Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat exchanger for a thermodynamic machine with an inflow and outflow side for a combustion gas, with lines arranged between the inflow and outflow side for guiding the working gas of the thermodynamic machine which is in indirect heat exchange with the combustion gas and with at least one with at least one line thermally connected heat-conducting fin, which protrudes from the rear of at least one line from the inflow side.
- a Stirling engine is known from the prior art in order to increase the surface area of a heat exchanger of a thermodynamic machine charged with a combustion gas and thus to increase its efficiency ( EP1988352A2 ), in which the working gas-carrying lines of the heat exchanger are provided with heat-conducting fins.
- each line is covered on its front side, seen from the upstream side of the heat exchanger, with the heat conducting rib, which then protrudes from the rear side of the line.
- heat-conducting fins designed in this way lead to a high design outlay on the heat exchanger, which proves, inter alia, disadvantageous with regard to the production costs.
- a heat exchanger according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the DE3844554A1 known.
- the invention therefore has the task of simplifying the design of a heat exchanger for a thermodynamic machine, but nevertheless ensuring high efficiency.
- the manufacturing expenditure of the heat exchanger can be significantly reduced and at the same time its efficiency can be improved because the surface of several lines is increased at the same time by a heat-conducting rib.
- the heat-conducting fins also have tabs that protrude to the front of the lines and form a positive connection with at least one of the lines, this not only enables a stable attachment of the heat-conducting fins to the lines in a structurally simple manner, but also the heat transfer of the combustion gas flowing into the heat exchanger to be improved on the working gas.
- the tabs can in fact contribute to increasing the surface of the line in the area of the upstream side, which can ensure better heat removal of the combustion gas flowing directly into the heat exchanger. Despite the simplicity of the design of the heat exchanger, a high level of stability combined with a high degree of efficiency can thus be achieved according to the invention.
- the efficiency of the heat exchanger can be increased even further by the lines on the front being free of lugs at least in some areas. Because of this front release of the lines, the heat-conducting fins do not hinder the direct loading of the lines with combustion gas, which can increase or accelerate the heat exchange with the working gas carried in the lines. In addition, this exemption allows the radiant heat of a burner to hit the pipes directly, which further increases the heat input. The indirect heat transfer of the heat exchanger can thus be improved.
- the heat exchanger has flow openings between the lines for the combustion gas flowing from the inflow to the outflow side, a high surface area on the heat exchanger can be made possible without deflection losses. This can further increase the efficiency of the heat exchanger.
- the attachment of the heat-conducting fins to the lines can be improved.
- the lines of the lines can be stabilized with respect to undesired thermal expansions and the dimensions of the heat exchanger can thus be kept within narrow tolerances. A stable heat exchanger can be created with it.
- a firm hold of the heat-conducting fin on the lines can be created if at least two tabs form a positive connection between the heat-conducting fin and a line.
- the design relationships can be further simplified if at least one tab in a curved form connects to a respective line.
- Corresponding bends can be produced, for example, with the aid of a tool acting from the inflow side in order to form the positive connection between the heat-conducting rib and the line.
- this pre-tensioning bend can ensure that the heat-conducting fin remains tightened on the line - thus preventing an interruption in the connection for the heat-conducting connection of the heat-conducting fin and line.
- At least one tab is designed to be rotatable from an assembly position inclined to the rib plane into a fastening position plane with the rib plane, structurally simple way to create a stable form fit between the heat-conducting rib and the line.
- the assembly of the heat exchanger can be made considerably easier.
- the heat-conducting fins can be fastened to the lines by simply pressing them onto the lines and, if necessary, subsequently soldered.
- the surface of the heat exchanger can be increased even further by providing at least one intermediate plate between the heat-conducting fins, which is attached to the heat-conducting fins and connects to the respective lines. In this way, the efficiency of the heat exchanger can also be improved.
- the intermediate plates are provided in rows lying one on top of the other and arranged in a gap, a further increase in the surface area and thus in the efficiency of the heat exchanger can be ensured.
- the surface of the heat exchanger can be increased.
- a concave surface can be cylindrical or semi-cylindrical, for example, which in particular can create a compact heat exchanger.
- the lines can, for example, be arranged in a symmetrical arrangement next to one another around the inflow side in one or more rows in order to remove heat from the inflowing combustion gas in an improved manner.
- a relatively high mechanical and / or thermal stability on the heat exchanger can be achieved in this way.
- heat-conducting fins can of course also be cohesively connected to the lines for positive locking, for example by a soldering process.
- the heat exchanger according to the invention can preferably be used in a thermodynamic machine.
- This heat exchanger can in particular extract thermal energy from the combustion gas of the thermodynamic machine or the combustion gas supplied to the thermodynamic machine.
- thermodynamic machine 1 for example shown, for example a sterling machine designed as an “alpha machine”, shows a heat exchanger 2 according to a first exemplary embodiment.
- the heat exchanger 2 is connected by means of connecting lines 3, 4 to the expansion cylinder 5 or to a regenerator housing 6 and carries the working gas 7 of the thermodynamic machine 1 between them.
- the path of the working gas 7 of the thermodynamic machine 1 leads from the regenerator housing 6 via the connecting line 3 into the lines 10 and subsequently via the connecting line 4 into the expansion cylinder 5 - and back again.
- the heat exchanger 2 has an inflow side 8 on which the lines 10 are arranged.
- the surfaces of the lines 10 and the heat exchanger 2 are enlarged with the aid of heat-conducting fins 15.
- heat-conducting fins 15 are connected to a plurality of lines 10 and fastened to at least one line 10.
- the thermal fins 15 protrude from the upstream side 8 of these lines 10 from the rear side or from the rear side 18 thereof (cf. also Fig. 2 ).
- the heat-conducting fins 15 each have tabs 15a and 15b. These tabs 15a and 15b protrude from the front 16 of the lines 10, which front 16 is directed towards the inflow side 8.
- the tabs 15a and 15b form a positive connection 27 between the lines 10 and the heat-conducting rib 15 in order to fasten them to the lines 10.
- a form fit 27 can also be formed by the tabs 15a and 15b.
- the positive connection 27 can arise between the lines 10 or between a line 10, as shown in FIG Fig. 3a can be seen in the middle.
- the combustion gas 11 can also get from the inflow side 8 between the through-openings 19 formed by the lines 10 and the heat-conducting fins 15 to the outflow side 9 of the heat exchanger 2 and is thus considerably cooled by the increased heat exchange surface of the heat-conducting fins 15.
- the flat heat-conducting fins 15 made of sheet metal form or form the tabs 15a and 15b, which can also be suitable for a spiral spring to form for an open snap connection 21 with the two outer lines 10.
- intermediate plates 22 are fastened between the heat-conducting fins 15 and connect to the respective lines 10 for heat transfer. This increases the surface area and thus the efficiency of the heat exchanger 2.
- the intermediate plates 22 are profiled in order to allow a throughflow opening 19 between the heat conducting fins 15.
- Fig. 4a only one tab 15c is provided on the heat-conducting fin 15 between two adjacent lines 10.
- the heat-conducting fin 15 is fixed to the lines 10 in such a way that the individual tabs 15c are rotated about their longitudinal axis by approximately 45 degrees and thus move them from an assembly position 25 inclined to the fin plane 24 into a fastening position 26 parallel to the fin plane 24 .
- the diagonal of the cross section of the tab 15b thus ensures that the heat-conducting fin 15 is locked in place on the lines 10.
- the heat exchanger 12 shown differs from that to Fig. 1 shown heat exchanger 2 on a semi-cylindrical inflow side 8.
- the lines 10 each open into a collector 14, 17 on the expansion cylinder 5 or on the regenerator housing 6.
- the heat-conducting fins 15 are thermally connected to a plurality of lines 10 and run on the back of the lines 10.
- Their tabs 15a, 15b, 15c protrude to the front 16 of the lines 10 and also form a positive fit 27 with the lines 10, as is the case in FIGS Figures 1a , 3a, 3b, 4a , 4c, etc. can be seen.
- Thermal insulation material 20 ensures that the combustion gas 12 cannot flow past the heat exchanger 12 on the outside.
- the lines 10 can also be arranged in several rows, which has not been shown in more detail.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauscher für eine thermodynamische Maschine mit einer Anström- und Abströmseite für ein Verbrennungsgas, mit zwischen der Anström- und Abströmseite angeordneten Leitungen zur Führung des im indirekten Wärmeaustausch mit dem Verbrennungsgas stehenden Arbeitsgases der thermodynamischen Maschine und mit mindestens einer mit zumindest einer Leitung thermisch verbundenen Wärmeleitrippe, die mindestens einer Leitung von der Anströmseite aus gesehen rückseitig absteht.The invention relates to a heat exchanger for a thermodynamic machine with an inflow and outflow side for a combustion gas, with lines arranged between the inflow and outflow side for guiding the working gas of the thermodynamic machine which is in indirect heat exchange with the combustion gas and with at least one with at least one line thermally connected heat-conducting fin, which protrudes from the rear of at least one line from the inflow side.
Um die Oberfläche eines mit einem Verbrennungsgas beaufschlagten Wärmetauschers einer thermodynamischen Maschine zu vergrößern und damit deren Wirkungsgrad zu erhöhen, ist aus dem Stand der Technik eine Stirlingmaschine bekannt (
Ein Wärmetauscher nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus der
Die Erfindung hat sich daher ausgehend vom eingangs geschilderten Stand der Technik die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Wärmetauscher für eine thermodynamische Maschine in seiner Konstruktion zu vereinfachen, dabei aber dennoch einen hohen Wirkungsgrad sicherzustellen.Starting from the prior art described at the outset, the invention therefore has the task of simplifying the design of a heat exchanger for a thermodynamic machine, but nevertheless ensuring high efficiency.
Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the features of
Verläuft mindestens eine mit mehreren Leitungen thermisch verbundene Wärmeleitrippe rückseitig dieser Leitungen, kann der Herstellungsaufwand des Wärmetauschers deutlich vermindert und zugleich dessen Wirkungsgrad verbessert werden, weil durch eine Wärmeleitrippe die Oberfläche von mehreren Leitungen gleichzeitig erhöht wird. Weisen zudem die Wärmeleitrippen Laschen auf, die zur Vorderseite der Leitungen vorragen und einen Formschluss mit mindestens einer der Leitungen ausbilden, kann nicht nur auf konstruktiv einfache Weise eine standfeste Befestigung der Wärmeleitrippen an den Leitungen ermöglicht, sondern auch die Wärmeübertragung des in den Wärmetauscher einströmenden Verbrennungsgases auf das Arbeitsgas verbessert werden. Die Laschen können nämlich im Bereich der Anströmseite zur Erhöhung der Oberfläche der Leitung beitragen, was für einen besseren Wärmeentzug des direkt in den Wärmetauscher einströmenden Verbrennungsgases sorgen kann. Trotz konstruktiver Einfachheit am Wärmetauscher kann somit erfindungsgemäß eine hohe Standfestigkeit kombiniert mit einem hohen Wirkungsgrad erreicht werden.If at least one heat-conducting rib thermally connected to a plurality of lines runs on the rear side of these lines, the manufacturing expenditure of the heat exchanger can be significantly reduced and at the same time its efficiency can be improved because the surface of several lines is increased at the same time by a heat-conducting rib. If the heat-conducting fins also have tabs that protrude to the front of the lines and form a positive connection with at least one of the lines, this not only enables a stable attachment of the heat-conducting fins to the lines in a structurally simple manner, but also the heat transfer of the combustion gas flowing into the heat exchanger to be improved on the working gas. The tabs can in fact contribute to increasing the surface of the line in the area of the upstream side, which can ensure better heat removal of the combustion gas flowing directly into the heat exchanger. Despite the simplicity of the design of the heat exchanger, a high level of stability combined with a high degree of efficiency can thus be achieved according to the invention.
Der Wirkungsgrad des Wärmetauschers kann noch weiter erhöht werden, indem die Leitungen an ihrer Vorderseite zumindest bereichsweise frei von Laschen sind. Durch diese vordere Freistellung der Leitungen behindern die Wärmeleitrippen nämlich nicht die direkte Beaufschlagung der Leitungen mit Verbrennungsgas, was den Wärmeaustausch mit dem in den Leitungen geführten Arbeitsgas erhöhen bzw. beschleunigen kann. Zudem kann durch diese Freistellung die Strahlungswärme eines Brenners direkt auf die Leitungen treffen, was den Wärmeeintrag noch weiter erhöht. Die indirekte Wärmeübertragung des Wärmetauschers kann damit verbessert werden.The efficiency of the heat exchanger can be increased even further by the lines on the front being free of lugs at least in some areas. Because of this front release of the lines, the heat-conducting fins do not hinder the direct loading of the lines with combustion gas, which can increase or accelerate the heat exchange with the working gas carried in the lines. In addition, this exemption allows the radiant heat of a burner to hit the pipes directly, which further increases the heat input. The indirect heat transfer of the heat exchanger can thus be improved.
Weist der Wärmetauscher zwischen den Leitungen Durchströmöffnungen für das von der Anström- zur Abströmseite hin strömende Verbrennungsgas auf, kann ohne Umlenkverluste eine hohe Oberfläche am Wärmetauscher ermöglicht werden. Der Wirkungsgrad des Wärmetauschers kann sich damit weiter erhöhen.If the heat exchanger has flow openings between the lines for the combustion gas flowing from the inflow to the outflow side, a high surface area on the heat exchanger can be made possible without deflection losses. This can further increase the efficiency of the heat exchanger.
Die Konstruktionsverhältnisse können noch weiter vereinfacht werden, wenn die Wärmeleitrippen flach ausgeformt sind und die Laschen ausbilden. Insbesondere die Fertigung der Wärmeleitrippen aus einem Blech kann zu einem kostengünstigen Wärmetauscher führen.The design relationships can be simplified even further if the heat-conducting ribs are flat and form the tabs. In particular, the production of the heat-conducting fins from a sheet metal can lead to an inexpensive heat exchanger.
Greift mindestens eine Lasche zwischen den Leitungen ein, kann die Befestigung der Wärmeleitrippen an den Leitungen verbessert werden. Zudem können damit die Leitungen in ihrem Verlauf gegenüber unerwünschten Wärmedehnungen stabilisiert und so die Abmessungen des Wärmetauschers in engen Toleranzen gehalten werden. Ein standfester Wärmetauscher kann damit geschaffen werden.If at least one tab engages between the lines, the attachment of the heat-conducting fins to the lines can be improved. In addition, the lines of the lines can be stabilized with respect to undesired thermal expansions and the dimensions of the heat exchanger can thus be kept within narrow tolerances. A stable heat exchanger can be created with it.
Ein fester Halt der Wärmeleitrippe an den Leitungen kann geschaffen werden, wenn mindestens zwei Laschen zwischen der Wärmeleitrippe und einer Leitung einen Formschluss ausbilden.A firm hold of the heat-conducting fin on the lines can be created if at least two tabs form a positive connection between the heat-conducting fin and a line.
Die Konstruktionsverhältnisse können weiter vereinfacht werden, wenn mindestens eine Lasche in gebogener Form an eine jeweilige Leitung anschließt. Die Herstellung entsprechender Biegungen kann beispielsweise mithilfe eines von der Anströmseite hier wirkenden Werkzeugs erfolgen, um damit den Formschluss zwischen Wärmeleitrippe und Leitung auszubilden. Außerdem kann durch diese vorspannende Biegung sichergestellt werden, dass die Wärmeleitrippe an der Leitung angezogen bleibt - womit eine Unterbrechung des Anschlusses zur wärmeleitenden Verbindung von Wärmeleitrippe und Leitung verhindert wird.The design relationships can be further simplified if at least one tab in a curved form connects to a respective line. Corresponding bends can be produced, for example, with the aid of a tool acting from the inflow side in order to form the positive connection between the heat-conducting rib and the line. In addition, this pre-tensioning bend can ensure that the heat-conducting fin remains tightened on the line - thus preventing an interruption in the connection for the heat-conducting connection of the heat-conducting fin and line.
Dadurch dass erfindungsgemäß mindestens eine Lasche von einer zur Rippenebene geneigten Montagelage in eine mit der Rippenebene plane Befestigungslage verdrehbar ausgebildet ist, kann auf konstruktiv einfache Weise ein standfester Formschluss zwischen der Wärmeleitrippe und der Leitung geschaffen werden.The fact that, according to the invention, at least one tab is designed to be rotatable from an assembly position inclined to the rib plane into a fastening position plane with the rib plane, structurally simple way to create a stable form fit between the heat-conducting rib and the line.
Bildet mindestens eine Lasche eine Biegefeder einer offenen Schnappverbindung mit einer Leitung aus, kann der Zusammenbau des Wärmetauschers erheblich erleichtert werden. Die Wärmeleitrippen können auf diese Weise nämlich durch einfaches Aufdrücken auf die Leitungen an diesen befestigt und gegebenenfalls in weiterer Folge verlötet werden.If at least one tab forms a spiral spring of an open snap connection with a line, the assembly of the heat exchanger can be made considerably easier. In this way, the heat-conducting fins can be fastened to the lines by simply pressing them onto the lines and, if necessary, subsequently soldered.
Die Oberfläche des Wärmetauschers kann noch weiter erhöht werden, indem zwischen den Wärmeleitrippen mindestens ein Zwischenblech vorgesehen ist, das an den Wärmeleitrippen befestigt an die jeweiligen Leitungen anschließt. Auf diese Weise kann der Wärmetauscher auch hinsichtlich seines Wirkungsgrads verbessert werden.The surface of the heat exchanger can be increased even further by providing at least one intermediate plate between the heat-conducting fins, which is attached to the heat-conducting fins and connects to the respective lines. In this way, the efficiency of the heat exchanger can also be improved.
Sind die Zwischenbleche in aufeinander liegenden, zueinander auf Lücke angeordneten Reihen vorgesehen, kann für eine weitere Erhöhung der Oberfläche und damit des Wirkungsgrads des Wärmetauschers gesorgt werden.If the intermediate plates are provided in rows lying one on top of the other and arranged in a gap, a further increase in the surface area and thus in the efficiency of the heat exchanger can be ensured.
Weist die Anströmseite eine konkave Fläche auf, kann die Oberfläche des Wärmetauschers erhöht werden. Solch eine konkave Fläche kann beispielsweise zylindrisch oder halbzylindrisch ausgebildet sein, was insbesondere einen kompakten Wärmetauscher schaffen kann. Die Leitungen können beispielsweise in symmetrischer Anordnung nebeneinander um die Anströmseite ein oder mehrreihig angeordnet sein, um Wärme vom einströmenden Verbrennungsgas verbessert abzuziehen. Zudem kann auf diese Weise eine relativ hohe mechanische und/oder thermische Stabilität am Wärmetauscher erreicht werden.If the inflow side has a concave surface, the surface of the heat exchanger can be increased. Such a concave surface can be cylindrical or semi-cylindrical, for example, which in particular can create a compact heat exchanger. The lines can, for example, be arranged in a symmetrical arrangement next to one another around the inflow side in one or more rows in order to remove heat from the inflowing combustion gas in an improved manner. In addition, a relatively high mechanical and / or thermal stability on the heat exchanger can be achieved in this way.
Im Allgemeinen wird erwähnt, dass selbstverständlich die Wärmeleitrippen mit den Leitungen zum Formschluss auch stoffschlüssig verbunden sein können, beispielsweise durch ein Lötverfahren.In general, it is mentioned that the heat-conducting fins can of course also be cohesively connected to the lines for positive locking, for example by a soldering process.
Der erfindungsgemäße Wärmetauscher kann bevorzugt bei einer thermodynamische Maschine Verwendung finden. Dieser Wärmetauscher kann nämlich besonders Wärmeenergie dem Verbrennungsgas der thermodynamischen Maschine bzw. dem der thermodynamischen Maschine zugeführten Verbrennungsgas entziehen.The heat exchanger according to the invention can preferably be used in a thermodynamic machine. This heat exchanger can in particular extract thermal energy from the combustion gas of the thermodynamic machine or the combustion gas supplied to the thermodynamic machine.
