Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abgaswärmeübertrager, umfassend ein Rohrbündel mit abgasführenden Rohren (15) sowie ein, von einem Kühlmittel durchströmtes Gehäuse (2), welches das Rohrbündel umschließt und einen Kühlmitteleinlass (3) und einen Kühlmittelauslass (4) aufweist.The invention relates to an exhaust gas heat exchanger, comprising a tube bundle with exhaust-carrying tubes (15) and a housing (2) through which flows a coolant tube which encloses the tube bundle and has a coolant inlet (3) and a coolant outlet (4).

Bei einem Abgaswärmeübertrager, bei welchem unkontrollierte Bypässe in der Kühlmitelströmung unterbunden werden, ist zwischen dem Rohrbündel und dem Gehäuse (2) zur Einstellung eines Kühlmittelkanals (6, 7) mindestens eine dreidimensionale Kühlmittelleiteinrichtung (5) ausgebildet, wobei der Kühlmitteleinlass (3) in den Kühlmittelkanal (6, 7) mündet.

Figure imgaf001
In an exhaust gas heat exchanger in which uncontrolled bypasses are prevented in the Kühlmitelströmung, between the tube bundle and the housing (2) for adjusting a coolant channel (6, 7) at least a three-dimensional Kühlmittelleiteinrichtung (5) is formed, wherein the coolant inlet (3) in the Coolant channel (6, 7) opens.
