Abstract: The invention relates to a casing for holding a coolant for heat exchanger (1) for motor vehicles, said casing having two side walls (22, 24 and 22a, 24a) two front walls (26, 28, and 26a, 28a), a cover (18 and 18a) and a base (20 and 20a) lying opposite the cover (18 and 18a), said base being provided with one or more openings (60) for receiving tubes, in particular connecting tubes such as flat tubes. According to the invention, the base (20 and 20a) and at least one of the two side walls (26, 28 and 26a, 28a) consist of a one-piece shaped part, produced in a forming method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling module for an engine (1) of a motor vehicle. Said cooling module comprises a heat exchanger (4), at least one fan (16) and a coolant pump (8), whereby a modular frame (3) forms an integral part of the cooling module (2) and the coolant pump (8) is disposed within and/or on said modular frame.

Abstract: A metallic connection piece for an all-metal heat exchanger is capable of being used for a plastic hose coupling. The connection piece (20) has a double bead as a stop region with two integrally formed anti-twist retaining means (26, 27) that engage into axial grooves (40, 41) of a hose coupling (31) and ensure fault-free mounting.

Abstract: For fastening an equalizing tank of plastic material on a water tank made of plastic material, a three-point or multipoint mating connection is provided. The multipoint mating connection is joined together in the horizontal direction and includes a mating point situated in the region of an end wall of the equalizing tank and two or more mating points which are situated at a distance therefrom and from one another, preferably in the region of the bottom of the equalizing tank.

Abstract: A coolant expansion tank, consists of a filling chamber for receiving the coolant and an expansion chamber connected via a connecting line and separated by a double-walled partition forming a monitorable testing space. The connecting line is led through and between the two walls of the double-walled partition. Openings to the exterior are provided in the testing space to dispurse any testing agent resulting from a leak in the partition or connecting line.

Abstract: A expansion tank for coolant consists of a filling chamber for receiving the coolant and an expansion chamber that is arranged under the filling chamber and is connected with it via a line between the upper area of the filling chamber and the lower area of the expansion chamber. An indentation portion of the filling chamber extends to the underside of the expansion tank and a suction outlet is connected to the indentation portion adjacent the underside of the expansion tank.

Abstract: An axially flexible drive disc of sheet-metal for vehicle propulsion includes a centrally disposed flange for attachment to the end of the drive shaft of the vehicle propulsion engine and is connected at its external circumference at a few, preferably three, fastening points, located evenly distributed around the periphery, to the input element of the adjacent gearbox. The gear box includes a hydrodynamic torque converter as the input element with the converter housing simultaneously assuming the flywheel function for the vehicle propulsion engine.

Abstract: A bearing arrangement for the balance shafts for balancing second order inertia forces on an internal combustion engine, in which the balance shafts run parallel to the crankshaft on both longitudinal walls of the crankcase, and have the ends carrying the balance weights supported by means of journal bearings within the crankcase and having driven ends supported by means of roller bearings outside the crankcase in the region of a crankcase end wall.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a housing casing for a rotary piston internal combustion engine, especially of trochoidal construction, as well as the housing casing made according to this method, whereby the housing casing consists of light metal whose internal running surface for the piston consists of a coating of hard material; the method thereby involves leaving during the machining of the inner wall of the housing casing a material island of such light metal about the discharge opening of the already bored or still to be bored spark-plug-firing channel, whose height corresponds at least to the thickness of the coating to be subsequently provided along the inner contour of the housing casing in the finish-machined condition; as a result thereof the area of the discharge opening of the firing channel is constituted exclusively of such light metal.

Abstract: A rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction which includes a housing casing with hollow spaces for a cooling media disposed between housing inner and housing outer walls, whose outer wall is provided with a cooling medium channel; a polygonal piston rotates within the housing casing and slides along its inner wall, and at least one cooling medium bore constructed as nozzle is provided which branches off from the cooling medium channel, is arranged in the housing outer wall and is directed toward the hottest area of the housing inner wall.
