  • Patent number: 9982589
    Abstract: An intake manifold for a charged internal combustion engine has an intercooler provided with coolant connectors that is disposed in an intake manifold housing. The intake manifold housing has at least two housing parts including a basic housing part. The intake manifold housing is provided with at least one inlet and at least one outlet for charge air and is further provided with at least one passage for the coolant connectors of the intercooler. The intercooler is arranged between the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet so as to be flowed through by the charge air. The intercooler is fastened in the basic housing part by a fastening device such that the intercooler separates at least on one side of the basic housing part the at least one inlet seal-tightly from the at least one outlet.

  • Patent number: 9719737
    Abstract: A stub connection for a heat exchanger that is arranged in a housing and has a stack including plates and fins. The housing consists of housing parts which can be joined together, and at least one first stub for a first heat-exchanging medium being integrated directly into the housing. The stub connection also includes at least one second stub for a second heat-exchanging medium that extends to outside the housing. The at least one second stub is configured for the connection of a line and is integrated directly or indirectly into the housing.

  • Patent number: 9631875
    Abstract: A heat exchanger (10) cooling a fluid and a method for manufacturing, the heat exchanger (10) having an outer pipe section (12) in which a plurality of inner pipe sections (36) with channels for the fluid to be cooled are disposed. At least one cooling fluid channel (56) is disposed in the outer pipe section (12). The at least one cooling fluid channel (56) and the at least one channel for the fluid to be cooled are in heat contact and fluidically separated from each other. A plurality of inner pipe sections (36) open on both ends (38, 46) form of a pipe bundle (34) having ends fixed tightly in a corresponding lead-through opening (40) of an upstream end body (42) and fixed tightly with the other end (46) in a corresponding lead-through opening (48) of a downstream end body (50).
