Heat exchanger, preferably for a motor vehicle

Abstract

A heat exchanger, preferably for a motor vehicle, containing numerous tubes with corrugated fins placed between them, and at least one collector is provided. A first medium flows through the tubes, and a second medium (M2) flows between the corrugated fins, such that heat can be exchanged between the two media (M1, M2). According to the invention, the at least one collector has at least one baffle, there is at least one reinforcement plate next to the at least one baffle, and the at least one reinforcement plate has at least one hole. There is at least one tube between the at least one baffle and the at least one reinforcement plate. The heat exchanger can be used as part of the refrigerant circuit in a motor vehicle.

1 . A heat exchanger ( 100 ), preferably for a motor vehicle, containing:
 a plurality of tubes   at least one collector   wherein corrugated fins are placed between the tubes wherein the at least one collector is connected to the plurality of tubes for fluid exchange,   wherein the at least one collector has at least one baffle, further comprising at least one reinforcement plate next to the at least one baffle, wherein the at least one reinforcement plate has at least one hole.   
     
     
         2 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein there is at least one tube between the at least one baffle and the at least one reinforcement plate. 
     
     
         3 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat exchanger has a length, wherein there is a reinforcement plate in front of and/or behind the at least one baffle along the length of the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         4 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat exchanger has at least two flow paths. 
     
     
         5 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one collector has a collector plate with passages, wherein the tubes open into the passages. 
     
     
         6 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one reinforcement plate is connected to two passages. 
     
     
         7 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein a first medium flows through the tubes and at least one collector, wherein the direction in which the first medium flows is reversed by the at least one first baffle. 
     
     
         8 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the first medium flows through the at least one hole in the at least one reinforcement plate. 
     
     
         9 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat exchanger contains at least one row of tubes. 
     
     
         10 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat exchanger contains a metallic substance. 
     
     
         11 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one baffle and at least one reinforcement plate are bonded and/or force-fit to the at least one collector. 
     
     
         12 . The heat exchanger for a refrigerant circuit or coolant circuit in a motor vehicle according to  claim 1 .
