Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a seal, such as a gasket, for sealing a gap in a housing, said gap extending around an inner chamber of the housing, and thus for sealing the inner chamber from an exterior of the housing, comprising at least one sealing layer. The present disclosure further relates to a frame seal that provides sealing between at least two components of the housing, for example a bottom part and a top part of the housing, for example of a motor vehicle battery housing or motor vehicle battery box housing.

Abstract: A heat exchanger with a multi-zone heat transfer surface is disclosed. The heat exchanger includes a fluid flow passage extending between and interconnecting a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A heat transfer surface is disposed within the fluid flow passage wherein the heat transfer surface includes at least one heat transfer-reducing zone disposed in thermal contact with a portion of at least one of the walls of the fluid flow passage and at least one heat transfer-augmenting zone disposed in thermal contact with a portion of the at least one of the walls of the fluid flow passage. The configuration of the heat transfer-augmenting zones with the heat-transfer-reducing zones is such that heat transfer across the surface of the heat exchanger in contact with the heat transfer-augmenting zones is increased relative to the heat transfer across the surface of the heat exchanger in contact with the heat transfer-reducing zones.

Abstract: A housing cover and a housing are disclosed, which may be used in automotive vehicle construction. There, they serve for example for the purpose of offering protection to a sensitive component or to a group of components, for example a traction battery in the electric car, and, conversely, of protecting the environment from the component or the group of components or for example from electromagnetic radiation emanating from the component.
