Definitions
- the invention relates to an exhaust gas recirculation cooler for an internal combustion engine, in particular a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the exhaust gas is cooled in an exhaust gas recirculation cooler, which is subsequently fed to combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine again together with the combustion air.
- the exhaust gas recirculation coolers are used in motor vehicles with diesel engines in order to reduce exhaust gas emissions by returning the cooled exhaust gas to the combustion chambers.
- cooling tubes are arranged in a row in a housing to form a tube bundle.
- the cooling tubes are mostly made of stainless steel winglet tubes, in which flow obstacles for better heat transfer are integrally formed - for example by stamping.
- the exhaust gas flows through the winglet tubes and is cooled by a coolant flowing in the housing.
- An exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet are generally each provided by a diffuser, the respective diffuser being connected to the housing and forming an interface to the customer connection.
- DE 196 54 366 A1 discloses, for example, cooling pipes with flow obstacles on the wall of the cooling pipe are attached.
- DE 10 2010 008 176 B4 and DE 11 2013 004 680 T5 disclose turbulence inserts that are arranged around the cooling tubes.
- DE 199 61 284 A1 discloses a wire wall element that encases a tube and creates a turbulent flow around it.
- DE 10 2009 038 643 A1 and DE 10 2007 005 370 A1 disclose cooling tubes with integral flow obstacles and inserts that can be arranged between the cooling tubes. Flow obstacles and turbulence inserts can influence the flow in the tube bundle or in the cooling tubes and improve the heat transfer between exhaust gas and coolant.
- WO 2015/121148 A1 further discloses a deflection element which is arranged in the coolant inlet and specifically directs the coolant to the exhaust gas inlet.
- DE 32 12 914 A1 discloses deflection elements which are arranged in the tube bundle between two stacks of the respective cooling tubes.
- DE 10 2010 001 635 A1 discloses a wire deflector. US 2013/0327499 A1 discloses an alternative embodiment of the deflection elements. The deflection elements can prevent the coolant from flowing out of the tube bundle too quickly.
- US 2015/0260466 A1 JP 2014-194296 A and DE 10 2014 208 259 A1 disclose generic exhaust gas recirculation coolers, each having a flow control structure.
- the flow guide structure engages from the annular space in the tube block and is additionally fixed to the tube block.
- a ring structure is provided, on which the flow structure is clamped.
- the flow control structures direct the coolant between the individual rows of pipes and thereby improve the heat transfer between the exhaust gas and the coolant.
- Disadvantageous catfish such flow control structures significantly increase the cost of the exhaust gas recirculation cooler and are also not modular.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide an exhaust gas recirculation cooler in which a longer and uniform exposure of the tube bundle to the coolant is made possible by an inexpensive and simple flow guide structure, and thereby the heat transfer between the coolant and the exhaust gas is improved.
- the present invention is based on the general idea of diverting a coolant flowing into an exhaust gas recirculation cooler in the exhaust gas recirculation cooler with as little loss as possible to a so-called exhaust gas inlet floor and thereby achieving an increase in heat transfer in the exhaust gas recirculation cooler between a hot exhaust gas and the colder coolant.
- the exhaust gas recirculation cooler has a housing in which a plurality of cooling tubes are arranged in columns next to one another to form a row of tubes and at least two rows of tubes one above the other and spaced apart from one another to form a tube block. Exhaust gas can flow through the inside of the respective cooling tube and connects an exhaust gas inlet with an exhaust gas outlet in a gas-conducting manner.
- Coolant can flow around the respective cooling tube inside the housing, for which purpose the housing has a coolant inlet opening into the housing in an inlet region and a coolant outlet.
- the exhaust gas recirculation cooler also has an annular space which surrounds the tube block in the circumferential direction and through which the coolant can flow.
- the exhaust gas recirculation cooler has a flow guide arrangement for guiding the coolant inside the pipe block, which is arranged in the housing, at least in regions, against at least one of the rows of pipes.
- the flow guide arrangement bears against at least one of the rows of pipes.
- the flow guide arrangement can be arranged between the adjacent rows of pipes and can have a plurality of guide channels for guiding the coolant, such as water, between the respective adjacent rows of pipes.
- the guide channels can guide the coolant from the inlet region of the housing between the two rows of pipes essentially in a transverse direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the pipe block and can delay an outflow of the coolant in the longitudinal direction to the coolant outlet. This enables a longer and more uniform application of the coolant to the pipe block, in particular in the hotter inlet area, and consequently also improves the heat transfer between the coolant and the exhaust gas.
- the flow guide arrangement can, for example, have at least one guide plate with guide channels, which is arranged between the adjacent rows of pipes and enables the coolant to be guided essentially in the transverse direction.
- the flow-guiding arrangement can rest on one or more rows of pipes on a side of the pipe block facing the annular space and guide the coolant out of the annular space between the adjacent rows of pipes. In this way, the coolant can be prevented from flowing out of the inlet area from the coolant inlet to the coolant outlet around the pipe block, and a longer and uniform application of the coolant to the pipe block is made possible.
- the flow guide arrangement can advantageously be arranged in the pipe block during the manufacture of the exhaust gas recirculation cooler.
- the flow control arrangement can also be adapted accordingly.
- the heat transfer in the exhaust gas recirculation cooler is increased by the flow side arrangement and thereby a mechanical failure of the exhaust gas recirculation cooler due to overheating advantageously prevented.
- the flow guide arrangement has at least one flow guide structure, the flow guide structure being arranged at least in regions in the inlet region of the housing and engaging the pipe block from the annular space.
- the flow guide structure can advantageously delay the coolant flowing away around the pipe block from the inlet area and enable the coolant to be guided between the adjacent rows of pipes essentially in the transverse direction.
- the flow guide arrangement can have a plurality of flow guide structures which engage from the annular space in the tube block on one side or on both sides opposite one another.
- the flow behavior of the coolant in the annular space and in the tube block can be influenced advantageously by the number, the arrangement of the flow guide structures on the tube block, the dimensions and the configuration of the flow guide structures.
- the at least one flow guide structure has a plurality of individual wire elements, the respective wire element being provided for one row of tubes or for some of the rows of tubes.
- the respective wire element according to the invention encompasses at least one of the rows of pipes at least in regions on a side facing the annular space.
- the respective wire element is thereby arranged in a clamped or form-fitting manner on one of the rows of pipes and engages in spaces between the adjacent rows of pipes from the annular space.
- the respective wire element can encompass several or individual rows of pipes, thereby influencing the flow pattern of the coolant in the pipe block and in the annular space.
- the flow guide structure has at least one fixing area for fixing the flow guide structure on the row of pipes and at least one flow guide area for guiding the coolant between the adjacent rows of pipes.
- the fixing area can, for example, fix the flow guide structure to the row of pipes in a form-fitting or non-positive manner.
- the coolant is passed through the pipe block through the flow guide area, the flow guide area being arranged in the inlet area of the housing and thus allowing the coolant to be guided in the pipe block from the coolant inlet.
- the flow pattern of the coolant in the annular space and in the tube block can be advantageously influenced by the number, the arrangement on the tube block, the dimensions and the configuration of the flow guide structures.
- the fixing area and / or the flow guiding area of the flow guiding structure can be clamped between two adjacent rows of pipes. In this way, an undesired displacement of the flow guide structure within the pipe block can be prevented and a particularly secure fixing of the flow guide structure in the pipe block can be achieved.
- the flow-guiding region deflects the coolant flowing in from the coolant inlet to the exhaust gas inlet - that is to say to the so-called exhaust gas inlet floor.
- the exhaust gas to be cooled has the highest temperature and the coolant flowing in from the coolant inlet has the lowest temperature within the housing.
- the flow guide area can have at least one guide channel, which is arranged essentially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the pipe block and thus enables the coolant to be deflected to the exhaust gas inlet.
- the guide channel can extend over the entire width or alternatively only partially in the width of the pipe block.
- the angle of the guide channel to the longitudinal direction or to the transverse direction of the pipe block can also be adjusted in order to influence the flow pattern of the coolant in the pipe block.
- the flow guide structure has several individual wire elements.
- the wire element can be, for example, an injection molded part, an injection molded part or a wire molded part.
- the wire element advantageously has a small volume and only insignificantly reduces the volume of the coolant flowing in the housing. In an advantageous manner, the coolant is guided in the tube block and the volume of the coolant in the housing is retained.
- the wire element advantageously also has only a slight effect on the pressure loss in the coolant flow. Furthermore, the wire element can be manufactured inexpensively.
- the fixing area and the flow guiding area are integrally formed on the wire element.
- the fixing area can be shaped in a meandering shape or in the form of a clamp and enable the flow-guiding structure to be non-positively fixed on the pipe block.
- the flow area can be shaped in the form of a longer guide channel which extends essentially in the transverse direction.
- the flow pattern of the coolant in the pipe block can be advantageously influenced by adapting the length of the guide channel or the angle to the transverse direction of the pipe block.
- the flow guide arrangement has a ring structure.
- the ring structure is arranged in the ring space around the pipe block and, in a fluid-resistant manner, separates the inlet area within the ring space from the coolant outlet at least in some areas. In an advantageous manner, a drainage of the coolant around the pipe block from the inlet area is inhibited and the heat transfer in the inlet area is improved.
- the ring structure can, for example, be arranged in a recess in the housing and thus fixed on the housing. Alternatively, the ring structure can be fixed to a recess in the housing.
- the ring structure has at least one passage opening through which the coolant can flow from the inlet area within the ring space to the coolant outlet.
- the passage opening can be provided, for example, on a side surface or on an angled region of the ring structure in order to at least partially allow the coolant to flow out of the inlet region. In particular, this can prevent the coolant from accumulating and thus overheating in the inlet area and the coolant pressure in the housing can be maintained.
- the ring structure can advantageously be fixed resiliently and / or pretensioned on the pipe block and / or on the housing.
- the ring structure can have, for example, resilient structures formed on the ring structure Have longitudinal direction, which can advantageously protect the ring structure from mechanical loads such as vibrations.
- the housing has a circulation space, the circulation space enclosing the tube block in the inlet region in the circumferential direction and being formed, for example, by a depression in the housing.
- the coolant can be collected in the circulation space before it is led into the tube block and the tube block can be additionally cooled in the inlet area.
- the coolant can then be guided from the circulation space between the rows of pipes in order to cool the exhaust gas. In this way, uniform application of the coolant to the pipe block can be achieved and consequently the heat transfer between the coolant and the exhaust gas in the inlet area can be increased.
- the flow guide arrangement has the ring structure and at least one flow guide structure and that at least one of the flow guide structures is integrally formed on the ring structure.
- the flow guide structure integrally formed on the ring structure can be designed in a particularly stable manner and the service life of the flow guide arrangement can thereby be increased.
- the flow guide arrangement has the ring structure and at least one flow guide structure, the ring structure encompassing at least one of the flow guide structures arranged on the pipe block.
- the flow guide structures can first be arranged in the pipe block and then the ring structure can be arranged around the pipe block.
