Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a plastic part. According to said method, a plastic mass is heated to a moulding temperature which is equal to or higher than a melting temperature. Said plastic mass can be moulded by heat from the melting temperature. Plastic mass is moulded when it has reached the moulding temperature, the temperature of the moulding part is adjusted to a conversion temperature which is dependent on the type of plastic and which is lower than the melting temperature, and the moulded part is maintained at a conversion temperature for a defined conversion time frame. The invention also relates to a device comprising a plastic part which is produced according to said inventive method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a component, in particular a heat exchanger, in particular for motor vehicles, having a finned tube block. Preferably, at least one inlet chamber and at least one outlet chamber are provided having walls made of a synthetic resin material possessing a heat- and/or chemical-resistant coating.

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. Each of the passages is connected to distribution and collection chambers formed in the housing, in the area of the distribution and collection chambers, with at least one feed port and a return port.
