Plate-fin structure exhaust gas recirculation cooler with heat-insulation function
The present invention discloses a plate-fin structure EGR cooler with heat-insulation function includes shell. The two ends of the shell are equipped with an air inlet flange and a discharge chamber. A water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe are set on the shell near the air inlet flange and the discharge chamber. A cooling core assembly, an air chamber and a bellow are set in the shell. The main board at one end of the cooling core assembly is connected to the shell and the discharge chamber and the main board at another end is connected to one end of the air chamber. The other end of the air chamber is connected to one end of the bellow. The other end of the bellow is connected to the shell and the air inlet flange. A heat-insulating pipe connected to the air inlet flange is set within the bellow. Since the main board at the other side of the cooling core assembly is flexibly connected to the shell via the air chamber and the bellow, the axial deformation generated in the flat pipe unit can be transferred to and absorbed by the bellow through the air chamber and thus the axial heat stress generated from the heat deformation of the flat pipe unit is eliminated.
