Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular gas cooler, with at least one longitudinally extending collecting box, which comprises a bottom and a lid and at least two substantially circular in cross-section longitudinal channels, by at least one of the bottom and / or cover formed from the longitudinal partition from each other at least partially spaced, wherein the bottom of at least one of its longitudinally extending edge regions has a board, with which the bottom overlaps a longitudinally extending edge region of the lid outside or wherein the lid has at least one of its longitudinally extending edge regions a shelf, with the lid overlaps a longitudinally extending edge region of the bottom on the outside.
  • WO 2004/088234 A2 a generic heat exchanger is known in which the board is formed by a continuous tab.
  • the board is bent or folded after applying the lid to the ground to set both parts together prior to a soldering process.
  • this requires a high material requirement and high forces for bending or folding, wherein the joining forces that prevail after bending or folding between the bottom and lid, due to elastic deformation of the board are low.
  • the JP 2008 089188 A discloses a heat exchanger with collecting box with bottom and lid, in which the shelves of the bottom are bent over the entire length. Also reveals the DE 10 2006 057 585 A1 such a design.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a heat exchanger, which builds simple and expedient in a safe joining and is inexpensive to produce.
  • the object is achieved by a heat exchanger according to the invention according to claim 1.
  • the respective board in the longitudinal direction on a variety of caulking, by which it is deformed in the region of each caulking in the direction of the collection box center and determines the bottom and the lid against each other.
  • the lid and the base are embossed from a sheet-metal blank and each have in cross section essentially a w-shape or ⁇ -shape. Due to this shape, the bottom and lid touch in their outer areas and in their centers, whereby the longitudinal partition wall is formed.
  • the two shelves are formed so that they are parallel to each other in the areas where they have no caulking. It is particularly advantageous that a powerful joining of lid and bottom is achieved with low material usage by the large number of caulking.
  • the plurality of caulking is arranged symmetrically with respect to the collection box center.
  • the combination of cover and bottom has a symmetrical force curve, which increases the quality of the joint.
  • two adjacently adjacent caulkings have the same or different widths.
  • the longitudinally arranged caulking have the same or different distance from each other. In areas of the collecting tank, where due to the expected load, a greater addition of the header tank is required, this can be easily ensured by increasing the width of the caulking or by the number of caulking within the relevant area.
  • the geometry of the individual caulking is basically arbitrary. Shares, angled or round versions are possible.
  • a single caulking has a width of 0.5-6 mm, in particular 0.75-5 mm, in particular 1-4 mm. As a result, a punctual caulking is achieved, whereby the force required for producing the caulking is reduced.
  • a plurality of caulkings form a receptacle for at least one connecting piece, in particular flange or holder.
  • the fitting is clamped by the caulking.
  • the bottom and the lid are soldered together.
  • the heat exchanger can withstand high pressures and be used, for example, in a CO2 refrigerant circuit.
  • the heat exchanger has a plurality of heat transfer surface forming flat tubes, wherein the flat tubes tube ends and the bottom of the number of flat tubes has corresponding openings for receiving the pipe ends.
  • the shelves of the floor are higher than the outer edge of the lid or the rims of the lid higher than the outer edge of the floor.
  • the shelves of the floor engage behind the lid in the region of a caulking or the edges of the lid the bottom in the caulking area.
  • an embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the caulking in the corner regions form a positioning device in the longitudinal direction of the collecting box.
  • the figures show an assembly of a total provided with the reference numeral 2 heat exchanger, in particular gas cooler.
  • the heat exchanger 2 comprises a collection box 6 which is extended in a longitudinal direction 4 and which is formed from a base 8 and a cover 10.
  • Base 8 and cover 10 are stamped from a sheet metal blank and have a w- or ⁇ -shaped cross-section.
  • the bottom 8 and the lid 10 touch each other in their edge regions 12 and in their centers and form there at least an almost closed longitudinal partition wall 14 for longitudinally extending longitudinal channels 4 16 (FIG. FIGS. 4 and 5 ).
  • the bottom 8 at its longitudinally 4 extending edge regions 12, a shelf 18 which engages over the lid 10 outside.
  • the board 18 on a plurality of caulking 20, where the board 18 of the bottom 8 is deformed towards the center of the collecting tank 6 and the lid 10 is applied, whereby the lid 10 and the bottom 8 are fixed against each other.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show the collection box 6 from different views.
  • the ribs 18 are parallel to each other and are higher than the outer edge 22 of the lid 10.
  • the caulking 20 bear against the outer edge 22 of the lid 10 so that the bottom 8 engages behind the lid 10 in the caulking 20 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 4 ,
  • the caulking 20 are arranged symmetrically to the center of the collecting tank 6 and have substantially the same width.
  • the caulking 20 have a geometry that has predominantly straight and angled portions.
  • a connecting piece 24 is connected to the collecting box 6 via a receptacle 26 formed by one of the caulking 20.
  • the distance between two adjacent in the longitudinal direction 4 caulking 20 is less than in areas where no connection piece 24 is received.
  • the bottom 8 and the lid 10 are punched from a sheet metal blank and are w- or ⁇ -shaped embossed. To join both parts of the lid 10 is disposed within the bottom 8 and overlapped by this at its edge regions 12 from the outside by the shelves 18. Lid 10 and bottom 8 each touch in their middle and thereby form the longitudinal partition wall 14, 16 spaced the two longitudinal channels from each other. When introducing the caulking 20 in the board 18, bottom 8 and lid 10 are pressed together and put together.
  • the shelf 18 of the bottom 8 is higher than the outer edge 22 of the lid 10 and extends in the areas where there is no caulking 20 parallel to the opposite board 18. In this way, the caulking 20 engages behind the lid 10 and presses it against the ground 8.
  • FIG. 5 shows a section along the line II-II according to FIG. 3 in which at the height of a trained as a receptacle 26 caulking 20 a connector 24 is arranged.
  • the connecting piece 24 rests on the one hand on the outer edge 22 of the lid 10 and is laterally clamped by the caulking 20 so that it is fixed to the collecting box 6.
