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 plate heat exchanger comprising a plurality of plates having a plane peripheral zone, an inner zone having sinusoidal undulations and two chimneys positioned at two opposite corners of the plates. Modules are formed by assembling two plates that make contact via the undulation troughs and the peripheral zones. The modules are stacked so as to make contact via the inlet and outlet chimneys. Each module may thus deform independently, in particular at the undulation troughs and ridges without transmitting stress to the other modules of the heat exchanger. In addition, the heat exchanger may comprise a tie rod in each inlet and outlet pipe so as to withstand the static pressure of the fluids flowing in the pipes.

A component retention assembly is fixed to an associated part and configured to be engaged with a bracket of a component. The component retention assembly may include a pair of cantilever prongs and a clip. The clip includes a hinge and an extension that is removably disposed between the pair of cantilever prongs when the clip is in a closed position. A prong is disposed on an end of the extension opposite the hinge. The prong includes a retaining face configured to engage the bracket and retain the clip in the closed position.

A heat exchanger includes a first header and a second header. The second header has at least a first volume and a second volume. The second header additionally includes a bend region such that the second header has a non-linear configuration. A flow restricting element is arranged within the second header within the bend region. A plurality of heat exchange tubes is arranged in spaced parallel relationship and fluidly coupling the first header and second header.

A heat exchanger and a method for additively manufacturing the heat exchanger are provided. The heat exchanger includes a housing defining a heat exchange plenum having a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet separated along a transverse direction. A plurality of heat exchange banks pass through the heat exchange plenum between a top side and a bottom side of the housing substantially along a vertical direction, each of the heat exchange banks comprising a plurality of heat exchange tubes. A plurality of collector manifolds are positioned at the top side and the bottom side of the housing, each collector manifold defining one or more connecting ports providing fluid communication between adjacent heat exchange banks.

A heat exchanger is configured to surround a fluid line which guides a heat transport fluid. The heat exchanger includes at least one elastocaloric element, which is connected to the fluid line, and at least one actuator, which acts on the elastocaloric element and is configured so as, when actuated, to exert a force on the at least one elastocaloric elements in order to deform the at least one elastocaloric element. The heat exchanger further includes at least one fastening element, which is configured to fasten the heat exchanger to the fluid line.

Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing beverage. The apparatus includes a heat exchanger to heat a fluid. The heat exchanger includes a body including a first end portion and a second end portion, and the second end portion is opposite to the first end portion. The apparatus further includes a heater embedded in the body, a first pipe installed in the body and guiding the fluid in a first direction from the first end portion of the body to the second end portion of the body, and a second pipe installed in the body and guiding the fluid output from the first pipe in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A disconnect assembly includes a solid frame comprising a slit and a first liquid coolant circuit leading to a frame outlet defined in an inner wall of the slit. The assembly further includes an insert element, insertable in the slit so as to reach a sealing position. The latter defines a shut state, in which the insert element seals the frame outlet. The assembly includes a cold plate, comprising a second liquid coolant circuit with a duct open on a side of the cold plate. The cold plate can be inserted in the slit, so as to push the insert element, for the latter to leave the sealing position and the cold plate to reach a fluid communication position. This position defines an open state, in which the duct is vis--vis the frame outlet, to enable fluid communication between the first liquid coolant circuit and the second liquid coolant circuit.
