Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühleranordnung bestehend aus mehreren Kühlern (2, 6, 7), die je zwei Sammelkästen (5) aufweisen, wobei zwei Sammelkästen (5) benachbarter Kühler mit ihrer Längswand (24) eine Kante (23) der Kühleranordnung bilden, wobei die Kühler (2; 6; 7) in mindestens einer Reihe angeordnete, die Sammelkästen (5) verbindende Flachrohre (8) aufweisen, die quer zur Ventilatorachse (V) des im Inneren der Kühleranordnung angeordneten Radialventilators (10) verlaufen, mit einer Frontwand (F) und einer Rückwand (R) sowie mit Zu - und Abflußleitungen (3z; 3a) für durch die Flachrohre (8) wenigstens zweier Kühler strömendes Fluid, die an Sammelkästen (5) angeschlossen sind, derart, daß in direkter oder indirekter Nachbarschaft zu dem Ende des ersten und / oder letzten Flachrohrs (8.1) der mindestens einen Flachrohr - Reihe ein Anschlußstutzen (12) angeordnet ist, dessen Mündung (21) in den Sammelkasten (5) in einer Reihe mit den Mündungen (22) der Flachrohre (8; 8.1) in den Sammelkasten (5) vorgesehen ist und der den Anschluß der Zu - oder Abflußleitung (3z; 3a) der Kühler (2, 6, 7) gestattet. Es werden dem Stand der Technik weitere gestalterische Varianten einer kompakten und raumsparenden Kühleranordnung hinzugefügt, wenn erfindungsgemäß zwischen zwei benachbarten, eine Kante (23) der Kühleranordnung ausbildenden Sammelkästen (5), in deren benachbarten Längswänden (24) mindestens jeweils eine Strömungsöffnung (25) angeordnet ist, um die zugeordneten Kühler (6; 2) in wenigstens einer Kante (23) der Kühleranordnung strömungstechnisch zu verbinden.

The invention relates to a cooler arrangement comprising a plurality of coolers (2, 6, 7), each of which has two header boxes (5), two header boxes (5) of adjacent coolers with their longitudinal wall (24) forming an edge (23) of the cooler arrangement, whereby the coolers (2; 6; 7) have flat tubes (8) arranged in at least one row and connecting the header tanks (5) and running transversely to the fan axis (V) of the radial fan (10) arranged inside the cooler arrangement, with a front wall ( F) and a rear wall (R) and with inflow and outflow lines (3z; 3a) for fluid flowing through the flat tubes (8) of at least two coolers, which are connected to header boxes (5), in such a way that in direct or indirect proximity to a connection piece (12) is arranged at the end of the first and / or last flat tube (8.1) of the at least one row of flat tubes, its mouth (21) in the collecting box (5) in a row with the mouths (22) of the flat tubes (8; 8.1) is provided in the collecting box (5) and which connects the inflow or outflow line (3z; 3a) the cooler (2, 6, 7) is permitted. Further design variants of a compact and space-saving cooler arrangement are added to the prior art if, according to the invention, at least one flow opening (25) is arranged in each case between two adjacent header boxes (5) forming an edge (23) of the cooler arrangement, in their adjacent longitudinal walls (24) in order to fluidically connect the assigned coolers (6; 2) in at least one edge (23) of the cooler arrangement.
