Patent number: 10962265Abstract: An expansion and isolation valve, specifically an electric expansion and isolation valve for operation with the coolant R744, featuring a valve body arranged in a valve body chamber, a seal seat, and a seal, which are arranged along an axial movement direction of the valve body in the expansion valve. The expansion valve is further designed such that in a closed state of the expansion valve, there is a pressure bypass to the valve body chamber, and preferentially, that a valve body diameter at the positions of the seal seat and the seal corresponds with the respective seal diameters.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Dominik Wiechard, Andreas Capelle, Markus Herzog, Matthias Herpers, Jörn Fröhling, Marco Favara

Patent number: 10254052Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for exhaust gas cooling, in particular for motor vehicles. The heat exchanger includes a flow duct which is formed from heat exchange tubes being arranged in parallel to one another, and through which the exhaust gas to be cooled can flow and around which a liquid coolant can flow, and secondly includes a housing having a housing wall and tube bottoms. The housing wall and the tube bottoms delimit a flow chamber for the coolant. The heat exchange tubes being arranged so as to form a tube bundle are formed with straight sections and deflection zones, wherein the heat exchange tubes in at least two deflection zones sweep an angle of at least 90°.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Petr Sispera, Andreas Capelle, Peter Diehl, Stojan Cucuz, Bernd Homeyer, Petr Stepka

Publication number: 20190040781Abstract: A heat exchanger is disclosed for the exhaust gas train of a motor vehicle with an exhaust gas carrying exchanger tube that is formed separately and is disposed in a closed housing formed separately, a coolant flowing through the housing and around the outer side of the exchanger tube. The housing forms at least one housing cover and one housing case, the housing case being tightly closed by the housing cover. Both ends of the exchanger tube are conducted for gas and liquid tight connection through the housing cover so that the inlet and the outlet of the exchanger tube are disposed outside of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Andreas Capelle, Oliver Fischer, Peter Diehl, Petr Sispera, Juergen Nothbaum
