Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a cooler, in particular gas cooler to a cooling system.
- There is known from the description
EP 14461546.5 - Typically, the manifold consists of two elements in the form of the inner housing and the cover which is applied on and bent over the inner housing. The inner housing which is an uniform element having a closed profile is provided with at least one longitudinal channel defined therein and plurality slots on one of the surfaces of the housing. The slots are in fluid communication with at least one longitudinal channel. However the slots formed in the cover are in a position corresponding to positions of slots of the housing and are adapted for inserting flat tubes of the cooling assembly into them.
- In above mentioned patent description
EP 14461546 - The object of the present invention is to provide a cooler, in particular a gas cooler to a cooling system to be able to achieve optimum performance and drop of internal pressure in the cooler.
- Furthermore, the object of the invention is to improve the level of a cooler efficiency.
- The above objects are achieved by a cooler to a gas system according to
claim 1 and the following dependent claims. - A cooler that uses a separation of an inlet and outlet zones of the cooling medium through the insulating tube, which is not included into the cooling circuit ensured achieving optimal performance of the cooler and the internal pressure drop. With this solution, the heat conduction between the inlet and outlet zones has been limited. In order to reduce the cost the insulating tube having the same length as all the other tubes through which the cooling medium flows was used. Due to the fact that one end of the insulating tube will be fixed only on the inlet/outlet manifold side, while the opposite end of the insulating tube will be not inserted into the inner housing of the inner manifold, the additional length of the tube is equalized in the outlet zone of the inlet/outlet manifold.
- The inner housing of the inlet/outlet manifold was divided into two separate segments ended with plugs (baffles). All these elements were attached on one cover of the inlet/outlet manifold.
- As it will be explained below it was proposed two types of cover : one with an additional slot (central slot) for the insulating tube necessary for the inlet/outlet manifold and the other one, without central slot at the place in which the isolating tube is arranged and necessary for inner manifold. According to the invention the slot stamped in a conventional manner cannot be used due to observed collision with the inner housing of the manifolds.
- Moreover, it was noted that during attempts of connecting and sealing of a cover and the inner housing with brazing, that, in the area where a slot is not formed on the cover of the inner manifold, a level of porosity is higher because of the small distance of the area to be soldered without degassing, i.e. the distance between the last slot of the inlet zone and the first slot of the outlet zone is 2.5 times larger than between the standard slots. This problem was simply solved, namely it was proposed a special cover with a central slot, which can be used for both inlet/outlet and inner manifolds.
- According to the invention for the inner manifold a degassing and leak detection function was introduced in the attaching area of the insulating tube.
- Preferably only one kind of the cover for both manifolds can be used, according to the invention.
- Moreover, a central slot is formed by cutting (not stamping) in the opposite direction than the other stamped slots of the cover. This is very important because of the integration of the cover to the inner housing so as to form the inner manifold. In this case, an additional slot collar cannot be used because of the possibility of collision with the inner housing. Both of these elements have to be good fitted together. Cutting the slot profile in the same direction is not acceptable because there is a risk of burrs on the edges of the slot (at the slot exit).
- The present invention is illustrated in its embodiments in the accompanying drawings, in which:
-

Fig. 5 shows the cooler in a side view. -
Fig. 6 shows a fragment of the cover with a central slot for an insulating tube in a top view. -
Figs. 1 and2 show thegas cooler 1 for a cooling system comprising the inlet zone I and the outlet zone II of a cooling medium, each of which contains a set offlat tubes 6 arranged parallel to each other. Theflat tubes 6 of the inlet and outlet zones I, II are connected at opposite ends to the inlet/outlet manifolds 1a and theinner manifold 1b for supplying a cooling medium from the inlet zone I, guiding it to the outlet zone II and discharging it from the outlet zone II. - The
manifolds cover 2, 2' and theinner housing 4, 4'. Thecover 2, 2' is manufactured from the plate of the thickness inrange 0,8 to 2 mm, preferably of aluminium and/or its alloys by means of the stamping process and is bent in such manner that it substantially replicates the external shape of theinner housing 4, 4'. Preferably thecover 2, 2' can be plated on one or both sides. - The
cover 2, 2' shown infig. 3 and4 andfig. 5 hasmany slots 7 arranged in a single row, through which, during the application of themanifold flat tubes 6 of thegas cooler 1 are inserted. Thecover 2,2' slots 7 are precisely made slots, so that theflat tubes 6 having inner passages are tightly received in theseslots 7. - The
inner housing 4, 4' is of known from the prior art hollow profile and is made by an extrusion process. It has a thick and solid walls which make it capable of withstanding high pressure, and it includes in its interior separate longitudinal channels (not shown) for the flow of a cooling medium. - The
inner housing 4, 4' is also provided in its interior with stopping elements (not shown), against which the insertedflat tubes 6 abut. In addition, theinner housing 4, 4' has also a plurality of slots (not shown) at positions corresponding to the positions ofslots 7 in thecover 2. The slots ( not shown) of theinner housing 4, 4' need not be made with such accurate dimensions as theslots 7 of thecover 2, 2', that is, their dimensions did not have to be exactly matched to the dimensions of theflat tubes 6;it is sufficient that the slots of theinner housing 4, 4' will have a size larger, or at least the same, as the size offlat tubes 6, and hence also theslots 7 of thecover 2, 2'. This results in that theflat tubes 6 are received loosely into slots of theinner housing 4, 4' and tightly into theslots 7 of thecover 2, 2'. The slots of theinner housing 4,4' can be made by a process using a saw milling, which process does not have to be precise. The slots(not shown) of theinner housing 4, 4' are further in fluid communication with the channels (not shown) of theinner housing 4, 4'. Like thecover 2, 2', theinner housing 4, 4' is also preferably made of aluminium and/or its alloys. Thecover 2, 2' is so applied on theinner housing 4,4' that one surface of theinner housing 4,4' is exposed as it is known from the prior art. - As illustrated in
fig. 1 , between the inlet zone I and outlet zone II of the cooling medium theinsulating tube 5 was inserted which is located longitudinally in relation to saidflat tubes 6 of these zones for their separation and isolation. Theinsulating tube 5 has two opposite ends. One end of theinsulating tube 5 is disposed in the inlet/outlet manifold 1a while the other end, opposite end is disposed in theinner manifold 1b. According to the invention, the inner housing 4' of theinner manifold 1b is a uniform element ( see right sides offigs.2-4 ). - In order to attach the
insulating tube 5 in the inlet/outlet manifold 1a, theinner housing 4 according to the invention was divided in twosegments figs.2-4 ). The segments have two inner ends facing each other. The inner ends are closed by means ofbaffles 3 and are arrange at a distance to each other as is best seen infig. 2 ,fig. 3 andfig. 5 (see left side). Thecover 2 which attached on theinner housing 4 of the inlet/outlet manifold 1a is formed in one piece. - The
cover 2 is provided with thecentral slot 8 formed and positioned at the location of the insulatingtube 5 for receiving one end of said insulatingtube 5 and placing it between thesegments inner housing 4 of the inlet/outlet manifold 1a. According to the invention saidcentral slot 8 of thecover 2 is the slot cut from its inner side, which is intended to come into contact with thehousing 4. - According to the invention, an opposite other end of the insulating
tube 5 is located in theinner manifold 1b in front of the outer surface of the cover 2' and in front of thecentral slot 8 of the cover 2'( seefig.4 ). - According to another embodiment illustrated in
fig. 3 the cover 2' of theinner manifold 1b in the location area of the insulatingtube 5 has a continuous surface free of theslot 8. - In order to reduce the cost, the insulating
tube 5 has the same length as theflat tubes 6 through which the cooling medium flows. Due to the fact that one end of the insulatingtube 5 will be attached only to the inlet/outlet manifold 1a side, while the opposite end of the insulatingtube 5 is not inserted into the inner housing 4' of theinner manifold 1b, the additional length of thetube 5 was equalized in the outlet zone of the inlet/outlet manifold 1a. - The
central slot 8 cannot be a slot stamped in a conventional manner due to the observed collision with the inner housing 4' of theinner manifold 1b (seefig. 6 ) . Moreover, it was noted during attempts of integrating and sealing of the cover 2' and the inner housing 4' by means of brazing, that, in the area where acentral slot 8 is not formed on the cover 2' of theinner manifold 1b, the level of porosity is higher because of the small distance of the area to be soldered without degassing, i.e. the distance between thelast slot 7 for the inlet zone I and thefirst slot 7 of the outlet zone II is 2.5 times larger than between the standard slots. This problem was resolved in a simply manner, namely it was proposed special cover 2' provided with thecentral slot 8 intended for both types of themanifolds cover 2 can be applied to bothmanifolds fig.4 ). - According to the invention, the
central slot 8 is formed by cutting (not stamping) in the opposite direction than the other stampedslots 7 of thecover 2,2' . This is very important because of the integration of the cover 2' to the inner housing 4' so as to form theinner manifold 1b. In this case, an additional slot collar cannot be used because of the possibility of collision with the inner housing 4'. Both of these elements have to be good fitted together. Cutting thecentral slot 8 of thecover 2,2' in the same direction is not acceptable because there is a risk of burrs on the edges of thecentral slot 8. - According to the preferred embodiment the said
central slot 8 has a width from 0.5 to 3.0 mm. However, the size of slots (not shown) in theinner housing 4 is at least equal to or greater than the size ofslots 7 in thecover 2 and 2'. - It is obvious that the embodiments described herein does not limit that invention.
