Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system comprising an oil filter adapter constructed to be installed between an engine of a motorcycle and an oil filter of the motorcycle. The oil filter adapter defines an oil inlet aperture and an oil outlet aperture. The system comprises a heat exchanger, which defines an oil inlet port and an oil outlet port.

A housing for configuring a compact heat exchanger module includes separate fluid flow conduits integrally formed on at least one wall thereof and connected to at least one inlet and at least one outlet of at least one heat exchanger disposed within the housing. The separate fluid flow conduits configures at least a part of the heat exchange circuit that facilitates passage of fluid cooled/heated by the at least one heat exchanger through at least one region to be cooled/heated to extract/reject heat there-from/thereto and return heated/cooled fluid back to the at least one heat exchanger for cooling/heating thereof.

An engine oil filtration and temperature regulation assembly (1) mountable on a vehicle engine fluidically connectable to an engine oil circulation system (1). The assembly includes an oil filtration group (2), a heat exchanger group (3) and a support and fluidic connection group (5) to engage to the engine and to support the filtration group (2) and the heat exchanger group (3). The group (5) includes a base plate (50) fluidically connected to receive and return oil from and to the engine. The group (5) includes a support and fluidic connection device (500), between the base plate (50) and the filtration group (2) and/or heat exchanger group (3) having a multi-layer assembly (510) having plate-shaped elements (5101, 5102, 5103, 5104, 5105, 5106) overlappable to constitute respective ducts to create a fluidic connection between the engine and oil filtration group (2) and/or heat exchanger group (3).

A heat transfer system for a vehicle including an axle assembly having a carrier housing. A sump defined by the carrier housing contains a fluid lubricant. The heat transfer system further includes a heat exchanger within the sump. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with a battery cooling unit.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a first free space (7) for a first fluid (3), a thermally conductive wall (11) which, at least locally, delimits said first free space (7), in such a way that an exchange of heat can occur between the first fluid and the thermally conductive wall (11) which is hollow and encloses a material (13) for storing thermal energy by accumulation of latent heat, by heat exchange with at least the first fluid. The first free space (7) is divided into at least two separated channels (7a, 7b) in which two streams of the first fluid (3) can circulate at the same time but separately, the thermally conductive wall (11) which encloses the thermal energy storage material (13) being interposed between the two channels (7a, 7b).

Methods and systems are provided for an oil heater of a hybrid electric vehicle. The oil heater comprises a metal foam comprising a plurality of pores. The oil heater is activated during a regenerative braking event where an oil temperature is less than a predefined temperature.

A fluid heating pre-start system includes a fluid circuit. The fluid circuit includes a circulating pump, a heat exchanger, and a fluid jacket coupled to a piece of equipment. The pre-start system includes a heater positioned to heat the fluid in the fluid circuit using the heat exchanger. The pre-start system includes a controller positioned to control the operation of the fluid circuit and the heater. The pre-start system may be run until the piece of equipment is preheated to a desired temperature before the piece of equipment is activated.

The present invention provides a preheating, lubricating, and cooling system that oil essentially used for lubrication, wear resistance, and cooling of an internal combustion engine, industrial equipment, or a mobile vehicle is used as a preheating medium, a manager supplies the oil most optimized for load operation of equipment through a preheating system separated from the existing main oil system, and an oil supply path uses a path of the existing oil system, so that the preheating and the load operation are facilitated during an extremely cold season and an extremely hot season, and a normal operation is possible even in a case of being immediately stopped after the operation.

A lubricating system of an engine equipped with an idle reduction system includes an oil cooler, a remotely operable valve configured to open and close a bypass passage that bypasses the oil cooler, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to perform the steps of: controlling the valve so that a temperature of lubricating oil approaches a target temperature; and lowering the target temperature when an average torque of the engine is less than a predetermined threshold.
