  • Patent number: 10345053
    Abstract: A heat exchanger, such as a water cooled charge air cooler, is disclosed for cooling of charge air with the aid of coolant. In at least one embodiment, the heat exchanger includes charge air tubes and coolant turbulators made of corrugated sheet metal interposed between the air tubes. The turbulators define coolant channels and including at least one turbulating device provided therein. According to at least one embodiment of the invention, at least one channel includes at least one continuously shaped side wall which is non-apertured along its entire length and thus promotes coolant flow along the channel by inhibiting cross flow of coolant to a neighbouring channel.

  • Patent number: 9157686
    Abstract: The invention concerns a heat exchanger and a method of producing thereof. The heat exchanger comprises a coolant housing with two opposing wide side walls and two header plates of an inlet air tank and an outlet air tank, respectively. The header plates are channel-shaped with longitudinal flanges extending over and being brazed to the wide side walls. Tubes extend in parallel through said housing between the two header plates, said tubes being brazed to apertures in said header plates. The coolant housing has two opposing narrow side walls tightly fitting said wide side walls and said header plates and defining together with these wide side walls and header plates a first coolant tank and a second coolant tank opposing the first one. Each air tank comprises a cowling tightly fitting and being brazed to one of said header plates each and having an air inlet and an air outlet, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9016357
    Abstract: The invention concerns a header plate, preferably for a heat exchanger, such as water cooled charge air cooler (WCCAC), comprising a coolant housing having two opposing walls made up from two header plates (11, 12), which are made of sheet metal of a defined thickness (t). The header plates (11, 12) form parts of air tanks and are passed by air tubes extending through said coolant housing from one of said header plates (11, 12) to the other. The header plates (11, 12) have stamped apertures (15), in which said air tubes are inserted and tightly connected to the header plate sheet metal. The apertures (15) have peripheral rims (22), which protrude on one side of the header plate (11, 12) in question and give an extra support to the air tubes inserted in the apertures (15) of said header plate (11, 12). The distance (da) between adjacent apertures (15) and thus the distance (dt) between adjacent air tubes is less than two times the thickness (t) of the header plate sheet metal.
