- From EP 838 577 B1, for example, such a conditioning module with filter, cooler and integrated pump is known which drives the entire oil circuit for supplying oil to the internal combustion engine. Due to the relative high pressures within the oil circuit, said conditioning module must be of robust construction and cannot be minimized much.

For this purpose, the conditioning module has a pump and at least one further conditioning device, in particular a cooling device, wherein the pump generates a fluid cycle of the fluid to be conditioned between a fluid sump of the aggregate, the pump and the conditioning device. Hereby it is possible for the first time to condition previously non-conditioned fluids such as, for example, differential oil or battery fluid and to thereby increase the performance capability of such aggregates.

FIG. 1 shows a possible use of theconditioning module 1 according to the invention. Up to now, usually, the engine oil, the fuel or sometimes also the gearbox oils are conditioned. With theconditioning module 1 according to the invention it is now possible, for example in a vehicle with hybrid drive, to also condition a fluid of abattery 12 as well as different gearbox fluids such as the one of adifferential 10 on a front axle and on a rear axle. This involves fluids which are substantially at rest and which have previously not been conditioned. However, by conditioning, the performance of said aggregates can be increased. In general, theconditioning module 1 can be used for any fluids which are at rest, in particular in the area of drives or gearboxes of alternative energy sources. Merely as an example of this, wind power plants, wave power plants, tidal power plants or solar plants are to be mentioned. - Ideally, the
conditioning module 1 is self-sufficient so that no cable connections or coolant connections are required. If air-cooledheat exchanger devices 2 are used for conditioning the fluid, no coolant connections are necessary. From the temperature difference that can exist in theheat exchanger device 2, under certain circumstances, apump 3 associated with theconditioning module 1 can be operated so that separate electrical connections are not required. In the event that the recovered waste heat is intended to be used for other areas of the vehicle, electrical connections for thepump 3 and coolant connections for theheat exchanger device 2 are needed. Preferably, very small types ofpumps 3 with low power consumption are used for this purpose. If, for example, micro annular gear pumps are used, no pulsations occur and the liquid is uniformly conditioned which is due to the fact that the flow generated by this type ofpumps 3 is very uniform. In order that apump 3 can be used which generates only low pressures, it is also required that theheat exchanger device 2 generates a pressure loss as low as possible. -
FIG. 2 shows aconditioning module 1 mounted to a differential/differential gear 10. Theconditioning module 1 is still relatively large relative to thegearbox 10, wherein the rule applies: the smaller the more versatile. In order to be able to fasten, in particular screw, theconditioning module 1 onto thegearbox 10, for example,receptacles 110 are provided. However, it is also conceivable to fasten it with other means. - In
FIG. 3 , agearbox housing 100 of thegearbox 10 is illustrated in the open state. Due to gravity, a fluid sump, in particular oil sump, accumulates in the lower part of thegearbox housing 100. In modern gearboxes, this can result in temperature problems. Here, theconditioning module 1 according to the invention is targeted on keeping the temperature of the fluid, in particular of the gearbox oil, low. Through an inlet opening 71 in the gearbox housing 100 and when thepump 3 is switched on, the gearbox oil which, in this case, is the pressureless fluid to be conditioned, can be pumped into theconditioning module 1. The inlet opening 71 is preferably arranged in thegearbox housing 100 in such a manner that the gearbox oil can be pumped from a sump without problems. After flowing through theconditioning module 1, the gearbox oil is fed again to thegearbox 10 via theoutlet 4 and the outlet opening 41. Between the inlet opening 71 and the outlet opening 41 there should be a spatial distance d to ensure that no fluid is sucked in again which has just been conditioned. Ideally, there is also a height difference h between the inlet opening 71 and the outlet opening 41 so that it is ensured that in fact the gearbox oil sump is conditioned. In different cases of use it can make sense to select a different distance d and a different height h. - The
pump 3 can be configured such that it generates a slow but uniform fluid flow in thegearbox housing 100. However, the pump can also be configured such that depending on the demand, a different pump volume per second is supplied through theconditioning module 1. This is controlled by a control circuit integrated in the conditioning module, wherein the control circuit can be placed in an extremely small SMD chip. The volume of the fluid to be conditioned depends also on the configuration of theheat exchanger device 2. Suitable asheat exchanger devices 2 are all compact and efficient heat exchangers which require a small installation space. - In
FIG. 4 , the structure of theconditioning module 1 is illustrated. It consists of the following components. The following components are illustrated here: theheat exchanger device 2, thepump 3, a module base plate which consists here of two pieces, namely amodule bed plate 5 and amodule cover plate 9 which closes the channels of the media in themodule bed plate 5, anoutlet 4 and an inlet 7. Further components, which are not shown here, can also be provided, e.g., a filter element which can also be replaceable, a thermostatic valve, a switch of any kind for switching on and off theconditioning module 1, if necessary, a water separator, etc. - The components and the
conditioning module 1 itself are fastened by means of through-openings 6, which can be configured in particular as bore holes, to agearbox housing 100 or also to other containers which contain the fluid to be conditioned. For thepump 3, anopening 73 is provided in themodule bed plate 5 in which opening the moving elements of thepump 3 are inserted. Thepump 3 then pumps the fluid to be conditioned through theopening 72 which corresponds with opening 71 in thegearbox housing 100 in which the fluid to be pumped is present. If, as in the exemplary embodiment shown here, a cooling fluid-cooled or water-cooledmodule bed plate 5 is used, then, for example, theinlet ports 57 andoutlet ports 58 for the cooling fluid are arranged on themodule bed plate 5. Said ports can also be attached at a different position on theheat exchanger device 2. For this reason, they are illustrated only schematically in this figure. -
FIG. 5 shows theinstallable conditioning module 1 as a whole. Due to thepump 3 engaging in themodule bed plate 5 of theconditioning module 1, the size of anopening 72 of themodule bed plate 5 is reduced. In themodule bed plate 5, a receptacle is provided for aseal 56 which seals the transition of the inlet 7 to thegearbox housing 100 where the fluid to be conditioned is present. Likewise, aseal 55 is provided at theoutlet 4, which seal is also received in a suitable receptacle on themodule bed plate 5. Theconditioning module 1 is fastened byscrews 60 or other fasteners in a form-fitting and tight manner to thegearbox housing 100 in which the fluid to be conditioned is present. Theoutlet 4 preferably has a length that allows that the fluid to be conditioned at the other end of thegearbox housing 100, in which the fluid to be conditioned is present, flows back into thegearbox housing 100. The distance d between theinlet opening 71 and theoutlet opening 41 should be the maximum distance. Also, a height difference h between theinlet opening 71 and theoutlet opening 41 optimizes the conditioning of the fluid. -
FIG. 6 shows the openmodule bed plate 5 withoutmodule cover plate 9. The insertedpump 3 with itsgear wheels 33 is visible. The fluid to be conditioned is supplied to theheat exchanger device 2 via achannel 80 which is arranged in themodule bed plate 5. Thechannel walls 52 of thechannels module bed plate 5. The arrow drawn as broken line represents the flow of the liquid through theheat exchanger device 2. From theheat exchanger device 2, the fluid to be conditioned gets back again via thechannel 81, theoutlet opening 42, theoutlet 4 and the outlet opening 41 into thegearbox housing 100 from which it was pumped. - In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the module base plate is located between the
gearbox housing 100 in which the fluid to be conditioned is present and the further components such aspump 3 andheat exchanger device 2. However, the module base plate can also be configured such that the further components are arranged in the module base plate. This is advantageous if the module base plate is made of plastic. It can also be made of metal, preferably aluminum, as in the shown exemplary embodiment, and can be manufactured and soldered together with theheat exchanger device 2 in a single process. - The module base plate shown here can be made in two pieces or more pieces, as needed.
-
FIG. 7 shows an exploded illustration of theconditioning module 1. All required components are illustrated. Corresponding to thechannels module bed plate 5, theopenings module cover plate 9 for the inflow and outflow of the fluid to be conditioned from theheat exchanger device 2. The openings and 91 are available for the coolant if theheat exchanger device 2 is connected via themodule bed plate 5 and associatedconnection ports outer wall 50 and thechannel walls 52 of the module bed plate can be relatively thin because the fluid to be conditioned is almost pressureless. Thescrews 60 fasten theconditioning module 1 to thegearbox housing 100 by means of the through-openings 6. - The shown
conditioning module 1 for pressureless fluids in a vehicle is suitably structured for the use with agearbox 10. However, if a sump generation with the fluid at rest does not take place, theconditioning module 1 has to be configured differently with respect to its structure. The arrangement ofpump 3 andheat exchanger device 2 is merely exemplary. Also, the structure of the module base plate has to be adapted according to the requirements because it contains the feeding and discharging channels of the media. Depending on the use of theconditioning module 1 it can also be required to protect the entire conditioning module by a cap against environmental influences. -
