  • Method for manufacturing a distributor for refrigerant in a thermal management module
    Patent number: 12678853
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a distributor for refrigerant in components in a thermal management module is provided, distributor has distributor openings for the refrigerant on an upper surface and/or a lower surface that faces away from the upper surface. Greater reliability, reduced installation space, and greater variability in the shape of the distributor are obtained in that the distributor is produced in a casting process, in which channel sections of channels passing through the distributor are obtained with a removable core in a mold. A method for manufacturing a thermal management module that contains such a distributor, as well as a distributor produced in this manner, and a thermal management module is provided.
