Abstract: The invention relates to a device for multi-stage heat exchange and to a method for producing one such device, whereby at least three free-flowing media (fluids) are used in three flow devices subdivided into at least two heat-exchanging or flow modules. Said modules respectively consist of at least two flow elements that are arranged in such a way that different fluids alternately flow through the same. For essentially liquid fluids, the fluids are distributed to the flow elements by means of fluid collecting devices or fluid distributing devices connected in a gas-tight and liquid-tight manner. The main flow directions of all fluids in the flow elements are in essentially parallel planes. At least two flow modules are directly mounted in series and/or by means of fluid distributing devices in a flow-connected manner at least in relation to one flow device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger which is especially used as an oil cooler in vehicles, and a method for the production thereof. A heat exchanger which is especially used as an oil cooler in the motor vehicle industry consists of interconnected plates. Outwardly closed cavities are embodied between the plates.

The plates are profiled in such a way that contact points are created between the respective profiles of the plate, and said plates are interconnected in the region of said contact points. The plates are designed such that the current from the first or second medium forming between the plates, from the corresponding supply line to the corresponding discharge line, does not follow a linear path.

Abstract: A heat exchanger (1) consists of a plurality of disks (4) which are assembled to form a heat exchanger block or disk stack (16) and which are formed in each case from sheets (22) joined together in pairs and enclose between them at least one cavity designed as a duct. The cavity is delimited by the insides of the sheets (22). In the duct, an internal fluid flows in the longitudinal direction of the disks (4) and, on the outside of the disks, an external fluid flows transversely to the direction of flow of the internal fluid. Each sheet (22) has elevations (26, 33?) out of the disk plane, which are formed by material deformation and are directed both into the inside of the disk and toward the outside of the disk, the elevations (33?) directed toward the outside of the disk being configured as elongate stamped-out portions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle cooling system (1) for a temperature-raising device (4), especially a drive battery or fuel cell, preferably for an electric or hybrid vehicle. The system has a coolant (7) that cools the device (4) with the involvement of an air-conditioning system (8) that serves for air-conditioning of the vehicle passenger compartment. It is preferred that the coolant (7) be a liquid coolant, which is carried in a cooling circuit (2) and for cooling of the liquid to be thermally integrated into the refrigeration circuit (3) of the air-conditioning system. The invention further relates to a method for cooling a temperature-raising vehicle device.
