Abstract

  • 2.1. Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Wärmeübertrager-Flachrohrblock mit wenigstens einem Flachrohr (1), das an wenigstens einem Endabschnitt (1a) umgeformt ist und mit diesem in ein Anschlussraumbauteil mündet.
  • 2.2. Erfindungsgemäß ist der umgeformte Flachrohr-Endabschnitt durch eine oder mehrere Längstrennlinien (3) in mehrere Teilendabschnitte (4a, 4b) aufgeteilt, die gegenüber einem anschließenden Flachrohrmittelabschnitt (1b) tordiert und endseitig mit ihren einander zugewandten Flachseiten (5a, 5b) gegeneinander anliegend in das Anschlussraumbauteil eingefügt sind.
  • 2.3. Verwendung z.B. als Gaskühler/Kondensator oder als Verdampfer in Fahrzeug-Klimaanlagen.
