  • Publication number: 20060016583
    Abstract: Disclosed is a condenser and especially a tube therefor which is particularly suited for use in condensers that operate at operating pressures of approximately 20 bar. The condenser is a flat-tube condenser having tubes of substantially flat cross section extending between header tubes and cooling fins supported on the flat surfaces of the tubes. The tubes have a substantially flat cross section and a plurality of flow channels disposed side by side. The flow channels are substantially circular and have a hydraulic diameter of from 1.10 mm to 1.30 mm. Tubes of flat cross section and circular flow channels disposed in series operate with a particular advantageous effect in serpentine condensers.

  • Patent number: 6938685
    Abstract: A heat exchanger (1) consists of a plurality of disks (4) which are assembled to form a heat exchanger block or disk stack (16) and which are formed in each case from sheets (22) joined together in pairs and enclose between them at least one cavity designed as a duct. The cavity is delimited by the insides of the sheets (22). In the duct, an internal fluid flows in the longitudinal direction of the disks (4) and, on the outside of the disks, an external fluid flows transversely to the direction of flow of the internal fluid. Each sheet (22) has elevations (26, 33?) out of the disk plane, which are formed by material deformation and are directed both into the inside of the disk and toward the outside of the disk, the elevations (33?) directed toward the outside of the disk being configured as elongate stamped-out portions.
