  • Patent number: 7712788
    Abstract: A connecting assembly for coolant lines, in particular for motor vehicle air conditioning systems which are operated with CO2, from a first coupling element that can be connected to a first line end piece, and a further air conditioning circuit component. The first coupling element and the air conditioning circuit component are joined by a screw so that the first line end piece and the air conditioning circuit component are connected to one another by means of one bore each and radially extending sealing faces. A sealing ring is arranged between the faces. A space holder is arranged between the first coupling element and the further air conditioning circuit component. The first line end piece has a radially extending sealing face which is produced by plastic deformation of the line end piece without removing material. The first coupling element has an annular collar which presses the sealing face onto the sealing ring in the mounted state.

  • Patent number: 6893052
    Abstract: A connecting arrangement for coolant lines includes a first coupling piece, connected seal-tight to a first line endpiece, and a second coupling piece, connected seal-tight to a second line endpiece. The coupling pieces each have radially extending sealing surfaces on the side facing toward the other coupling piece. A sealing ring is mounted between the sealing surfaces. The coupling pieces are joined to each other via a screw arranged laterally offset from the sealing surfaces so the line endpieces connect to each other via respective bores in the coupling pieces. A form body between the coupling pieces arranged at a spacing from the screw on the side facing away from the sealing surfaces is configured so a lever action occurs when the coupling pieces are joined to each other leading to a uniform pressing together of the sealing ring between the sealing surfaces of the coupling pieces.

  • Publication number: 20040155456
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting arrangement (1) for coolant lines (2) and especially for motor vehicle climate control systems operated with CO2. The connecting arrangement (1) includes a first coupling piece (4) connected seal-tight to a first line endpiece (3) and a second coupling piece (6) connected seal-tight to a second line endpiece (5). Both coupling pieces (4, 6) are joined to each other via an attachment device in such a manner that the line endpieces (3, 5) are connected to each other via respective bores (16) in the coupling pieces (4, 6). For this purpose, the two coupling pieces (4, 6) each have a radially extending sealing surface (8, 9) on the side facing toward the other coupling piece (6, 4). A sealing ring (10) is mounted between the sealing surfaces (8, 9). Only a single screw (11) is provided as attachment device and is arranged laterally offset from the sealing surfaces (8, 9).
