  • Patent number: 8557055
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a fluxing agent for soldering components, which creates one or more specific surface characteristics during the soldering process itself, thus obviating the need for the surface treatment process that is conventionally carried out after the soldering process. To achieve this, nanoparticles are added to a base substance.

  • Patent number: 8042607
    Abstract: A conducting device, such as a corrugated fin, for a heat exchanger, has at least one surface with an increased microscopic roughness. A method increases the microscopic roughness of at least one surface of a conducting device such as a corrugated fin. A heat exchanger, such as an evaporator for an air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, has tubes through which a medium flows and between which conducting devices are arranged, the conducting devices having a further medium, such as moist air, flowing around them.

  • Publication number: 20090123730
    Abstract: The invention relates to a surface of an object, especially a heat exchanger, e.g. a lateral part, a wavy rib, or a tube of a heat exchanger, which is to be soldered by means of a flux layer (2). In order to improve the properties of the surface that is to be soldered, said surface is provided with at least one more layer (3; 13, 16) in addition to the flux layer (2). The at least one more layer (3; 13; 16) contains an additive which modifies the surface to be soldered, said additive being reacted in order to modify the surface when the surface that is to be soldered is soldered.

  • Publication number: 20080281051
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a plastic part. According to said method, a plastic mass is heated to a moulding temperature which is equal to or higher than a melting temperature. Said plastic mass can be moulded by heat from the melting temperature. Plastic mass is moulded when it has reached the moulding temperature, the temperature of the moulding part is adjusted to a conversion temperature which is dependent on the type of plastic and which is lower than the melting temperature, and the moulded part is maintained at a conversion temperature for a defined conversion time frame. The invention also relates to a device comprising a plastic part which is produced according to said inventive method.
