Each heat exchanger includes two collector pipes which are arranged at a distance from each other. One collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to one collector pipe of the second heat exchanger. Also, the other collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to the other collector pipe of the second heat exchanger. One and/or the transversal sections of the covering wall of the collector pipe does not have a circular shape, the sections being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a collector pipe of the first heat exchanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2004Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Manuel Alcaine, Klaus Hassdenteufel, Markus Hoglinger, Wolfgang Reier, Rainer Ruoff, Michael Spieth

Publication number: 20070256819Abstract: The invention relates to a metal side-plate for a radiator, in particular a tubular radiator, such as those found in motor vehicles with combustion engines. According to the invention, the metal side-plate (20) is secured to securing points (13) on both sides of the collecting tubes (12) and a longitudinal slot (21) is introduced into the metal side-plate on at least one side in the region of the fixing. The fixing points (13) on the metal side-plates (20) are embodied on collecting tubes (12) on one side of the longitudinal slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2005Publication date: November 8, 2007Applicant: Behr GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20070199680Abstract: The invention relates to a frame part for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The frame parts should be designed so that given a simplified producibility of the frame parts, a complete compensation for expansion in the longitudinal direction as well as in the transverse direction of the frame part is nevertheless ensured. According to the invention, a frame part for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger comprises a number of tubes, which are parallel to one another, form a tube body, and are flowed through by a heat exchanging medium. The tube body is surrounded by frame parts at least on two sides that are parallel to the tubes. At least one thermal expansion element is formed at least in the frame parts that are oriented parallel to the tubes. The thickness of this thermal expansion element is at least a multiple of that of the material of the frame part where it deviates.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2005Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: Werner Helms, Roland Hemminger, Volker Kurz, Chi-Duc Nguyen, Wolfgang Reier, Michael Spieth

Patent number: 6343485Abstract: A cooling apparatus is disclosed which includes a housing and a plurality of chambers which are arranged therein, sealed tightly and filled with a storage medium. The chambers have a substantially flat cross section and are arranged in at least one group. Passages extend between the chambers. The chambers of a group are combined to form a block, and at least one passage is provided between each pair of adjacent chambers. Each of the passages is connected to distribution and collection chambers formed in the housing, in the area of the distribution and collection chambers, with at least one feed port and a return port.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1999Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Assignee: Behr GmbH & Co.Inventors: Gottfried Duerr, Guenther Feuerecker, Karl Fulterer, Hans-Dieter Hinderberger, Dietrich Klingler, Kurt Molt, Juergen Otto, Wolfgang Reier, Ulrich Salzer, Dieter Schmadl, Markus Schmid, Werner Schwahn, Luay Ghussein, Werner Rauland
