  • Publication number: 20170038150
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger which is brazed in a brazing furnace, comprising stacked heat exchanger parts which provide first channels and second channels, and with at least two brazing materials, the one brazing material in the first channels being different than the other brazing material in the second channels. According to one alternative, said heat exchanger is improved by virtue of the fact that there is the other or the one brazing material in one or in a few of the first channels or the second channels or in one or in a few of the first and the second channels, or the other and the one brazing material are present arranged in part regions.

  • Patent number: 7740058
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger, composed of trough-shaped heat exchanger plates which are stacked one in the other and whose edges bear against one another. The plates can have flow ducts, located between the heat exchanger plates for a cooling fluid and for another fluid. The flow ducts are fitted with inserts in the form of turbulator plates. The heat exchanger can include at least four inlet and outlet openings in the corners of the heat exchanger plates which form two vertical ducts for the cooling fluid and two vertical ducts for the other fluid in the stack. The inserts in the flow ducts for the cooling fluid are embodied in one part or a plurality of parts. The flow ducts for the cooling fluid are equipped, in the regions around the openings, with plate-like inserts which have guide ducts with a width, and are provided with the turbulator plate in a central region between the plate-like inserts.
