Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for multi-stage heat exchange, and to a process for producing an apparatus of this type.
  • Cooling and heating concepts of the current state of the art generally provide for single-stage heat transfer in heat exchangers.
  • fluids such as for example coolant, refrigerant, oil, exhaust gas or charge air
  • the efficiency which can be achieved with single-stage temperature control is normally limited. Therefore, to improve the performance of cooling circuits, it is in some cases appropriate for a fluid to be cooled or heated over two stages. This is possible if, in addition to the fluid whose temperature is to be controlled, there are two further fluids which are at two different temperature levels.
  • one drawback of the two-stage control of the temperature of the fluids is that the use of two heat exchangers connected in series in the conventional way entails considerably increased costs as well as a greater installation space requirement.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an apparatus in which the at least two-stage cooling or heating of a fluid can be of compact and inexpensive configuration.
  • the object is achieved by an apparatus as claimed in claim 1 .
  • the process according to the invention for producing an apparatus of this type forms the subject matter of claim 20 .

  • a fluid distribution and/or collection device in the case of the flow devices through which substantially liquid fluids flow, is to be understood as meaning substantially gastight and liquid-tight hollow bodies within which fluids can flow and within which these fluids are collected.
  • these fluid distribution and/or collection devices can also be used to distribute the respective fluids between a plurality of flow elements and/or to collect them again from various flow elements.
  • the term flow-connected is to be understood as meaning that a fluid can flow between the flow elements, fluid distribution and/or collection devices.
  • substantially gastight and liquid-tight is to be understood as meaning in particular, although not exclusively, a division by separating devices, so that it is impossible for any fluid to flow past the respective separating device along certain directions of the flow devices, flow elements, fluid distribution and/or collection devices.
  • direction of flow or main direction of flow of a fluid is to be understood as meaning the direction which the fluid preferably adopts within a flow device, a flow element and/or a fluid distribution and/or collection device, disregarding locally limited changes in direction of the fluid.

  • FIG. 10 additionally shows a plan view of this exemplary embodiment which illustrates that the flow assembly comprising the fluids 1 and 3 is operated predominantly in cocurrent, the flow assembly comprising the fluids 1 and 2 is operated predominantly in countercurrent and not predominantly in crosscurrent in accordance with FIG. 7 .
  • This variant has advantages with regard to the cooling of exhaust gases.
  • HT flow assembly high-temperature flow assembly
  • LT flow assembly low-temperature flow assembly
  • LT flow assembly low-temperature flow assembly
  • a considerably smaller cool mass flow of coolant flows in countercurrent to the exhaust gas, which has already been greatly cooled.
  • countercurrent connection can be permitted, since there is no longer a risk of boiling, on account of the exhaust-gas cooling which has already taken place.
  • the countercurrent connection has the advantage that the heat exchange between exhaust gas and coolant is very high and the exhaust gas can be intensively cooled.
  • FIG. 11 shows that the position of the fluid inflow and outflow device, depending on the particular application, may also be set in such a way that the flow through the entire cooler is in countercurrent (A) or cocurrent (B). This is possible if there is no risk of the coolant(s) boiling.
  • FIG. 12 diagrammatically depicts the incorporation of a cooler 300 as shown in FIG. 10 for the case of exhaust gas cooling for an internal combustion engine 400 .
  • the LT flow assembly 311 of the cooler 300 has a low mass flow, which is cooled to a very low temperature by air in a separate low-temperature cooler 310 , flowing through it. This low mass flow is branched off from the main flow downstream of the main air cooler 320 and cooled in the low-temperature cooler 310 .
  • the HT flow assembly 321 of the two-stage cooler 300 has a greater mass flow at a higher temperature level, which is branched off directly from the mass flow of coolant flowing to the main air cooler 320 , flowing through it.
  • the two-stage heat exchanger prefferably has a dedicated coolant circuit, i.e. not to be incorporated in the actual engine cooling circuit. It is also possible for the LT circuit to have a dedicated pump.
