  • Publication number: 20260132997
    Abstract: A coolant distribution unit includes a heat exchanger, a housing, a primary flow path, and a secondary flow path. The housing accommodates the heat exchanger. Through the primary flow path, a primary coolant flows from an inlet of the primary coolant in the housing to an outlet of the primary coolant in the housing via the heat exchanger. Through the secondary flow path, a secondary coolant flows from an inlet of the secondary coolant in the housing to an outlet of the secondary coolant in the housing via the heat exchanger. Each of the side surfaces of the heat exchanger on one side in a first direction and on the other side in the first direction includes at least one of an inflow portion of the primary coolant, an outflow portion of the primary coolant, an inflow portion of the secondary coolant, or an outflow portion of the secondary coolant.
