A mixer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, for mixing a reactant with an exhaust gas flow, includes guide blade portions, fold webs and spacer webs. The guide blade portions are provided as guide blade pairs including a first blade portion connected to a second guide blade portion by at least one of the fold webs and folded at the at least one of the fold webs such that the first blade portion is disposed extending adjacent to and spaced from the second guide blade portion. Each of the guide blade pairs is connected to at least one adjacent guide blade pair by at least one of the spacer webs. The fold webs are disposed centrally and located adjacent to each other in an annular pattern of adjacent fold webs and the spacer webs are disposed peripherally spaced apart from each other about a circumference of the mixer.

Mixer for an exhaust system

A heat exchanger includes a first section and a second section for cooling distinct fluids, wherein the second section is adapted for cooling oil. The heat exchanger includes first and second manifolds divided by baffles into first and second chambers. A plurality of tubes connect the manifolds in fluid communication with the first chambers to form the first section of the heat exchanger. A plurality of oil cooling tubes connect the manifolds in fluid communication with the second chambers to form the second section. The oil cooling tubes have a cross-section characterized by a performance ratio between about 3.9 and 8.5 wherein the performance ratio is the ratio of the wetted perimeter in millimeters divided by the cross-sectional area of tube metal in square millimeters. The oil cooling tubes may be formed of extruded metal with internal fins or an extruded tube having a stamped metal insert.

Automotive heat exchanger

A heat exchanger for a vehicle is provided, where the heat exchanger includes core having first, and second sets of flow tubes extending between first and second headers and defining separate flow paths. One of the headers includes a first portion in fluid communication with the first set of flow tubes and a second portion defining a receiver/dryer chamber that is in fluid communication with the second set of flow tubes. A dryer is located within the receiver/dryer chamber.
