Description
- In order to increase the power density of internal combustion engines and in order to improve the consumption and emission behavior, the air which is sucked in by the internal combustion engine is charged in a single-stage or multi-stage process by means of at least one compressor, in particular turbocharger, or in the case of multi-stage charging, by means of a plurality of compressors, in particular turbochargers. During charging, the charge air is heated, and as a result, the charge air must be cooled again by means of one or by means of a plurality of charge-air cooling stages after charging.
- A further means for reducing the emissions of the internal combustion engine is the exhaust-gas cooling of recirculated exhaust gas; here, a part of the exhaust gas is cooled, in particular in one or in a plurality of exhaust-gas heat exchangers, and is subsequently supplied back to the engine, in particular to the charge air.
- Multi-stage cooling of the charge air is known in which at least one cooling stage is an evaporator which is connected to the refrigeration circuit of an air-conditioning system. Here, the evaporator for charge-air cooling is preferably arranged as close as possible to or in the air distributor in order in particular to prevent a re-heating of the charge air on account of the high engine temperature.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,143 discloses a cooling system for cooling charge air, which cooling system is arranged in the interior of an internal combustion engine. The system has a two-stage turbocharger subsystem with two compressors which are driven by turbines and which are arranged in series with two intermediate coolers and a refrigerant subsystem.

FIG. 1 shows a section illustration through a charge-air cooler 9 which is integrated into theintake pipe 2 and has a regulatingdevice 4 which is designed in the manner of a lamella slide. - The
device 1 for charge-air cooling has ahousing 2, in particular an intake pipe, in which is arranged at least onefirst heat exchanger 9, in particular an evaporator. The evaporator has a number of third flow ducts which are embodied astubes 6. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, thetubes 6 are embodied as flat tubes. Said flat tubes have a substantially slot-shaped cross section. In another exemplary embodiment (not illustrated), the webs are divided into a plurality of individual ducts. - In another exemplary embodiment, the
tubes 6 have a round, elliptical, star-shaped, triangular, rectangular or polygonal cross section, or a cross section with a combination of the above-specified shapes. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, thetubes 6 are formed from a metal, in particular from aluminum or from noble steel. In another exemplary embodiment, thetubes 6 are formed from a thermally conductive material and/or from ceramic and/or from plastic and/or from a fiber composite material. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, thefirst heat exchanger 9 is embodied as an evaporator. In another exemplary embodiment, thefirst heat exchanger 9 can be embodied as an evaporator of a refrigerant circuit for an air-conditioning system and/or as a condenser of an air-conditioning system and/or as an oil cooler and/or as a transmission oil cooler and/or as a steering oil cooler and/or as an exhaust-gas cooler and/or as a charge-air cooler and/or as a coolant cooler and/or as a gas cooler for an air-conditioning system which is operated in particular with CO2. - The
first heat exchanger 9, in particular the evaporator, has at least one collecting tank. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, thefirst heat exchanger 9 has two collecting tanks into which thetubes 6 are inserted and to which thetubes 6 are connected, in particular by means of soldering, welding, adhesive bonding and the like. The collecting tanks (not illustrated) are formed for example from plastic or from a metal such as for example aluminum or steel or noble steel. In addition, the collecting tanks can also be formed from a fiber composite material or from ceramic. In the collecting tanks (not illustrated), the refrigerant and/or the coolant which flows through thetubes 6 is collected and distributed to thetubes 6. - In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the
first heat exchanger 9 has ninetubes 6, in particular flat tubes. In another exemplary embodiment, theheat exchanger 9 has one to nine or more than ninetubes 6, in particular flat tubes. -
First flow ducts 7 orsecond flow ducts 8 are arranged between thetubes 6, in particular the flat tubes, in particular between twoadjacent tubes 6. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, afirst flow duct 7, followed by asecond flow duct 8 between the next tube pair oftubes 6, are arranged alternately between thetubes 6.

Thethrottle flap 3 can be adjusted in a continuously variable fashion and has a throttle flap angle α with respect to the air inflow direction LE. The throttle flap angle α can assume values between 0° and 360°. If the throttle flap assumes an angle α=0° or α=180°, then the resistance for the inflowing air is at its lowest. If thethrottle flap 3 assumes an angle α=90° or an angle α=270°, then the resistance for the inflowing air is at its greatest. Athrottle flap 3 is necessary in the case in particular of spark-ignition engines. In the case of diesel engines, athrottle flap 3 is not strictly necessary. In another exemplary embodiment, the throttle flap can also be arranged, as viewed in the air flow direction LE, downstream of theregulating device 4 and/or downstream of thefirst heat exchanger 9 and/or downstream of theinfeed device 10 and/or downstream of the mixingdevice 12. In another exemplary embodiment, more than onethrottle flap 3 is arranged in thedevice 1. - A regulating
device 4 is arranged upstream of the first heat exchanger, in particular the evaporator, as viewed in the air flow direction LE. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the regulatingdevice 4 is designed as alamella slide 4. The regulating device, in particular the lamella slide, has a plurality ofclosure elements 5. Theclosure elements 5 are embodied for example as lamellae. The lamellae have a substantially rectangular shape. In another exemplary embodiment, the closure elements, in particular the lamellae, may have a round and/or elliptical and/or triangular and/or rectangular and/or polygonal shape or a shape resulting from the combination of the above-specified shapes. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the regulating device, in particular the lamella slide, assumes a position in which thesecond flow ducts 8 are closed off, so that first medium, in particular charge air, can flow only through thefirst flow ducts 7 and thereby be cooled. In a further position which is not illustrated in the illustrated exemplary embodiment inFIG. 1 , theclosure elements 5 close off only thefirst flow ducts 7, so that first medium, in particular charge air, flows only through thesecond flow ducts 8 and is thereby substantially cooled to a negligible degree. In addition, the regulating device can, in another, likewise not illustrated position, close off thefirst flow ducts 7 and thesecond flow ducts 8 at least in sections, so that first medium, in particular charge air, flows both through thefirst flow ducts 7 and also through thesecond flow ducts 8, with the proportion of the first medium which flows through thefirst flow ducts 7 being cooled, and the proportion of the first medium which flows through thesecond flow ducts 8 substantially not being cooled. - In another exemplary embodiment, the regulating device, in particular the lamella slide, is arranged downstream of the
first heat exchanger 9, in particular downstream of the evaporator, as viewed in the air inflow direction LE. In another exemplary embodiment, the regulatingdevice 4, in particular the lamella slide, is arranged in thefirst heat exchanger 9, in particular in the evaporator, or is formed in one piece therewith or is integrated into thefirst heat exchanger 9, in particular the evaporator. Arranged adjacent to thefirst heat exchanger 9, in particular the evaporator, is anexpansion valve 17. Theexpansion valve 17 is connected to a refrigerant circuit (not illustrated in any more detail). From theexpansion valve 17, arefrigerant inlet line 18 leads into a collecting tank (not illustrated) of the first heat exchanger, of the evaporator, 9. Arefrigerant outlet line 19 leads from a collecting tank (not illustrated) of thefirst heat exchanger 9 to theexpansion valve 17.
