Abstract

The heat exchanger plates (6) have extending areas (7) forming the distribution and collection spaces for cooling water. The flow channels (14) for exhaust gas extend in a straight path through the heat exchanger, issuing at opposing ends in the pipe bases (13). At least one of the two types of flow channels (9,14) has a surface structure, whereby the full-surface contact between the flow channels is excluded. The flow channels for cooling water have a somewhat corrugated surface structure.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abgaswärmetauscher mit Paaren schalenförmiger Wärmetauscherplatten; jedes Paar schalenförmiger Wärmetauscherplatten bildet einen Strömungskanal für Kühlwasser, indem sie am umlaufenden Randflansch spiegelbildlich so zusammengefügt und verbunden sind, daß der Randflansch der einen Wärmetauscherplatte nach einer Seite und der Randflansch der anderen Wärmetauscherplatte zur entgegengesetzten Seite gerichtet ist, sowie mit Öffnungen in den Wärmetauscherplatten, die auf einer gemeinsamen Linie liegen, um den Sammel-und den Verteilerkanal für das Kühlwasser zu bilden und mit zwischen den erwähnten Strömungskanälen angeordneten weiteren Strömungskanälen für das Abgas.The invention relates to an exhaust gas heat exchanger with pairs of bowl-shaped Heat exchanger plates; forms each pair of bowl-shaped heat exchanger plates a flow channel for cooling water by using the peripheral flange are mirrored assembled and connected so that the edge flange of the a heat exchanger plate on one side and the edge flange on the other Heat exchanger plate is directed to the opposite side, as well as with openings in the heat exchanger plates, which lie on a common line to form the collecting and distribution channel for the cooling water and with between the above-mentioned flow channels arranged further flow channels for the exhaust gas.

Dieser Abgaswärmetauscher ist aus dem EP 677 715 bekannt. Der bekannte Abgaswärmetauscher kann insofern als nachteilig angesehen werden, weil durch Korrosion verursachte Durchbrüche auf der Abgasseite zum Vermischen des Abgases mit dem Kühlwasser führen. Da die Abgase sehr aggressive Stoffe enthalten, ist die Möglichkeit der Durchrostung nicht weit entfernt. Deshalb sind in dem genannten Dokument die Wärmetauscherplatten, die Wellrippen und die Anschlußstutzen aus Edelstahl gefertigt, was jedoch die Kosten erhöht. Hinzu kommt, daß trotz dieser Maßnahme keine Gewähr dafür besteht, daß nicht doch eine Vermischung passiert, da selbst die Edelstahlbieche, wenn es nicht die hochwertigsten sind, zumindest in der Nähe der Lötverbindungen, angegriffen werden können. Zumal man ständig bestrebt ist, die Blechdicken der Wärmetauscherplatten zu reduzieren. Ferner werden Kosten und Gewicht durch das erforderliche Gehäuse erhöht, welches den Wärmetauscher umgibt. Darüber hinaus ergeben sich fertigungstechnische Schwierigkeit beim korrekten Positionieren der beiden schalenförmigen Wärmetauscherplatten zueinander.
Wenn als Kühlmittel das Kühlwasser des Motors verwendet werden soll, ist der Abgaswärmetauscher in dem genannten Dokument in sogenannter Stab-Platten-Bauweise aufgebaut und besitzt ein äußeres Gehäuse. Diese ansonsten vorteilhafte Bauweise hat den Nachteil, daß die Anzahl der Einzelteile und die Anzahl und Länge der Lötverbindungen recht groß sind, wodurch sich das Risiko erhöht, daß Lötfehler auftreten können.
This exhaust gas heat exchanger is known from EP 677 715. The known exhaust gas heat exchanger can be regarded as disadvantageous because breakthroughs on the exhaust side caused by corrosion lead to the mixing of the exhaust gas with the cooling water. Since the exhaust gases contain very aggressive substances, the possibility of rusting through is not far away. Therefore, the heat exchanger plates, the corrugated fins and the connecting pieces are made of stainless steel in the document mentioned, but this increases the costs. In addition, despite this measure, there is no guarantee that mixing will not happen, since even the stainless steel plates, if they are not the highest quality, can be attacked, at least in the vicinity of the soldered connections. Especially since there is a constant effort to reduce the sheet thickness of the heat exchanger plates. Furthermore, costs and weight are increased by the required housing, which surrounds the heat exchanger. In addition, there are manufacturing difficulties in correctly positioning the two bowl-shaped heat exchanger plates relative to one another.
If the cooling water of the engine is to be used as the coolant, the exhaust gas heat exchanger is constructed in the so-called document in a so-called rod-plate construction and has an outer housing. This otherwise advantageous construction has the disadvantage that the number of individual parts and the number and length of the soldered connections are quite large, which increases the risk that soldering errors can occur.

Beispielsweise aus DE 44 03 144 C2 ist es außerdem bekannt, gehäuselose Plattenwärmetauscher, (Ölkühler) die als vermischungsfrei bezeichnet werden können, quasi in Mischbauweise zu fertigen, bei der die eine Art Rohrplatten in Stab-Platten-Bauweise und die andere Art der Rohrplatten aus Halbschalen gefertigt sind. Hier ist jedoch die Vermischungsfreiheit durch die Anordnung einer zusätzlichen Sicherheitstrennwand erzielt worden, wodurch das Gesamtgewicht relativ hoch ist. Ferner würde dieser Wärmetauscher als Abgaswärmetauscher einen zu großen Druckverlust auf der Abgasseite erzeugen, der seine Ursache in der Vielzahl der Umlenkungen hat. Gerade der Druckverlust auf der Abgasseite ist besonders nachteilig, weil das gekühlte Abgas mit höchstmöglichem Druck dem nachgeschalteten Turbolader zugeführt werden sollte.From DE 44 03 144 C2, for example, it is also known to be without a housing Plate heat exchangers (oil coolers) which are described as non-mixing can produce, so to speak, in mixed construction, in which the one kind of tube plates in Rod-plate construction and the other type of tube plates made from half-shells are. However, here is the freedom of mixing by arranging one Additional security partition has been achieved, reducing the overall weight is relatively high. Furthermore, this heat exchanger would act as an exhaust gas heat exchanger generate too great a pressure loss on the exhaust side, which is caused in of the multitude of diversions. The pressure loss on the exhaust side is just particularly disadvantageous because the cooled exhaust gas with the highest possible pressure downstream turbocharger should be fed.

Der Nachteil des zu hohen Druckverlustes muß auch dem aus DE 296 16 354 U1 bekannten flüssigkeitsgekühlten Abgaswärmetauscher zugeordnet werden.The disadvantage of the excessive pressure loss must also be that from DE 296 16 354 U1 known liquid-cooled exhaust gas heat exchanger can be assigned.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, bei dem im Oberbegriff angegebenen Abgaswärmetauscher die Fertigungskosten weiter zu senken und außerdem eine höhere Sicherheit gegen Vermischen des Abgases mit dem Kühlwasser zu gewährleisten, bei gleichzeitig geringem Druckverlust auf der Abgasseite.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ergibt sich aus dem Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1.
Die Lösung der Aufgabenstellung erfolgt durch die geschickte Kombination von im Wärmetauscherbau möglicherweise einzeln bekannter Merkmale, wobei die Erfinder erkannt haben, daß deren neuartiges Zusammenwirken zu einem erfinderischen Abgaswärmetauscher führt, bei dem das Abgas mit Flüssigkeit gekühlt wird.
The object of the invention is to further reduce the manufacturing costs in the exhaust gas heat exchanger specified in the preamble and also to ensure greater security against mixing of the exhaust gas with the cooling water, with at the same time low pressure loss on the exhaust side.
The solution according to the invention results from the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
The problem is solved by the skillful combination of features which may be known individually in heat exchanger construction, the inventors having recognized that their novel interaction leads to an inventive exhaust gas heat exchanger in which the exhaust gas is cooled with liquid.

Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Abgaswärmetauscher in gehäuseloser Bauweise ausgeführt ist, daß die aus schalenförmigen Wärmetauscherplatten gebildeten Strömungskanäle für das Kühlwasser vorgesehen sind und daß die dazwischen angeordneten Strömungskanäle für das Abgas etwa gerade Flachrohre sind, die an gegenüberliegenden Enden in Rohrböden münden, an die die Abgasleitung angeschlossen ist.
Die Rohrböden haben einen Durchmesser, der zumindest partiell größer ist als die sich anschließende Querschnittsabmessung des Wärmetauschers. Die Rohrböden sind vorzugsweise kreisrunde Teile, wodurch die Herstellung und auch der Anschluß der ebenfalls runden Abgasleitung einfacher erfolgen kann.
Der Anschluß der Abgasleitung an den Wärmetauscher kann mittels Schrauben, Klammern oder Spannringen erfolgen.
Mindestens eine Art der Strömungskanäle weist eine gewellte oder ähnlich strukturierte Oberfläche auf. Die gewellte Oberflächenstruktur sorgt in hinreichender Weise dafür, daß im Falle einer Durchrostung das Abgas zur Atmosphäre hin austreten kann und nicht so einfach in das Kühlwasser gelangt.
It is proposed that the exhaust gas heat exchanger is designed in a housingless design, that the flow channels formed from shell-shaped heat exchanger plates are provided for the cooling water and that the flow channels for the exhaust gas arranged therebetween are approximately straight flat tubes which open at opposite ends in tube sheets to which the Exhaust pipe is connected.
The tube sheets have a diameter that is at least partially larger than the subsequent cross-sectional dimension of the heat exchanger. The tube sheets are preferably circular parts, as a result of which the production and connection of the likewise round exhaust pipe can be carried out more easily.
The flue gas pipe can be connected to the heat exchanger using screws, clamps or clamping rings.
At least one type of flow channel has a corrugated or similarly structured surface. The corrugated surface structure sufficiently ensures that, in the event of rusting, the exhaust gas can escape to the atmosphere and not easily get into the cooling water.

Der Druckverlust auf der Abgasseite ist äußerst gering, weil die zugehörigen Strömungskanäle keine Umlenkungen aufweisen und weil auch die Rohrböden so groß gehalten sind, daß dieser Vorgabe entsprochen werden kann. Ferner sind der Verteiler - und der Sammelraum für das Kühlwasser in überkragenden Bereichen der schalenförmigen Wärmetauscherplatten angeordnet, die sich außerhalb des Querschnittes der Flachrohre befinden. Dadurch wird ebenfalls ein Beitrag zur Senkung des Druckverlustes auf der Abgasseite geleistet, denn dadurch befinden sich der Verteiler-und der Sammelraum nicht im Strömungsbereich der Abgase und behindern nicht deren Strömung.
Die Fertigungskosten werden dadurch gesenkt, daß der erfindungsgemäße wassergekühlte Abgaswärmetauscher lediglich auf der Abgasseite - also die Flachrohre und die Rohrböden - aus Edelstahl bestehen muß, während alle anderen Teile aus Aluminium hergestellt sein können. Der wassergekühlte Abgaswärmetauscher aus dem EP 677 715 besteht hingegen vollständig aus Edelstahl.
Der vorgeschlagene Abgaswärmerauscher weist deshalb auch ein geringeres Gewicht auf.
Ferner kann ein Beitrag zur Senkung der Fertigungskosten darin gesehen werden, daß der wassergekühlte Abgaswärmetauscher, wie oben angegeben, in gehäuseloser Ausführung vorgesehen ist. Die außenliegenden Strömungskanäle sind Kühlwasserkanäle, so daß die Strahlungswärme des Wärmetauschers reduziert ist, was bei Abgaswärmetauschern wegen der hohen Abgastemperaturen nicht unwesentlich ist.
Die schalenförmigen Wärmetauscherplatten, die die Strömungskanäle für das Kühlwasser bilden, besitzen in ihrer gewellten Oberfläche nach innen gerichtete Abstütznoppen, die an ihrem Scheitelpunkt mit ebensolchen Abstütznoppen der benachbarten Wärmetauscherplatte verlötet sind. Diese an sich bekannte Ausbildung sorgt für besseren Wärmeübergang und für höhere Festigkeit des Abgaswärmetauschers.
Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Merkmal der Wärmetauscherplatten besteht darin, daß am Randflansch in gewissen Abständen überstehende und abgewinkelte Abschnitte vorgesehen sind, mit deren Hilfe sich jeweils zwei Wärmetauscherplatten zueinander positionieren lassen, d. h. sie können nicht verrutschen. Es werden deshalb auch keine Hilfsvorrichtungen beim Stapeln und beim Vorbereiten zum Löten erforderlich.
Die Flachrohre, die das Abgas führen, können sowohl gezogene oder mit einer Längsnaht geschweißte Flachrohre sein, als auch aus zwei Halbschalen gebildet sein, die am umlaufenden Randflansch miteinander verlötet sind. In den Flachrohren können gestanzte oder gewalzte Inneneinsätze angeordnet sein, die mit den Rohren verlötet sind, um den Wärmeaustausch zu fördern und die Stabilität zu erhöhen. Eine Ausführungsform verzichtet jedoch völlig auf solche Inneneinsätze, um den Druckverlust weiter zu reduzieren. Dafür besitzt die Wandung der Flachrohre eine wellenartige Struktur. Die Wellenberge und - täler verlaufen in Längsrichtung der Flachrohre.
Bei Flachrohren, die aus zwei Halbschalen gebildet sind, befinden sich an deren Randflansch überstehende und abgewinkelte Abschnitte, die ineinandergreifen und der korrekten Positionierung zweier Halbschalen zu einem Flachrohr dienen.
Diese Abschnitte sind vergleichbar mit ebensolchen Abschnitten am Randflansch der Wärmetauscherptatten.
In den Rohrböden sind Öffnungen ausgestanzt, die dem Querschnitt der Flachrohre angepaßt sind und die Durchzüge aufweisen, die entweder zur Abgasleitung hin gerichtet sind oder zum Inneren des Wärmetauschers. Mit Blick auf die Reduzierung des Druckverlustes ist es günstiger, die Durchzüge zum Wärmetauscher hin vorzusehen, weil so der Rohrüberstand in den Rohrboden hinein zu vermeiden ist. Diese Durchzüge bilden einen geeigneten Lötrand für die Flachrohre in den Rohrböden. Ferner ist die Verbindung so ausgeführt, daß der Druckverlust äußerst gering bleibt.
The pressure loss on the exhaust side is extremely low because the associated flow channels have no deflections and because the tube sheets are kept so large that this requirement can be met. Furthermore, the distributor and the collecting space for the cooling water are arranged in projecting areas of the bowl-shaped heat exchanger plates, which are outside the cross section of the flat tubes. This also makes a contribution to reducing the pressure loss on the exhaust side, because the distributor and collection space are therefore not in the flow area of the exhaust gases and do not impede their flow.
The manufacturing costs are reduced in that the water-cooled exhaust gas heat exchanger according to the invention only has to be made of stainless steel on the exhaust side - that is, the flat tubes and the tube sheets - while all other parts can be made of aluminum. The water-cooled exhaust gas heat exchanger from EP 677 715, on the other hand, is made entirely of stainless steel.
The proposed exhaust gas heat exchanger therefore also has a lower weight.
Furthermore, a contribution to lowering the manufacturing costs can be seen in the fact that the water-cooled exhaust gas heat exchanger, as stated above, is provided in a housing-free design. The external flow channels are cooling water channels, so that the radiant heat of the heat exchanger is reduced, which is not insignificant in exhaust gas heat exchangers because of the high exhaust gas temperatures.
The bowl-shaped heat exchanger plates, which form the flow channels for the cooling water, have inward corrugated support knobs in their corrugated surface, which are soldered at their apex to the same support knobs of the adjacent heat exchanger plate. This training, which is known per se, ensures better heat transfer and greater strength of the exhaust gas heat exchanger.
Another advantageous feature of the heat exchanger plates is that protruding and angled sections are provided at certain intervals on the edge flange, with the aid of which two heat exchanger plates can be positioned in relation to one another, ie they cannot slip. Therefore, no auxiliary devices are required when stacking and when preparing for soldering.
The flat tubes that carry the exhaust gas can either be drawn tubes or flat tubes welded with a longitudinal seam, or they can be formed from two half-shells that are soldered together on the peripheral edge flange. Punched or rolled inner inserts can be arranged in the flat tubes, which are soldered to the tubes in order to promote heat exchange and to increase the stability. However, one embodiment completely dispenses with such internal inserts in order to further reduce the pressure loss. For this, the wall of the flat tubes has a wave-like structure. The wave peaks and valleys run in the longitudinal direction of the flat tubes.
In the case of flat tubes which are formed from two half-shells, there are projecting and angled sections on their edge flange which interlock and serve to correctly position two half-shells to form a flat tube.
These sections are comparable to those on the edge flange of the heat exchanger plates.
Openings are punched out in the tube sheets, which are adapted to the cross section of the flat tubes and which have passages which are either directed towards the exhaust gas line or towards the interior of the heat exchanger. With a view to reducing the pressure loss, it is cheaper to provide the passages to the heat exchanger because this prevents the pipe protrusion into the pipe plate. These passages form a suitable soldering edge for the flat tubes in the tube sheets. Furthermore, the connection is designed so that the pressure loss remains extremely low.

Die Kühlwasseranschlüsse 4 und 5 befinden sich an der obersten Wärmetauscherplatte 6, ebenfalls an gegenüberliegenden Enden, wobei die Anschlüsse 4 und 5 in überkragenden Bereichen 7 der Wärmetauscherplatten 6 vorgesehen sind, die sich außerhalb des Bereiches der gerade verlaufenden Flachrohre 8 befinden, durch die die Abgase (Pfeile 19) strömen. Zwei völlig identische schalenförmige Wärmetauscherplatten 6 bilden jeweils einen Strömungskanal 9, durch die das Kühlwasser strömt (Pfeile 10). Auf der obersten Wärmetauscherplatte 6 sind Noppen 11 angedeutet, die in Berührung mit den Noppen 11 der darunter befindlichen Wärmetauscherplatte 6 sind, denn jeweils eine der zwei identischen Wärmetauscherplatten 6 wird zur Bildung des Strömungskanales 9 um 180° um die Querachse oder um die Längsachse oder um die vertikale Achse gedreht und mit der anderen Wärmetauscherplatte 6 zusammengefügt. In Fig. 4 sind einige dieser Noppen 11 eingezeichnet worden.
Die Wärmetauscherplatten 6 besitzen ferner eine wellenförmige Struktur, die duch querverlaufende Linien 22 in der Fig. 3 angedeutet wurden. Es wurden nur einige Linien 22 eingezeichnet. Die Wellenstruktur reicht über den gesamten Bereich der Wärmetauscherplatten 6.
Die Wärmetauscherplatten 6 haben überstehende und abgewinkelte Abschnitte 12 an ihrem Randflansch 23. Nach dem Drehen und Zusammenfügen der Wärmetauscherplatten 6 greifen diese Abschnitte 12 quasi kammartig ineinander und gewährleisten dadurch die Positionierung der Platten 6.
Aus Fig. 2 ist zu erkennen, daß die Flachrohre 8 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus zwei Hälften gebildet sind, die zusammengefügt und verlötet sind. Vorteilhaft ist es jedoch auch, wenn gewöhnliche geschweißte oder gezogenen Flachrohre verwendet werden. Wenn die Flachrohre 8 und die Rohrböden aus Edelstahl bestehen, die Wärmetauscherplatten jedoch aus Aluminium hergestellt werden, muß bei der Herstellung solcher Wärmetauscher ein zweifacher Lötprozeß stattfinden. Dabei werden zunächst die Flachrohre 8, mit den Inneneinsätzen 24 und den Rohrböden 13 zusammengefügt und im Lötofen einer entsprechend hohen Temperatur ausgesetzt, bei der diese Teile eine Lötverbindung eingehen. Die Außenflächen der Flachrohre 8 sind ohne Lotbeschichtung ausgeführt, so daß sie keine Verbindung eingehen, beispielsweise mit einer zum Löten benutzten Hilfsvorrichtung. Danach wird diese vorgefertigte Einheit durch die Wärmetauscherplatten 6 aus Aluminium komplettiert und in einem zweiten Lötprozeß bei entsprechend geringerer Temperatur zu einer kompakten Einheit verbunden. Dabei verbinden sich sowohl die Paare der Wärmetauscherplatten 6 als auch diese mit den Flachrohren 8, weil die Wärmetauscherplatten 6 auf beiden Seiten mit Lot beschichtet sind.
Aus der Fig. 2 und aus der Fig. 4, die den Schnitt IV - IV in Fig. 2 zeigt, gehen topfartigen Vertiefungen 15 an jeder Wärmetauscherplatte 6 hervor und auch die Öffnungen 16 in jeder Vertiefung 15. Die Öffnungen 16 haben einen Rand 17. An diesen Rändern 17 sind die Wärmetauscherplatten 6 ebenfalls miteinander verbunden, so daß die Sammel - und Verteilerkanäle 20 und 21 gebildet werden. Den gleichen Zweck erfüllen auch Hülsen, die als Einzelteile zwischen den Wärmetauscherplatten 6 eingelegt und verbunden werden können.The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in exemplary embodiments.

1 shows a coolant-cooled exhaust gas heat exchanger 1 with an exhaust gas inlet 2 and an exhaust gas outlet 3 arranged on the opposite side. Inlet 2 and outlet 3 are each provided with a connecting flange in order to secure the exhaust pipe (not shown), for example by means of clamping rings 26. The cooling water connections 4 and 5 are located on the uppermost heat exchanger plate 6, also at opposite ends, the connections 4 and 5 being provided in projecting areas 7 of the heat exchanger plates 6, which are located outside the area of the straight flat tubes 8 through which the exhaust gases pass (Arrows 19) flow. Two completely identical bowl-shaped heat exchanger plates 6 each form a flow channel 9 through which the cooling water flows (arrows 10). On the uppermost heat exchanger plate 6, knobs 11 are indicated, which are in contact with the knobs 11 of the heat exchanger plate 6 located underneath, because in each case one of the two identical heat exchanger plates 6 is used to form the flow channel 9 through 180 ° about the transverse axis or about the longitudinal axis or around the vertical axis rotated and assembled with the other heat exchanger plate 6. 4 some of these knobs 11 have been drawn.
The heat exchanger plates 6 also have an undulating structure, which was indicated by transverse lines 22 in FIG. 3. Only a few lines 22 have been drawn. The wave structure extends over the entire area of the heat exchanger plates 6.
The heat exchanger plates 6 have protruding and angled sections 12 on their edge flange 23. After the heat exchanger plates 6 have been rotated and assembled, these sections 12 engage in a comb-like manner and thereby ensure the positioning of the plates 6.
From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the flat tubes 8 are formed in this embodiment from two halves which are joined and soldered. However, it is also advantageous if ordinary welded or drawn flat tubes are used. If the flat tubes 8 and the tube sheets are made of stainless steel, but the heat exchanger plates are made of aluminum, a double soldering process must take place in the manufacture of such heat exchangers. First, the flat tubes 8 are joined together with the inner inserts 24 and the tube sheets 13 and exposed to a correspondingly high temperature in the soldering furnace, at which these parts enter into a soldered connection. The outer surfaces of the flat tubes 8 are made without solder coating, so that they do not form a connection, for example with an auxiliary device used for soldering. Then this prefabricated unit is completed by the heat exchanger plates 6 made of aluminum and connected in a second soldering process at a correspondingly lower temperature to form a compact unit. Both the pairs of heat exchanger plates 6 and these connect to the flat tubes 8 because the heat exchanger plates 6 are coated on both sides with solder.
From FIG. 2 and from FIG. 4, which shows the section IV - IV in FIG. 2, pot-like depressions 15 on each heat exchanger plate 6 emerge and also the openings 16 in each recess 15. The openings 16 have an edge 17 The heat exchanger plates 6 are also connected to one another at these edges 17, so that the collecting and distributing channels 20 and 21 are formed. Sleeves that can be inserted and connected as individual parts between the heat exchanger plates 6 also serve the same purpose.

Mit der Bezugsziffer 13 sind in den Fig. 1; 2 und 4 die Rohrböden bezeichnet worden, die kreisrund sind und im wesentlichen über die Peripherie des Wärmetauschers 1 überstehen, wenn von den überstehenden Bereichen 7 der Wärmetauscherplatten 6 abgesehen wird.With the reference number 13 in Fig. 1; 2 and 4 the tube sheets have been designated, which are circular and essentially over the periphery of the heat exchanger 1 protrude when the protruding areas 7 of the heat exchanger plates 6 is disregarded.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt die Ansicht aus Richtung des Spannringes 26 der Ausführungsform aus den Fig. 1, 2 und 4. Zu erkennen ist der eine Sammelraum 21 und die am Randflansch 23 verbundenen Wärmetauscherplatten 6. Außerdem geht der eine Rohrboden 13 und die dort endenden Strömungskanäle 14 aus dieser Darstellung hervor.
In dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 6 wurde gänzlich auf Inneneinsätze 24 in den Flachrohren 8 verzichtet. Statt dessen wurden die Wandungen der aus zwei Halbschalen 8/1 und 8/2 bestehenden Flachrohre 8 mit einer deutlichen wellenartigen Struktur 22 ausgebildet. Die Wellenberge und die Wellentäler verlaufen hier jedoch, im Unterschied zu der wellenförmigen Struktur 22 des vorher und am Ende beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispieles (an den Wärmetauscherplatten 6), in Längsrichtung der Flachrohre 8 bzw. der Strömungskanäle 14. Bei dieser Ausführungsform sind die Wärmetauscherplatten 6 vorzugsweise mit einer glatten Oberfläche ausgebildet, abgesehen von den eingeprägten Noppen 11. Diese Ausführungsform ist für Abgaswärmetauscher besonders geeignet, weil die Gefahr der Verstopfung der Flachrohre 8 durch Ablagerungen wesentlich geringer ist.
Fig. 7 zeigt die zum Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 6 gehörende Ansicht aus Richtung des Spannringes 26. Die längsverlaufende wellenartige Struktur 22 der Strömungskanäle 14 geht auch aus dieser Darstellung hervor.
Der ebenfalls zu dieser Ausführungsform gehörende Längsschnitt in Fig. 8 zeigt, daß die wellenförmige Struktur 22 vor dem Rohrboden 13 endet. Die Durchzüge 25 am Rohrboden 13 wurden zum Wärmetauscher hin ausgeführt und die Flachrohre 8 sind mit ihren Enden auf diese Durchzüge 25 aufgesteckt worden
5 shows the view from the direction of the clamping ring 26 of the embodiment from FIGS. 1, 2 and 4. One can see the collecting space 21 and the heat exchanger plates 6 connected to the edge flange 23. In addition, there is a tube plate 13 and the ends ending there Flow channels 14 emerge from this illustration.
In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, inner inserts 24 in the flat tubes 8 have been completely dispensed with. Instead, the walls of the flat tubes 8 consisting of two half-shells 8/1 and 8/2 were formed with a distinct wave-like structure 22. In contrast to the wave-shaped structure 22 of the exemplary embodiment described above and at the end (on the heat exchanger plates 6), the wave crests and the wave troughs here run in the longitudinal direction of the flat tubes 8 or the flow channels 14. In this embodiment, the heat exchanger plates 6 are preferably also included formed a smooth surface, apart from the embossed knobs 11. This embodiment is particularly suitable for exhaust gas heat exchangers because the risk of clogging of the flat tubes 8 by deposits is significantly lower.
FIG. 7 shows the view belonging to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 6 from the direction of the clamping ring 26. The longitudinal wave-like structure 22 of the flow channels 14 is also evident from this illustration.
The longitudinal section in FIG. 8 also belonging to this embodiment shows that the undulating structure 22 ends in front of the tube sheet 13. The passages 25 on the tube plate 13 were made towards the heat exchanger and the flat tubes 8 were plugged with their ends onto these passages 25

Es muß ferner darauf hingewiesen werden, daß die Fig. 8 einen anderen Anschluß an die nicht gezeichnete Abgasleitung zeigt.
Die Fig. 9 kann als Querschnitt in Fig. 3 interpretiert werden. Sie unterscheidet sich von der Fig. 4 dadurch, daß hier geschweißte oder gezogene Flachrohre 8 verwendet worden sind. Ferner wurde die Befestigung mit Hilfe eines Anschlußflansches 27 gewählt, wie es auch in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist.
Die Fig. 10 unterscheidet sich von dem Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 9 dadurch, daß in Fig. 10 die Durchzüge 25 an dem Rohrboden 13 zur Abgasleitung hin gerichtet sind, während in Fig. 9 die Durchzüge 25 zum Wärmetauscher zeigen.
Die Fig. 11 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem sich die überkragenden Bereiche 7, in denen der Sammel-und der Verteilerraum 20, 21 angeordnet sind, auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Wärmetauschers befinden. Deshalb müssen hier zwei verschiedene Arten von Wärmetauscherplatten 6 verwendet werden.
Als Halterungen 28 sind abgewinkelte Arme aus Stahlblech vorgesehen, die an den Rohrböden 13 angelötet worden sind.
Fig. 12 zeigt einen Teillängsschnitt, ähnlich Fig. 8, bei dem jedoch die Wärmetauscherplatten 6 eine gewellte Oberflächenstruktur 22 aufweisen, um dadurch eine höhere Sicherheit gegen Vermischen von Abgas und Kühlwasser zu erreichen. Im Unterschied zur Fig. 8 sind hier außerdem die Flachrohre 8 in den Durchzügen 25 des Rohrbodens 13 eingesetzt worden.
It must also be pointed out that Fig. 8 shows another connection to the exhaust pipe, not shown.
FIG. 9 can be interpreted as a cross section in FIG. 3. It differs from FIG. 4 in that welded or drawn flat tubes 8 have been used here. Furthermore, the attachment was selected with the aid of a connecting flange 27, as is also shown in FIG. 3.
10 differs from the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 9 in that in FIG. 10 the passages 25 on the tube sheet 13 are directed towards the exhaust gas line, while in FIG. 9 the passages 25 point towards the heat exchanger.
FIG. 11 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the overhanging regions 7, in which the collecting and distribution spaces 20, 21 are arranged, are located on opposite sides of the heat exchanger. Therefore, two different types of heat exchanger plates 6 must be used here.
Angled arms made of sheet steel are provided as brackets 28 and have been soldered to the tube sheets 13.
Fig. 12 shows a partial longitudinal section, similar to Fig. 8, but in which the heat exchanger plates 6 have a corrugated surface structure 22 in order to achieve greater security against mixing of exhaust gas and cooling water. In contrast to FIG. 8, the flat tubes 8 have also been used in the passages 25 of the tube sheet 13.
