  • Patent number: 11940229
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a plurality of rows of media guiding ducts (12) for passing a media flow, a plurality of rows of fluid ducts for passing fluid to be temperature-controlled, and strip-shaped flow profile parts (20). At a transition between guide parts of the flow profile parts (20) and their plug-in parts, two mutually opposite steps are formed. The steps allow the flow profile part (20) to sit on the adjacent end faces of a fluid duct without spacing. The flow profile part (20) does not project at any point into a free opening cross section, which is defined by the imaginary extension of the inner, mutually facing boundary walls of a media duct (12) and by a media inlet of this duct (12).

  • Patent number: 11933548
    Abstract: A cooler has individual cooling elements (1) of stacked construction having ducts (25) extending in parallel to one another, Each duct delimits a flow chamber (29) for the throughflow of a liquid medium to be cooled. Between each pair of ducts. at least two layers (3, 5) of individual rows of meandering fins (34) extend for the throughflow of air and jointly delimit a further flow chamber (26, 28) each. The respective one flow chamber (29), free of obstacles, permits a laminar flow of the liquid medium through the assignable duct (25) in one throughflow direction. The height (H1) of each fin (34), viewed transversely to the direction of throughflow of the liquid medium, has at least the same height as the free throughflow cross section of the flow chamber (29) of the adjacently arranged duct (25), viewed in parallel to the extension of the respective fin (34).
