  • Method for producing a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle and a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 9561563
    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.

  • Heat Exchange Device and Method for Producing a Heat Exchange Element for a Heat Exchange Device
    Publication number: 20130019478
    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 (12a) for routing the first medium and a second guide section (12b) for routing the second medium, the first guide section (12a) being formed by a thermally conductive heat exchange element (10) consisting of graphite foam and being spatially separated from the second guide section (12b), at least part of a second guide section (12b) being formed by the heat exchange element (10). The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a heat exchange element (10) for a heat exchange device, in particular for the radiator of a motor vehicle.
