Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Heat exchangers, in particular oil coolers, constructed from one another stacked, trough-shaped heat transfer plates, which alternately channels for the coolant and form the oil, as well as a combined base and mounting plate, the Has openings for the passage of the oil and the coolant, and with the Package formed of heat transfer plates, soldered.
  • EP 0 828 980 B1 discloses heat exchangers or oil coolers of this type, which are constructed of trough-shaped plates. The plates have bent over Edges up. The individual stacked plates are at their edges scaly above each other. The media will pass through pipes in the Distributed heat exchanger, the plates always alternately a channel of form a fluid and a channel of the other fluid.
  • the entire oil cooler is by means of a mounting plate on the housing, for. B. on the housing of a filter, screwed. Between oil cooler and mounting plate here is a Distributor plate integrated. In this distributor plate are holes for the coolant, and for the oil distributing the two fluids. It is suggested, that the distributor plate and the mounting plate both in one piece as well can be formed in two pieces.
  • the oil cooler, distributors - and the Mounting plate, are joined together during soldering.
  • For sealing the Oil cooler relative to the housing will be in the case during manufacture Cast grooves, in which then seals are inserted.
  • the housing contains at the same time the connecting pieces for the two fluids.
  • a further caseless oil cooler is known, the one Reinforcing plate and a base plate for fastening has.
  • the reinforcing plate like a thickened heat transfer plate.
  • the base and reinforcement plate are soldered to the oil cooler.
  • the base plate also has a peripheral edge with protruding tabs for Tighten the oil cooler to the housing of an engine block.
  • the Connecting pieces for oil and coolant are inserted directly into suitable holes in the Housing plugged. Sealed the oil cooler over the housing over Seals that sit on the one hand on the connecting piece and the other in a groove are inserted in the housing.
  • the attachment of the groove in the housing including the creation of a flat sealing surface on the housing can become a lead to some undesirable expense.
  • the entire finished brazed oil cooler 1 can be seen, with inserted seals 2 , before it is screwed by means of the holes 5 on the housing, not shown, or on the engine block.
  • the base 3a and the mounting plate 3b are according to a first embodiment, as shown here, of two different thickness, but preferably with the same outer shape, soldered together plates 3a , 3b exist. Wherein the recesses 10 are to be punched out of the mounting plate 3b for the seals 2 .
  • the plates 3a , 3b can also have the same thickness.
  • the inside 32 which is the side facing away from the engine block side of the mounting plate 3b is solder plated.
  • the base 3a and the mounting plate 3b but also consist of a single plate, in which case the recesses 10 for the seals 2 are preferably made by machining, for example milling.
  • FIG. 2 A detailed plan view of the underside of the mounting plate 3b of the oil cooler 1 is shown in FIG. 2.
  • the sections E - E and F - F shown here can be seen in the following figures.
  • the molded lugs 29 on the outside of the seals 2 serve to pinch the seal 2 , so that they can not fall out during mounting.
  • the recesses 10 for receiving the seals 2 have approximately a bone-like shape. It may also be possible, as in an embodiment not shown, another form, depending on the position of the openings 4 , 6 , which in turn is given by the shape and requirements of the engine block.
  • FIG. 3a and b the section F - F of Fig. 2 is shown.
  • the gasket 2 has noses 29 on the thick, annular bead 28 and is thinned in the middle 27 connecting the two annular beads 28 .
  • the opening 4 , 6 has a smaller cross-section than the recess 10 at the openings 4 , 6 , so that the seal 2 can not be pressed into the oil cooler 1 inside. This achieves a tight connection between oil cooler 1 including soldered base 3a and mounting plate 3b with the engine block.
  • the inside 32 of the mounting plate 3b is solder plated.
  • impressions 20 for a solder deposit in the vicinity of and around the recess 10 are embossed in the fastening plate 3b .
  • These indentations 20 as seen in Fig. 5, interruptions 34 , but they could also be formed continuously.
  • Fig. 3b you can see the soldered oil cooler 1 with the soldered base 3a and mounting plate 3b and with inserted seal. 2
  • FIG. 4a and b the section E - E of Fig. 2 is shown.
  • the recess 10 , 41 in the mounting plate 3b has a larger diameter than the opening 4 in the base plate 3a .
  • Fig. 4b can be seen the soldered oil cooler 1 with soldered base 3a and mounting plate 3b and with inserted seal. 2
  • the resulting in the oil cooler 1 by the nesting of the trough-shaped heat transfer plates 9 channels 7 , 8 for the coolant and the oil have been indicated by flow arrows.
  • the selected in this embodiment the bone shape of the recess 10 is easy to see. It is composed of two circular openings 41 and a 41 connecting the openings slot 42nd
  • the shape of the seal 2 is adapted to the shape of the recess 10 in the respective embodiment.
  • the holes 43 are used for venting during the soldering process.
  • Fig. 6 an alternative embodiment is shown. It shows that the recesses 10 only consist of circular openings 41 without connecting slot 42 . This can be useful depending on the requirement.
  • the recesses 10 are larger than the openings 4 , 6 so that it is ensured here that the seal 2 is not pressed into the oil cooler.
  • the impressions 20 for the solder deposit are arranged around the recesses 10 , 41 .
  • the seals 2 also consist of a thick annular bead 28 with molded lugs 29 for clamping the seal 2 , during assembly of the oil cooler 1 on the engine block.
  • the recesses 10 are composed of two circular recesses and a rectangular recess connecting them. This rectangular recess can also be omitted, depending on the requirement.
  • the seals 2 are to be adjusted depending on the case.
