Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooler arrangement consisting of several coolers each have two collecting boxes, two collecting boxes of adjacent coolers form an edge of the cooler assembly, the coolers in at least one Row arranged, connecting the header boxes have flat tubes that arranged transversely to the fan axis of the inside of the cooler arrangement Radial fans run, with a front wall and a rear wall as well as with Zu - And drain lines for at least two coolers through the flat tubes flowing fluid, which are connected to collecting tanks, such that in direct or indirect neighborhood to the end of the first and / or last Flat tube of the at least one row of flat tubes a connecting piece is arranged, the mouth of the collection box in a row with the Mouths of the flat tubes in the collecting box is provided and the Connection of the cooler inlet or outlet pipe permitted.
  • the present application is intended to add further design variants to the prior art, which likewise ensure a compact and space-saving cooler arrangement and allow additional connection variants.
  • the solution according to the invention results in the cooler arrangement specified in the preamble from the characterizing part of claim 1. Further developments and variants result from claims 2 to 6. Because, according to the characterizing part of claim 1, between two adjacent header boxes forming an edge of the cooler arrangement, in the adjacent longitudinal walls of which at least one flow opening is arranged in order to fluidically connect the assigned coolers, there are further variants for different application and connection possibilities.
  • the direct connection of the header boxes between their longitudinal walls also leads to a very compact shape of the cooler arrangement, because no protruding connectors or the like are necessary.
  • the fluidic connection between the header boxes also makes a significant contribution to the stability of the cooler arrangement, because the header boxes or the associated coolers have been fixed in their position by this connection.
  • the fluidic connection can be located in all edges of the cooler arrangement. However, at least one edge of the arrangement is designed according to the invention. The question of the edges in which the fluidic connection is arranged depends on the circuit connection between the coolers that is desired in each case.
  • the adjacent longitudinal walls of the collecting boxes forming an edge of the cooler arrangement can either touch or they can be at a short distance from one another, the distance being sealed by means of suitable sealing means in order to prevent unused cooling air from flowing out.
  • the provision of a distance is cheaper in terms of production technology. It is particularly advantageous in the case of spaced-apart longitudinal walls if the flow openings in the adjacent longitudinal walls have an insert which is adapted to the shape of the flow opening and is preferably soldered into the flow opening and if the inserts in the flow openings of adjacent longitudinal walls are sealed off from the outside.
  • the inserts consist of a circumferential wall, which has a flange at the top and bottom.
  • One flange faces outwards and the other inwards so that the inserts look like a pot with an opening in the bottom of the pot.
  • One flange serves as a soldering edge with the flow opening in the longitudinal wall.
  • the other flange is used to hold the peripheral part with the seals.
  • the seal already mentioned consists of one of the shape of the inserts adapted peripheral part with two circumferential grooves, each with a seal is arranged, the peripheral part with the seals against the wall of the Inserts in the corresponding flow openings have a sealing effect achieved.
  • the connecting piece 12 is arranged in indirect proximity to the end of the first and / or last flat tube 8.1 of the at least one row of flat tubes, the mouth 21 of which in the collecting box 5 is in a row with the mouths 22 of the Flat tubes 8; 8.1 is provided in the collecting box 5 and the connection of the inflow or outflow line 3z; 3a the cooler 2, 6, or 7 allowed.
  • the side part 16 and the adjacent corrugated fin 9 are omitted , so that the connecting piece 12 is arranged directly next to the flat tube 8.1 .
  • the tube sheet 11 there are openings through which the ends of the flat tubes 8; 8.1 step through.
  • Another opening 15 is provided in the projection 17 of the tube sheet 11 to receive the end of the connecting piece 12 .
  • Fig. 1 shows a variant in which the cooler 2; 6 and 7 of a box-shaped cooler arrangement are connected in series.
  • the coolant comes via the inflow line 3z to the connecting piece 12 and enters the collecting tank 5 of the cooler 6 shown on the right. From there it is distributed to the flat tubes 8.1; 8 and flows to the lower header 5 of the same cooler 6.
  • This header 5 forms with the header 5 of the lower radiator 2 in the picture an edge 23 of the cooler arrangement, the longitudinal walls 24 of the header 5 in this embodiment having a small distance a , like that Fig. 3 shows.
  • the collecting tanks 5 are connected in terms of flow technology at the two lower edges 23 of the cooler arrangement, specifically in the same way as (for example) shown in FIG. 3, which will be described later.
  • the center pieces of the peripheral part 30 shown in FIG. 3 can only be seen in the lower right edge 23 in FIG. 1. It can be seen, however, that two fluidic connections 25 are provided between the longitudinal walls of the collecting boxes 5 in this exemplary embodiment. Any number could be provided.
  • the same fluidic connection is located in the lower left edge 23. It cannot be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the coolant can flow according to the flow arrows 4 shown in the header 5 of the lower cooler 2 , via the flat tubes 8; 8.1 go to the other collecting tank 5 and from there come further into the left cooler 7 in order to leave the cooler arrangement via the drain line 3a, top left.
  • 1 shows that a radial fan 10 is arranged in the box-shaped cooler arrangement.
  • the flat tubes 8, 8.1 of the coolers 1, 2, 6 and 7 run transversely to the fan axis V.
  • the rear of the cooler arrangement is closed by a rear wall R.
  • the front has a front wall F with an air inlet opening (not shown) and a nozzle.
  • the coolers 2 and 6 are connected in series and the cooler 7 in parallel. Only the reference numerals that were used in the following description were given there. It is clear that the coolers 1, 2, 6 and 7 there also have flat tubes 8; 8.1 and all other necessary features that have been described in FIG. 1.
  • In the upper area of the cooler arrangement there is an inflow line 3z which can be plugged together from standard parts, and at the bottom, on the left, there is also an outflow line 3a of the type described in principle in the parent application. However, the arrangement has been changed so that the circuit variant already mentioned is obtained.
  • the inlet is located on the top left in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 1 Via the supply line 3z, the cooler 6 and 7 are connected to each other, so that the feed stream splits in the cooler 6 and 7.
  • FIG. 2 It enters through the connecting piece 12 in both coolers 6, 7 and their collecting boxes 5 .
  • the flow arrows 4 also show how the arrangement is flowed through.
  • the right edge 23, which is formed by a collecting tank 5 of the coolers 6 and 2 there are the fluidic connections already described in connection with FIG. 1, of which only a part 30 is also recognizable.
  • the cooling liquid can therefore flow into the cooler 2 in order to be further cooled there by the cooling air flow generated by the radial fan 10 .
  • the design of the inserts 27 and the seals 32 could be modified accordingly for both variants.
  • a flange could also be located on the corresponding flow opening 25 .
  • the variant shown in FIG. 3 has an insert 27 in the corresponding flow openings 25 in the longitudinal walls 24 of both collecting tanks 5 , which consists of a circumferential wall part 28 and an inward and an outward flange 29 .
  • the insert 27 is supported in the respective flow opening 25 with one outwardly directed flange 29 and thus provides a suitable soldering surface with the flow opening 25.
  • the other inwardly directed flange 29 projects into the collecting box 5 by a small amount.
  • This flange 29 serves to receive a peripheral part 30 provided for sealing.
  • the peripheral part 30 is equipped with grooves 31 , in which seals 32 are inserted. In the shown, ready-to-use or assembled state, the seals 32 press against the respective wall part 28 of the corresponding insert 30 from the inside , as a result of which the cooling liquid must be prevented from escaping. From FIG. 3 and this description it can also be seen that the fluidic connection contributes significantly to the stability of the cooler arrangement, because the individual coolers have been fixed in their position by this connection.
  • the shape of the flow openings 25, the inserts 27 and the peripheral part 30 can be any. In the simplest case, the circular shape is selected.
