Abstract: A method for producing a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, wherein the heat exchanger has reservoirs and a bundle of flow-through fluid conduits for guiding the flow between the reservoirs. The conduits are produced together as a bundle. A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, especially a micro-channel cooler, can be produced by this method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchange device, in particular a vehicle radiator, for indirect exchange of heat between a first medium and a second medium, with a first guide section for routing the first medium and a second guide section for routing the second medium, the first guide section being formed by a thermally conductive heat exchange element consisting of graphite foam and being spatially separated from the second guide section, at least part of a second guide section being formed by the heat exchange element. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a heat exchange element for a heat exchange device, in particular for the radiator of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a plurality of cylinders which are arranged in two rows, two exhaust-gas turbochargers which are driven in each case by the exhaust gases from the cylinders of a cylinder row, and exhaust-gas recirculation. Two exhaust-gas discharge lines branch off, upstream of the respective exhaust-gas turbocharger, part of the exhaust gases from the cylinders of a cylinder row to be recirculated and supply this part to a common recirculation line. By way of the common recirculation line, the exhaust gases to be recirculated are supplied, downstream of the exhaust-gas turbochargers, to an air supply. At least one valve, which serves as an exhaust-gas recirculation valve and by which the quantity of recirculated exhaust gases can be set, is provided. The valve has a stop by which a communicating connection made between the two exhaust-gas discharge lines can be shut off.
