Apparatus for cooling electrical elements, comprising a heat sink () through which a coolant can flow, a plurality of electrical elements () which each have a bottom surface and a side surface, with the bottom surfaces being aligned essentially on one plane, with the heat sink () having at least one channel () through which a coolant can flow and making thermal contact with the electrical elements (), characterized in that the heat sink () extends essentially parallel to the plane of the bottom surfaces, with the channel () in the heat sink having a profile which is matched to edges of the electrical elements ().

Apparatus for cooling of electrical elements

A fuel cell module () with a fuel cell (), a residual gas burner () and a heat exchanger (). The service life of the module () can be improved by at least one compensator () for establishing a flow-carrying connection between the residual gas burner () and the heat exchanger ().

Fuel cell module

The invention relates to a vehicle cooling system ( ) for a temperature-raising device ( ), especially a drive battery or fuel cell, preferably for an electric or hybrid vehicle. The system has a coolant ( ) that cools the device ( ) with the involvement of an air-conditioning system ( ) that serves for air-conditioning of the vehicle passenger compartment. It is preferred that the coolant ( ) be a liquid coolant, which is carried in a cooling circuit ( ) and for cooling of the liquid to be thermally integrated into the refrigeration circuit ( ) of the air-conditioning system. The invention further relates to a method for cooling a temperature-raising vehicle device.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger, particularly of cross-current design, through which at least two separate media can flow. It comprises plates which are stacked on one another and which are spaced apart from one another in some areas and are in contact with one another in other areas, so that flow paths are formed between respectively adjacent plates in a heat exchange region. The plates have apertures adjacent to the heat exchange region, and the plates are spaced apart from one another by means of shaped-out portions of the plates. Areas succeeding one another about the circumference of the plates have apertures, and these areas are alternately shaped out in opposite directions from the plane of the plates.

Heat exchanger

The device is used to cool a vehicle appliance, in particular a battery or a fuel cell, by means of a coolant. It has a plurality of identically designed cooling elements, through which coolant can flow, which can be brought into bearing contact to cool at least one component of the vehicle appliance. It includes a first cooling-element side and a second cooling-element side which is on the opposite side from the first cooling-element side. The cooling-element sides have connection openings, which form inlet and outlet openings for the coolant and are in communication with the interior space of the cooling element. In this arrangement, it is provided for the first and second cooling-element sides each to have at least two connection openings.

In a heating and/or air-conditioning system especially for an automobile with a blower housing and a distributor housing located in front of and below an instrument panel, provision is made such that the distributor housing can be separated toward the vehicle interior from the blower housing. The distributor housing has a front end facing the vehicle interior which fills a recess in the instrument panel provided for removing the distributor housing.

A desorbable sorption filter, in particular for a heating or air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, has a metallic support ( ) which can be heated by flow of current and an adsorber ( ) mounted at or on the support ( ). To provide an improved, directly heatable sorption filter which particularly enables inexpensive production and good electrical and thermal conductive contact without the use of adhesives, it is proposed for the adsorber ( ) to be of planar design and to be mechanically connected to the support ( ) by means of holding elements ( ) formed integrally on the support ( ).

The invention relates to a heat exchanger of the crosscurrent type, through which at least two fluids flow, consisting of plates which are stacked one on the other between two cover plates and which are spaced from one another in regions and are in contact in regions, so that fluid paths are formed between them in a heat transfer region, and of inlet ducts and outlet ducts which are arranged laterally in duct regions and which are formed from inlet duct openings and outlet duct openings in the plates, at least one inlet duct and one outlet duct being fluidically connected to a group of fluid paths which are next but one. The object of the invention is to develop a heat exchanger of the type initially mentioned, in such a way that, while having at least the same operating reliability, it can be produced more efficiently and more cost-effectively and has a lower weight. In order to achieve this object, there is provision for the spacing of the plates to be carried out by means of shaped-out portions of the plates.
