Abstract: A heat exchanger, in particular exhaust-gas cooler, is described herein. The heat exchanger includes tubes of unipartite form or formed from two plates. The tubes form a first and a second fluid duct, and the respective fluid ducts are arranged adjacent to one another. The first fluid duct is designed to be open at at least one of its ends for the inflow and/or outflow of a first fluid. The second fluid ducts are closed at an end side of the tubes by way of an inward or outward step. The step has a greater extent T in the tube longitudinal direction in the corner regions of the tube than between the corner regions. Several non-limiting descriptive embodiments are disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method for producing a heat exchange tube having an inner turbulence insert for a heat exchanger may include providing an austenitic heat exchange tube and the turbulence insert. The method may also include inserting the turbulence insert into the austenitic heat exchange tube, brazing the turbulence insert and the austenitic heat exchange tube via induction brazing, and pressing the austenitic heat exchange tube onto the turbulence insert at least one of during the brazing and after the brazing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular exhaust-gas cooler or charge-air cooler, comprising a plate stack composed of multiple elongate plate pairs, wherein in each case two interconnected plates form a first fluid duct between them, and a second fluid duct is formed between two plate pairs, wherein the plates of a plate pair are of U-shaped form with a bottom and upturned side walls and lie against one another so as to delimit the first flow duct, wherein one of the plates of a plate pair has, on its end side, a tab which serves for beading over around the end side of the other plate, wherein the tab on the bottom of the plate is beaded over, and the beading-over of the tab also continues into the side walls of the plates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a block of first and second flow channels arranged adjacently to one another, said block being designed to be open at one inflow side and at one outflow side of the first flow channels for the inflow and outflow of a first fluid into or out of said first flow channels, and the second flow channels comprising openings for the inflow and outflow of a second fluid, said block consisting of a first element and a second element, each of these forming second flow channels and a side wall, and these elements being joined together such that the two side walls form block side walls which lie opposite one another, said second flow channels extending between these side walls and forming first flow channels between themselves and the side walls.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger having a tube bundle with tubes as heat exchanger matrix, it being possible for the tubes to be flowed through by a first fluid and in this way defining a first fluid channel, and to be flowed around by a second fluid and in this way defining a second fluid channel, the tube bundle being configured so as to be closed off toward the outside, in order to close off the second fluid channel, or being arranged in a housing, in order to close off the second fluid channel, the tubes being configured so as to be open on the end side for the inflow or outflow of the first fluid.

Abstract: A heat exchanger, in particular an exhaust gas cooler or charge air cooler, is provided that includes a plate stack which has a plurality of elongated plate pairs, each set of two interconnected plates forming a respective second fluid channel between themselves, and a first fluid channel being formed between two plate pairs, a first fluid channel being surrounded by two second fluid channels, each second fluid channel being connected to at least one manifold.
