Abstract
A heat medium distributor for an air inlet system having multiple heat exchangers includes a box-like housing, which is divided by a dividing wall into a first flow chamber, which is used as the forward collection pipe, and a second flow chamber, which is used as the return collection pipe. For each heat exchanger to be connected, a forward connection nozzle branches off the first flow chamber and for each heat exchanger to be connected, a return connection nozzle opens into the second flow chamber. The arrangement of the connection nozzles is such that all flow paths of the heat medium through the various heat exchangers and the distributor are of equal length. The heat medium distributor replaces traditional heat medium distributors which are produced by welding together individual pieces of pipe, and which are structurally relatively large and therefore expensive, and in general cannot be housed in the housing of the air inlet system.
