  • Patent number: 11573080
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasonic measuring unit for attaching to a measuring instrument. The measuring instrument is designed in such a way that the measuring instrument can be arranged on a movement axis of a machine. When the ultrasonic measuring unit is arranged on the measuring instrument, an ultrasonic measurement can be carried out by means of the ultrasonic measuring unit. The ultrasonic measuring unit comprises a tubular sleeve and an elastic carrier element. The tubular sleeve surrounds the elastic carrier element. The elastic carrier element consists of a material that conducts ultrasonic waves. At a first end of the tubular sleeve, the elastic carrier element protrudes beyond an outer edge of the tubular sleeve. The tubular sleeve and the elastic carrier element are intended to contact, in particular directly, the surface to be measured, during a probing process of the measuring instrument.

  • Publication number: 20210247149
    Abstract: An inner rib, in particular for a flat tube, in particular of a heat exchanger, made from a metallic flat strip, which is shaped in a wavy modulated manner, having a large number of wave crests and wave troughs, which are each arranged alternately in a longitudinal direction of the inner fin, an essentially straight, web-like fin area being provided between one wave crest and an adjacent wave trough and connecting the wave crest to the wave trough, the metallic flat strip having a first strip thickness L1, which is essentially constant in the area of the wave crests and the wave troughs, the flat metallic strip having a second strip thickness L2, which is provided in the area of the web-like fin area, L2 being smaller than L1.

  • Patent number: 10562366
    Abstract: A battery cooling device may include a refrigeration circuit configured to communicate a refrigerant in a flow direction. The refrigeration circuit may include a plurality of refrigerant paths configured to be flowed through in parallel by the refrigerant along the flow direction. The plurality of refrigerant paths may respectively include at least one of a cooling element and a cooling element section. The at least one of the cooling element and the cooling element section may be fluidically incorporated into the respective refrigerant paths and be thermally coupled in a heat-transmitting manner to at least one battery. A plurality of valve devices may be arranged in the respective refrigerant paths and be configured to control a throughflow of the refrigerant.

  • Patent number: 10386128
    Abstract: A collector for accommodating at least two flat tubes of a heat exchanger, which are disposed so as to be mutually parallel and each of which has a broad side and a narrow side, may include a first element and a second element. The first element may be configured as a metal strip, and the second element may be configured as one of an extruded section or a formed sheet-metal part. At least two punched through openings each configured as a passage for receiving one of the flat tubes may be provided in at least one of the first element and the second element. The at least two punched through openings may further be oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the collector by way of the broad side of the flat tubes.

  • Publication number: 20150053372
    Abstract: A plate heat transmitter may include a plate for transmitting thermal energy to a heat carrier. The heat transmitter may include a flow duct, delimited at least on one side by the plate, for channeling a flow of the heat carrier along the plate in a predetermined flow direction. A plurality of nubs may be included projecting from the plate into the flow duct, for distributing the heat carrier within the flow duct. At least two adjacent nubs may be connected with at least one of (i) one another and (ii) a duct delimitation to form a flow barrier running substantially transversely to the flow direction, to block the flow of heat carrier in the flow direction.
