Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Kühleinrichtung in einem Fahrzeug nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a cooling device in a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Wirkungsgrad in Kraftfahrzeugen zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the efficiency in motor vehicles.
Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen der Ansprüche 1 und 2 gelöst. Die Unteransprüche geben zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen an.This object is achieved with the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Kühleinrichtung wird z. B. als Kühler für Brennkraftmaschinen, insbesondere als Fahrzeugkühler in Kraftfahrzeugen eingesetzt und dient zur Kühlung eines oder mehrerer Aggregate bzw. Nebenaggregate im Fahrzeug, beispielsweise zur Kühlung einer Brennkraftmaschine, zur Getriebekühlung oder zur Temperierung des Fahrzeuginnenraums. In den Fahrzeugkühler ist ein Spannungserzeugungsbauteil integriert, das als thermoelektrischer Generator ausgeführt ist, welcher auf dem Seebeck-Effekt beruhend bei einer anliegenden Temperaturdifferenz eine elektrische Spannung erzeugt. Das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil ist Bestandteil des Fahrzeugkühlers, was zum einen den Vorteil bietet, dass der Fahrzeugkühler als modulare Einheit mitsamt dem Spannungserzeugungsbauteil vorgefertigt in das Fahrzeug eingebaut werden kann. Zum andern kann auf diese Weise über den Seebeck-Effekt eine elektrische Spannung unabhängig von der Wärmequelle im Fahrzeug generiert werden, da der Fahrzeugkühler zur Kühlung verschiedenartiger Aggregate bzw. Nebenaggregate im Fahrzeug einsetzbar ist. Eine unmittelbare Anordnung des Spannungserzeugungsbauteils an dem Wärme generierenden Aggregat ist somit nicht erforderlich.The cooling device according to the invention is z. B. used as a cooler for internal combustion engines, in particular as a vehicle radiator in motor vehicles and is used to cool one or more units or ancillaries in the vehicle, for example, for cooling an internal combustion engine, for transmission cooling or for temperature control of the vehicle interior. In the vehicle radiator, a voltage generating component is integrated, which is designed as a thermoelectric generator, which generates based on the Seebeck effect with an applied temperature difference, an electrical voltage. The voltage generating component is part of the vehicle radiator, which on the one hand offers the advantage that the vehicle radiator can be installed as a modular unit together with the voltage generating component prefabricated in the vehicle. On the other hand, an electrical voltage can be generated independently of the heat source in the vehicle in this way on the Seebeck effect, since the vehicle radiator can be used to cool various types of aggregates or ancillaries in the vehicle. An immediate arrangement of the voltage generating component on the heat generating unit is therefore not required.
Die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen dem Kühlstrom des Fahrzeugkühlers, der die Wärme des Aggregats bzw. Nebenaggregats des Fahrzeugs ableitet, und dem umgebenden Medium, insbesondere der Umgebungsluft, an die die Wärme abgegeben wird, wird für die Erzeugung des Seebeck-Effekts herangezogen. Das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil, welches als thermoelektrischer Generator fungiert, ist an einer Kühllamelle des Fahrzeugkühlers angeordnet und bildet mit diesem eine gemeinsame Baueinheit. Die Kühllamelle weist eine große Oberfläche auf und sorgt dadurch für eine bessere Wärmeabgabe vom Kühlstrom an die Umgebung. Das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil liegt vorzugsweise zwischen dem Kühlstrom bzw. einer Kühlstromleitung und der Kühllamelle, so dass die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen dem Kühlstrom und dem umgebenden Medium in optimaler Weise auch in dem Spannungserzeugungsbauteil wirksam ist, welches dadurch auch einen bestmöglichen Wirkungsgrad entfalten kann.The temperature difference between the cooling flow of the vehicle radiator, which dissipates the heat of the aggregate of the vehicle, and the surrounding medium, in particular the ambient air, to which the heat is released, is used for the generation of the Seebeck effect. The voltage generating component, which functions as a thermoelectric generator, is arranged on a cooling lamella of the vehicle radiator and forms with this a common structural unit. The cooling fin has a large surface area and thus provides better heat transfer from the cooling flow to the environment. The voltage generating component is preferably located between the cooling flow and a cooling flow line and the cooling fin, so that the temperature difference between the cooling flow and the surrounding medium is optimally effective also in the voltage generating component, which can thereby also develop the best possible efficiency.
Die in dem Spannungserzeugungsbauteil generierte Spannung wird vorzugsweise in eine Batterie im Fahrzeug eingespeist, wobei grundsätzlich auch ein unmittelbarer Betrieb einer elektrischen Komponente im Fahrzeug in Betracht kommt, beispielsweise ein Wärme generierendes Bauteil, welches auf dem Peltiereffekt basiert und das beispielsweise zur Temperierung temperaturkritischer Komponenten im Fahrzeug oder zur Temperierung des Fahrzeuginnenraums herangezogen werden kann.The voltage generated in the voltage generating component voltage is preferably fed into a battery in the vehicle, in principle, a direct operation of an electrical component in the vehicle comes into consideration, for example, a heat-generating component, which is based on the Peltier effect and for example for temperature control of temperature-critical components in the vehicle or can be used for temperature control of the vehicle interior.
Das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil und zumindest eine Kühllamelle im Fahrzeugkühler bilden in einer ersten erfindungsgemäßen Alternative eine gemeinsame Baueinheit. Erfindungsgemäß ist dabei vorgesehen, die Kühllamelle und das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil jeweils als separate Einzelbauteile zu fertigen, die miteinander verbunden werden; in diesem Fall befindet sich das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil zweckmäßigerweise an der Außenwand der Kühllamelle. Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil als Laminat bzw. Folie ausgeführt, das bzw. die auf die Außenseite der Kühllamelle aufgebracht wird. Das Laminat bzw. die Folie kann großflächig auf die Kühllamelle aufgebracht werden, so dass die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen Kühlstrom und Kühllamelle in entsprechender Weise großflächig ausgenutzt werden kann.The voltage generating component and at least one cooling fin in the vehicle radiator form a common structural unit in a first alternative according to the invention. According to the invention, it is provided to manufacture the cooling fin and the voltage generating component in each case as separate individual components, which are connected to one another; In this case, the voltage generating component is expediently located on the outer wall of the cooling fin. In this case, according to the invention, the voltage generating component is designed as a laminate or foil which is applied to the outside of the cooling lamella. The laminate or the film can be applied over a large area on the cooling fin, so that the temperature difference between the cooling flow and the cooling fin can be utilized in a corresponding manner over a large area.
Gemäß einer alternativen erfindungsgemäßen Alternative ist eine Vereinigung von Spannungserzeugungsbauteil und Kühllamelle zu einem gemeinsamen Bauteil vorgesehen; in diesem Fall ist das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil einstückig mit der Kühllamelle ausgeführt, beispielsweise dergestalt, dass die Wandung der Kühllamelle als Spannungserzeugungsbauteil ausgebildet ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist dabei die Kühllamelle dreilagig aufgebaut, wobei die beiden äußeren Lagen aus einem Leichtmetall und die innere Lage aus einem thermoelektrischen Material bestehen. Die äußeren Lagen bilden im elektrischen Sinne die Masse bzw. den Minuspol, wohingegen die innere, thermoelektrische Lage das Potenzial bzw. den Pluspol bildet, dessen Spannung abgegriffen und entweder der Batterie zugeführt oder zum Betrieb einer Fahrzeugkomponente genutzt werden kann.According to an alternative alternative according to the invention, an association of voltage generating component and cooling plate is provided to a common component; In this case, the voltage generating component is integral with the Running cooling plate, for example, such that the wall of the cooling fin is formed as a voltage generating component. According to the invention, the cooling plate is constructed in three layers, wherein the two outer layers of a light metal and the inner layer of a thermoelectric material. The outer layers form the mass or the negative pole in the electrical sense, whereas the inner, thermoelectric layer forms the potential or the positive pole, whose voltage can be picked up and either supplied to the battery or used to operate a vehicle component.
Der dreilagige Aufbau der Kühllamelle weist zudem den Vorteil auf, dass die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen jeder der beiden äußeren Lagen und der inneren Lage für die Erzeugung einer Spannung ausgenutzt werden kann, so dass die Temperaturdifferenz in entgegengesetzte Richtungen wirksam wird. Dies kommt insbesondere bei Ausführungen in Betracht, bei denen eine Kühllamelle zwischen zwei Kühlströmen bzw. Kühlstromleitungen angeordnet ist, so dass an beiden Außenseiten der Kühllamelle höhere Temperaturen und an der Innenseite eine niedrigere Temperatur herrscht. Dieser Temperaturgradient ist bezogen auf das Spannungserzeugungsbauteil in beide Richtungen wirksam, wodurch der Wirkungsgrad weiter verbessert wird.The three-layer structure of the cooling fin also has the advantage that the temperature difference between each of the two outer layers and the inner layer can be utilized for the generation of a voltage, so that the temperature difference in opposite directions is effective. This is particularly suitable for embodiments in which a cooling fin is arranged between two cooling flows or cooling flow conduits, so that higher temperatures prevail on both outer sides of the cooling fin and a lower temperature on the inner side. This temperature gradient is effective in both directions with respect to the voltage generating device, thereby further improving the efficiency.
