A stacked plate heat exchanger for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The stacked plate heat exchanger includes a plurality of elongated stacked plates extending in a longitudinal direction and stacked against one another perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction in a stacking direction. First hollow spaces and second hollow spaces are disposed between adjacent stacked plates, through which alternatingly a first medium and a second medium flows. At least one stacked plate has a rib structure disposed on a respective plate surface, structured and arranged to provide a plurality of flow passages within the respective hollow space. The rib structure has a guiding region and two distribution regions. The rib structure differs in the guiding region and in the two distribution regions by shape and size of the plurality of flow passages.

Stacked plate heat exchanger

A corrugated fin, in particular for a heat exchanger, having a substantially corrugated design, having a plurality of fin surfaces, wherein adjoining fin surfaces are connected to one another by means of a fin arch in such a way that a medium can flow through an intermediate space between adjoining fin surfaces, wherein the fin surfaces are arranged at an angle with respect to one another perpendicularly with respect to a throughflow direction for the medium, wherein the fin surface has at least one bulge which protrudes out of the plane of the fin surface, wherein the extent of the bulge in a direction perpendicularly with respect to the air throughflow direction is smaller than the extent of the fin surface in said direction.

Corrugated fin and method for producing it

The invention relates to a heat exchanger, particularly for a motor vehicle, comprising a plurality of exchanger tubes () attached to at least one floor for conveying a first fluid, wherein the exchanger tubes () are disposed in a housing through which a second fluid flows, wherein a holding member () is disposed inside the housing, wherein at least two of the exchanger tubes () are supported relative to one another by means of the holding member ().

Heat exchanger, particularly for a motor vehicle

An impact-resistant material protective cover is disclosed for covering a stacking-disk heat exchanger which in used in a motor vehicle as an oil/coolant cooler. The protective cover may be formed from two identical cover shells having innerengageable locking detent elements for connecting them together in position around the circumference of the cooler housing.

Stacking-disk heat exchanger

Known constructions of oil coolers for motor vehicles are generally fastened directly by means of the base plate on the engine block and are therefore subjected to extremely high lateral acceleration forces during the operation of the engine. Stacking disk oil coolers, as a rule, do not withstand such forces because the lowest disk may deform during the operation so that the effectiveness of the cooler becomes questionable. It is suggested to arrange a reinforcing plate between the lowest plate of the stacking disk oil cooler and a base plate, which reinforcing plate is provided with a rim surrounding the edge of the lowest plate. This measure increases the stability of the stacking disk oil cooler so that it can be fastened directly to the engine block.
