Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Plattenelement für einen Plattenkühler sowie einen Plattenkühler, umfassend eine Mehrzahl von baugleichen Plattenelementen.The present invention relates to a plate element for a plate cooler and to a plate cooler, comprising a plurality of plate elements of the same construction.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Plattenkühler bekannt, bei denen eine Anzahl von zumeist baugleichen, alternierend angeordneten Plattenelementen übereinander angeordnet sind, wobei zwei getrennte Systeme von Kammern gebildet werden, wobei ein erstes wärmeübertragendes Medium durch das eine Kammersystem und ein zweites Medium durch das andere Kammersystem strömt. Allgemein besteht dabei die Problematik, die Strömungswege der Medien innerhalb der Kammern zu optimieren, so dass bei gegebener Baugröße und Plattenanzahl ein möglichst optimaler Wärmetausch zwischen den beiden Medien gegeben ist.Plate coolers are known from the prior art in which a number of mostly structurally identical, alternating plate elements are arranged one above the other, two separate systems of chambers being formed, a first heat-transferring medium through one chamber system and a second medium through the other chamber system flows. In general, there is the problem of optimizing the flow paths of the media within the chambers, so that the best possible heat exchange between the two media is given for a given size and number of plates.

DE 199 39 264 A1 beschreibt einen Plattenwärmerübertrager in Stapelbauweise, bei dem eine Mehrzahl identischer Plattenelemente aufeinander festgelegt und entlang eines konischen Außenrandes miteinander verlötet sind. Die Plattenelemente weisen jeweils vier im Wesentlichen kreisrunde Öffnungen innerhalb eines Bodenbereiches des Plattenelementes auf, wobei zwei der kreisrunden Öffnungen jeweils einen abgekragten Rand haben. Jeder der abgekragten Ränder ist zu dem Außenrand beabstandet angeordnet. Bei Stapelung der Plattenelemente ergibt sich in den Bereichen zwischen dem Außenrand und den Abkragungen der Öffnungen ein erhebliches Volumen, in dem sich ein wärmeführendes Medium mit besonders geringer Strömungsgeschwindigkeit befindet. Zum einen wird hierdurch der Wirkungsgrad des Wärmetauschers bei gegebenen Abmessungen ungünstig beeinflußt. Zum anderen ermöglichen solche Bereiche von annähernd stehendem Medium die Ablagerung von mitgeführten Partikeln und die Agglomeration zu großvolumigen Ablagerungen. Ein spontanes Lösen solcher größerer Ablagerungen kann sich schädlich auf ein Gesamtsystem auswirken, beispielsweise wenn der Wärmetauscher ein Ölkühler eines Kraftfahrzeugmotors ist. DE 199 39 264 A1 describes a plate heat exchanger in stack construction, in which a plurality of identical plate elements are fixed to one another and soldered to one another along a conical outer edge. The plate elements each have four essentially circular openings within a bottom area of the plate element, two of the circular openings each having a beveled edge. Each of the beveled edges is spaced from the outer edge. When the plate elements are stacked, there is a considerable volume in the areas between the outer edge and the projections of the openings, in which there is a heat-carrying medium with a particularly low flow velocity. On the one hand, this has an adverse effect on the efficiency of the heat exchanger given the dimensions. On the other hand, such areas of approximately standing medium enable the deposition of entrained particles and the agglomeration into large-volume deposits. A spontaneous loosening of such larger deposits can have detrimental effects on an overall system, for example if the heat exchanger is an oil cooler of a motor vehicle engine.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Plattenelement für einen Plattenkühler anzugeben, mittels dessen ein in seinem Wirkungsgrad und seine Ablagerungsresistenz verbesserter Plattenkühler herstellbar ist.It is the object of the invention to specify a plate element for a plate cooler, by means of which a plate cooler can be produced which is improved in terms of its efficiency and its resistance to deposits.

Diese Aufgabe wird für ein eingangs genanntes Plattenelement erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention for a plate element mentioned at the outset with the features of claim 1.

Durch diese Formgebung, insbesondere durch die zwischen Seitenwandung und zweitem Öffnungsrand verlaufende Sockelfläche wird auf einfache Weise erreicht, dass ein besonders kleiner Anteil an wärmetragendem Medium in einem strömungsarmen Bereich eines Plattenkühlers vorhanden ist. Insbesondere hinsichtlich der Medienströmung ungünstige Bereiche zwischen Außenrand des Plattenkühlers und Medienöffnungen werden verkleinert oder eliminiert, so daß das Medium hauptsächlich zwischen denThrough this shape, in particular through the base surface running between the side wall and the second opening edge, it is achieved in a simple manner that a particularly small proportion of heat-carrying medium is present in a low-flow area of a plate cooler. Areas between the outer edge of the plate cooler and media openings that are unfavorable in particular with regard to the media flow are reduced in size or eliminated so that the medium mainly between the

Öffnungen und somit in seinen Hauptströmungsbereichen vorhanden ist. Insgesamt kann somit eine gleiche Tauscherleistung bei kleinerem im Plattenkühler vorhandenem Medienvolumen erzielt werden. Hierdurch kann ein Plattenkühler insgesamt leichter und kleinbauender ausgebildet werden.Openings and thus is present in its main flow areas. Overall, the same exchanger performance can be achieved with a smaller volume of media in the plate cooler. As a result, a plate cooler can be designed to be lighter and smaller overall.

Im Interesse einer einfachen Herstellung eines Plattenkühlers ist das Plattenelement mit einem zweiten, baugleichen Plattenelement verbindbar, wobei in der verbundenen Anordnung eine im Wesentlichen flächige Anlage der Sockelfläche des Plattenelements des zweiten Plattenelement vorliegt. Durch die baugleiche Ausführung des zweiten Plattenelements wird eine besonders wirtschaftliche Fertigung eines Plattenkühlers ermöglicht.In the interest of a simple production of a plate cooler, the plate element can be connected to a second, structurally identical plate element, with the base surface of the plate element of the second plate element being substantially flat in the connected arrangement. The structurally identical design of the second plate element enables particularly economical production of a plate cooler.

Weiterhin bevorzugt ist das Plattenelement dabei mit dem zweiten Plattenelement zumindest im Bereich der flächigen Anlage flächig verlötet. Im Gegensatz zu der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten im Wesentlichen linienförmigen Verlötung, die durch die im Prinzip eindimensionale Ausbildung der Ränder gegeben ist, kann somit bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Plattenelement eine wesentlich größere Kontaktfläche benachbarter Plattenelemente eines Plattenkühlers verlötet sein, so dass insgesamt eine besonders große Festigkeit und eine besonders große Langzeitstabilität gegenüber Rissen und auftretenden Leckagen gegeben ist.Furthermore, the plate element is preferably soldered flat to the second plate element at least in the area of the flat contact. In contrast to the essentially line-shaped soldering known from the prior art, which is provided by the basically one-dimensional design of the edges, a significantly larger contact surface of adjacent plate elements of a plate cooler can thus be soldered in a plate element according to the invention, so that overall a particularly large Strength and a particularly high long-term stability against cracks and leaks that occur is given.

Bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Plattenelement weisen die Öffnungen eine sich in einer Längsrichtung erstreckende, von einer Kreisform abweichende Form auf. Hier ist auf einfache Weise ermöglicht, dass das Medium in einem besonders breiten Bereich einen aus erfindungsgemäßen Plattenelementen bestehenden Plattenkühler durchströmt. Eine sichere Verbindung von Plattenelementen mit von einer Kreisform abweichender Form der Öffnungen ist insbesondere bei der vorgenannten flächigen Anlage beziehungsweise flächigen Verlötung gegeben.In a plate element according to the invention, the openings have a shape that extends in a longitudinal direction and deviates from a circular shape. Here it is made possible in a simple manner that the medium flows through a plate cooler consisting of plate elements according to the invention in a particularly wide area. A secure connection of plate elements with the shape of the openings deviating from a circular shape is given in particular in the case of the aforementioned flat contact or flat soldering.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Plattenelement weist eine Profilierung auf, wobei die Profilierung in einem Strömungsweg zur Beeinflussung der Strömung des Mediums angeordnet ist. Durch eine solche Profilierung kann die Verteilung des Mediumstromes über das Plattenelement zum Zwecke der Optimierung der Tauscherleistung verbessert werden. Im Interesse einer einfachen Herstellung ist die Profilierung bevorzugt durch Prägung bzw. Verformung des Bodens des Plattenelements ausgebildet.A plate element according to the invention has a profile, the profile being arranged in a flow path for influencing the flow of the medium. Such a profiling can improve the distribution of the medium flow over the plate element for the purpose of optimizing the exchanger performance. In the interests of simple production, the profiling is preferably formed by embossing or deforming the bottom of the plate element.

Dabei ist die Profilierung wellenförmig, wobei zwischen der Profilierung des Plattenelements und der Profilierung eines baugleichen zweiten Plattenelements, welches an dem ersten Plattenelement festgelegt ist, eine Mehrzahl von Berührungsstellen der Profilierungen vorliegen. Hierdurch läßt sich eine besonders gezielte Führung des Mediumstromes durch die Profilierung erreichen.The profiling is wave-shaped, with a plurality of contact points of the profiling being present between the profiling of the plate element and the profiling of a structurally identical second plate element which is fixed to the first plate element. In this way, a particularly targeted guidance of the medium flow through the profiling can be achieved.

Im Interesse einer einfachen Herstellung ist das Plattenelement insgesamt aus einer Metallplatte konstanter Dicke herstellbar. Die Formung des Plattenelements aus der Metallplatte konstanter Dicke kann dabei mittels an sich bekannter Verfahren erfolgen, etwa mittels Tiefziehen, Gesenkschmieden oder anderen Methoden. Das Material der Metallplatte ist bevorzugt eine Aluminiumlegierung, um insgesamt eine leichte Bauweise eines Plattenkühlers zu ermöglichen.In the interests of simple production, the plate element can be produced entirely from a metal plate of constant thickness. The plate element can be formed from the metal plate of constant thickness by means of methods known per se, for example by means of deep drawing, die forging or other methods. The material of the metal plate is preferably an aluminum alloy in order to enable a plate cooler to be constructed in a lightweight manner overall.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Plattenkühler umfasst eine Mehrzahl von baugleichen Plattenelementen nach Anspruch 1. Hierdurch werden die Vorteile der Formgebung des erfindungsgemäßen Plattenelements mit einer kostengünstigen Serienfertigung eines Plattenkühlers kombiniert.A plate cooler according to the invention comprises a plurality of structurally identical plate elements according to claim 1. This combines the advantages of the shape of the plate element according to the invention with an inexpensive series production of a plate cooler.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale ergeben sich aus dem nachfolgend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel sowie aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.Further advantages and features emerge from the exemplary embodiment described below and from the dependent claims.

Das Plattenelement gemäß Fig. 1 umfasst eine Bodenebene 1 mit zwei sich in Strömungsrichtung eines Medium gegenüberliegenden Öffnungen 2, 3 eines ersten Typs, welche beide einen in der Bodenebene 1 liegenden Rand 2a, 3a aufweisen. Die beiden ersten Öffnungen 2, 3 sind jeweils länglich ausgebildet, wobei ein Längsdurchmesser der Öffnungen 2, 3 etwas mehr als das 1,5-fache eines Querdurchmessers ausmacht. Die Strömung des Mediums erfolgt senkrecht zu der Längsrichtung der Öffnungen 2, 3. Das Plattenelement 1 weist in der Draufsicht eine rechteckige Form mit stark verrundeten Ecken auf. Die beiden ersten Öffnungen 2, 3 sind beide an der gleichen Längsseite in den Eckbereichen des Rechtecks angeordnet.The plate element according to Fig. 1 comprises a floor plane 1 with two openings 2, 3 of a first type opposite one another in the direction of flow of a medium, both of which have an edge 2a, 3a lying in the floor plane 1. The two first openings 2, 3 are each designed to be elongated, with a longitudinal diameter of the openings 2, 3 being slightly more than 1.5 times a transverse diameter. The flow of the medium is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the openings 2, 3. The plate element 1 has a rectangular shape with strongly rounded corners in plan view. The two first openings 2, 3 are both arranged on the same longitudinal side in the corner areas of the rectangle.

An der gegenüberliegenden Längsseite sind zwei Öffnungen 4, 5 eines zweiten Typs vorgesehen, welche in Form und Öffnungsweite den ersten Öffnungen 2,3 gleichen. Die Ränder 4a, 5a der zweiten Öffnungen 4, 5 sind jedoch nicht in Höhe der Bodenebene 1 angeordnet, sondern liegen in einer zu der Bodenebene 1 parallelen Ebene. Ebenso in dieser Ebene liegen den Öffnungen 4,5 jeweils zugeordnete Sockelflächen 6, 7, des Plattenelements, welche zu der Bodenebene 1 parallel, aber in Richtung der Hochachse des Plattenelements versetzt angeordnet sind. Die Hochachse ist als in Fig. 6 senkrecht zur Zeichenebene definiert. Die Öffnungen 4,5 sind vorliegend als einfache Durchbrechungen der Sockelflächen 6, 7 ausgeformt. Sie können jedoch auch eine Abkragung aufweisen oder andere Abweichungen von einem einfachen Ausschnitt in der Sockelfläche.On the opposite longitudinal side, two openings 4, 5 of a second type are provided, which are identical in shape and opening width to the first openings 2, 3. The edges 4a, 5a of the second openings 4, 5, however, are not arranged at the level of the floor plane 1, but rather lie in a plane parallel to the floor plane 1. Also in this plane are base surfaces 6, 7 of the plate element assigned to the openings 4, 5, which are arranged parallel to the floor plane 1 but offset in the direction of the vertical axis of the plate element. The vertical axis is as in Fig. 6 defined perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. In the present case, the openings 4, 5 are formed as simple openings in the base surfaces 6, 7. However, they can also have a bevel or other deviations from a simple cutout in the base surface.

Die Sockelflächen 6, 7 sind teilweise von einem jeweiligen verrundeten Rand 6a, 7a der Bodenebene 1 begrenzt und auf Höhe der Sockelflächen 6, 7 teilweise von einem verrundeten Ansatz 8b einer das Plattenelement umlaufenden Seitenwandung 8. Die Seitenwandung 8 umläuft das Plattenelement vollständig und weist einen vollständig in der gleichen Ebene liegenden Außenrand 8a auf. Diese Seitenwandung 8 ist zudem nicht rechtwinklig zu der Bodenebene 1 angeordnet, sondern leicht nach außen geneigt, weswegen sie insgesamt eine konische Anordnung hat. Hierdurch werden mehrerer baugleiche Plattenelemente ineinander stapelbar, wobei der Außenrand 8a jeweils auf einer gewissen Höhe der Seitenwandung 8 des nächsten Plattenelements anliegt und an dieser Stelle mit diesem verlötet ist (siehe Fig. 4).The base surfaces 6, 7 are partially delimited by a respective rounded edge 6a, 7a of the floor plane 1 and at the level of the base surfaces 6, 7 partially by a rounded projection 8b of a side wall 8 surrounding the plate element Outer edge 8a lying completely in the same plane. This side wall 8 is also not arranged at right angles to the floor plane 1, but rather inclined slightly outwards, which is why it has a conical arrangement overall. As a result, several structurally identical plate elements can be stacked one inside the other, the outer edge 8a in each case resting at a certain height on the side wall 8 of the next plate element and being soldered to it at this point (see FIG Fig. 4 ).

Die Sockelflächen 6, 7 erstrecken sich jeweils von dem Ansatz 8b der Seitenwandung 8 bis zu dem Rand 4a, 5a der zweiten Öffnungen 4, 5. Der Ansatzes 8b liegt im Bereich der Sockelflächen 6, 7 nicht auf gleicher Höhe wie im Bereich des Bodens 1, weshalb Stufen 8c im Verlauf des Ansatzes 8c vorkommen. Wie die gestapelte Darstellung gemäß Fig. 4 verdeutlicht, ergibt die flächige Anlage einer Sockelfläche 6, 7 an dem Boden 1 des nachfolgenden, um 180° verdreht angeordneten Plattenelements eine flächige Verlötung, die besonders stabil und sicher gegenüber während der Betriebsdauer auftretender Leckagen ist.The base surfaces 6, 7 each extend from the extension 8b of the side wall 8 to the edge 4a, 5a of the second openings 4, 5. The extension 8b is not at the same height in the region of the base surfaces 6, 7 as in the region of the base 1 , which is why stages 8c occur in the course of approach 8c. Like the stacked representation according to Fig. 4 clarifies, the flat contact of a base surface 6, 7 on the bottom 1 of the following plate element, which is rotated by 180 °, results in a flat soldering which is particularly stable and secure against leaks occurring during the operating period.

Wie Fig. 4 verdeutlicht, ist durch die alternierende Anordnung und dichtende Verlötung mehrerer Plattenelemente ein Teil eines Plattenkühlers ausgebildet, der ein erstes System A und ein zweites System B von Kammern umfasst. Dabei durchfließt ein erstes wärmetragendes Medium, beispielsweise Wasser und/oder Glykol, das erste System A jeweils von einer Plattenöffnung zur anderen senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene in Fig. 4, und ein zweites wärmetragendes Medium, beispielsweise Motoröl, durchfließt das zweite System B jeweils von einer Plattenöffnung zur anderen senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene in Fig. 4.As Fig. 4 clarified, a part of a plate cooler is formed by the alternating arrangement and sealing soldering of several plate elements, which comprises a first system A and a second system B of chambers. A first heat-carrying medium, for example water and / or glycol, flows through the first system A from one plate opening to the other perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in FIG Fig. 4 , and a second heat-transferring medium, for example engine oil, flows through the second system B from one plate opening to the other perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in Fig. 4 .

Die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Plattenelements kann durch ein herkömmliches Umformverfahren erfolgen, wobei ein Rohling eine einfache Platte konstanter Dicke aus einer Aluminiumlegierung ist.The manufacture of the panel element according to the invention can be done by a conventional forming process, where a blank is a simple plate of constant thickness made of an aluminum alloy.

Das bevorzugte Plattenelement gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 5 weist zudem eine Profilierung 9 der Bodenebene 1 auf. Diese Profilierung umfasst im Wesentlichen eine Mehrzahl von Zickzack- oder wellenförmigen Vertiefungen, die jeweils einen durchgehenden Kanal darstellen und von unten in den Boden 1 des Plattenelements eingeprägt sind. Jeder der zickzackförmigen Kanäle 9 quert einen gedachten Strömungsweg des Mediums, welcher jeweils von einer kurzen Seite des Plattenelements zur gegenüberliegenden kurzen Seite des Plattenelements verläuft. Die Kanäle 9 sind zudem so positioniert, dass sich bei Stapelung baugleicher Plattenelemente eine möglichst große Zahl von Überkreuzungen von Kanälen 9 des einen Plattenelements mit Kanälen 9 des anderen Plattenelements ergibt. An diesen Kreuzungsstellen liegen jeweils Berührungspunkte der benachbarten Kanäle 9 vor, was durch eine entsprechende Dimensionierung ihrer Prägetiefe sichergestellt ist. Bevorzugt sind die Platten an den Berührungspunkten miteinander verlötet.The preferred panel element according to FIGS. 1 to 5 also has a profile 9 of the floor plane 1. This profiling essentially comprises a plurality of zigzag or wave-shaped depressions which each represent a continuous channel and are embossed from below into the bottom 1 of the plate element. Each of the zigzag-shaped channels 9 crosses an imaginary flow path of the medium, which in each case runs from a short side of the plate element to the opposite short side of the plate element. The channels 9 are also positioned in such a way that when identical plate elements are stacked, the greatest possible number of crossovers of channels 9 of one plate element with channels 9 of the other plate element results. At these intersection points there are respective points of contact of the adjacent channels 9, which is ensured by appropriate dimensioning of their embossing depth. The plates are preferably soldered to one another at the points of contact.

Insgesamt wird hierdurch eine gezielte Umlenkung und Verwirbelung des durchströmenden Mediums erreicht, was zu einer optimalen Kapazität des Wärmetauschers beiträgt.Overall, a targeted deflection and swirling of the medium flowing through is achieved in this way, which contributes to an optimal capacity of the heat exchanger.

In einer Abwandlung gemäß Fig. 6 ist ein nicht erfindungsgemäßes Plattenelement bis auf die Profilierungen 9 identisch mit dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 5 ausgebildet, wobei anstelle der Profilierungen 9 eine in Fig. 6 schraffierte Turbulenzeinlage 10 an dem Plattenelement vorgesehen. ist. Derartige Turbulenzeinlagen 10 zur Verbesserung der thermischen Tauscherleistung sind an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt.In a modification according to Fig. 6 a plate element not according to the invention is identical to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG FIGS. 1 to 5 formed, wherein instead of the profiles 9 an in Fig. 6 hatched turbulence insert 10 is provided on the plate element. is. Such turbulence inserts 10 for improving the thermal exchanger performance are known per se from the prior art.

Sämtliche der Zeichnungen sind maßstabsgerecht, so dass ihnen gegebenenfalls Maßverhältnisse entnommen werden können.All of the drawings are true to scale so that dimensional relationships can be taken from them if necessary.
