  • Publication number: 20110120678
    Abstract: A heat exchanger grid includes a stack including and arranged between end plates and further includes dividing plates and spacers arranged between the end plates to form sealed chambers for at least two heat exchange media. The end plates include one or both of inlet and outlet openings for the at least two media. The dividing plates including first passages aligned with the one or both of the inlet and outlet openings. The first passages are delimited by circumferentially enclosed edges and form collecting channels for the at least two media. The spacers include frames which are delimited circumferentially by rails and which spacers include second and third passages which are aligned at least partly with respect to the one or both of the inlet and outlet openings.

  • Patent number: 5299633
    Abstract: A heat exchanger device for refrigeration driers in compressed-air installations is described. Such heat exchanger devices have an air/air heat exchanger (1) and a refrigerant/air heat exchanger (2). According to the invention, the air/air heat exchanger is produced as a plate heat exchanger and the refrigerant/air heat exchanger is produced as a combined tube/plate heat exchanger. The tube/plate heat exchanger has at least one unit containing a tube coil being coiled in a meandering manner and forming two spaced broad sides, and two plates, each plate being fastened at one of the two broad sides (FIG. 1 ).

  • Patent number: 5101561
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat exchanger assembled of a plurality of oval heat exchanging pipes whose end portions are mounted in a leakage proof manner in oval openings of top and bottom plates. The ratio of maximum and minimum diameters of intermediate portions of the pipes if 2.5:1 through 8:1 whereas the ratio of the maximum and minimum diameters of the oval openings in the end plates is 1.2:1 through 3:1. A method of mounting the pipe end portions in the oval openings is based on a preliminary shaping of the end portions by the application of pressure from the outside toward the center axis of the end portions in the direction of their maximum diameter. The preshaped end portions are inserted into sealing collars surrounding the edges of respective plate openings. Thereafter the end portions are expanded by means of mandrels to sealingly close the openings.

  • Patent number: 5092397
    Abstract: A heat conducting fin for a heat exchanger is provided with an array of deep drawn collars defining passages with flattened, oval cross-sections for receiving heat exchanging pipes of a corresponding cross-section. In order to prevent the formation of cracks in the collars particularly when a large ratio of the maximum diameter to the minimum diameter of the oval collar involves very small radii of curvatures, the height of the collar in the region of its small radius of curvature is less than in the region of its large radius of curvature. The invention also relates to a heat exchanger including a stack of such fins and a series of heat exchanging pipes passing through the passages in the collars and being attached to the inner walls of the collars by expanding corresponding pipe portions.
