Arrangement in a heat exchanger, for example a retarder oil cooler, constructed from plates with alternating cooling water and oil ducts between them. The plates surrounding the cooling water ducts are provided with converging inward bends in the form of nipples, which are intended to keep the said plates at a distance from one another. Between the plates surrounding the oil ducts there is a so-called turbulator, which on the one hand serves to increase the surface and on the other is designed to make the flow turbulent. The arrangement is characterized in that the oil ducts situated outermost in the cooler each comprise elements designed to reduce the flow through these compared to the flow in other oil ducts. An improved thermal equilibrium is thereby achieved in the outermost ducts, which gives a reduced risk of thermal fatigue, especially in the inward bends converging in the cooling water ducts in the form of nipples. The service life of the heat exchanger is thereby prolonged. |
