- the fins 16a are typically designed as folded sheets, the individual flow channels being created by the individual folds.
- the slats 16a offer the advantage that they improve
- Enable heat conduction (compared to plate heat exchangers without fins) and also contribute as tensile elements to the mechanical strength of the plate heat exchanger 1.
- the various media / fluids flow in the passages 16
- Heat exchangers 10 can additionally carry out heat exchange indirectly via the cover plate 12, which connects two modules.
- the individual media A, B, C, D and E are guided into the headers 7 via the connecting piece 6 and thus distributed over the respective passages 16 arranged in stacks.
- the connecting piece 6 In the entrance area of the passages 16 so-called
- Distribution lamellae 2 are located, for a uniform distribution of the medium within the individual passages 16, in particular on the different

- the individual passages 16 with the fins 16a, possibly distributor fins 2, cover plates 12 and sidebars or edge strips 8 are stacked on top of one another, provided with solder and brazed in an oven. Header 7 and nozzle 6 are then welded onto the block formed in this way.
- plate heat exchangers In comparison to many other types of heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers have the advantage that they are particularly efficient and / or can be designed to be particularly compact and weight-saving, so that they have little space
- Heat transfer performance can be achieved. In particular point
- Plate heat exchangers and very particularly finned plate heat exchangers have a particularly advantageous ratio of surface area to volume, as a result of which a high heat transfer performance can be achieved with a small footprint.
- heat exchangers in general and in particular also also
- phase change elements are known in the prior art for use in coolers for electronic components, as is disclosed, for example, in documents EP 1162659 A2 and WO 2003046982 A1.
- the use of a phase change element in a heat store is also disclosed in US 20170127557 A1.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a heat exchanger which does not have the disadvantages inherent in the prior art, but is also able to withstand large temperature gradients and / or strong changes in temperature over time.
- the invention in a first aspect, relates to a heat exchanger comprising at least one temperature compensation element.
- At least one The temperature compensation element has a casing which forms a cavity and a phase change element, the phase change element being arranged in the cavity and being in thermal contact with the casing.
- the invention relates to a method for producing a heat exchanger.
- the method comprises producing a casing of the temperature compensation element in such a way that the casing of the
- Temperature compensation element encloses a cavity, and arranging a phase change element in the cavity such that the phase change element is in thermal contact with the casing.
- the temperature compensation element can preferably be a component of the
- the casing preferably completely encloses the cavity.
- the cavity in which the phase change element is arranged can be formed in a conventional component of the heat exchanger in order to provide this conventional component with a temperature compensation element or with the phase change element.
- one or more passages which are each formed by two separating plates and / or a separating plate and a cover plate, can be designed as so-called dummy passages or inactive passages, which are not flowed through by a heat-exchanging fluid, but in which the phase change element is at least partially arranged is.
- Temperature compensation elements in the heat exchanger a very high level of heat can be absorbed or stored and / or a very high level of stored heat can be released. In particular, that is
- Phase change element is preferably designed to deliver and / or absorb a greater amount of thermal energy during a phase change than the amount of thermal energy that the phase change element can store due to its specific heat capacity without a phase change.
- a particularly rapid change in temperature of a component of the heat exchanger which has the temperature compensation element and / or is in thermal contact with it can be slowed down and / or reduced, and thus thermal expansions and the resulting mechanical ones Stresses in the component can be reduced or almost completely avoided.
- the invention also offers the advantage that large temperature gradients can be at least partially weakened by providing one or more components over which the temperature gradient extends with at least one temperature compensation element. A weakening of the temperature gradient can thus also reduce or almost completely avoid thermal expansions and the mechanical stresses resulting therefrom in the heat exchanger and thus one
- Fluid-connected fluids so-called “double banking" passages, in which case the heat transfer takes place only from one or from the same fluid to the phase change element, without heat transfer to another fluid;
- phase change element preferably at least partially formed by one or more components of the heat exchanger itself.
- a heat exchanger is disclosed in EP 3 330 655 A1, which fundamentally differs in construction and flow from the plate heat exchangers considered in this application. There it is proposed to insert a phase change material into one of the spacing gaps of the
- the temperature compensation element serves to keep metal temperatures of the components of the plate heat exchanger in a defined temperature range, even if the heat-exchanging fluid flows have large temperature fluctuations (outside this defined temperature range) exhibit. High metal temperatures and the associated high voltages in the heat exchanger should be prevented.
- phase change elements allows the respective temperatures to be kept longer, so the temperature compensation can be slowed down. This is advantageous in the case of a restart, since the gradient between the fluid and metal temperatures at said points can then be kept lower, which has a positive influence on the energy balance and, in turn, high material stresses at these points are avoided.
- the invention offers the advantage that the service life of heat exchangers can be extended and / or wear of the heat exchanger can be reduced.
- the invention also offers the advantage that the maintenance work and / or maintenance costs and / or operating costs can be reduced, since preferably an exchange of components and / or a reworking of
- the cavity in which the phase change element is arranged is preferably formed by a passage of the heat exchanger.
- the casing can preferably be formed at least partially by at least one separating plate and / or at least one lamella.
- a passage of the heat exchanger is formed by two opposing partition plates (also referred to as partition plates) and / or by a partition plate and a cover plate (also referred to as cover plate), in which the phase change element is then at least partially arranged.
- a passage through which heat-exchanging fluid conventionally flows can be converted into a dummy passage and, at least in part, with the Phase change element are filled.
- the heat exchanger is thus preferably designed such that the passage in which the phase change element is arranged is not flowed through by a heat-exchanging fluid, but rather as
- Temperature compensation element is used. This offers the advantage that no complex structural modifications to the heat exchanger are required in order to arrange the phase change element or temperature compensation element at the desired position in the heat exchanger. This also has the advantage that good thermal contact between the dummy passage and the
- Phase change element and the adjacent passages is made possible.

- At least one cover plate and / or at least one separating plate itself can be designed as a temperature compensation element. This can offer the advantage that the production of a block can be simplified, since only one is used to provide a phase change element
- Temperature compensation element trained cover plate and / or partition plate may be sufficient.
- the heat exchanger optionally has a plurality of heat exchanger blocks (modules) which are arranged parallel to one another and a module connection layer which is arranged between two adjacent modules of the plurality of modules.
- the at least one module connection layer preferably includes or is embodied as the at least one temperature compensation element. This is particularly advantageous because in a heat exchanger with several modules
- Module connection layer often experiences a very strong thermal stress and thus the provision of at least one temperature compensation element in one or more module connection layers offers a particularly advantageous effect with regard to the reduction of thermal stresses.
- the thermal stresses with a module connection layer can result, in particular, from the fact that the two modules of fluids with greatly different adjoining the module connection layer Temperatures can be flowed through and can therefore prevail greatly different temperatures on opposite sides of the module connection layer. In other words, this can conventionally lead to a strong temperature gradient dropping across the module connection layer and the
- Module connection layer is therefore susceptible to deformation and / or hairline cracks due to high mechanical stresses.
- This conventionally occurring strong temperature gradient can be at least partially reduced by the formation of the temperature compensation element and / or the phase change element within the module connection system, since the temperature compensation element or the phase change element can absorb and / or release a large amount of heat and thus lead to thermal relaxation within the
- Module connection position can lead.
- the plate heat exchanger and in particular the module connection layer can also be exposed to a strong change in temperature over time, for example when the heat exchanger is put into operation and the two are connected to the
- Module connection position adjacent modules are brought into contact with the fluids at different times with heat exchangers and / or are brought into contact with fluids at very different temperatures. This can also be done at least partially with a temperature compensation element and / or a
- Compensate phase change element within the module connection layer so that the thermal stresses within the module connection layer can be at least partially reduced.
- the phase change element is completely of the
- Module connection layer enclosed and / or fully integrated into the module connection layer. This offers the advantage that the phase change element is securely encased in the module connection position and preferably an intrusion of
- the module connection layer can be made particularly compact and / or particularly robust and preferably does not have to be produced as a multi-layer component by applying several layers to one another.
- the module connection layer and / or the passage in which the phase change element is arranged are particularly preferably planar and that

- Module connection layer can be improved in terms of their thermal resistance by the phase change element or the temperature compensation element and thus preferably the occurrence of strong thermal gradients and / or rapid temperature changes can be reduced or even avoided over the entire module connection layer.
- the phase change of the phase change element preferably comprises a change from the solid phase to the liquid phase and / or vice versa.
- the phase change of the phase change element can preferably comprise a change from a crystalline solid phase to an amorphous solid phase and / or vice versa.

If several modules or blocks are connected to one another on their cover plates, large mechanical stresses and / or strains can also occur between the adjacent blocks, which can damage the weld seams.

- Figure 2 shows a schematic cross-sectional view
- Plate heat exchanger 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the structural structure of the plate heat exchanger 10 can be the
- the plate heat exchanger 10 has two
- Cover plates 12 which cover the plate heat exchanger 10 or the block, and a plurality of partition plates 14, which divide the block or plate heat exchanger 10 into a plurality of passages 16.
- Embodiment of the plate heat exchanger 10 has only one block or only one module, a plate heat exchanger according to other preferred
- Embodiments have several blocks or modules, which are preferably connected to one another at their opposite cover plates 12. Between the partition plates 14 there are the passages 16, through which fluids can flow for heat exchange, the fluids in adjacent passages 16 being able to have different temperatures in order to exchange heat via the partition plates 14 and the fins 16a preferably arranged in the passages 16 (see Figure 1) perform.
- the separating plates 14 and / or the passages 16 or fins 16a are preferably made of a material with good thermal conductivity.
- the partition plates 14 and / or passages 16 can be made of a metal.
- the separating plates 14 and / or the passages 16 are particularly preferably made of aluminum.
- the plate heat exchanger 10 also has a phase change element 18, which is designed to be subjected to a phase change and to absorb or emit a large amount of heat.
- the phase change element 18 is arranged in a cavity 20 which is delimited, inter alia, by two adjacent separating plates 14, which thus form part of a casing of the
- phase change element 18 does not necessarily have to fill the entire cavity 20, as will be explained below with reference to FIG. 3, but according to some in the figures this cannot be
- one of the cavities 20, which could serve as an active passage 16 is designed to form a temperature compensation element 22, as a result of which the thermal stresses in the heat exchanger 10 that often occur when fluids of significantly different temperatures flow through the heat exchanger 10 can be reduced.
- the cavity 20 can also be closed on all sides, for example by edge strips, in order to prevent the phase change material 18 from escaping from the cavity and / or the penetration of fluids or contaminants into the
- Phase change material 18 is in thermal contact with the partition plates 14 delimiting the cavity, at least in some places, since this enables a particularly effective heat transfer from the fluids flowing in the adjacent active layers to the phase change material 18 via the partition plates 14.
- This embodiment offers the advantage that the temperature compensation element 22 can be integrated into the heat exchanger in a particularly simple manner, since a conventional passage 16 can be designed for this. However, the previously active passage 16 then becomes a passage or dummy passage which is inactive for the heat exchange between the fluids and through which fluids can no longer flow.
- the cover plates 12 and / or the sidebars 8 and / or the headers 7 and / or can be used as an alternative or in addition to the embodiment described above the separating plates 14 are designed with a temperature compensation element 22 or phase change element 18 integrated therein or mounted thereon.
- this may increase the manufacturing outlay, but this can offer the advantage that no active passage 16 has to be abandoned in favor of a temperature compensation element, but is retained for the operation of the heat exchanger 10. It can also be advantageous to arrange a temperature compensation element 22 or phase change element 18 between two passages of the same fluid flow, ie a fluid in fluid communication, so-called "double banking" passages, in which case the heat transfer from the same fluid to the phase change element takes place without heat transfer to another fluid.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the heat exchanger 10 along the section line A-A drawn in FIG. 2. It can be seen here that the cavity 20 is only partially provided or filled with the phase change element 18, while another part 24 of the cavity 20 is not provided with the phase change element 18.
- the phase change element 18 is particularly preferably arranged only and / or primarily where particularly large temperature differences are to be expected. For example, since the heat exchanger 10 according to the embodiment shown is designed so that the active passages 16 adjoining the temperature compensation element 22 are flowed through from one side, starting with fluids which can have significantly different temperatures, the expected temperature difference and / or temperature gradient initially, ie on one side of the heat exchanger 10, the largest before this is at
- the cavity 20 is delimited by side walls 26, which can be, in particular, soldered or welded sidebars, and the partition plates 14 in order to prevent the Phase change element 18 and / or to prevent foreign bodies and / or heat-exchanging fluid from entering the cavity 20.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional illustration
- Temperature compensation element 22 according to another preferred embodiment
- Embodiment which can be installed, for example, in a heat exchanger 10 and / or arranged thereon and / or integrated therein.
- the temperature compensation element 22 has a casing 28, which is preferably formed from a material with high thermal conductivity.
- shroud 28 may be formed from a metal, such as aluminum.
- the casing 28 forms and encloses a cavity 20.
- a phase change material 18 is embedded in the cavity 20, so that the
- Sheath 28 completely encloses the cavity 20. Although not recognizable in the cross-sectional view in FIG. 3, the cavity 20 can be closed on all sides by the casing 28, so that the
- Cavity 20 is prevented.
- the manufacture of the product of the product of the product of the product is prevented.
- Temperature compensation elements 22 first of all produce the casing, so that the cavity is at least partially formed, then the phase change material 18 is filled into the cavity 20 and then the cavity 20 or the casing 28 are closed.
- the entire temperature compensation element 22 can be produced at least partially by means of an additive manufacturing method, for example by means of 3D printing. This can offer the possibility of already arranging the phase change material 18 in the at least partially completed cavity 20, even if the production of the casing 28 has not yet been completed. This can be advantageous in order to produce temperature compensation elements 22 with particularly complex structures, in which the
- the temperature compensation element 22 can be dimensioned and / or configured such that the temperature compensation element 22 as a separating plate 14 and / or as a cover plate 12 with an integrated one Phase change element 18 can be used in a plate heat exchanger 10.
- FIG. 5 shows in a diagram 100 schematically an exemplary course of the temperature (axis 104) versus time (axis 102) of a component with a
- Temperature compensation element 22 (graph 1 10) compared to the temperature profile of a component without temperature compensation element 22 (diagram 1 12), if they are exposed to a strong external temperature change. It can be seen here that the temperature of the component with temperature compensation element 22 changes significantly more slowly and continuously than is the case with the component without temperature compensation element. As a result, thermal and mechanical loads on the component can be reduced by introducing and / or attaching a phase change element 18.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic representation of a plate heat exchanger 10 according to another preferred embodiment.
- the plate heat exchanger 10 has two cuboid modules 1 a and 1 b, which are connected to one another.
- the two modules 1 a and 1 b can be designed as modules as explained with reference to FIG. 1.
- the two modules 1 a and 1 b are cuboid and are each closed off from the outside by cover plates 12. Both modules 1 a and 1 b are arranged in such a way that they face each other and are immediately adjacent with cover plates 12 of the same size. The two modules 1 a and 1 b are further arranged such that the cover plates 12 are spaced apart. Between the two modules 1 a and 1 b is a temperature compensation element 22 as is
- modules 1 a and 1 b can each be equipped with temperature compensation element 22, i.e. be welded to its casing 28 (FIG. 4).
- Modules 1 a and 1 b are preferably of the type with
- Temperature compensation element 22 connected that one in the
- Temperature compensation element 22 arranged phase change element is in thermal contact with the adjacent cover plates 12 of the respective modules 1 a and 1 b.
- the casing 28 can form a cavity 20 between the two cover plates, which is partially or completely connected to the
- Phase change element 18 can be filled.
- the temperature compensation element 22 shown schematically in FIG. 4 can accordingly be preferred according to this
- Embodiment serve as a module connection layer 30.
- three or more modules can also be connected to one another via a plurality of temperature compensation elements 22.
- the module connection can also be formed by edge strips, that is to say sidebars as shown in FIG. 1, edge strips each being connected to the cover plates 12 of the modules 1a and 1b, in particular by welding.
- edge strips each being connected to the cover plates 12 of the modules 1a and 1b, in particular by welding.
- the space between the modules 1a and 1b enclosed by the cover plates 12 of the modules 1a and 1b and the edge strips can then be filled with a phase change element 18.
