Abstract

Bei einem Wärmeübertrager zum Kühlen von Abgas, die außen mit einem flüssigen Kühlmedium umströmt sind, ist als Kanäle für das Abgas ein Bündel von Rechteckrohren (10) vorgesehen, deren Enden in Rohrböden (11) eingeschweißt sind. Das Bündel von Rechteckrohren (10) ist mit einem Blechmantel (12) umgeben, der der Kontur des Bündels folgt und der mit einem Kühlmediumeintritt und einem Kühlmediumaustritt versehen ist. Die Enden des Blechmantels sind mit angeschweißten Flanschblechen (15) versehen, die jeweils mittels einer zentralen Öffnung (18) zu dem Bündel von Rechteckrohren offen sind und die mit Befestigungsmitteln (19) zum Befestigen an Rohrstücken einer Abgasleitung versehen sind.

Figure 00000001
In a heat exchanger for cooling exhaust gas, around which a liquid cooling medium flows around the outside, a bundle of rectangular tubes (10) is provided as channels for the exhaust gas, the ends of which are welded into tube sheets (11). The bundle of rectangular tubes (10) is surrounded by a sheet metal jacket (12) which follows the contour of the bundle and which is provided with a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet. The ends of the sheet metal jacket are provided with welded-on flange sheets (15) which are each open to the bundle of rectangular pipes by means of a central opening (18) and which are provided with fastening means (19) for fastening to pipe sections of an exhaust pipe.
