Abstract

The invention relates to a tube register (RR) for a heat exchanger (WT), in particular a heating element or cooling element, through which a heat transfer fluid may flow, and which has two distributor lines ( 1, 2 ), between which a plurality of connecting tubes ( 3 ) extend which fluidically connect the first distributor line, also referred to as the supply distributor ( 1 ), to the second distributor line, also referred to as the return distributor ( 2 ), the tube register having a linear supply distributor ( 1 ) and a linear return distributor ( 2 ) running in parallel thereto, between which a plurality of connecting tubes ( 3 ), situated in a plane, extend, the first ends ( 3 a ) of the connecting tubes ( 3 ) in each case being fluidically connected to the supply distributor ( 1 ), and the second ends ( 3 b ) of the connecting tubes ( 3 ) in each case being fluidically connected to the return distributor ( 2 ), characterized in that the connecting sites (P 1 ) between the supply distributor ( 1 ) and the connecting tubes ( 3 ) are situated eccentrically, relative to the center axis (M 1 ) of the supply distributor ( 1 ), on the supply distributor ( 1 ), and the connecting sites (P 2 ) between the return distributor ( 2 ) and the connecting tubes ( 3 ) are situated eccentrically, relative to the center axis (M 2 ) of the return distributor ( 2 ), on the return distributor ( 2 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A tube register (RR) for a heat exchanger (WT), the tube register comprising:
 a heating element or cooling element, through which a heat transfer fluid may flow, and which has two distributor lines ( 1 ,  2 ), said first distributor line being a supply distributor and said second line being a return distributor: and   a plurality of connecting tubes ( 3 ) extending between said supply distributor and said return distributor which fluidically connect said supply distributor to said return distributor:   wherein said supply distributor ( 1 ) is linear, and said return distributor ( 2 ) is linear and in parallel with said supply distributor; and   wherein said plurality of connecting tubes ( 3 ), are situated in a plane, extending between said supply distributor ( 1 ), and said return distributor ( 2 ), whereby the connecting sites (P 1 ) between the supply distributor ( 1 ) and the connecting tubes ( 3 ) are situated eccentrically, relative to the center axis (M 1 ) of the supply distributor ( 1 ), on the supply distributor ( 1 ), and the connecting sites (P 2 ) between the return distributor ( 2 ) and the connecting tubes ( 3 ) are situated eccentrically, relative to the center axis (M 2 ) of the return distributor ( 2 ), on the return distributor ( 2 ).   
     
     
         2 . The tube register according to  claim 1 , wherein said tube register is made of at least one polymer material. 
     
     
         3 . The tube register according to  claim 2 , wherein said supply distributor ( 1 ) and the return distributor ( 2 ) are made of a first polymer material, and the connecting tubes ( 3 ) are made of a second polymer material. 
     
     
         4 . The tube register according to  claim 2 , wherein said supply distributor ( 1 ) , said return distributor ( 2 ), and said connecting tubes ( 3 ) are made of the same polymer material. 
     
     
         5 . The tube register according to  claim 2  wherein said supply distributor ( 1 ) and said return distributor ( 2 ) and said connecting tubes ( 3 ) are tubes that are manufactured by extrusion, and welded or glued to one another at the connecting sites (P 1 , P 2 ). 
     
     
         6 . A heat exchanger (WT) comprising: two or more adjacently situated tube registers (RR 1 , RR 2 , . . . , RRn) according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         7 . The heat exchanger (WT) according to  claim 6 , wherein said adjacently situated fluid inlets of the adjacently situated supply distributors ( 1 ) are fluidically connected to one another by means of a supply collection member (S 1 ), which establishes a fluid connection to the supply line connection (Al) of the heat exchanger (WT), and the adjacently situated fluid outlets of the adjacently situated return distributors ( 2 ) are fluidicaily connected to one another by means of a return collection member (S 2 ), Which establishes a fluid connection to the return line connection (A 2 ) of the heat exchanger (WT). 
     
     
         8 . The heat exchanger (WT) according to  claim 7 , wherein said supply collection member (S 1 ) and the return collection member (S 2 ) are made of a polymer material, and are preferably manufactured by injection molding. 
     
     
         9 . The heat exchanger (WT) according to  claim 8 , wherein said supply distributors ( 1 ) are glued or welded to the supply collection member (S 1 ) in the area of their fluid connection to same, and the return distributors ( 2 ) are glued or welded to the return collection member (S 2 ) in the area of their fluid connection to same. 
     
     
         10 . The heat exchanger (WT) according to  claim 6 , further comprising a plate-like cover element ( 11  or  12 ), said cover element is made of a metal mesh and/or a metal sheet, at least on one of its large surfaces i.e., on its front surface ( 5 ) and/or on its rear surface ( 6 ). 
     
     
         11 . The tube register according  claim 4  wherein said supply distributor ( 1 ) and said return distributor ( 2 ) and said connecting tubes ( 3 ) are tubes that are manufactured by extrusion, and welded or glued to one another at the connecting sites (P 1 , P 2 ). 
     
     
         12 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 6 , wherein at least one tube register of the heat exchanger is made of at least one polymer material. 
     
     
         13 . The tube register according to  claim 6 , wherein at least one supply distributor ( 1 ) and at least one return distributor ( 2 ) are made of a first polymer material, and at least one connecting tubes ( 3 ) is made of a second polymer material.
