  • Patent number: 7971631
    Abstract: A heat exchanger unit for motor vehicles includes one first heat exchanger and one second heat exchanger. Each heat exchanger includes two collector pipes which are arranged at a distance from each other. One collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to one collector pipe of the second heat exchanger. Also, the other collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to the other collector pipe of the second heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20070272175
    Abstract: A heat exchanger unit for motor vehicles includes one first heat exchanger and one second heat exchanger. Each heat exchanger includes two collector pipes which are arranged at a distance from each other. One collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to one collector pipe of the second heat exchanger. Also, the other collector pipe of the first heat exchanger is arranged substantially adjacent to the other collector pipe of the second heat exchanger. One and/or the transversal sections of the covering wall of the collector pipe does not have a circular shape, the sections being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a collector pipe of the first heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20070256819
    Abstract: The invention relates to a metal side-plate for a radiator, in particular a tubular radiator, such as those found in motor vehicles with combustion engines. According to the invention, the metal side-plate (20) is secured to securing points (13) on both sides of the collecting tubes (12) and a longitudinal slot (21) is introduced into the metal side-plate on at least one side in the region of the fixing. The fixing points (13) on the metal side-plates (20) are embodied on collecting tubes (12) on one side of the longitudinal slot.

  • Publication number: 20070199680
    Abstract: The invention relates to a frame part for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The frame parts should be designed so that given a simplified producibility of the frame parts, a complete compensation for expansion in the longitudinal direction as well as in the transverse direction of the frame part is nevertheless ensured. According to the invention, a frame part for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger comprises a number of tubes, which are parallel to one another, form a tube body, and are flowed through by a heat exchanging medium. The tube body is surrounded by frame parts at least on two sides that are parallel to the tubes. At least one thermal expansion element is formed at least in the frame parts that are oriented parallel to the tubes. The thickness of this thermal expansion element is at least a multiple of that of the material of the frame part where it deviates.

  • Publication number: 20070068660
    Abstract: A heat exchanging unit for motor vehicles, having a first heat exchanger that has two headers that are situated parallel to one another and at a distance from one another and that are connected to one another fluidically via a multiplicity of connecting pipes situated parallel to one another and at a respective distance in the longitudinal direction of the headers, the connecting pipes opening into the first header asymmetrically with respect to the width of the pipe floor situated perpendicular to the longitudinal first header axis, and the second wall segment, in the cross-section regarded perpendicular to the header longitudinal axis, becoming increasingly further removed from the first end of the pipe floor as the wall segment extends towards the second end area of the pipe floor, regarded in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connecting pipes and perpendicular to the longitudinal header axis.

  • Patent number: 6343485
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus is disclosed which includes a housing and a plurality of chambers which are arranged therein, sealed tightly and filled with a storage medium. The chambers have a substantially flat cross section and are arranged in at least one group. Passages extend between the chambers. The chambers of a group are combined to form a block, and at least one passage is provided between each pair of adjacent chambers.
