Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an exhaust gas heat exchanger for a motor vehicle according to the features in the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the exhaust gas has temperatures of more than 500 ° C up to 1000 ° C.
  • Such an exhaust gas heat exchanger is exposed directly to the high temperatures of the exhaust gas, so that it can lead to significant thermal fluctuations in the operation of the exhaust gas heat exchanger but also in the cold start behavior of an internal combustion engine.
  • the exhaust gas itself has highly corrosive properties, so that over the duration of the application area corresponding to the material, in particular the lateral surfaces and the coupling points of the exhaust gas heat exchanger are attacked.
  • a corresponding exhaust gas heat exchanger is for example from the DE 10 2006 029 110 A1 known.
  • Object of the present invention is to reduce an exhaust gas heat exchanger in its component weight and in particular in the production costs, with at least constant or increased use duration and heat transfer properties.
  • the exhaust gas heat exchanger according to the invention is for a motor vehicle and has an outer shell and plates arranged one above the other in layers one above the other. It is characterized in that an internal lamellar sheet of austenitized steel material in an inner cassette made of ferritic steel material or is arranged from duplex steel and in turn at least two of the inner cassettes are arranged one above the other like a plate and the outer shell is formed around the inner cassettes encompassing duplex steel.
  • a plate heat exchanger which has a weight saving of up to 30% and thus an optimal tuning is realized by using different materials.
  • the wall thicknesses can be reduced, with at least constant strength and corresponding longevity and corrosion resistance.
  • a possible additional price for the material used in the casing is compensated by the lower percentage use, so that an overall corrosion-resistant exhaust gas heat exchanger is provided.
  • the choice of material that is different from one another makes it possible to optimally compensate for different thermal expansions, in particular also taking account of coupling points existing between the components, in particular soldered seams.
  • a first flow channel is formed between an inner lateral surface of the shell and an outer lateral surface of the inner cassettes and a second flow channel in the inner cassettes themselves.
  • a lamination sheet is arranged in the inner cassette itself.
  • the lamella plate itself has a wavy or else a sawtooth-shaped configuration in cross-section.
  • the lamella plate is made of austenitic steel material and positioned in the inner cassette.
  • the lamella plate itself may also be coupled to the inner cassette, for example by a cohesive joining method and in particular a soldering method.
  • the inner cassette is double-shelled by two shells, wherein both shells are soldered together. Both shells essentially have a cross-sectionally U-shaped configuration, wherein these are then plugged into one another in a vertical direction from above and below with the inclusion of the lamination sheet and coupled with a cohesive joining process, in particular a soldering process. At the same time then also the lamellae can be coupled to the inner shell.
  • the inner cassettes have outwardly directed Abstandsbuckel.
  • the respective inner cassettes which are located completely on the outside, then abut against the inner circumferential surface of the shell with their spacing humps.
  • the shell also has inwardly directed distance humps.
  • the distance bumps continue to increase the surface area available for each heat exchanger, which further increases the cooling capacity.
  • the ends of the inner cassettes are designed to converge. As a result, the cross section for the entering or exiting exhaust gas is then kept as large as possible in each case on the exhaust gas inlet and outlet side, which benefits a very low pressure loss of the exhaust gas heat exchanger according to the invention.
  • the pressure loss is additionally reduced, with at least the same cooling capacity.
  • the distance hump which can also be formed as bumps, thereby expanding during a soldering process, so that a high-quality solder joint comes about.
  • the sheath is particularly preferably in turn formed as a two-shell shell shell, wherein both shells are soldered together.
  • the shells of the shell are configured in a U-shaped cross-section and with the respective free ends of the U plugged into each other and via a thermal joining process, in particular soldering, coupled together.
  • duplex steel of the shell and in the case of the use of duplex steel in an inner cassette for these a duplex steel alloy of 1.4462 or 1.4362 or 1.4162 is used.
  • An optimum of freedom from deformation, corrosion resistance and resistance to the effects of temperature occurs here.
  • Brazing is preferably used as the brazing process, which in turn is carried out in particular in a continuous or vacuum furnace.
  • a solder additive is used on a nickel-iron basis.
  • Ferrite and austenite are each present at 50% pro rata.
  • a soldering temperature between 980 ° C and 1100 ° C.
  • holders made of duplex steel are arranged on the envelope.
  • the exhaust gas heat exchanger according to the invention is then coupled to an internal combustion engine.
  • the holders themselves can be coupled to the casing by materially joining or, preferably, also be formed integrally and with the same material on the casing.
  • the components of the shell of the inner cassette and / or the lamella plate are then produced as Blechumformbaumaschine, in particular deep-drawn components.
  • an exhaust gas heat exchanger 1 is shown in longitudinal section and cross-sectional view.
  • the exhaust gas heat exchanger 1 is designed as a plate heat exchanger, wherein a first flow channel 2 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 3 of an outer shell 4 and the outer circumferential surface 5 of the inner cassettes 6 arranged in the shell 4.
  • a second flow channel 7 is then formed in the inner cassettes 6, wherein in each case a fin sheet 8 is also arranged to increase the available there for heat absorption surface.
  • the exhaust gas A flow in the inner cassette 6, wherein a corresponding amount of heat on the lamella 8 and the inner circumferential surface 9 of the inner cassette 6 is received and passed through the wall of the inner cassette 6 to a fluid not shown in detail in the first flow channel 2.
  • the lamination plate 8 is formed of austenitic material
  • the inner cassette 6 is formed of ferritic material or duplex steel and the sheath 4 of duplex steel.
  • the choice of whether the inner cassette 6 duplex steel or ferritic steel material is used depends on the expected vibration load. If a relatively low vibration load is observed, a ferritic steel material is used, whereas with a high expected vibration load a duplex steel is used.
  • the sheath 4 is double-shelled and has a first shell 10 and a second shell 11.
  • holders 12 are coupled to secure the exhaust gas heat exchanger 1 to a not shown engine or an internal combustion engine.
  • the first shell 10 and the second shell 11 are each U-shaped in cross-section and inserted into each other in opposite directions, so that an optimum solder gap 13 is adjusted at a joint to produce a solder seam with a particularly high quality in a subsequent soldering process, so that they just under durability aspects, a high density and resistance to vibration brings with it.
  • the holder 12 itself can be integrally formed on the outside of the shell 4 and material uniform be or be formed in several parts, so that they are coupled by means of a coupling method not shown to the shell 4.
  • hump 14 which may also be in the form of a bulge or a bulge.
  • the spacer bosses 14 can be introduced by embossing into the respective shell of the inner cassette 6 or the shell 4. These then serve to form a spacing of the inner cassettes 6 with each other, which in turn leads to the formation of the respective first flow channel 2.
  • at the ends of the inner cassettes 6 are shown in each case to each other outwardly flared tapered ends 15 each two adjacent inner cassettes 6 to each other. These outwardly flared ends 15 are soldered together. As a result, the tightness between the first flow channel 2 and the second flow channel 7 is produced at the edge. The outwardly flared ends 15 also expand during the soldering operation, resulting in a good quality of solder joint therebetween.
