Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a plate heat exchanger made of plastic, in particular an air-to-air plate heat exchanger, with flow channels through which a first and a second medium can flow, for the first medium between individual plates made of plastic that are connected to form a pair of plates and for the second medium are formed between pairs of plates connected to one another to form a stack of plates.
  • Plate heat exchangers of the type mentioned at the beginning i.e. of the generic type, are known per se from the prior art. They are used to transfer heat from a first medium to a second medium. The media can be guided past one another in cocurrent or countercurrent or in cross-flow.
  • the plate heat exchanger provides corresponding flow channels for the first medium on the one hand and for the second medium on the other hand. These are formed between the individual plates of the plate heat exchanger, it being generically provided that these individual plates consist of plastic.
  • two individual plates form a plate pair.
  • the individual plates are spaced apart from one another and form a flow channel for a first medium between them.
  • Two such plate pairs together form a plate stack, the plate pairs being spaced apart from one another, thus creating a flow channel for the second medium is provided.
  • the plate heat exchanger has a plurality of individual plates, individual plates being combined to form pairs of plates and pairs of plates to form a stack of plates.
  • the D1 ( WO 2008/025359 A2 ) discloses a plate heat exchanger which provides flow channels for a first and a second medium.
  • the first flow channel is formed between individual plates connected to form a plate pair and the second flow channel is formed between plate pairs connected to form a plate stack.
  • the connection of the individual plates to a plate pair and the plate pairs to a plate stack takes place by means of pressure welding.
  • the individual plates are first formed by vacuum forming and then joined to one another by pressure welding to form pairs of plates.
  • the pairs of plates are continuously stacked on top of each other and connected to one another by pressure welding.
  • Document D2 ( WO 86/07133 A1 ) describes a plate heat exchanger made of plastic.
  • the flow channels through which a first and a second medium can flow are formed by welding individual plates, with the successive individual plates being rotated 90 degrees and then connected to one another by ultrasonic or radio wave welding. In this case, only flow channels arise between two individual plates connected to one another, but no flow channels that are formed between plate pairs connected to one another to form a stack of plates.
  • the D4 ( US 2001/0032714 A1 ) discloses a plate heat exchanger made of plastic, in which two different individual plates are alternately stacked on top of one another and successively pressure-welded to one another.
  • the D5 ( WO 02/090858 ) describes a plate heat exchanger made of a plastic strip of connected plates. To form the plate heat exchanger, the band is folded in such a way that the connected plates are arranged alternately one above the other. The flow paths for the two different media are formed by successive plates. The individual plate elements are connected to one another by gluing or, preferably, thermal welding.
  • D6 discloses a pair of plates made of plastic for a plate heat exchanger, in which deep-drawn plastic foils are joined to a pair of plates by laser welding.
  • Another citation D9 discloses laser-welded plate pairs, which are stacked to form a plate heat exchanger and then in turn connected to one another by laser welding to form a plate heat exchanger. D9 is silent about the material of the heat exchanger plates.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a manufacturing method that increases the working speed of the manufacturing process and at the same time offers good manufacturing quality for the plastic plate heat exchangers to be manufactured.
  • a process for producing a plate heat exchanger from plastic according to independent claim 1 is proposed to achieve the above-mentioned object.
  • the implementation of the method according to the invention allows a high degree of automation. In contrast to the prior art, faster production is achieved, and this while at the same time protecting the environment, since the use of chemical substances in the form of plastic glue or glue can be dispensed with. In addition, continuous production is permitted since there is no need for intermediate storage for the purpose of drying out or setting the plastic adhesive.
  • the individual plates and the plate pairs are welded to one another along two mutually opposite longitudinal edges. Edge tightness for the media is thus achieved with high accuracy.
  • a plate heat exchanger is created for counter-current, direct-current or cross-flow operation.
  • the plate heat exchanger obtained in this way is particularly suitable as an air-to-air plate heat exchanger.
  • other media can also be used in combination with the plate heat exchanger according to the invention.
  • the plate heat exchanger is made of plastic, it is particularly suitable for media that are highly corrosive.
  • the pairs of plates forming the individual plates are stacked with one another without being connected to form a stack of plates.
  • a laser welding machine is used that is equipped with a welding device that is designed for the simultaneous connection of all the individual plates that make up a stack of plates.
  • a welding device that is designed for the simultaneous connection of all the individual plates that make up a stack of plates.
  • a corresponding receiving device is used for stacking the panels, into which the individual panels to be welded together are gradually inserted to form a stack.
  • the shape of the stack formed in this way corresponds to that of the later heat exchanger.
  • a cage-like arrangement is provided as the receiving device into which the individual plates are inserted to form a stack.
  • This has a bottom and a plurality of guides formed parallel to one another, which, starting from the floor, extend orthogonally to the floor surface provided by the floor. Thanks to these guides, an exact positioning of the individual plates relative to one another is permitted.
  • the guides ensure in particular that the edge edges of adjacent individual plates to be welded to one another are aligned running parallel to one another.
  • a laser welding process is used as the welding process. It is preferred that a laser beam welding the individual plates to one another is guided at an acute angle along plate edges to be welded. This enables welding on the outer edge of two plate edge edges. The result is plate pairs that are laser-welded to one another along the outer edges of two opposite longitudinal edges.
  • a gas flow is applied to the welding area during a welding process.
  • An air stream or an inert gas stream can be used as the gas stream.
  • the gas flow hits the plate edges in the currently heated welding point or area, i.e. the longitudinal edges of the individual plates or flows past them. A cooling of the welding area can thus be achieved.
  • a gas stream can be applied to the welding area according to a first alternative by means of a blower nozzle.
  • a displaceable blower nozzle is used which, when used, is aligned in the direction of the welding area and covers it with a gas stream.
  • the laser used is preferably moved together with the blower nozzle.
  • a common movement device can then be provided for the laser on the one hand and the blow nozzle on the other hand.
  • the gas flow is not applied by means of a blower nozzle, but by means of generating negative pressure.
  • a negative pressure is applied from outside the plate stack to be welded, as a result whose air located between the individual plates is sucked off, as a result of which a gas flow is applied to the welding area in the manner already described.
  • a suction nozzle is preferably used to generate a vacuum. This can preferably be designed to be movable together with a laser beam for laser welding.
  • Fig. 1 shows in a purely schematic representation a plate heat exchanger W which can be manufactured according to the method according to the invention.
  • the plate heat exchanger W is designed as a countercurrent heat exchanger.
  • Fig. 1 As can be seen, two individual plates each form a pair of plates P, the flow channel SK provided by a pair of plates serving for the first medium I to flow through.
  • the plate pairs P together form a plate stack S.
  • the flow channel SK which is formed between two pairs of plates P, serves to guide the second medium II through.
  • the flow directions of the first medium I and the second medium II are in Fig. 1 exemplified by arrows.
  • the individual plates E forming a plate pair P on the one hand and the plate pairs P forming a plate stack S on the other hand are connected to one another by means of laser welding. It is provided that the individual plates E of the plate heat exchanger W to be welded together in one work step, for which purpose a welding machine is used in which all the individual plates E of the plate heat exchanger W are stacked and then laser-welded to one another to form the individual flow channels SK.
