Abstract: A primary plate for a cooling plate includes a plate having a first surface, a second surface, a recess formed therein, a plurality of first openings formed therethrough, a plurality of second openings formed therethrough, and a plurality of apertures formed through the plate adjacent a perimeter thereof and configured to receive a plurality of coupling means. Each of the plurality of first openings and the plurality of second openings is configured for receiving ends of tubes.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger housing with an exhaust gas inlet adapter and an exhaust gas outlet adapter, which encloses and bounds off a flow space for a coolant. The heat exchanger is furthermore configured with platelike heat exchanger elements arranged in parallel with each other and forming exhaust gas flow ducts, through which exhaust gas flows and around which liquid coolant flows. A heat exchanger element comprises two wall elements, which are joined together on opposite side surfaces and are configured with ribs on both surfaces. The ribs are arranged on an inner side and within the exhaust gas flow duct and on an outer side of the heat exchanger element. Adjacent heat exchanger elements arranged with outer sides facing each other are joined together at end faces abutting each other, forming a coolant flow duct having the ribs disposed therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bypass valve, particularly a two-way valve for exhaust gas flows from motor vehicles, having a valve housing and an actuating mechanism with a valve flap and two ports for fluid outlet, which are embodied as alternately sealable by the valve flap, and one port for fluid intake, characterized in that at each of the ports for fluid outlet an adapter and sealing ring is provided, arranged at least partially and fluid-tight in the valve housing, wherein the valve flap can be positioned fluid-tight on the adapter and sealing ring.
