  • Patent number: 7784302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a soldered refrigerant condenser that consists of a heat exchange network with flat pipes and corrugated ribs, of collector pipes that fluidically communicate with the flat pipes, and of a collector (10) that is arranged in parallel to one of the collector pipes. Said collector accommodates a dryer and/or a filter (31) and fluidically communicates with the collector pipe via two overflow openings (13, 14). The dryer is configured by a chamber containing a drying agent (28) and limited by a section (18) of the collector (10, 11) and two endplates (23, 24) that extend through the cross-section of the collector (10, 11).

  • Patent number: 7059398
    Abstract: The invention relates to a soldered heat exchanger, especially a capacitor for a motor vehicle ventilation system, comprising a heat exchanger network made of tubes and ribs and at least one collector pipe made of a base (2) and a cover (3) and separating walls (8), whereby the base (2) and the cover (3) have edges (4, 5, 6, 7) which overlap on the longitudinal sides thereof. The base (2) receives the ends of the tubes and the separating walls (8) are fixed in relation to the cover (3) by means of a first and second shoulder (8b, 8c and a lug (8a). According to the invention, groove-shaped recesses (3b, 3c) are arranged in the edges (6, 7) of the cover (3) in the region of the separating walls (8), wherein the shoulders (8b, 8c) of the separating walls (8) engage. A secure positioning of the separating walls in the collector pipe is obtained in addition to a leakage-free soldering of the capacitor.
