Abstract: An intercooler assembly may include a housing and a cooler arranged therein through which charge air may be flowable. The housing may include an insertion opening through which the cooler may be insertable into the housing in an insertion direction transverse to the flow direction of the charge air. The cooler may include a pipe structure through which a coolant may be flowable, first and second end parts opposite each other transverse to the insertion direction, and third and fourth end parts opposite each other transverse to the first and second end parts and parallel to the flow direction, the end parts laterally delimiting and mechanically connected to the pipe structure. The cooler may be mechanically connected to the housing by the first end part, and at least one of the other end parts may be movably attached to the housing. The cooler may be pre-stressed against the housing by the third and/or fourth end part in a direction opposite a deformation of the cooler resulting from cooling of the charge air.

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly may include an intercooler and a housing which encloses said intercooler. The housing may be part of a charge air line. The housing may include a charge air inlet, a charge air outlet and an opening through which the intercooler can be inserted into the housing from one side. The housing may also include a recess on the side opposite the opening, into which recess the intercooler engages. The heat exchanger assembly may include an elastic seal arranged in the region of the recess between the intercooler and the housing. The seal may be configured to at least one of bridge the deformation of the housing occurring during pressure pulsations, bridge relative movements between the intercooler and the housing, and tightly connect the intercooler to the housing in all operating states preventing an undesirable bypass flow.

Abstract: A heat exchanger for transferring heat between a gaseous first fluid and a liquid second fluid may include a plurality of hollow pipes extending transversely through a first fluid path for conducting the first fluid. The plurality of pipes may be coupled externally to a plurality of cooling fins arranged in the first fluid path. The plurality of pipes may internally define a second fluid path for conducting the second fluid. The plurality of pipes and the plurality of cooling fins may be arranged stacked on one another in a stacking direction to define a cooler block. The cooler block may include two side parts extending along two outer sides of the cooler block facing away from one another in the stacking direction. At least one tension rod may fixedly connect the two side parts and be configured to transmit a tensile force in the stacking direction.

Abstract: A method for producing an intake module may include providing a housing and at least one intercooler arranged therein; forming at least two housing parts via injection molding from plastic; inserting at least one intercooler into at least one of the housing parts; wherein the housing parts, with at least one intercooler inserted therein, are welded together to form the housing; and wherein the intercooler has contact points to at least two of the housing parts.

Abstract: An air supply system for supplying fresh air to at least one combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine may include a housing having a fresh air path and a lateral introduction opening. A charge-air cooler may be instertable into the housing via the introduction opening along an introduction direction. The charge-air cooler may be arranged in the housing and the fresh air path may extend through the charge air cooler. The charge air cooler may include an outer end region closing the introduction opening. The outer end region of the charge-air cooler may be secured to the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to an intake pipe for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising a housing that defines a charge-air channel and an intercooler having a cooler block, which is arranged in the housing in such a way that the charge air can flow through the cooler block. The cooler block of the intercooler terminates on a side facing the housing with an outer component, preferably a cooling fin, and at least one recess is formed in said outer component of the cooler block, the at least one recess extending at least across part of the length of the cooler block substantially perpendicularly to the charge-air flow direction. Furthermore, at least one projection is provided on an inside face of the housing facing the cooler block of the intercooler, said projection extending at least across part of the inner face of the housing substantially perpendicularly to the charge-air flow direction and engaging at least partially in the at least one recess of the cooler block in a sealing manner.
