A cooling arrangement for a battery box includes a plate-shaped heat exchanging element, a cooling channel secured to the heat exchanging element, and a fluid collector for collecting or feeding a fluid into the cooling channel. The fluid collector includes a volume region and has a receiving opening on a side proximate to the cooling channel for introduction of the cooling channel to thereby fluidly connect the volume region with the cooling channel. A sealing element and a clamping element are arranged on an outside of the fluid collector at the receiving opening, with the clamping element being traversed by the cooling channel. A clamping tab is arranged above or below the receiving opening in surrounding relationship to the sealing element and the clamping element to thereby secure the cooling channel immovably to the fluid collector.

A multi-fluid heat exchanger assembly Is provided that integrates multiple and distinct heat exchanger systems into a single, integrated system or housing utilizing a common header. Any combination of techniques as described may be utilized for optimizing exchanger performance according to the particular fluids being cooled. The heat exchanger assembly can be optimized by utilizing a pair of opposed headers having a first set of openings and a tube core arranged according to a first configuration and a second set of openings and a tube core arranged according to a second configuration and wherein the first and second configurations are different from one another. The heat exchanger assembly can also be optimized through different tube core/fin joining techniques for each of the distinct heat exchanger systems. Another technique for optimizing the heat exchanger assembly is through the use of differing core depths for each of the distinct heat exchanger systems.
