Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger with at least two plate-shaped flow ducts which are in parallel to one another and at a distance from one another and have a flow connection through at least one connecting duct (8) which spans the distance. It is proposed that the at least one connecting duct (8) be formed by two self-centering tube connectors (4, 6) which can be plugged one into the other.
Claims9
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a first plate-shaped flow duct and a second plate-shaped flow duct which are arranged parallel to each other with a spacing between the first and second plate-shaped flow ducts,
- wherein the first plate-shaped flow duct comprises a first pipe socket and the second plate-shaped flow duct comprises a second pipe socket,
- wherein the first and second pipe sockets form a connecting duct by plugging into each other, the first and second pipe sockets being self-centering,
- wherein the connecting duct flow-connects the first plate-shaped flow duct and the second plate-shaped flow duct and bridges the spacing,
- wherein the first and second pipe sockets each comprise a cylindrical base region and a conical end region,
- wherein the first and second plate-shaped flow ducts are formed by a first plate and a second plate, respectively, and
- wherein the first and second plates form annular ducts with a square outline.
