Heizregister 9 gemäß der Darstellung in

Insgesamt betrachtet sind mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Wärmeübertrager 1 wesentliche Vorteile verbunden. Die einzelnen Heizregister 9 des Wärmeübertragers 1 können mit der Adapterplatte 34 mechanisch zu einem Wärmeübertrager 1 mit einer Vielzahl von Heizregistern 9 verbunden werden. Dabei sind die Heizregister 9 bzw. die Rohre 18 der Heizregister 9 an den Öffnungen 39 der Adapterplatte 34 fluiddicht angeordnet, so dass dadurch in einfacher Weise eine fluiddichte Abdichtung der Heizregister 9 bezüglich der Umgebung möglich ist. An der Adapterplatte 34 ist ein Elektronikgehäuse 43 fluiddicht angebracht und dadurch ist eine dauerhafte elektrische Isolierung des Wärmeübertragers 1 mit einem geringen technischen Aufwand ermöglicht. Dadurch ist ein dauerhafter Berührungsschutz der elektrisch leitenden Teile des Wärmeübertragers 1 möglich.Viewed overall, the
