Description
- The invention relates to a heat exchanger with an all metal, preferably all aluminum, construction, in particular as claimed in the preamble of
patent claim 1. - All metal heat exchanger, in particular soldered aluminum heat exchangers, are used as coolant radiators or charger radiators for motor vehicles. The advantage of these heat exchangers is that they are of one grade of material and therefore can easily be recycled. DE-A 195 43 986 by the applicant has also disclosed a soldered aluminum heat exchanger with flat tubes whose ends are widened to form a rectangular cross section. The tube ends have longitudinal sides and narrow sides, with the longitudinal sides resting one against the other in a sealed fashion and being soldered to one another, while the narrow sides form external surfaces which are connected to the internal surfaces of a collecting box. The collecting box has an approximately U shaped profile (U profile) with lateral limbs which embrace the narrow sides of the tubes. This design allows a conventional tube bottom with the corresponding tube/tube bottom connections to be dispensed with. As an alternative to the U profile, this document also discloses a cylindrical collecting vessel which has parallel collars for abutting against the narrow sides of the tube ends. A problem with this design is the soldered connections when internal pressure is applied to the heat exchanger during operation. In particular in the region of the soldered connections between the narrow sides of the tube ends and the limbs of the collecting box it is possible for fractures to form in the soldering seam, in particular if the collecting box profile is not resilient and flexural stresses additionally occur in the region of the soldering seam.
- The object of the present invention is to improve the durability of the soldered connections, in particular in the region of the tube ends, in a heat exchanger of the type mentioned at the beginning.
- This object is achieved by means of the features of
patent claim 1. The invention provides that the U profile of the collecting box be embodied in a way which is optimized with respect to stress, the configuration according to the invention providing a round arc between two straight limbs of the U profile. At the same, the limbs preferably merge with a continuously increasing curvature into the round arc which has an upper, symmetrically arranged apex point. This configuration results in favorable distribution of stress in the cross sections of the collecting box because the profile of the collecting box can yield owing to the arcuate design. As a result, unfavorable flexural stresses can also be kept away from the soldered connections. Overall, this optimized profile configuration produces a durable soldered connection with which the formation of fractures as a result of unfavorable loading is avoided. - In one advantageous exemplary embodiment of the invention, irregularity in the loading, such as force, at the junction from one material thickness to another material thickness is reduced or prevented.
- An exemplary embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and, will be described in more detail below. In the drawing:
-
FIG. 1 shows a detail of an all aluminum radiator with a collecting box, and -
FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the collecting box. -
FIG. 1 shows a detail of an allaluminum coolant radiator 1 such as is used in particular for motor vehicles. Thecoolant radiator 1 can be embodied as a downdraft radiator or a cross flow radiator—the exemplary embodiment shows a cross flow radiator with anetwork 2 and a laterally arranged collecting orcoolant box 3. Thenetwork 2 is composed of horizontally arranged flat tubes 4 between which only partially illustratedcorrugated ribs 5 are arranged. The tubes 4 havetube ends 4 a which are widened to form a rectangular cross section (not illustrated) and bear one against the other with their longitudinal sides. This design is known from DE-A 195 43 986 which is mentioned at the beginning and which is included in its entirety in the disclosure contents of this application. All the parts of thecoolant radiator 1, that is to say flat tubes 4,corrugated ribs 5 and collectingbox 3 are composed of aluminum or aluminum alloys or metal or metal alloys and are connected to one another by hard soldering. -
FIG. 2 shows a cross section through thecollecting box 3 which has a U shaped crosssectional profile 6 with two limbs 6 a, 6 b and around arc 6 c which connects the two limbs 6 a, 6 b. The open region of theU profile 6 embraces onetube end 4 a of the flat tube 4. As mentioned, theflat tube ends 4 a are widened to form a rectangular cross section, the longitudinal side 4 b of which can be seen inFIG. 2 , i.e. is in the plane of the drawing. The narrow sides, which are soldered to the inside of the limbs 6 a, 6 b, extend perpendicularly to this longitudinal side 4 b, while the longitudinal sides 4 b of adjacent tubes 4 are soldered directly to one another. TheU profile 6 has a width B and a height H, with H being greater than B, preferably a multiple of 1.75. The limbs 6 a, 6 b extend from the longitudinal sides 4 b, firstly in parallel and then increasingly assume a convergent direction which merges into theround arc 6 c. Theprofile 6 is of symmetrical design to the center line which passes through theround arc 6 c at an apex point 6 d. To this extent, the two limbs 6 a, 6 b merge with increasing curvature into theround arc 6 c, it being possible for thisround arc 6 c to be made parabolic, ellipsoidal or circular. The increase in curvature of theU profile 6 in conjunction with the relatively large height H has the effect that when internal pressure is applied, represented by arrows P, a favorable, essentially tensile stress profile is produced in the cross sections of theU profile 6, which is preferably bent out of a piece of sheet metal. As already mentioned, theU profile 6 is soldered to the tube ends 4 a by means of its limbs 6 a, 6 b, specifically by means of the solder faces 7 a, 7 b. Owing to the previously described configuration of theU profile 6, the solder faces 7 a, 7 b are very largely freed of flexural stresses since theU profile 6 can deform elastically, in particular in its upper region, i.e. in the region of theround arc 6 c. As a result, the soldered connections 7 a, 7 b are subject to less critical stressing, as a result of which fracture formation is also avoided. - The boxes and side parts form a stable frame so that the configuration in the manner of a round arc alleviates the operationally induced thermal stresses by displacing them in the direction of the tube ends.
