Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger, such as in particular an exhaust gas evaporator, having a housing with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet for a first medium, such as in particular exhaust gas, and having tubes which are arranged in the housing transversely with respect to the flow direction of the first fluid and through which a second medium can flow and the ends of which are arranged and connected in a fluidtight manner in a tube sheet at the inlet side and at the outlet side.
  • a heat exchanger such as in particular an exhaust gas evaporator
  • thermoelectric elements there are various methods for this energy recovery currently being tested. Thus, there are attempts to recover the energy content electrically by means of thermoelectric elements. However, this is currently restricted to low powers, and therefore only about 1 kW is achieved by this means in the case of passenger vehicles.
  • This recovery can be accomplished thermally, i.e. the energy of the exhaust gas is used to heat the passenger compartment or to heat the engine and/or transmission.
  • thermal energy is indeed taken from the exhaust gas, but the energy is returned to the engine in mechanical form.
  • the method is based on a steam power process, in which a certain suitable medium is evaporated and superheated in an evaporator and expanded in an expander or in a turbine, thus producing mechanical energy.
  • Evaporation of the medium is accomplished by means of heating using the hot exhaust gas.
  • the medium can be raised to a relatively high pressure. In the case of water as a medium, it is possible here to achieve about 40-50 bar. When using organic refrigerants, pressures of up to about 30 bar are advantageous.
  • the medium to be evaporated is heated to boiling temperature in a first step, then evaporated and finally superheated. This can take place at two different locations in a vehicle. Firstly, heat can be removed from the exhaust gas to evaporate the fluid which is to be evaporated in an evaporator, which is used instead of the exhaust gas cooler or in addition thereto. Secondly, the main exhaust gas flow can also be used as a heat source in order likewise to evaporate a fluid in what is referred to as a main exhaust gas evaporator.
