Definitions

  • the invention refers to a tubular element for a heat exchanger, especially for a condenser for a refrigeration cycle of a motor vehicle, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates additionally to a heat exchanger.
  • Heat exchanger and especially condenser are well known in the state of the art especially for the use in motor vehicles.
  • Condensers are used as heat exchanger in a refrigerant circuit condensing the refrigerant and usually additionally sub-cooling the liquified refrigerant before it flows to the expansion valve and the evaporator of the refrigerant circuit.
  • the condenser provides two separated manifolds and between the manifolds tubes and fins are located, the tubes are usually arranged in a row of tubes between which the respective fins are located.
  • the tubes are fluid connected to the interior of the manifolds since the tubes are fit in openings of the respective tubes. Therefore the refrigerant can flow through the fluid passages of tubes of the row of tubes from one manifold to the other manifold being cooled by way of a heat exchange with the air flow flowing around the tubes.
  • Such condensers are known e.g. by DE 41 30 517 A1 , DE 43 30 214 A1 or DE 43 39 952 A1 .
  • the manifolds are usually produced as a single tube or as a tube in a two part design.
  • the known single-part design uses an extruded tube or a welded or brazed in which openings are provided by punching such that tubes of the row of tubes can be located within the openings and are fluid tight connected by to the manifold by brazing.
  • the known two-part design uses a bottom plate including the openings for fitting the tubes in the openings and a cover plate connected to the bottom plate. The bottom plate and the cover plate are fluid tight connected by brazing.
  • Such a manifold is disclosed by DE 43 39 952 A1 .
  • the condenser is provided with a number of fluid paths while the refrigerant flows through the different flow paths one after the other.
  • the first flow path usually is a de-heating flow path and the last flow path usually is a sub-cooling flow path, while intermediate flow paths are used as condensation paths.
  • the different flow paths are created by tubes of the row of tubes which are separated by partition walls which are inserted in the manifolds at respective positions within the manifolds. Such a design is well known and disclosed e.g. by DE 43 39 952 A1 .
  • condenser modules which additionally provide a receiver and/or dryer tube in parallel with one of the manifolds.
  • condenser modules have the advantage that the sub-cooling is advanced since the sub-cooling path is usually completely filled with liquid refrigerant which is additionally cooled by the air flowing around the tubes and fins of the sub-cooling flow path.
  • condenser modules are known from DE 42 38 853 C2 .
  • the problem addressed with regard to this invention is to create a heat exchanger, especially for a motor vehicle, which allows a less expensive manufacture.
  • a preferred embodiment relates to a tubular element for a heat exchanger, especially for a motor vehicle, which is assembled by stacking first tube-shaped segments and second cup-shaped segments along the length direction of the tubular element, wherein the assembled first and second segments are fluid tight connected, wherein closed upper and lower ends of the tubular element are achieved by using second cup-shaped segments. Therefore the tubular element can be assembled using an amount of first and/or second segments such that the respective design can be achieved using almost only generally designed segments and the amount of especially designed segments is reduced. This leads to a cost effective manufacture of a tubular element.
  • At least one partition wall or partition walls which are located within the tubular element is or are created by using at least one second cup-shaped segment.
  • a first tube-shaped segment has a tube wall and a first opening at a first end of the tube wall and a second opening at a second end of the tube wall. Therefore partition walls can easily be integrated within the tubular element by using cup-shaped segments which otherwise can be used e.g. as closure at the upper or lower end of the tubular element.
  • An embodiment of the tubular element is designed such that a second cup-shaped segment has a tube wall and a first opening at a first end of the tube wall and a closing wall at a second end of the tube wall. Therefore the cup-shaped segment provides a tube body with one opening and with one closure at one of their respective ends.
  • the tube wall of a first segment and/or of a second segment has a reduced outer diameter at one of the first end or the second end, such that an outer diameter of the end with the reduced diameter is smaller than an inner diameter of the end without a reduced diameter or with a smaller reduction in diameter.
  • openings are provided in first tube-shaped segments and/or second cup-shaped segments, wherein the openings are provided to receive tube ends of tubes of a tube block of a heat exchanger. Accordingly a fluid tight connection of a tube block can be achieved if the tube ends are located in openings of
  • a further embodiment is of a tubular element is designed such that openings are provided in first tube-shaped segments and/or second cup-shaped segments, wherein the openings are provided as liquid transfer openings through which a fluid is transferrable between different devices. Therefore the tubular element can be used as receiver of a condenser or a condenser module or the like.
  • tubular element a design is preferred wherein the tube wall has a circular cross-section or a circular cross-section having a flattened portion. Therefore the flattened portion or a part of a circular portion can be used as location for an opening which can be created e.g. by punching. Furthermore the tubular element can be designed such that it is of advantage that the openings are provided in the tube wall in an area having the circular cross-section or in an area of the flattened portion.
  • the tubular element is a manifold of a heat exchanger, especially of a condenser. Therefore the tubular element can be designed and assembled as manifold without or with partition walls. Such partition walls maybe used as guiding elements to direct a fluid flow and to divide a tube block in different flow paths.
  • the tubular element is a receiver of a heat exchanger, especially of a condenser module having a condenser and a receiver.
  • the object of the invention may be achieved by a heat exchanger with at least one manifold, especially with two manifolds and with a tube block with tubes which are fluid-tight connected to the at least one manifold, wherein the at least one manifold is an inventive manifold.
  • the object of the invention may additionally be achieved by a heat exchanger with at least one manifold, especially with two manifolds and with a tube block with tubes which are fluid-tight connected to the at least one manifold, with a receiver fluid tight connected to a manifold, wherein the receiver is an inventive receiver.

  • second segments with a predetermined length such that are pre-manufactured and selected from a system of second segments. Otherwise at least one second segment can be manufactured with a certain length to fit to the overall length of the tubular element 1.
  • the second segments 3 are made as cup-shaped segments.
  • the cup-shaped segments comprise a tubular wall 16 with a first opening 17 at a first end 18 and with a closing wall 19 at a second end 20. Therefore a fluid may flow through the one first opening 17 into the tube made by the tube wall but can not flow through the complete tube since the closing wall 19 limits the flow at the second end 20.
  • closing wall 19 of the second segment 3 might be used as closure wall at the upper and lower end of the tubular element and e.g. as partition wall 21 within the tubular element 1.
  • the tubular wall 9 or 16 of the first segment or of the second segment has a reduced outer diameter d at one of the first end or the second end, such that an outer diameter of the end with the reduced diameter d is smaller than an inner diameter of the end without a reduced diameter having a diameter D.
