  • Publication number: 20230279993
    Abstract: A system for a motor vehicle may include a reservoir, a plurality of lubricant paths extending through the reservoir, a plurality of coolant paths extending through the reservoir, a plurality of delivery devices attached to the reservoir, and a plurality of coolers attached to the reservoir. The reservoir may include two sumps for lubricant. The reservoir may include (i) a plurality of reservoir lubricant inlet connections and a plurality of reservoir lubricant outlet connections through which the lubricant paths extend, (ii) a plurality of reservoir coolant inlet connections and a plurality of reservoir coolant outlet connections through which the coolant paths extend, (iii) a plurality of fluidic pump connections fluidically connected to the plurality of delivery devices, and (iv) a plurality of reservoir lubricant outlets, a plurality of reservoir lubricant inlets, a plurality of reservoir coolant outlets, and a plurality of reservoir coolant inlets fluidically connected to the coolers.

  • Publication number: 20230182048
    Abstract: A fluid connection element for a housing element is disclosed. The fluid connection element includes an inlet opening for introducing a fluid into the fluid connection element and an outlet opening for discharging the fluid from the fluid connection element. The outlet opening engages the housing element when the fluid connection element is coupled to the housing element in an installed state. The inlet opening and the outlet opening are coupled via a channel. A valve assembly is arranged in the channel such that the valve assembly is opened or closed as a function of an impulse. The valve assembly in the installed state is arranged at least partially within the housing element.

  • Patent number: 10487707
    Abstract: A fluid supply system with a component includes a first bypass valve arranged in a control channel with a valve body adjustable at least between a first and a second position. The valve body separates the control channel into a first and a second space and has a leakage opening connecting the first space to the second space. The second space is connected to a fluid reservoir via a leakage channel, and a switchable valve is arranged in the leakage channel. A sensing device is configured to sense a property of the fluid and convey the property to a controlling device that is configured to close the valve to block the leakage channel when a predefined property is reached. A second bypass valve is configured to reduce a transient oscillation of the first bypass valve during a starting of the system.

  • Patent number: 10473402
    Abstract: A heat exchanger module may include a heat exchanger device arranged on a base plate and configured to control the temperature of a fluid via a heat transfer medium. The module may also include at least one additional unit arranged on the base plate and structured as at least one of a pump and a filter device. Further, the module may include a fluid inflow duct, a fluid outflow duct, a medium inflow duct, and a medium outflow duct disposed in the base plate. The at least one additional unit may include at least one inflow line and at least one outflow line disposed in the base plate and fluidically separated from the other ducts disposed in the base plate. The at least one inflow line and the at least one outflow line may be arranged outside as well as below the heat exchanger device.
