Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger for an air supply circuit of a motor vehicle engine.
  • the invention applies to the general field of air supply of motor vehicle engines, and more particularly to engines whose air supply comes from a compressor or a turbocharger, it is called air of overeating.
  • RAS charge air cooler
  • Such exchangers generally comprise a heat exchange bundle comprising a stack of tubes or plates defining respective circulation channels for the fluids, so as to allow a heat exchange between the two fluids circulating within the bundle.
  • the beam is in a known manner received in a housing.
  • a housing may comprise end plates on either side of the stack of plates or tubes of the bundle defining the fluid circulation channels, and generally one or more lateral cheeks connecting these end plates.
  • fluid intake and outlet manifolds are, according to a known solution, attached to the casing receiving the heat exchange bundle.
  • the document FR 2 933 176 discloses such a heat exchanger for charge air cooling of a motor vehicle engine.
  • the casing receiving the beam plays a structural role by participating in the rigidity of the exchanger.
  • the supercharging pressure can deform the housing, in particular the side cheeks of the housing.
  • the invention aims to provide a heat exchanger does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • This exchanger is intended to be disposed in an air supply circuit of an engine.
  • This exchanger 1 comprises a bundle of tubes or plates for heat exchange between a first fluid such as supercharging air and a second fluid such as coolant.
  • This bundle of tubes or plates is received in a housing 3.
  • the exchanger 1 further comprises a first manifold 5 for the inlet of the first fluid, and a second manifold 7 for the fluid outlet.
  • the first side cheek 11 is arranged near the inlet box 5 and is therefore substantially at the level of the intake of the supercharging air relative to the direction of air flow.
  • the lateral cheek 11,12 have zones of connection to the end plates 9.
  • the lateral cheeks 11,12 respectively have folded peripheral edges 15,17 for connection to the end plates.
  • the set is for example soldered thereafter.
  • the casing 3 further comprises at least one stress absorption zone to withstand the stresses exerted on the casing 3 during the flow of the charge air.
  • the absorption zone or zones are arranged adjacent to the input box 5.
  • the first lateral cheek 11 which has such an absorption zone.
  • the convexity is oriented towards the general direction of the stresses exerted on the casing 3 during the flow of the supercharging air, as schematically illustrated by arrow F.
  • the lateral cheek 11 it is possible for the lateral cheek 11 to have two convex surfaces 13 instead of just one, as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the lateral cheek 11 is all the more resistant; which further reduces the thickness of the cheek 11.
  • the housing 3 may also have stiffening means (not shown in the figures).
  • stiffening means are formed in one piece with the housing 3.
  • the stiffening means are made by deformation of the housing 3.
  • the stiffening means are for example provided at the stress absorption zone or zones of the casing 3.
  • the lateral cheek 11 may have such stiffening means.
  • Such cross deformation may be provided substantially in the center of the lateral cheek 11 or in the center of the convex surface (s) 13 of cheek 11.
  • the first lateral cheek 11 may have stiffening means at the folding edge 19 of the folded peripheral edges 15 for connection with the end plates 9.
  • the casing 3 may comprise stress limiting means 21 on one or more connection zones of the lateral cheek 11,12 with the end plates 9.
  • the first lateral cheek 11 includes such limitation means 21 on its peripheral contours.
  • the limiting means may include limiting grooves 21 (see FIG. figure 2 ).
  • the first lateral cheek 11 therefore has limiting grooves 21 on its peripheral contours forming zones of connection with the end plates 9.
  • the casing 3 can still carry inlet and outlet pipes 23 for the second fluid (cf. figure 3 ).
  • the manifolds 5.7 for their part are for example made by molding.
  • the manifolds 5 and 7 are arranged so that after passing through the beam, the cooled air leaves the exchanger 1 to supply the engine.
  • the input box 5 communicates with an air inlet duct 25.
  • the outlet box 7 is open to allow the passage of the cooled air to the engine.
  • the charge air enters the exchanger 1 via the inlet box 5 for the first fluid, circulates in the heat exchange bundle 3 and then leaves the exchanger 1 via the outlet box 7 for the first fluid to power the engine (not shown).
  • the second fluid As for the second fluid, it enters the heat exchange bundle, through an inlet pipe 23 for the second fluid, circulates in the heat exchange bundle, to exchange heat with the supercharging air to cool and then leaves the heat exchange bundle by an outlet pipe 23 for the second fluid.
  • such a heat exchanger casing 3 for admitting the supercharging air to the heat engine is more resistant to the stresses exerted during the flow of air in the exchanger 1 because of the zone of absorption provided for example by one or more convex surfaces of the lateral cheek 11 adjacent to the input box 5, and due to deformations of variable geometries of this side cheek 11.
