Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat exchanger with a first flow channel, which is traversed by a first fluid, and with a second flow channel, which is traversed by a second fluid, wherein the first flow channel has a first section, a second section and a deflection, wherein the first subsection is in fluid communication with the second subsection over the deflection region and the first subsection, the second subsection and the deflection region can be flowed around by the second fluid.
- U-flow heat exchangers are used. These heat exchangers are characterized in that the fluid flowing through the heat exchanger flows in at an end region of the heat exchanger and is deflected by approximately 180 degrees at an end region opposite this end region. The fluid finally flows out of the heat exchanger at the end region where it has flowed.
- Heat exchangers with such a configuration are preferably used when the installation space no longer permits conventionally flow-through heat exchangers or speak of other boundary conditions for use.
- the exhaust gas recirculation system in this case has a heat transfer unit, which comprises a heat exchanger, which has a deflection of a fluid to be cooled by about 180 degrees.
- the heat exchanger has for this purpose a flow channel, which is U-shaped.
- both the fluid inlet of the flow channel and the fluid outlet are arranged at a common end region of the heat exchanger.
- the flow channel is in the region of the outflow, in the region of the return flow and in the region of the deflection of a second fluid flows around, whereby a heat transfer between the fluid within the flow channel and the fluid flow around the flow channel is achieved.
- a disadvantage of the solutions in the prior art is in particular that the deflection of the heat exchanger either not at all or only by the air surrounding the heat exchanger is cooled. Furthermore, in heat exchangers, which provide a flow around the flow channel including the deflection, often the maximum heat transfer is too low.
- An embodiment of the invention relates to a heat exchanger having a first flow channel through which a first fluid can flow and with a second flow channel through which a second fluid can flow, the first flow channel having a first subsection, a second subsection and a deflection region, wherein the first portion is in fluid communication with the second portion over the deflection region and the first portion, the second portion and the deflection of the second fluid are flowed around, wherein the first portion and / or the second portion of the first flow channel in each case by a plurality of Tubes is formed.
- a deflected along its flow direction heat exchanger is particularly advantageous because overall the overall length of the heat exchanger can be made shorter than a straight-flow heat exchanger.
- a deflecting region surrounded by a second fluid is advantageous because it provides an additional heat transfer capability within the heat exchanger, whereby the efficiency or the performance of the heat exchanger can be increased.
- the first section and / or the second section of the first flow channel is advantageously formed from tubes.
- Tubes are particularly advantageous because they are inexpensive to produce and are available in a variety of different shapes on the market.
- the total heat transfer surface can be increased, whereby an improved heat transfer between the fluid within the tubes and the fluid outside the tubes can be achieved.
- the heat exchanger has a housing which is formed in one or more parts with at least a first housing part and a second housing part.
- the housing may be better adapted to the shape of the heat exchanger.
- undercuts can be realized by a multi-part housing, which can not be realized, for example, by one-piece deep-drawn housing.
- the housing is advantageously made of an aluminum material and produced in a die-casting process. In this case, either all housing parts or only individual housing parts can be generated in this way.
- the housing or individual housing parts may be made of a steel material, in particular stainless steel, or a plastic. Made of plastic housing or housing parts are preferably made in an injection molding process.
- the housing at least partially forms the second flow channel.
- the housing surrounds the first flow channel such that a cavity is formed between the outer walls of the first flow channel and the inner walls of the housing, which forms the second flow channel. By flowing through this second flow channel, the first flow channel is flowed around, whereby a heat transfer between the fluid in the first flow channel and the fluid in the second flow channel can be generated.
- first housing part surrounds the first and second part section and the second housing part surrounds the deflection area.
- the subsections can advantageously be encompassed by a simple cuboid structure, while the deflection region can be encompassed, for example, by a further housing part which, for example, in the form of a housing part deep-drawn lid can be formed and can be produced in a separate manufacturing process.
- the tubesheet with a lid forms a collecting box, wherein the internal volume of the collecting box forms the deflection region.
- a fluid-tight deflection region can be produced by known production methods.
- a flow path of the second flow channel is formed between an outer wall delimiting the deflection region and an inner wall of the housing and / or a wall of the first flow channel, which can be flowed through by the second fluid.
- This flow path is particularly advantageous, since it can flow around the deflection region with the second fluid, which is preferably cooling. As a result, the overall heat transfer area between the first fluid and the second fluid is increased, whereby the performance of the heat exchanger is improved.
- turbulence inserts and / or cross-sectional narrowing means are arranged on the outer wall of the deflection region and / or on the inner wall of the housing.
- the fluid flow in the flow path can be advantageously influenced.
- the effective cross-flow area can be influenced, which has a direct influence on the occurring pressure loss within the heat exchanger.
- the course of flow within the flow path can also be influenced.
- the housing has a first fluid connection and a second fluid connection, via which the second fluid can be supplied into the housing and can be discharged from the housing.
- first section and the second section and / or the deflection of the first flow channel into the housing, which at least partially forms the second flow channel can be integrated such that the second flow channel fluid-tight with respect to the First flow channel and / or the deflection region and the environment is sealed.
- a fluid-tight seal of the flow channels with respect to the respective other flow channel and the environment is particularly advantageous in order to ensure the functionality of the heat exchanger.
- a mixing of the fluids could occur, which can lead to damage of the heat exchanger and / or the upstream and downstream components.
- tubes are accommodated at least at a common end region in a tube plate.
- the tubes are advantageously accommodated at a common end region in a tube plate. This increases the stability of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, by providing a tube plate at a common end region, a particularly simple connection to a fluid supply line and a fluid discharge can be achieved.
- the fluid supply and the fluid discharge of the first flow channel are arranged at a common end region of the heat exchanger. This allows a particularly compact design of the heat exchanger.
- the first fluid is a gas and the second fluid is a coolant.
- the first fluid is a gas and the second fluid is a coolant.
- a cooling of the in the first flow channel flowing fluid can be achieved advantageously.
- the second fluid has a lower temperature level than the first fluid.
- the second fluid serves to cool the first fluid.
- the second fluid can advantageously be incorporated into a cooling circuit in order to always ensure the lowest possible temperature level for the second fluid.
- the second fluid in an alternative embodiment, but also have a higher temperature level than the first fluid. This is especially true when the heat exchanger is used to heat the first fluid.
- the first fluid in the deflection region can be deflected by 180 degrees along its direction of flow.
- a deflection of about 180 degrees is particularly advantageous since in this way the fluid connections can be provided at a common end region of the heat exchanger.
- the maximum amount of heat that can be transferred may be larger or smaller.
- a second fluid which is preferably a cooling fluid, flows around.
- the Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a heat exchanger 1.
- the heat exchanger 1 is surrounded by a housing 2.
- the housing 2 has on its outer side a plurality of ribs 5, which increase the structural rigidity of the housing 2.
- the ribs 5 are for this purpose distributed on the housing 2 load.
- the housing 2 has a holding element 4, with which the heat exchanger 1 can be attached to a surrounding structure.
- the housing 2 has a fluid connection 3, through which a fluid can be conveyed into the housing 2.
- a tube plate 6 is indicated, which belongs to the heat exchanger 1 inserted in the housing 2.
- the housing 2 is preferably formed from a plastic, which can be processed, for example, in a die-casting process. Alternatively, metallic materials can also be used.
- the Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the heat exchanger 1, as in the housing 2 of Fig. 1 is arranged.
- the heat exchanger 1 has in its lower region a tube plate 6, in which a plurality of first tubes 8 and second tubes 9 is received.
- the tubes 8 and 9 are arranged in each case in two adjacent tube stacks with several tubes in depth.
- the tubes 8 are traversed along the flow direction 10 with a first fluid and the tubes 9 are flowed through along the flow direction 11 with the first fluid.
- the directional deflection between the tubes 8 and tubes 9 takes place in the upper deflection region 7.
- the deflection region 7 is essentially also through a tube plate 16 is formed, in which the tubes 8, 9 are received and a box-like lid 17, which is inserted into this tubesheet, whereby an internal volume within the deflection region 7 is generated, in which the fluid from the tubes 8 into the tubes 9 flow can.
- the first tubes 8 form a first section 12 of a first flow channel 15 and the second tubes 9 form a second section 13 of a first flow channel 15. Overall, the tubes 8 and 9 and the deflection 7 form the first flow channel 15.
- the first flow channel 15 can be flowed around by a second fluid within the housing 2.
- a second flow channel 14 is formed for this purpose.
- a heat exchange between the first fluid can be generated both along the tubes 8 of the deflection region 7 and the tubes 9.
- the heat transfer between the first fluid and the second fluid can be significantly increased, since in particular the deflection region 7 is fully involved in the heat transfer between the first fluid and the second fluid.
- adeschleitvorraum shown which surrounds both the tubes 8 and the tubes 9.
- the task of theisserleitvoroplasty is to influence the flow of fluid flowing within the housing. This should primarily be prevented that a short-circuit flow within the housing is formed and thus the fluid flows directly from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. This can happen, in particular, if the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet are arranged on a common housing side.
- the fluid can also be routed specifically between the tubes 8, 9 in such a way that the best possible flow around and thus an improved heat transfer occurs.

- the tubes 28 form a first section 36 of a first flow channel 39
- the tubes 29 form a second section 37 of the first flow channel 39.
- the tubes 28 and 29 are in the Fig. 4 further from adeschleitvoriques similar to Fig. 2 whereby the fluid flow within the heat exchanger 21 can be improved overall and, in particular, short-circuit flows of the fluid between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet of the housing can be avoided.

- the tube plate has a circumferential shoulder, which is guided both around the openings 32, 33 and the tubes 28 and 29. This paragraph comes when placing the housing 22 on an inner wall of the housing for lying and thus serves to seal the housing 22 relative to the tube sheet 26th
- a sealing means may further be provided on this shoulder.
- the tube plate 26 has a plurality of openings, which can serve for screwing the tube plate 26 to the housing 22 and the connection of fluid connections to the tube plate 26 for supplying the tubes 28 with a first fluid or for the discharge of the first Fluids from the pipes 29.
- the turbulence inserts 34 are designed such that the gap which arises between the outer wall of the deflection region 27 and the inner wall of the housing 22 is influenced such that the fluid flow of the second fluid flowing within the housing 22 is optimized.
- a flow path 35 is formed in the region between the deflection region 27 and the inner wall of the housing 22.
- the housing 22 as well as the housing 2 of Fig. 1 designed such that at least between the deflection region 27 and the deflection region 7 and the interior of the housing 22 and 2, a sufficiently large gap remains, as Flow path 35 is formed and can be flowed through by the second fluid within the housing 22 and 2 respectively.
- the tubes 28 and 29 are also flowed around by the second fluid, whereby along the entire heat exchanger 1, 21, a heat transfer between the first fluid within the tubes 8, 9, 28, 29 of the heat exchanger 1, 21 and the second fluid in the housing 2, 22 of the heat exchanger 1, 21 can take place.

- the deflection between the tubes 48 and the tubes 49 takes place along the deflection region 47, which is analogous to the preceding figures formed by a tube plate 56 and a cover 57 inserted therein. Both the tubes 48, 49 and the deflection region 47 can be flowed around by the second fluid, while they are flowed through by the first fluid.
- the housing 42, 45 forms a second flow channel 54. In this way, a complete heat transfer also takes place both on the tubes 48, 49 and on the deflection region 47.
- the Fig. 7 shows a sectional view through a conventional deflected heat exchanger 61, as is known in the art.

As a result, the overall heat transfer path is reduced compared to the preceding figures, whereby the total amount of heat transferable is reduced.
- the deflection region 67 can only be exposed to the surrounding medium, such as the air, whereby both an additional cooling of the first fluid and an unwanted heating of the first fluid can take place.
- the Fig. 8 shows a sectional view through a heat exchanger 81.
- a heat exchanger 81 is shown, as already in the Fig. 5 or 6 is shown.

- the provision of means for reducing the cross section of the flow path 94 and / or turbulence inserts can influence the resulting pressure loss in the flow path 94.
- the deflection region 87 is formed, as in the preceding figures, by a cover 101, which is inserted into the tubesheet 84 and sealed with a sealing agent 93, such that the fluid flow of the first fluid within the deflection region 87 of the fluid flow of the second fluid in the Flow path 94 and within the housing 82 is separated. The deflection within the deflection region 87 takes place along the flow direction 96.
- the housings 2, 22, 42, 45, 82 and 85 can be formed both from a plastic and from a metallic material. The corresponding material has to be adapted to the application condition. If the respective housing 2, 33, 43, 45, 82 and 85 flows through a second fluid, the connection between the respective tube plates 6, 16, 23, 26, 46, 56, 83, 84 and the housing 2, 22nd , 42, 82 and the additional housing part 45, 85 be designed so fluid-tight that no leaks to the environment or in the circulation of the first fluid arise.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmeübertrager mit einem ersten Strömungskanal, der von einem ersten Fluid durchströmbar ist, und mit einem zweiten Strömungskanal, der von einem zweiten Fluid durchströmbar ist, wobei der erste Strömungskanal einen ersten Teilabschnitt, einen zweiten Teilabschnitt und einen Umlenkbereich aufweist, wobei der erste Teilabschnitt mit dem zweiten Teilabschnitt über den Umlenkbereich in Fluidkommunikation steht und der erste Teilabschnitt, der zweite Teilabschnitt und der Umlenkbereich von dem zweiten Fluid umströmbar sind.The invention relates to a heat exchanger with a first flow channel, which is traversed by a first fluid, and with a second flow channel, which is traversed by a second fluid, wherein the first flow channel has a first section, a second section and a deflection, wherein the first subsection is in fluid communication with the second subsection over the deflection region and the first subsection, the second subsection and the deflection region can be flowed around by the second fluid.
In vielen Anwendungsfällen werden sogenannte U-flow Wärmeübertrager verwendet. Diese Wärmeübertrager zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass das durch den Wärmeübertrager strömende Fluid an einem Endbereich des Wärmeübertragers einströmt und an einem diesem Endbereich gegenüberliegenden Endbereich um ungefähr 180 Grad umgelenkt wird. Das Fluid strömt dabei schließlich an dem Endbereich an dem es eingeströmt ist auch wieder aus dem Wärmeübertrager aus.In many applications, so-called U-flow heat exchangers are used. These heat exchangers are characterized in that the fluid flowing through the heat exchanger flows in at an end region of the heat exchanger and is deflected by approximately 180 degrees at an end region opposite this end region. The fluid finally flows out of the heat exchanger at the end region where it has flowed.
Wärmeübertrager mit einer solchen Konfiguration werden bevorzugt eingesetzt, wenn der Bauraum konventionell durchströmte Wärmeübertrager nicht mehr zulässt oder andere Randbedingungen für einen Einsatz sprechen.Heat exchangers with such a configuration are preferably used when the installation space no longer permits conventionally flow-through heat exchangers or speak of other boundary conditions for use.
Vorteilhaft an einem solchen Wärmeübertrager ist, dass auf der gleichen Baulänge ungefähr die doppelte Kühlstrecke zur Verfügung steht. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass nur ein kleinerer Querschnitt pro Kühlstrecke zur Verfügung steht, was sich negativ auf den entstehenden Druckverlust auswirkt.An advantage of such a heat exchanger is that on the same length about twice the cooling distance is available. The disadvantage, however, is that only a smaller cross section per cooling section is available, which has a negative effect on the resulting pressure drop.
Im Stand der Technik sind vielfältige Ausführungsbeispiele solcher Wärmeübertrager bekannt. So offenbart die
Nachteilig an den Lösungen im Stand der Technik ist insbesondere, dass der Umlenkbereich der Wärmeübertragers entweder gar nicht oder nur durch die den Wärmeübertrager umgebende Luft gekühlt wird. Weiterhin ist bei Wärmeübertragern, welche eine Umströmung des Strömungskanals inklusive des Umlenkbereichs vorsehen, oftmals der maximale Wärmeübertrag zu gering.A disadvantage of the solutions in the prior art is in particular that the deflection of the heat exchanger either not at all or only by the air surrounding the heat exchanger is cooled. Furthermore, in heat exchangers, which provide a flow around the flow channel including the deflection, often the maximum heat transfer is too low.
Daher ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen Wärmeübertrager bereitzustellen, der einen temperierbaren Umlenkbereich aufweist und gegenüber dem Stand der Technik hinsichtlich seiner Leistungsfähigkeit optimiert ist.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a heat exchanger which has a temperature-controllable deflection region and is optimized with regard to its performance in comparison with the prior art.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung wird durch einen Wärmeübertrager mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object of the present invention is achieved by a heat exchanger with the features of
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmeübertrager mit einem ersten Strömungskanal, der von einem ersten Fluid durchströmbar ist, und mit einem zweiten Strömungskanal, der von einem zweiten Fluid durchströmbar ist, wobei der erste Strömungskanal einen ersten Teilabschnitt, einen zweiten Teilabschnitt und einen Umlenkbereich aufweist, wobei der erste Teilabschnitt mit dem zweiten Teilabschnitt über den Umlenkbereich in Fluidkommunikation steht und der erste Teilabschnitt, der zweite Teilabschnitt und der Umlenkbereich von dem zweiten Fluid umströmbar sind, wobei der erste Teilabschnitt und/oder der zweite Teilabschnitt des ersten Strömungskanals jeweils durch eine Mehrzahl von Rohren gebildet ist.An embodiment of the invention relates to a heat exchanger having a first flow channel through which a first fluid can flow and with a second flow channel through which a second fluid can flow, the first flow channel having a first subsection, a second subsection and a deflection region, wherein the first portion is in fluid communication with the second portion over the deflection region and the first portion, the second portion and the deflection of the second fluid are flowed around, wherein the first portion and / or the second portion of the first flow channel in each case by a plurality of Tubes is formed.
Ein entlang seiner Strömungsrichtung umgelenkter Wärmeübertrager ist besonders vorteilhaft, da insgesamt die Baulänge des Wärmeübertragers kürzer gestaltet werden kann als bei einem geradlinig durchströmten Wärmeübertrager. Ein mit einem zweiten Fluid umströmter Umlenkbereich ist vorteilhaft, da dadurch eine zusätzliche Wärmeübertragungsmöglichkeit innerhalb des Wärmeübertragers geschaffen wird, wodurch die Effizienz bzw. die Leistung des Wärmeübertragers erhöht werden kann. Der erste Teilabschnitt und/oder der zweite Teilabschnitt des ersten Strömungskanals ist vorteilhafterweise aus Rohren gebildet.A deflected along its flow direction heat exchanger is particularly advantageous because overall the overall length of the heat exchanger can be made shorter than a straight-flow heat exchanger. A deflecting region surrounded by a second fluid is advantageous because it provides an additional heat transfer capability within the heat exchanger, whereby the efficiency or the performance of the heat exchanger can be increased. The first section and / or the second section of the first flow channel is advantageously formed from tubes.
Rohre sind besonders vorteilhaft, da sie kostengünstig herstellbar sind und in einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Ausformungen am Markt verfügbar sind. Durch eine Mehrzahl von Rohren, die jeweils an ihren Außenflächen von einem Fluid umströmt werden, kann insgesamt die Wärmeübertragungsfläche erhöht werden, wodurch ein verbesserter Wärmeübergang zwischen dem Fluid innerhalb der Rohre und dem Fluid außerhalb der Rohre erreicht werden kann.Tubes are particularly advantageous because they are inexpensive to produce and are available in a variety of different shapes on the market. By a plurality of tubes, which are each surrounded by a fluid at their outer surfaces, the total heat transfer surface can be increased, whereby an improved heat transfer between the fluid within the tubes and the fluid outside the tubes can be achieved.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Wärmeübertrager ein Gehäuse aufweist, das einteilig oder mehrteilig mit zumindest einem ersten Gehäuseteil und einem zweiten Gehäuseteil ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the heat exchanger has a housing which is formed in one or more parts with at least a first housing part and a second housing part.
Durch eine mehrteilige Ausführung kann eine bessere Montierbarkeit erreicht werden. Außerdem kann das Gehäuse unter Umständen besser an die Formgebung des Wärmeübertragers angepasst werden. Insbesondere können durch ein mehrteiliges Gehäuse Hinterschneidungen realisiert werden, die beispielsweise durch einteilige tiefgezogene Gehäuse nicht realisiert werden können.By a multi-part design better mountability can be achieved. In addition, the housing may be better adapted to the shape of the heat exchanger. In particular, undercuts can be realized by a multi-part housing, which can not be realized, for example, by one-piece deep-drawn housing.
Das Gehäuse ist vorteilhafterweise aus einem Aluminiumwerkstoff gefertigt und in einem Druckgussverfahren erzeugt. Dabei können entweder alle Gehäuseteile oder nur einzelne Gehäuseteile auf diese Weise erzeugt sein. Alternativ können das Gehäuse oder einzelne Gehäuseteile aus einem Stahlwerkstoff, insbesondere Edelstahl, oder einem Kunststoff gefertigt sein. Aus Kunststoff gefertigte Gehäuse oder Gehäuseteile sind dabei vorzugsweise in einem Spritzgussverfahren gefertigt.The housing is advantageously made of an aluminum material and produced in a die-casting process. In this case, either all housing parts or only individual housing parts can be generated in this way. Alternatively, the housing or individual housing parts may be made of a steel material, in particular stainless steel, or a plastic. Made of plastic housing or housing parts are preferably made in an injection molding process.
Darüber hinaus ist es zu bevorzugen, wenn das Gehäuse den zweiten Strömungskanal zumindest teilweise ausbildet. Vorteilhafterweise umgibt das Gehäuse den ersten Strömungskanal derart, dass zwischen den Außenwandungen des ersten Strömungskanals und den Innenwandungen des Gehäuses ein Hohlraum entsteht, welcher den zweiten Strömungskanal ausbildet. Durch das Durchströmen dieses zweiten Strömungskanals wird der erste Strömungskanal umströmt, wodurch ein wärmübertrag zwischen dem Fluid im ersten Strömungskanal und dem Fluid im zweiten Strömungskanal erzeugt werden kann.Moreover, it is preferable if the housing at least partially forms the second flow channel. Advantageously, the housing surrounds the first flow channel such that a cavity is formed between the outer walls of the first flow channel and the inner walls of the housing, which forms the second flow channel. By flowing through this second flow channel, the first flow channel is flowed around, whereby a heat transfer between the fluid in the first flow channel and the fluid in the second flow channel can be generated.
Außerdem ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das erste Gehäuseteil den ersten und zweiten Teilabschnitt umgibt und das zweite Gehäuseteil den Umlenkbereich umgibt.In addition, it is expedient if the first housing part surrounds the first and second part section and the second housing part surrounds the deflection area.
Durch eine solche Trennung kann eine besonders vorteilhafte und kostengünstige Anpassung des Gehäuses an den Wärmeübertrager erreicht werden. Insbesondere die Teilabschnitte können vorteilhafterweise durch eine einfache quaderförmige Struktur umfasst werden, während der Umlenkbereich beispielsweise durch ein weiteres Gehäuseteil umfasst werden kann, welches beispielsweise in Form eines tiefgezogenen Deckels ausgebildet sein kann und in einem separaten Herstellvorgang produziert werden kann.By such a separation, a particularly advantageous and cost-effective adaptation of the housing to the heat exchanger can be achieved. In particular, the subsections can advantageously be encompassed by a simple cuboid structure, while the deflection region can be encompassed, for example, by a further housing part which, for example, in the form of a housing part deep-drawn lid can be formed and can be produced in a separate manufacturing process.
Auch ist es zu bevorzugen, wenn der Rohrboden mit einem Deckel einen Sammelkasten ausbildet, wobei das Innenvolumen des Sammelkastens den Umlenkbereich ausbildet. Auf diese Weise kann durch bekannte Fertigungsmethoden ein fluiddichter Umlenkbereich erzeugt werden.It is also preferable if the tubesheet with a lid forms a collecting box, wherein the internal volume of the collecting box forms the deflection region. In this way, a fluid-tight deflection region can be produced by known production methods.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn zwischen einer den Umlenkbereich begrenzenden Außenwandung und einer Innenwandung des Gehäuses und/oder einer Wandung des ersten Strömungskanals eine Strömungsstrecke des zweiten Strömungskanals ausgebildet ist, welche von dem zweiten Fluid durchströmbar ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if a flow path of the second flow channel is formed between an outer wall delimiting the deflection region and an inner wall of the housing and / or a wall of the first flow channel, which can be flowed through by the second fluid.
Diese Strömungsstrecke ist besonders vorteilhaft, da entlang dieser der Umlenkbereich mit dem zweiten Fluid, welches vorzugsweise kühlend ist, umströmt werden kann. Hierdurch wird insgesamt die Wärmeübertragungsfläche zwischen dem ersten Fluid und dem zweiten Fluid erhöht, wodurch die Leistungsfähigkeit des Wärmeübertragers verbessert wird.This flow path is particularly advantageous, since it can flow around the deflection region with the second fluid, which is preferably cooling. As a result, the overall heat transfer area between the first fluid and the second fluid is increased, whereby the performance of the heat exchanger is improved.
Auch ist es zu bevorzugen, wenn entlang der Strömungsstrecke Turbulenzeinlagen und/oder querschnittverengende Mittel an der Außenwandung des Umlenkbereichs und/oder an der Innenwandung des Gehäuses angeordnet sind.It is also preferable if along the flow path turbulence inserts and / or cross-sectional narrowing means are arranged on the outer wall of the deflection region and / or on the inner wall of the housing.
Durch Turbulenzeinlagen, wie beispielsweise Leitrippen, Wellenprofilen, Erhöhungen und Vertiefungen auf der Oberfläche oder durch andere Mittel zur Beeinflussung des Querschnitts kann die Fluidströmung in der Strömungsstrecke vorteilhaft beeinflusst werden. Insbesondere kann dabei der wirksam durchströmte Strömungsquerschnitt beeinflusst werden, was einen direkten Einfluss auf den auftretenden Druckverlust innerhalb des Wärmeübertragers hat. Über Strömungsleitmittel dieser Art kann auch der Strömungsverlauf innerhalb der Strömungsstrecke beeinflusst werden.By turbulence inserts, such as guide ribs, wave profiles, elevations and depressions on the surface or by other means for influencing the cross section, the fluid flow in the flow path can be advantageously influenced. In particular, the effective cross-flow area can be influenced, which has a direct influence on the occurring pressure loss within the heat exchanger. Via flow guide means of this type, the course of flow within the flow path can also be influenced.
Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Gehäuse einen ersten Fluidanschluss und einen zweiten Fluidanschluss aufweist, worüber das zweite Fluid in das Gehäuse zuführbar und aus dem Gehäuse abführbar ist.Moreover, it is advantageous if the housing has a first fluid connection and a second fluid connection, via which the second fluid can be supplied into the housing and can be discharged from the housing.
In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der erste Teilabschnitt und der zweite Teilabschnitt und/oder der Umlenkbereich des ersten Strömungskanals in das Gehäuse, welches den zweiten Strömungskanal zumindest teilweise ausbildet, derart integrierbar ist, dass der zweite Strömungskanal fluiddicht gegenüber dem ersten Strömungskanal und/oder dem Umlenkbereich und der Umgebung abgedichtet ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the first section and the second section and / or the deflection of the first flow channel into the housing, which at least partially forms the second flow channel, can be integrated such that the second flow channel fluid-tight with respect to the First flow channel and / or the deflection region and the environment is sealed.
Eine fluiddichte Abdichtung der Strömungskanäle gegenüber dem jeweils anderen Strömungskanal und der Umgebung ist besonders vorteilhaft, um die Funktionsfähigkeit des Wärmeübertragers zu gewährleisten. Bei einer nicht vollständig fluiddichten Ausführung könnte eine Vermischung der Fluide auftreten, was zu einer Beschädigung des Wärmeübertragers und/oder der vorgelagerten und nachgelagerten Komponenten führen kann.A fluid-tight seal of the flow channels with respect to the respective other flow channel and the environment is particularly advantageous in order to ensure the functionality of the heat exchanger. In a not completely fluid-tight design, a mixing of the fluids could occur, which can lead to damage of the heat exchanger and / or the upstream and downstream components.
Auch ist es vorteilhaft, wenn alle Rohre zumindest an einem gemeinsamen Endbereich in einem Rohrboden aufgenommen sind. Die Rohre sind vorteilhafterweise an einem gemeinsamen Endbereich in einem Rohrboden aufgenommen sind. Dies erhöht die Stabilität des Wärmeübertragers. Weiterhin kann durch das Vorsehen eines Rohrbodens an einem gemeinsamen Endbereich eine besonders einfache Anbindung an eine Fluidzuleitung und eine Fluidableitung erreicht werden.It is also advantageous if all tubes are accommodated at least at a common end region in a tube plate. The tubes are advantageously accommodated at a common end region in a tube plate. This increases the stability of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, by providing a tube plate at a common end region, a particularly simple connection to a fluid supply line and a fluid discharge can be achieved.
Weiterhin ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Fluidzuführung und die Fluidabführung des ersten Strömungskanals an einem gemeinsamen Endbereich des Wärmeübertragers angeordnet sind. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders kompakte Bauform des Wärmeübertragers.Furthermore, it is expedient if the fluid supply and the fluid discharge of the first flow channel are arranged at a common end region of the heat exchanger. This allows a particularly compact design of the heat exchanger.
Auch ist es zu bevorzugen, wenn das erste Fluid ein Gas ist und das zweite Fluid ein Kühlmittel ist. Auf diese Weise kann eine Abkühlung des in dem ersten Strömungskanal strömenden Fluids vorteilhaft erreicht werden. Durch eine Abkühlung im ersten Teilabschnitt, im zweiten Teilabschnitt und im Umlenkbereich kann eine stärkere Abkühlung des ersten Fluids bzw. des Gases erreicht werden.It is also preferable if the first fluid is a gas and the second fluid is a coolant. In this way, a cooling of the in the first flow channel flowing fluid can be achieved advantageously. By cooling in the first subsection, in the second subsection and in the deflection region, a greater cooling of the first fluid or of the gas can be achieved.
Darüber hinaus ist es zu bevorzugen, wenn das zweite Fluid ein niedrigeres Temperaturniveaus aufweist als das erste Fluid. Das zweite Fluid dient zur Abkühlung des ersten Fluids. Das zweite Fluid kann dabei vorteilhafterweise in einen Kühlkreislauf eingebunden sein, um stets ein möglichst niedriges Temperaturniveau für das zweite Fluid zu gewährleisten. Je nach Auslegung des Wärmeübertragers, kann das zweite Fluid in einer alternativen Ausführung aber auch ein höheres Temperaturniveau als das erste Fluid aufweisen. Dies trifft insbesondere dann zu, wenn der Wärmeübertrager zur Erwärmung des ersten Fluids dient.Moreover, it is preferable if the second fluid has a lower temperature level than the first fluid. The second fluid serves to cool the first fluid. The second fluid can advantageously be incorporated into a cooling circuit in order to always ensure the lowest possible temperature level for the second fluid. Depending on the design of the heat exchanger, the second fluid in an alternative embodiment, but also have a higher temperature level than the first fluid. This is especially true when the heat exchanger is used to heat the first fluid.
Auch ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das erste Fluid im Umlenkbereich entlang seiner Strömungsrichtung um 180 Grad umlenkbar ist. Eine Umlenkung um ungefähr 180 Grad ist besonders vorteilhaft, da so die Fluidanschlüsse an einem gemeinsamen Endbereich des Wärmeübertragers vorgesehen werden können. In alternativen Ausführungsformen können auch Umlenkungen vorgesehen werden, die einen anderen Winkel aufweisen oder beispielsweise zwei Umlenkungen mit jeweils 90 Grad.It is also advantageous if the first fluid in the deflection region can be deflected by 180 degrees along its direction of flow. A deflection of about 180 degrees is particularly advantageous since in this way the fluid connections can be provided at a common end region of the heat exchanger. In alternative embodiments, it is also possible to provide deflections which have a different angle or, for example, two deflections of 90 degrees each.
Je nachdem, ob nur der erste und zweite Teilabschnitt oder auch der Umlenkbereich in dem Gehäuse angeordnet sind, kann die maximal übertragbare Wärmemenge größer oder kleiner sein. Insbesondere vorteilhaft ist eine Anordnung, bei welcher sowohl die Teilabschnitte als auch der Umlenkbereich von einem zweiten Fluid, welches vorzugsweise ein kühlendes Fluid ist, umströmt sind.Depending on whether only the first and second subsection or the deflection region are arranged in the housing, the maximum amount of heat that can be transferred may be larger or smaller. Particularly advantageous is an arrangement in which both the subsections and the deflection region of a second fluid, which is preferably a cooling fluid, flows around.

Der Wärmeübertrager 1 weist in seinem unteren Bereich einen Rohrboden 6 auf, in welchem eine Mehrzahl von ersten Rohren 8 und zweiten Rohren 9 aufgenommen ist. Dabei sind die Rohre 8 und 9 jeweils in zwei nebeneinanderliegenden Rohrstapeln mit mehreren Rohren in der Tiefe angeordnet. Die Rohre 8 werden entlang der Strömungsrichtung 10 mit einem ersten Fluid durchströmt und die Rohre 9 werden entlang der Strömungsrichtung 11 mit dem ersten Fluid durchströmt.The
Die Richtungsumlenkung zwischen den Rohren 8 bzw. Rohren 9 findet in dem oberen Umlenkbereich 7 statt. Der Umlenkbereich 7 ist im Wesentlichen ebenfalls durch einen Rohrboden 16 gebildet, in welchen die Rohre 8, 9 aufgenommen sind und einen kastenartigen Deckel 17, welcher in diesen Rohrboden eingesetzt ist, wodurch ein Innenvolumen innerhalb des Umlenkbereichs 7 erzeugt wird, in welchen das Fluid von den Rohren 8 in die Rohre 9 strömen kann.The directional deflection between the
Die ersten Rohre 8 bilden dabei einen ersten Teilabschnitt 12 eines ersten Strömungskanals 15 und die zweiten Rohre 9 bilden einen zweiten Teilabschnitt 13 eines ersten Strömungskanals 15. Insgesamt bilden die Rohre 8 und 9 sowie der Umlenkbereich 7 den ersten Strömungskanal 15 aus.The
Der erste Strömungskanal 15 kann von einem zweiten Fluid innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 umströmt werden. Innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 ist zu diesem Zweck ein zweiter Strömungskanal 14 ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise kann ein Wärmeaustausch zwischen dem ersten Fluid sowohl entlang der Rohre 8 des Umlenkbereichs 7 als auch der Rohre 9 erzeugt werden. Insgesamt kann somit der Wärmeübergang zwischen dem ersten Fluid und dem zweiten Fluid deutlich erhöht werden, da insbesondere auch der Umlenkbereich 7 vollständig am Wärmeübertrag zwischen dem ersten Fluid und dem zweiten Fluid beteiligt ist.The
Weiterhin ist in
Unterhalb des Rohrbodens 6 können in vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen Fluidanschlüsse vorgesehen sein, welche beispielsweise an einem Sammelkasten angeordnet sein können. Über diese kann den Rohren 8 ein Fluid zugeführt werden und getrennt davon aus den Rohren 9 ein Fluid abgeführt werden.Below the

Das Gehäuse 22 weist eine Mehrzahl von Halteelementen 24 auf, mit welchem das Gehäuse 22 bzw. der Wärmeübertrager 21 an umliegenden Strukturen befestigt werden kann. Am unteren Endbereich des Gehäuses 22 ist ein Rohrboden 26 angedeutet, welcher zu dem in dem Gehäuse 22 steckenden Wärmeübertrager 21 gehört.The
Die
Die Rohre 28 werden entlang der Strömungsrichtung 30 mit einem ersten Fluid durchströmt und die Rohre 29 werden entlang der Strömungsrichtung 31 mit dem ersten Fluid durchströmt. Die Umlenkung des Fluids findet im Umlenkbereich 27 statt.The
Der Rohrboden 26 weist neben Öffnungen, in denen die Rohre 28 und 29 aufgenommen sind auch die Öffnungen 32 und 33 auf. Durch diese kann das Innere des Gehäuses 22 bzw. der im Inneren des Gehäuses 22 ausgebildete zweite Strömungskanal 38 mit einem Fluid beaufschlagt werden bzw. das Fluid aus dem Inneren des Gehäuses 22 abgeleitet werden. Hierzu weist der Rohrboden einen umlaufenden Absatz auf, welcher sowohl um die Öffnungen 32, 33 als auch die Rohre 28 und 29 geführt ist. Dieser Absatz kommt beim Aufsetzen des Gehäuses 22 an einer Innenwandung des Gehäuses zum Liegen und dient somit der Abdichtung des Gehäuses 22 gegenüber dem Rohrboden 26.The
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann an diesem Absatz weiterhin ein Dichtungsmittel vorgesehen sein. Außerhalb dieses Absatzes weist der Rohrboden 26 mehrere Öffnungen auf, welche zum einen der Verschraubung des Rohrbodens 26 mit dem Gehäuses 22 dienen können und auch der Anbindung von Fluidanschlüssen an den Rohrboden 26 zur Versorgung der Rohre 28 mit einem ersten Fluid bzw. zur Ableitung des ersten Fluids aus den Rohren 29.In an alternative embodiment, a sealing means may further be provided on this shoulder.

Die Umlenkung zwischen den Rohren 48 und den Rohren 49 findet entlang des Umlenkbereichs 47 statt, welcher analog der vorausgegangenen Figuren durch einen Rohrboden 56 und einen darin eingesetzten Deckel 57 gebildet ist. Sowohl die Rohre 48, 49 als auch der Umlenkbereich 47 können von dem zweiten Fluid umströmt werden, während sie vom ersten Fluid durchströmt werden. Hierzu bildet das Gehäuse 42, 45 einen zweiten Strömungskanal 54 aus. Auf diese Weise findet ebenfalls ein vollständiger Wärmeübergang sowohl an den Rohren 48, 49 als auch an dem Umlenkbereich 47 statt.The deflection between the

Innerhalb des Umlenkbereichs 67, welcher analog der vorausgegangenen Figuren durch einen in den Rohrboden 64 eingesetzten Deckel gebildet ist, wird die Fluidströmung des ersten Fluids von den Rohren 68 zu den Rohren 69 umgelenkt. Dies ist mit der Strömungsrichtung 73 innerhalb des Umlenkbereichs 67 dargestellt.Within the
Der Deckel ist innerhalb des Rohrbodens 64 vorteilhafterweise mit einem Dichtungselement 72 eingesetzt.

Die Rohre 88, 89 sind endseitig in Rohrböden 83 bzw. 84 aufgenommen. Die Rohre 88 bzw. 89 sind von dem Gehäuse 82 umgeben. Zwischen den Rohren 88, 89 und dem Gehäuse 82 ist ein zweiter Strömungskanal 99 ausgebildet, welcher von einem zweiten Fluid durchströmt werden kann. In den linken erweiterten Bereich 86 ist der Rohrboden 83 fluiddicht in das Gehäuse 82 eingesetzt. Am rechten erweiterten Bereich 95 ist das Gehäuse 82 mit dem Gehäuseteil 85 fluiddicht verbunden, derart, dass der Umlenkbereich 87 sowie der Rohrboden 93 innerhalb des Gehäuseteils 85 aufgenommen ist.The
Zwischen dem Gehäuseteil 85 bzw. einer Innenwandung des Gehäuseteils 85 und einer Außenwandung des Umlenkbereichs 87 entsteht dadurch die Strömungsstrecke 94, welche ebenfalls, wie der Freiraum zwischen den Rohren 88 und 89 von dem zweiten Fluid, welches innerhalb des Gehäuses 82 strömt, entlang des zweiten Strömungskanals 99 durchströmt werden kann.Between the

Der Umlenkbereich 87 ist wie in den vorausgegangenen Figuren durch einen Deckel 101 gebildet, welcher in den Rohrboden 84 eingesetzt ist und mit einem Dichtmittel 93 abgedichtet ist, derart, dass die Fluidströmung des ersten Fluids innerhalb des Umlenkbereichs 87 von der Fluidströmung des zweiten Fluids in der Strömungsstrecke 94 bzw. innerhalb des Gehäuses 82 getrennt ist. Die Umlenkung innerhalb des Umlenkbereichs 87 erfolgt entlang der Strömungsrichtung 96.The
Die Gehäuse 2, 22, 42, 45, 82 und 85 können sowohl aus einem Kunststoff als auch aus einem metallischen Werkstoff gebildet sind. Das entsprechende Material ist angepasst an die Einsatzbedingung zu wählen. Sofern das jeweilige Gehäuse 2, 33, 43, 45, 82 und 85 von einem zweiten Fluid durchströmt wird, muss die Verbindung zwischen den jeweiligen Rohrböden 6, 16, 23, 26, 46, 56, 83, 84 und dem Gehäuse 2, 22, 42, 82 bzw. dem zusätzlichen Gehäuseteil 45, 85 derart fluiddicht ausgeführt sein, dass keine Leckagen zur Umgebung bzw. in den Kreislauf des ersten Fluids entstehen.The
Durch eine zusätzliche Umströmung des Umlenkbereichs 7, 27, 47, 87 mit einem kühlenden Fluid kann eine Erhöhung der Kühlleistung des Wärmeübertragers 1, 21, 41, 81 insgesamt erreicht werden.
