  • Patent number: 11942648
    Abstract: In order to produce a battery carrier which has a battery tray with a cooling plate, a tray plate and a cooling plate are joined to one another, wherein the cooling plate has at least one preshaped cooling duct. The tray plate jointly with the cooling plate is then formed by folding to produce the battery tray. During the folding of the tray plate and the cooling plate, a cooling duct section is bent around a bottom edge of the battery tray. The cooling duct is provided with connection elements via which a cooling fluid is supplied and discharged. During the course of the finishing, end shape-producing shaping of the cooling duct can also be performed. Internal pressure is applied to the cooling duct in order to restore the shape of the cooling duct which collapsed due to the forming.

  • Publication number: 20160334170
    Abstract: A motor vehicle heat exchanger system with a closed circuit for an operating medium includes an evaporator for evaporating the operating medium and a condenser for condensing the vaporous operating medium AM is provided. A reservoir for the liquid operating medium is integrated between the condense and the evaporator. Liquid operating medium is conducted from the reservoir via a feed line into the evaporator. In addition the reservoir and the evaporator are connected with each other via a compensation line. Vapor which may form during operation of the motor vehicle heat exchanger system on the liquid side of the evaporator can escape through the compensation line thereby achieving a pressure compensation.

  • Publication number: 20160333843
    Abstract: A motor vehicle heat exchanger system includes a closed circuit for a working medium and an exhaust gas channel for passage of exhaust gas that is discharged from an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle. An evaporator makes contact with the exhaust gas channel and evaporates the working medium. The evaporator includes at least one evaporator cassette having a housing and a capillary structure arranged in the housing. The capillary structure is formed by a porous plate body, e.g. made of sintered material.
