A collector of a heat exchanger for a vehicle, which collector has numerous recesses for projections on a tube sheet that are pressed into the recesses as part of a crimp connection, and wherein the recesses have at least one platform which is spaced apart from at least one edge of the recess in such a way that a free space is created. A heat exchanger for a vehicle, which heat exchanger has a tube sheet with projections that adjoin openings and are pressed into recesses of a collector, and wherein at least one opening edge, which is adjacent to an opening edge that is directly adjacent to the projection, is bent out of the plane of the opening.

Collector of a heat exchanger for a vehicle and such a heat exchanger

Device for heat transfer between a first fluid and one second fluid includes a housing with first housing element, second housing element and heat transfer element. Housing is developed with a first connecting fitting and a second connecting fitting for each fluid. Heat transfer element is disposed in a volume completely enclosed in a housing and is developed for through-conduction of the first fluid. Housing is developed for conduction of the second fluid about the heat transfer element. Connecting fittings for second fluid are either disposed on the first housing element and the connecting fittings for the first fluid are disposed on the second housing element, wherein within the second housing at least one flow path for conducting the first fluid is implemented which extends between a connecting fitting and a collector region or the connecting fittings for the fluids are disposed on the first housing element.

Heat transfer device

A heat exchanger includes a fluid reservoir having a peripherally extending foot, a header having a mounting tab bent to engage the foot of the fluid reservoir to couple the header to the fluid reservoir, and a retaining feature configured to prevent disengagement of the mounting tab of the header from the foot of the fluid reservoir. The retaining feature overlays at least a portion of an outer surface of the mounting tab while otherwise restrained by a portion of the fluid reservoir in order to prevent the disengagement of the mounting tab from the foot.

Retained strong header for heat exchanger

A heat exchange assembly includes an upper cover panel, a lower cover panel, a plurality of stacked plate assemblies, and a plurality of fins interposed between the plurality of plate assemblies. Each of the plurality of plate assemblies forms a flow passage for receiving a coolant. A continuous flow path extends through the heat exchange assembly. The flow path is in fluid communication with the flow passage of each of the plates and configured to convey air from each of the flow passages to an environment separate from the heat exchanger.

Internal degas feature for plate-fin heat exchangers

A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle includes a seal and a core. The core includes a first groove formed in a first side and a second groove formed in an opposing second side. The first groove and the second groove are each configured to receive a portion of the seal to secure the seal to the core. The seal includes a cross member and a pair of uprights extending from opposing ends of the cross member, wherein the cross member and the uprights each include a sealing element. The uprights further include a rail extending from the upright and configured to be received in the groove of the core. The core further includes an integrated shear panel formed at opposing ends thereof.

Bypass seal for plate heater matrix

A plate for a heat exchanger includes a substantially planar body having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, a fluid surface, and an outer surface. A first cup extends from the outer surface of the body adjacent the first end of the body. A second cup extends from the outer surface of the body and is spaced from the second end of the body.

Intercooler for improved durability

A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle comprises a fluid reservoir having at least one continuous sidewall. A plurality of first coupling features are formed in a base of the sidewall, wherein the first coupling features are outward extending protrusions. The heat exchanger further comprises a header configured to receive a portion of the fluid reservoir therein. The header includes a mounting tab having a plurality of second coupling features and a plurality of reinforcing features alternately formed therein. Each of the second coupling features are cavities configured to receive a portion of a corresponding one of the first coupling features therein. A receiving surface of each of the second coupling features cooperates with an engaging surface of the corresponding one of the first coupling features.

Header for heat exchanger

An inlet tank for a charge cooler comprises a manifold portion, a turbocharger inlet port, and a supercharger inlet port. The turbocharger inlet port is in fluid communication with a compressor wheel of a turbocharger and the manifold portion of the inlet tank. An opening is formed in a sidewall of the turbocharger inlet port. The supercharger inlet port is in fluid communication with an electric supercharger and intersects the turbocharger inlet port. The opening formed in the sidewall of the turbocharger inlet port provides fluid communication between the supercharger inlet port and the turbocharger inlet port. A valve element selectively determines when a flow of air from the supercharger inlet port enters the turbocharger inlet port through the opening based on a pressure differential present between the air exiting the compressor wheel of the turbocharger and the air exiting a compression mechanism of the electric supercharger.

Integrated passive one way valve in charge air inlet tank

A header for a heat exchanger includes a header frame defining an opening and including a base portion circumscribing a perimeter thereof. A mounting tab extends from the base portion. The mounting tab is configured to bend inwardly with respect to the header frame. A deformation featured is formed on one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the header frame and is configured to facilitate bending of the mounting tab.

Coined header for heat exchanger

A tank for a heat exchanger includes a casing including a substantially planar header opening formed therein and a foot disposed around a perimeter of the header opening. The foot forms an outwardly extending flange from which a pair of oppositely arranged walls extend, the oppositely arranged walls forming an arcuate shape including a spine extending along an apex of the arcuate shape. The oppositely arranged walls each have a corrugated profile adjacent the foot due to the presence of outwardly projecting ribs formed in the oppositely arranged walls. Each of the ribs extend lengthwise from the foot toward the spine, wherein a distal end of each of the ribs is formed adjacent a neutral stress portion of the casing which undergoes a minimal stress when the casing is subjected to an internal pressure from a fluid flowing there through.

Header tank rib design for a heat exchanger

A cooling module including a first heat exchanger cooling a first heat exchange medium, a second heat exchanger cooling a second heat exchange medium, a third heat exchanger cooling a third heat exchange medium, and a fan and shroud assembly arranged in parallel in an air flow direction, wherein a flow of the first heat exchange medium inside first tubes forming the first heat exchanger is perpendicular to a flow of the second heat exchange medium inside second tubes forming the second heat exchanger and parallel with a flow of the third heat exchange medium inside third tubes forming the third heat exchanger. The cooling module capable of sufficiently securing the first heat exchange medium condensing performance, the third heat exchange medium cooling performance, and the second heat exchange medium cooling performance and being miniaturized.
