Definitions

  • the invention generally relates to heat recovery devices for exhaust lines.
  • Motor vehicle exhaust systems may include heat exchangers of the type shown on the figure 1 .
  • a heat exchanger 1 comprises a plurality of tubes 3 for circulating the exhaust gases. These tubes are held at each of their longitudinal ends by a grid 5.
  • a casing 7 is placed around the tubes 3 and grids 5.
  • the tubes 3, the grids 5 and the casing 7 are fixed to each other by brazing, in an oven.
  • Each grid 5 has an upstanding edge 9 facing outwardly of the heat exchanger, for attachment to a body 11, shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the body 11 is for example integrated with a three-way valve for selectively directing the exhaust gas either to the heat exchanger or to a bypass duct of the heat exchanger.
  • the extreme edge 13 of the upstanding edge 9 must be sufficiently far away from the junction between the grid 5 and the casing 7 so as not to melt the solder material solidarizing the grid 5 to the casing 7, during the welding of the grid 5 on the body 11.
  • the grid 5 has a generally rectangular shape. It can be formed from a flat sheet, the sides of which are folded so as to give it a bowl shape, and thus create the erected edge 9. The sheet is then pierced, so as to create the receiving orifices of the tubes 3.
  • the material When shaping the flat sheet, the material is compressed at each corner of the erected edge 9.
  • the surface condition inside the four corners is not good. There are wrinkles both inside and outside the bowl.
  • the shaping of the grid does not allow to have a good surface condition, nor good dimensional tolerances, in each corner of the erect edge 9.
  • the heat exchanger 1 can be fixed to a barrel stretching formed in the body 11.
  • the erected edge 9 is inserted inside the barrel 15.
  • the edges of the barrel drawing 15 are absolutely not planar, due to the elastic return of the material during forming.
  • the edges of the barrel stretch are not not perpendicular to the plane of the opening defined in the body 11, the draft angle being of the order of 2 °.
  • the clearance between the upstanding edge 9 of the grid and the barrel stretching 15 is not constant, and may be greater than 0.5 mm on average.
  • MAG Metal Active Gas
  • the length of the erect edge 9 is limited by the fact that the compression of the material in the corners becomes impossible beyond a certain limit.
  • the barrel stretch has a maximum length, related to the maximum allowable elongation of the material.
  • the MAG process has known defects, the most important of which is to deform the parts to be welded, because these parts are heated at high temperature, and locally.
  • the invention aims to provide a heat recovery device that does not have the above defects.
  • the grid is turned in the opposite direction of the figure 1 .
  • This allows the connection between the body and the grid at the level of the plane surface of the grid surrounding the receiving holes of the tubes. It is therefore no longer necessary to perform a canon stretching around the opening of the body, the connection between the body and the gate being made at two flat surfaces, parallel to one another.
  • the height of the erected edge is less important than on the figures 1 and 2 because it is not necessary to extend it to the level of the free edge of the barrel stretching. It is only necessary to join the housing of the heat exchanger. The manufacture of the grid is easier, and the deformations less pronounced.
  • the heat recovery device 17 is intended to be integrated in an exhaust line, typically an exhaust line of a vehicle equipped with a heat engine.
  • the vehicle is for example a motor vehicle, typically a car or a truck.
  • the heat recovery device 17 is provided to recover a portion of the heat energy of the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust line.
  • the heat energy thus recovered is used in the vehicle, for example to accelerate the rise in temperature of the engine, or to ensure the heating of the passenger compartment.
  • the heat recovery device 17 shown on the Figures 3 to 5 includes a body 19 ( figure 5 ) internally delimiting a passage 21 for circulation of the exhaust gas, and a heat exchanger 23.
  • the body 19 has an opening 25 through which the circulation passage 21 communicates with the heat exchanger 23.
  • the body 19 is for example a valve body.
  • the valve is typically a three-way valve, the body 19 having at least one inlet for the exhaust gas and two outlets, all communicating fluidly with the circulation passage 21.
  • the inlet is in fluid communication with the collector collecting the exhaust gas at the outlet of the combustion chambers of the engine.
  • One of the outlets constitutes the opening 25 and communicates with the exhaust gas flow side of the heat exchanger 23.
  • the other outlet opens into a bypass duct of the heat exchanger. On the figure 5 only the opening 25 has been shown.
  • the body 19 is an exhaust gas circulation duct, the heat exchanger being mounted as a bypass on this duct.
  • the heat exchanger 23 comprises a housing 27, and a plurality of exhaust gas circulation tubes 29, extending inside the housing 27.
  • the tubes 29 communicate fluidly with the circulation passage 21 through the opening 25.
  • the casing 27 has a proximal edge 31 delimiting a proximal opening 33.
  • the proximal edge 31 and the distal edge 35 are closed contours.
  • the heat exchanger 23 also comprises at least one grid 39 disposed in the proximal opening 33.
  • the grid 39 comprises a wall 41 in which orifices 43 are formed.
  • Each tube 29 has a proximal end 45, engaged in one of the orifices 43 and fixed to the grid 39.
  • the heat exchanger 23 comprises another gate 47 disposed in the distal opening 37.
  • the other gate 47 comprises a wall 49 in which orifices 51 are formed.
  • Each tube 29 has a distal end 53 engaged in one of the orifices 51 and fixed to the other grid 47.
  • the grid 39 and the other gate 47 are identical in all respects. Only the grid 39 will therefore be described below in detail.
  • the tubes 29 are rectilinear, and extend longitudinally from the proximal end 45 to the distal end 53.
  • Each tube 29 thus has two large faces 55, 57, opposite to one another, and connected to one another by slices 59.
  • the large faces 55, 57 extend substantially in planes containing the longitudinal directions L and transverse T. These planes are perpendicular to a direction of elevation E, materialized on the figure 3 .
  • the tubes 29 are all stacked in the direction of elevation.
  • the heat exchanger 23 in a transverse plane comprises at most a single tube.
  • Each tube 29 thus extends substantially over the entire transverse width of the heat exchanger 23.
  • the tubes 29 are stacked so that the large face 55 of a given tube is placed opposite the large face 57 of the tube immediately below in the stack in the direction of elevation.
  • the fins 61 are placed inside each tube 29, so as to promote heat exchange gas side.
  • the fins 61 are for example made in the form of an accordion-folded metal foil and introduced inside the tube 29.
  • the orifices 43 and 51 of the grids 39 and 47 have a shape conjugate with that of the tubes 29. They are therefore of elongated shape transversely and extend substantially over the entire width of the grid. They are arranged in a single column.
  • the grid 39 comprises an upstanding edge 60, extending around the wall 41 and projecting from the wall 41 towards the inside of the heat exchanger 23.
  • the wall 41 is substantially rectangular, with rounded corners. Consequently, the erected edge 60 comprises two sections 61 substantially parallel to each other extending in the transverse direction T, and two sections 63 substantially parallel to each other extending in the direction of E.
  • the two sections 61 are parallel to each other and extend in the transverse direction T.
  • the two sections 63 are parallel to each other and extend according to the elevation direction E.
  • the sections 61 and 63 are connected to each other by curved portions.
  • the erected edge 60 projects in the longitudinal direction L. As visible on the figure 4 it is engaged within the proximal edge 31 of the housing 27, the proximal edge 31 being pressed against an outer surface of the upstanding edge 60.
  • the upstanding edge 60 is rigidly fixed to the housing 27. More specifically, the proximal edge 31 is brazed on the erect edge 60.
  • the wall 41 of the grid 39 is offset outside the housing 27. It is offset along the longitudinal direction L. By this it is meant that it is not located inside the housing 27, but is located longitudinally beyond the proximal end 31 of the housing 27.
  • the wall 41 of the grid 39 has around the orifices 43 a flat surface 65 facing the body 19.
  • the flat surface 65 extends in a certain plane. This plane is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and therefore contains the transverse direction T and the elevation direction E.
  • the flat surface 65 extends all around the orifices 43.
