Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plate heat exchanger having a plurality of stacked parallel trough-like plates, the flow spaces for at least two media, with a connection element for receiving at least one nozzle in the region of a preferably trough-like end plate, wherein the nozzle on a protruding with respect to the plates section of the connection element is arranged
  • the EP 0 604 193 B1 describes an oil cooler without housing, which is designed as a plate heat exchanger.
  • the plate heat exchanger has a number of trough-like plates arranged parallel to one another, between which flow spaces for two different media are alternately spanned.
  • the plate heat exchanger is closed by an end plate and a connecting element with side ports upwards.
  • the DE 10 2006 029 110 A1 describes a heat exchanger with a heat exchanger jacket and disposed within the heat exchanger jacket plate packs, wherein the plate pack has at least one tubular connecting piece, which is performed by a passage in the heat exchanger jacket.
  • a connection element is provided with an annular base body which can be screwed or inserted into the shell, wherein the pipe socket is spaced from the base body with an annular gap.
  • a Tüllenelement is arranged on an outer side of the base body, which has a Tüllenwandung, which is formed in cross-section approximately S-shaped and extending away from the jacket.
  • the spout is located in the region of a free circumferential edge closely adjacent to the pipe socket or is located on this and is attached with a weld on the neck.
  • the DE 197 27 145 A1 describes a housing-less plate heat exchanger having a plurality of deformed, nested and a packet-forming heat exchanger plates having separate flow channels for heat exchanging media, wherein in the region of a protruding portion of a connecting element radially exiting ports for the supply and discharge of at least one medium is arranged.
  • a plate heat exchanger with a stack of heat exchanger plates which has a top end of the stack cover plate which communicates with an inlet and outlet channel and which has an inlet cross-section and an outlet cross-section and serves to connect an inlet and outlet line.
  • a shellless plate heat exchanger which has stacked heat exchanger plates, wherein the stack of heat exchanger plates is limited by a base plate and an end plate. Base plate and end plate have connections for the heat exchange media.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to avoid structural constraints on a production moderately simple way.
  • connecting lines can be guided laterally of the plate heat exchanger. This allows great design freedom in the choice of installation situation, as in the direction of the vertical axis much less space is required.
  • connection element consists of a connection plate and a fixed attached to the connection plate patch channel part, wherein the channel part can be formed as a preferably formed sheet metal or forged part or as a casting.
  • the channel portion may be connected to the terminal plate by a solder, glue, screw or flare connection.
  • the channel part is formed by a channel plate with at least one molded flow channel, which is preferably completed by a cover plate is particularly advantageous. This allows a particularly flat design of the connection element.
  • the terminal plate is formed by the end plate.
  • the terminal plate is formed integrally with the end plate, the number of parts can be limited.
  • connection plate is firmly connected to the end plate.
  • the terminal plate may be connected to the end plate by soldering, gluing, screwing or the like.
  • a further saving in components results when the nozzle is formed integrally with the channel part.
  • the protruding portion of the connecting element is angled with respect to the end plate, wherein preferably a joining plane with the plane of the end plate has an angle between 0 ° and 90 °, preferably between 20 ° and 40 °.
  • connection plate may be stepped in the region of the protruding section, wherein preferably the connection plate is spaced from a connection plane of the end plate in the region of the protruding section.
  • the plate heat exchangers 1 shown in the figures each have a stack 2 spaced plates 3, which alternately span a first and a second flow space, which are flowed through by a first and second medium.
  • the plate stack 2 is bounded by a bottom plate 4 and an end plate 5. All plates 3, 4, 5 are connected by a soldering process.
  • connection element 6 In the region of the end plate 5, a connecting element 6 is arranged, which has a theoryorkragenden section 7 with a nozzle 13 with respect to the plates 3, 4, 5.
  • the connection element 6 has a connection plate 8.
  • a channel part 9 is fixed to the flat connection plate 8, which may be formed as a deep-drawn or stamped and punched sheet metal part or as a forged part.
  • the channel part 9 is fixedly connected to the connection plate 8, for example, by a solder connection, a screw connection, an adhesive connection or a crimp connection.
  • connection plate 8 and the channel part 9 Between the connection plate 8 and the channel part 9, a flow channel 10 is formed, which on the one hand via a passage opening not shown in the connection plate 8 and the end plate 5 with the flow spaces in the plate heat exchanger 1 and on the other hand via a passage opening 11 in the connection plate 8 or in the channel part. 9 , in which the nozzle 13 is inserted, is connected to not shown connecting lines.
  • the nozzle 13 is arranged on the stack 2 of plates 3 facing first side 12 of the connection plate 8.
  • the connecting element 6 is angled in relation to the end plate 5 in the region of the protruding portion 7, wherein a dividing plane 14 between the connecting plate 8 and the channel part 9 with the plane 5a of the end plate 5 an angle ⁇ between 0 ° and 90 °, in the embodiment about 30 °, includes.
  • FIG. 9 to FIG. 12 Illustrated embodiment differs from the embodiment according to Fig. 6 to Fig. 8 essentially in that the connecting piece 13 is formed by a connection block.
  • the connecting element 6 is stepped, wherein the protruding portion 7 of the connection plate 8 is spaced from the connection plane 5a of the end plate 5 clearly in the direction of the bottom plate 4.
  • the corresponding distance is in Fig. 16 denoted by a.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for plate heat exchanger 1 with trough-like plates 3, whose edges 3a are directed to the bottom plate 4.
  • the bottom plate 8 is integrally formed from the end plate 5, whereby compared to de embodiments after Fig. 1 to Fig. 12 a component is saved.
  • FIGS. 17 to 20 show a further embodiment variant with a stepped running connection element 6, wherein the connection plate 8 is further spaced in the region of the protruding portion 7 of the bottom plate 4 by the distance a, as the connection plane 5a of the end plate 5.
  • This allows the projection according to the invention also in Heat exchangers whose edges 3a are directed away from the bottom plate 4.
  • FIG. 20a another embodiment is shown, different from the one in FIGS. 17 to 20 shown embodiment differs only in that the connection plate is made in one piece with the end plate 5, whereby a component is eliminated.
  • FIG. 1 to Fig. 20 Embodiments are shown in which the channel part 6 is connected via a flange-shaped connection with the connection plate 8.
  • the 21 to FIG. 24 show an embodiment in which the connection between the channel part 6 and the connection plate 8 via a blunt T-joint. This design has the advantage that width can be saved.
  • the channel part 9 is formed by a substantially flat channel plate 16, in which flow channels 10, 10 a are formed, wherein the flow channels 10, 10 a closed by an attached cover plate 15 upwards.
  • the flow channels 10, 10 a lead to passage openings 11, 11 a with a connection 13.
  • the seal between the channel part 9 and the connection plate 8 can be done in the case of a screw or Börtelharm by an example permanently elastic seal.
