  • Patent number: 8403031
    Abstract: A heat transmission unit includes a channel conducting a coolant, and a channel conducting a fluid to be cooled. The two channels are separated from each other by a wall provided with ribs extending therefrom into at least one of the two channels. The channel conducting the fluid to be cooled includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The channel is separated by a partition wall, arranged in flow direction, into a first and a second partial channel having a first partial inlet for fluid and a second partial inlet for fluid, and a first partial outlet for fluid and a second partial outlet for fluid. At least the first partial inlet for fluid is adapted to be shut off by a first shut-off device.

  • Publication number: 20090183861
    Abstract: Previous heat transmission units have only low cooling efficiencies in case of small fluid mass flows. According to the invention, it is proposed to configure a heat transmission unit (1) in such a manner that a channel (4) conducting the fluid to be cooled is separated, by a partition wall (14;23,24;29,30), into at least two separated partial channels (15,16), a first one of these channels being adapted to be shut off by a shut-off means (21;27;31) arranged at a first partial fluid inlet (17) of this channel. Preferably, in spite of the closed condition of this inlet cross section, full use is made of the existing cooler surface in that there is effected, by suitable arrangement of the partition walls (14;23,24;29, 30) and by further shut-off means (28;32), a deflection of the fluid mass flow in the heat transmission unit (1).

  • Publication number: 20090050302
    Abstract: A cooling device is proposed that can be produced by the diecasting process, and which has a heat-transfer unit surrounded by an outer shell, wherein a jacket through which coolant flows is formed between the heat-transfer unit and the outer shell, said jacket is subdivided by webs in such a way that a passage through which coolant flows is formed between the outer shell and the outer casing of the heat-transfer unit. To this end, the webs are arranged in such a way that this circulating flow is effected in a meander shape. Compared with a spiral flow, this results in degrees of freedom with regard to the arrangement of the coolant inlets and coolant outlets. Furthermore, such cooling devices can be produced and assembled in a cost-effective manner and have a high efficiency.

  • Patent number: 4093305
    Abstract: A sun protection consisting of at least two frame-type supporting beams. The beams are formed of respectively one cross beam and two lateral beams adapted to be put together, with mounting ears. These ears are provided at the bottom ends of the lateral beams which ears are seated on respectively one bolt of a clamp holder provided with a clamping element.
