Abstract

Es sind Wärmeübertragungseinheiten bekannt, bei denen sich zur Kühlleistungsverbesserung Rippen (14) über die gesamte Kühlerlauflänge erstrecken.
Erfindungsgemäß wird nun vorgeschlagen, bei gleich bleibendem Bauraum mehr Kühlfläche in einem ersten Abschnitt (9) bereitzustellen, in dem der Temperaturgradient höher ist, in dem dort viele Rippen (14) angeordnet werden und auf derartige Rippen in einem Bereich geringerer Temperaturgradienten, also in einem zweiten Abschnitt (12) zu verzichten oder deren Anzahl zu verringern.
Hierdurch wird insgesamt der Wirkungsgrad einer derartigen Wärmeübertragungseinheit verbessert.
