Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stacked plate heat exchanger.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to any type of heat exchanger mounted in the compartment of an engine, in particular to the exhaust gas recirculation exchangers of an engine (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Coolers or EGRC).
  • exhaust gas recirculation Coolers Exhaust Gas Recirculation Coolers or EGRC.
  • EGR exchangers on the market is a metal heat exchanger typically made of stainless steel or aluminum.
  • EGR heat exchanger There are essentially two types of EGR heat exchanger: a first type is composed of a carcass inside which is arranged a bundle of tubes for the passage of gases, the refrigerant flowing in the carcass outside the tubes, and the second type has a series of parallel plates forming the heat exchange surfaces, the exhaust gas and the refrigerant circulating between two plates, in alternating layers, fins that can be provided to improve the exchange of heat. heat.
  • the loop of the recirculation system further comprises an EGR valve regulating the passage of exhaust gases through the heat exchanger.
  • Stacked plate heat exchangers are known in which each plate has a longitudinal closing side wall, each pair of plates being mounted with its respective lateral walls arranged at the longitudinal ends to ensure the separation and closure of the gas and fluid circuits. refrigerant.
  • Each circuit may also be of the "I" shaped linear type, where the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet are disposed at opposite ends; or it may be of the U-shaped type, where the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet occupy adjacent positions at the same open end, the opposite end being closed, and defining a forward passage and a passage back through the channels of the plates.
  • the closed end for the return of the fluid is generally constituted by a closed reservoir.
  • EGR exchanger components are metallic so that the exchangers are assembled by mechanical means before being welded or arc or laser welded to provide an adequate level of sealing for the intended application.
  • the EGR exchanger may also include components made of plastic, which may perform a single function or several functions as a single part.
  • EGR exchangers The main function of EGR exchangers is the exchange of heat between the exhaust gas and the refrigerant for the purpose of cooling the gases.
  • the EGR exchangers must also fulfill other secondary functions, including assembly with the engine block, connection with the refrigerant or connection with the exhaust gas circuit.
  • JP-A-2010112201 discloses a stacked plate heat exchanger according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the subject of the present invention is a stacked plate heat exchanger designed to overcome the drawbacks of heat exchangers known in the art, making it possible to reduce or even eliminate the proportion of the inlet flow of the fluid to be cooled which does not enter the heat exchanger. exchanger and is introduced directly into the output stream of the fluid to be cooled in the "U" configuration exchangers.
  • the stacked plate heat exchanger, object of the present invention comprises the features of claim 1.
  • the separation means make it possible to integrate the closure function between the inlet flow and the outlet flow of the fluid to be cooled, if although they act as a separation barrier between the inlet flow and the outlet flow of the fluid to be cooled and furthermore avoid, as far as possible, the risk of diverting the flow between said inlet and said outlet.
  • the separation means comprise a barrier wall coupled to the outer face of the fixing flange, said wall being capable of dividing the inlet and outlet zone of the fluid to be cooled at said open end of the plate assembly. stacked. Said wall must be adapted to the design of the plates in each configuration.
  • said separating wall is capable of coming into direct contact with a shutter or valve of an EGR valve to close the inlet flow and the outlet flow of the fluid to be cooled through the exchanger.
  • Said wall being integrated in the outer part of the flange, it also plays the role of interface between the exchanger and the valve or the EGR pipe.
  • said wall may be an independent piece coupled to the flange or is manufactured as a single piece integrated into the flange.
  • the configuration of the flange can also vary depending on the configuration of the EGR exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger 1 EGR comprises a plurality of stacked plates 2 between which the gas to be cooled and the refrigerant fluid circulate between two independent circuits defined by said plates 2, in alternating layers.
  • Each plate 2 has a longitudinal longitudinal closing wall 3, as shown by the Figures 1 and 2 each pair of plates 2 being mounted with their respective side walls 3 disposed in the longitudinal ends for separation and closure of the circuits.

  • Said wall 7 can also be an independent part coupled to the flange 5 or be manufactured as a single piece integrated flange 5.
  • the stacked plate EGR exchangers may have two possible “U” configurations, namely horizontal or vertical, as will be explained later.
  • FIGS 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the invention in which the exchanger 1 is of the type of "U" vertical configuration, that is, the gas flow is directed through all the channels of the gas circuit of the half of the plates 2, and returns through other channels of the gas circuit belonging to the rest of the plates 2 completely separate.
  • the separating wall 7 is integrated in the flange 5 in a substantially horizontal position and welded in the oven to an intermediate plate 2a for separating the inlet flow and the gas outlet flow.
  • the separating wall 7 makes it possible to integrate the closure function between the inlet flow and the gas outlet flow, so that it acts as a separating barrier between the inlet flow and the flow the gas outlet and further avoids as far as possible the risk of diverting the flow between said inlet and said outlet.
