Definitions

  • the invention relates to a soldered capacitor according to the preamble of claim 1, as it was known from EP 0867670 A2.
  • the dryer / filter cartridge is brought into the collector after the soldering process, positioned there, and then the collector is closed pressure-tight by a screw connection.
  • the dryer / filter cartridge because it is not subjected to the high temperatures of the soldering process, is made of plastic and connected to the sealing cover by a clip connection - this allows the dryer / filter cartridge to be mounted on the one hand together with the sealing cover, but also - in the event of a repair or Maintenance - can be replaced together with the cover.
  • the attachment of the dryer / filter cartridge by means of a clip connection on the floor is advantageous in that a first metallic part of this clip connection, an anchor part, is already finished with the soldering process of the capacitor.
  • the dryer / filter cartridge which is made of plastic and has molded locking elements on the bottom, only needs to be inserted into the collecting tube and clipped onto the bottom. This results in a simple and clear assembly, which in turn lowers the manufacturing costs.
  • After the dryer / filter cartridge has been installed and fastened in the collector it is closed by inserting and soldering the cover plate, preferably by soldering. However, the closing can also be accomplished by another non-detachable material connection, e.g. B. welding or gluing, caulking or flanging.
  • a method is advantageous which includes inexpensive assembly and manufacture by means of furnace soldering, clipping and closing the collector in three successive method steps. This process also helps to reduce manufacturing costs.
  • An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below. Show it
  • Fig. 1 is a collector for a refrigerant condenser
  • Fig. 1 shows a collector 1 for a refrigerant condenser, not shown, according to the prior art, for. B. according to DE-A 42 38 853.
  • Such capacitors are as capacitor modules! referred to because the collector is structurally integrated in the condenser, ie it is arranged parallel to one of the two header pipes and is in refrigerant connection with the latter. Therefore, the header 1 has a refrigerant inflow opening 2 and a refrigerant outflow opening 3. Via these two openings, the collector is therefore connected to a collector pipe, not shown, of a condenser on the refrigerant side.
  • the collector 1 consists of an aluminum tube 4, which is adapted in terms of its wall thickness and strength to the operating pressure of the condenser.
  • the tube 4 is closed at the end by a disc 5 on the bottom and a disc 6 at the upper end.
  • a dryer / filter cartridge 7 which consists of a cage-like plastic housing 8 and accommodates dryer granules (not shown).
  • the cage-like plastic housing 8 forms a closed space which is closed at the bottom by a base part 9 and at the top by a dip-in cover 10, but is open to the outside through slot-like openings 11.
  • An annular gap 12 is left between the housing 8 and the tube 4.
  • the plastic cage 8 has a circumferential bead-like thickening 13 in its upper area and a similar annular bead 14 in its lowermost area, ie below the outflow opening 3, both of which are in contact with the inner wall of the tube 4.
  • a circumferential sealing lip 15 is injection molded onto the plastic housing 8, which seals the plastic housing 8 against the inner wall of the tube 4. From the height of this sealing lip 15 to the bottom region 9, the plastic housing 8 is surrounded (or lined) with a fine-meshed sieve 16 in order to retain impurities in the form of minute particles in the housing 8.
  • This screen 16 thus acts as a filter.
  • a detail, denoted by X, in the bottom area of the collector 1 is shown in FIG. 2 and shows in particular the attachment of the dryer / filter cartridge 7 to the bottom plate 5.
  • the bottom plate 5 is soldered into the tube 4, that is to say it forms a materially integral, permanent connection to the tube 4.
  • the base plate 5 has an approximately rectangular slot 17, which as such can also be seen in FIG. 2a.
  • An anchor part 19 is inserted and soldered into this slot 17 with a plug-in part 18 of the same cross section.
  • This anchor part 19 is - as can be seen in dashed lines in Fig. 2a - a flat sheet metal part and has two diametrically opposed hook-like projections 20, 21.
  • the dryer / filter cartridge 7 is then pressed further down in the direction of the base plate 5 until the latching element 22 snaps inwards and engages behind the hook-shaped projections 20 and 21 in a form-fitting manner.
  • the dryer / filter cartridge 7 then lies with its base part 9 on the anchor part 19 and is through the locking element
  • Anchor part 19 and locking element 22 thus form a clip connection.
  • the disk 6 is inserted into the tube 4 and soldered or otherwise permanently connected to the tube 4 in a pressure-tight manner.
  • the capacitor is now fully assembled.
