A vehicle heat exchange system may include a first heat exchanger for exchanging heat between a first medium and a second medium, a second heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the first medium and a third medium, a third heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the second medium and the third medium, a switch valve, and a control unit. The switch valve may be configured to enable selective switching between (i) a first path that supplies the second medium that has passed through the third heat exchanger to an inverter via an inverter radiator and (ii) a second path that supplies the second medium that has passed through the third heat exchanger to the inverter via the first heat exchanger. The control unit may be configured to control the switch valve such that the second path is selected when the first medium is in a predetermined low-temperature state.

Vehicle heat exchange system

A heat exchanger for a vehicle is mounted in a vehicle having a power train through which an engine coolant, an engine oil and a transmission oil flow and in which a flow rate of the engine oil and a flow rate of the transmission oil are different from each other. A first flow passage for causing the engine coolant to flow, a second flow passage for causing the engine oil to flow, and a third flow passage for causing the transmission oil to flow are formed through lamination of a plurality of plates. The heat exchanger includes a region where the first flow passage is adjacent only to that one of the second flow passage and the third flow passage through which a fluid flows at lower flow rate.

Heat exchanger for vehicle

A heat exchanger includes: the pair of the oil holes being positioned on an outer edge of one of the core plates, being positioned at symmetrical positions with respect to the center of the one of the core plates to sandwich the center of the one of the core plates, and being positioned to sandwich one of the fin plates along the first reference line, and the pair of the coolant holes being positioned on the outer edge of the one of the core plates, being positioned at symmetrical positions with respect to the center of the one of the core plates to sandwich the center of the one of the core plates, and being positioned to sandwich the one of the fin plates along the first reference line.

Heat exchanger

A heat exchanger includes: each of the fin plates having a V shaped or trapezoid corrugated shape, and including top walls positioned at top portions of the corrugated shape, bottom walls positioned at bottom portions of the corrugated shape, and foot portions each connecting one of the top walls and one of the bottom walls, each of the foot portions having a rectangular corrugated shape along one of the top walls and one of the bottom walls, and including stepped walls formed at a predetermined interval along the one of the top walls and the one of the bottom walls, and opening portions each formed in one of the stepped walls, and being an elongated through holes having a width equal to or smaller than a thickness of one of the fin plates.

An oil bypass structure of an oil cooler includes: a bypass passage; an outlet side passage; and bypass valve disposed at a connection portion between the bypass passage and the outlet side passage, the bypass valve which includes a valve element including an inside passage, and within which the oil flows, the bypass valve being arranged to be closed to shut off a flow of the oil from the bypass passage to the outlet side passage by the valve element so that the oil passing through the heat exchange section flows within the inside passage, and to be opened to connect the bypass passage and the inside passage so that the oil passing through the bypass passage flows within the inside passage.
