  • Patent number: 11747097
    Abstract: A receiving box for a heat exchanger may include a box body delimiting at least one duct formed in the box body. The box body may include a plurality of receptacles configured to receive a plurality of tube bodies of the heat exchanger. The plurality of tube bodies may each be fluidically connected to the at least one duct. The box body may define an injection tube that extends along the at least one duct and is separated from the at least one duct via the box body. The injection tube may include at least one outlet opening fluidically connected to the at least one duct.

  • Publication number: 20230052183
    Abstract: A heat exchanger including a tube/rib block made up of tubes and ribs, the tubes forming fluid channels for conducting a first fluid, in particular a refrigerant, and the ribs arranged between the tubes forming a second fluid channel for conducting a second fluid, such as, in particular, air, which flows around the tubes, a collector being arranged at at least one end of the tube/rib block, which communicates with the fluid channels of the tubes, the at least one collector being provided with a plate-type design and including at least one base plate and a cover plate, which are stacked and soldered in a sealed manner, a spacer for spacing the base plate at a distance from the cover plate and for distributing the first fluid in the collector being provided.

  • Patent number: 10871335
    Abstract: A heat exchanger may include a first collecting tank and a second collecting tank. The first collecting tank may include a first collecting pipe having a first collecting pipe opening for letting in a fluid and a second collecting pipe having a second collecting pipe opening for discharging the fluid. The second collecting tank may be arranged opposite the first collecting tank and may include a third collecting pipe and a fourth collecting pipe. The heat exchanger may also include a plurality of heat exchanger pipes fluidically connecting the first collecting pipe to the third collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe to the fourth collecting pipe. The heat exchanger may also include a separating wall arranged in each of the first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe respectively dividing each into a first pipe section and a second pipe section.

  • Publication number: 20200200492
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiving box (2) for a heat exchanger (1) for receiving and fluidically supplying tube bodies (3) of the heat exchanger (1), wherein the receiving box (2) has a box body (9), which limits at least one duct (12), which is fluidically connected to receptacles (11), in which the tube bodies (3) are received. A simplified production and/or an increased mechanical stability of the receiving box (2) are/is attained in that the box body (9) forms an injection tube (17), which is separated from the duct (12) and which is fluidically connected to at least one of the at least one ducts (12) via an outlet opening (18). The invention further relates to a heat exchanger (1) comprising such a receiving box (2).

  • Publication number: 20190120521
    Abstract: A collecting tank of a heat exchanger may include a first collecting pipe and a second collecting pipe arranged adjacent to the first collecting pipe structured to accommodate a plurality of heat exchanger pipes. The first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe may each have a hollow space which is flowable through. The first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe may have a respective flattened bottom and a plurality of tank accommodations configured to accommodate the plurality of heat exchanger pipes disposed spaced apart from one another in the respective bottom. The respective bottom of the first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe may extend at a predetermined angle ? not equal to 180° relative to one another.
