Double-tube radiator
First Claim
1. A pipe cooler comprising at least one double pipe which has inner and outer pipes arranged concentrically one inside the other with distributor members interconnecting the inner and outer pipes at their ends, each distributor member including a neck having a feed channel which extends perpendicularly to the axis of the pipes and through which fluid to be cooled flows, each distributor member being attached in tightly sealed manner by cylindrical connecting zones adapted to fit coaxially to the ends of the inner and outer pipes which form the double pipe, each distributor member having a chamber communicating with the feed channel disposed between the cylindrical connecting zones for the pipes,said chamber being part of a bore which extends coaxially relative to the axis of the pipes and which provides, on one side of the feed channel, a connecting zone for the inner pipe, and a connecting zone for the outer pipe which includes a cylindrical portion concentric with said inner and outer pipes having a diameter which is less than the internal diameter of the outer pipe but greater than the external diameter of the inner pipe,said cylindrical connecting zone for the outer pipe being an externally disposed part of the distributor member surrounding the bore,said cylindrical connecting zones for the pipes including annular grooves for receiving sealing rings.

Abstract
A double-tube radiator composed of at least one double tube, preferably of aluminum, the tube being composed of two tubes arranged concentrically, one inside the other, with distributor stubs disposed at their end areas. Each of the stubs have a neck with a supply channel running perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the tubes, through which neck the oil or the like to be cooled is fed to or removed from the double tube. Provision is made for the distributor stubs to be designed as a sealing plug with cylindrical connecting areas mountable coaxially to the ends of the inner and outer tubes forming the double tube, said plug being provided with a chamber communicating with the supply channel, said chamber being located between the connecting areas for the tubes. The distributor stubs in the form of sealing plugs are drawn over the end areas of the double tube and held there securely, without welding of the inner and outer tubes forming the double tube, or soldering or welding of the distributor stub itself to the outer tube for securing it axially, so that aluminum tubing can be used for the double tube, for example, permitting a high degree of heat-exchanger efficiency to be achieved.

said chamber being part of a bore which extends coaxially relative to the axis of the pipes and which provides, on one side of the feed channel, a connecting zone for the inner pipe, and a connecting zone for the outer pipe which includes a cylindrical portion concentric with said inner and outer pipes having a diameter which is less than the internal diameter of the outer pipe but greater than the external diameter of the inner pipe, said cylindrical connecting zone for the outer pipe being an externally disposed part of the distributor member surrounding the bore, said cylindrical connecting zones for the pipes including annular grooves for receiving sealing rings.
