Abstract:
A heat exchanger that includes a collecting tank having a collecting tank edge, a tube plate including a tube plate edge, and a seal arrangement with a seal between the collecting tank and tube plate. The heat exchanger further includes a seal support frame, and the seal is arranged on the seal support frame and the seal is inlaid together with the seal support frame between the tube plate edge and the collecting tank edge.
Abstract:
A quick-action closure coupling for connecting a supply or discharge line to a wall of a collecting tank of a heat exchanger. The coupling can include a first coupling part and a second coupling part dimensioned to mate together. At least one sealing ring can be positioned between the first and second coupling parts. A latch can be provided in order to lock the coupling parts together. In order to simplify the quick-action closure coupling, the terminal end of the one coupling part can have a mitered cutout into which is received a portion of the other coupling part.
Abstract:
A plate heat exchanger for cooling a first fluid by a second fluid, including a plurality of stacked heat exchanger plates forming separate flow channels therebetween with a cover plate on one side and a base plate on the other side of the stacked plates. The plates have a plurality of aligned openings defining inlet and outlet channels each communicating with selected ones of connected flow channels. In one form, the cover plate includes a conveying channel guiding one of the fluids to a desired position along the length of the heat exchanger, and the base plate includes a conveying channel guiding the other of the fluids to a desired position along the length of the heat exchanger. In another form, the conveying channels for both of the fluids are in the same one of the cover or base plate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a heat exchanger (e.g., a charge air cooler) having a cooling body composed of flat tubes arranged at intervals and having corrugated fins positioned in the intervals. The charge air in the flat tubes can be cooled by cooling air flowing through the corrugated fins. The heat exchanger can include a flow connector and an integrated pre-cooler in which a medium, for example charge air, is cooled by means of a coolant. The pre-cooler/post cooler can be integrated into a section of the cooling body. A flow connector composed of at least two tubular parts which can be plugged one into the other, locked and sealed, can include a partitioning wall extending in one of the parts. At least one inlet connection and/or at least one outlet connection can be arranged on one or the other of the parts.
Abstract:
According to a first aspect of the invention, a cooling module comprises a cooling system which comprises a radiator. A fan for generating air flow across the radiator also has a fan housing attached to the radiator in which the fan is located so that the fan is disposed relative to the radiator such that the fan may generate air flow across the radiator. A mounting plate is also attached to the radiator and has a first side facing the radiator and a second side. The mounting plate has attachment sites on the second side integral therewith on which other parts of the cooling system are mountable and channels integral therewith through which a coolant flowing through the cooling system may pass.
Abstract:
Two alternative flow patterns through a heat exchanger core are provided by a tank (20) including a baffle (40) dividing the tank into first and second chambers (42 and 44). A first port (50) is provided in the baffle (40) to establish communication between the chambers (42 and 44). A second port (52) is provided to the second chamber (44). The tank (20) further incudes plugs (62 and 64) that are receivable in the tank (20) for alternatively closing the first port (50) while opening the second port (52), and opening the second port (52) while closing the first port (50).
