Abstract

  • 1. Wärmeübertrager-Rohrblock mit mehreren geschlitzten Sammelrohren.
  • 2.1. Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Wärmeübertrager-Rohrblock mit wenigstens zwei im Querschnitt C-förmigen Sammelrohren (6, 7), die jeweils einen durchgehenden Längsschlitz (10, 11) aufweisen, und mit in die Sammelrohrlängsschlitze eingesteckten Flachrohren (2a, 2b).
  • 2.2. Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Abschlussplattenelement (12) vorgesehen, das mehrere C-förmige Öffnungen aufweist und auf eine Endseite der wenigstens zwei Sammelrohre aufgesteckt ist, wobei jedes dieser Sammelrohre fluiddicht in jeweils eine der Öffnungen eingefügt ist.
  • 2.3. Verwendung z.B. für Verdampfer von CO2-Klimaanlagen in Kraftfahrzeugen.
    • Figure 00000001
