Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1), in particular an air-cooled air cooler consisting of a block (2) with first (7) and second (9) flow channels, arranged in a cross-flow configuration, for a first gaseous medium that is to be cooled and a second cooling gaseous medium. According to the invention, the first flow channels (7) are connected on the inlet and outlet side to collection contairers (4) mounted on the block (2) and fms (10) are located in the second flow channels (9).
Claims14
A heat exchanger, in particular an air-cooled air cooler, comprising a block (2) with first and second flow passages (7, 9), which are in a cross-current arrangement with respect to one another, for a first gaseous medium, which is to be cooled, and a second gaseous medium, which is the cooling medium, the first flow passages (7) being connected on the inlet and outlet side to manifolds (3, 4) fitted onto the block (2), and fins (10) being arranged in the second flow passages (9), characterized in that heat transfer means which have a lower heat transfer capacity in the inlet region (7a) than in the adjoining region are arranged in the first flow passages (7).
