Abstract:
A liquid cooler having a heat exchanger core located within a housing, the heat exchanger core secured to the housing by fastening points on the housing. The heat exchanger core having a stack of plate pairs or tubes, and the core also having ribs arranged in between the plate pairs or tubes. A cover plate with apertures is arranged on the heat exchanger core. The heat exchanger core is located within an insertion opening of the housing. An adapter rests on the cover plate in a sealing manner. The adapter includes at least one of an inlet port and an outlet port. The adapter is fastened to the housing at the fastening points, and provides a fluid connection to the apertures and the tubes or plate pairs.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger having a stack of plate pairs or tubes and ribs arranged in between, and having a cover plate with apertures is arranged in a housing. Functional elements of the heat exchanger, including an inlet port and/or an outlet port, are provided by an adapter which rests on the cover plate in a sealing manner. The adapter is fastened to the housing, and provides a fluid connection to the apertures and the tubes or plate pairs.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger having a cooler block including a stack of plates arranged in plate pairs. The cooler block defines flow paths and flow ducts and has an outer circumference. At least some of the plate pairs include a bent edge having an elongation, the elongation on one plate pair in the stack extending to the next plate pair in the stack such that a substantially smooth contour of the cooler block is formed in at least one circumferential region.
