Patent number: 9097466Abstract: A heat exchanger, particularly for charge air or exhaust gas, performs heat exchange between a first fluid and a second fluid, and includes heat exchanging guides for the first and second fluids, the guides being separated from each other in a core, the core having a plurality of flow channels through which the first fluid flows, and a housing that receives the flow channels and through which the second fluid flows. The heat exchanger also includes at least one compartment lid, which is flow-connected to the flow channels, and a base that is attached to the compartment lid and that is equipped with one or more passage openings for flow channels. The compartment lid is attached to the base via one or more connections which connections are bolted connections and/or a slotted crimping.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2009Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: MAHLE Behr GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20070199680Abstract: The invention relates to a frame part for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The frame parts should be designed so that given a simplified producibility of the frame parts, a complete compensation for expansion in the longitudinal direction as well as in the transverse direction of the frame part is nevertheless ensured. According to the invention, a frame part for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger comprises a number of tubes, which are parallel to one another, form a tube body, and are flowed through by a heat exchanging medium. The tube body is surrounded by frame parts at least on two sides that are parallel to the tubes. At least one thermal expansion element is formed at least in the frame parts that are oriented parallel to the tubes. The thickness of this thermal expansion element is at least a multiple of that of the material of the frame part where it deviates.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2005Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: Werner Helms, Roland Hemminger, Volker Kurz, Chi-Duc Nguyen, Wolfgang Reier, Michael Spieth

Patent number: 5887476Abstract: A method and a device for the draw expansion of metal tubes of oval cross-section uses expansion elements drawn unidirectionally through metal tubes by means of draw elements. The expansion elements are fastened to the draw elements by suspension devices which have a hammer-like contour. The draw elements are preferably made of a rod-shaped material. An apparatus of the invention is an apparatus for mechanically expanding metallic tubes, in particular tubes in heat exchangers. Each individual tube to be expanded is held in at least one holding device and passed through by a drawing mandrel with an expanding element. To prevent jamming of the expanding element in one of the holding devices, the holding devices are provided with lateral guides which are resiliently compliant outward in the radial direction. When the expanding element passes through the metallic tube, the tube is expanded in the radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1997Date of Patent: March 30, 1999Assignee: BEHR GmbH & Co.Inventors: Herbert Damsohn, Werner Helms, Roland Hemminger, Walter Wolf

Patent number: 5706695Abstract: The fin for a heat exchanger which consists essentially of a matrix of tubes and of fins disposed transversely to the latter, the fin having pass-through elements to receive tubes which are to be joined mechanically, while a first, preferably liquid medium flows through the tubes and the fin is acted on by a second, preferably gaseous medium. Multiple fins are positioned in their fin pitch by integral spacers, wherein the spacers are in the form of noses stamped out of the pass-through elements and distributed over the periphery of the latter.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1996Date of Patent: January 13, 1998Assignee: Behr GmbH & Co.Inventors: Werner Helms, Roland Hemminger

Patent number: 5669440Abstract: A heat exchanger, produced by the insertion of welded pipes into a rib pack, has a good connection between the rib pack and the pipes after expansion of the pipes. An optimal contact of the pipes against the passages in the cooling fins of the rib pack is achieved because the weld base of the welded pipe lies in a recess. The recess is formed by reduction of the wall thickness of a strip material from which the welded pipe is produced.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1995Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: BEHR GmbH & Co.Inventors: Dieter Bauer, Ralf Bochert, Herbert Damsohn, Werner Helms, Roland Hemminger, Herbert Hunzelmann, Volker Kurz, Roland Schirrmacher, Walter Wolf
