A cap (20) for a header box of a heat exchanger (1), in particular for a motor vehicle, in particular a radiator, is disclosed. This cap includes a head (21), a shank (22) comprising at least one mounting thread (23), this shank being between the head and a free end of the cap, a retaining lug (30), in particular elastically deformable, arranged to retain the cap in an opening (10) of the header box in an intermediate position of the cap, in which position the cap leaves a clear passage while being retained in the opening, this retaining lug being formed on the shank.

A liquid-cooling device and an air collector thereof are provided. The air collector includes a tank, an inlet channel, an outlet channel, and a barrier plate. The inlet channel is located at one end of the tank and extended into the tank. The outlet channel is located at the other end of the tank and extended into the tank. The barrier plate is located in the tank between the inlet channel and the outlet channel. The diameter of the tank is greater than those of the inlet channel and the outlet channel.

The present disclosure provides a drain valve for a heat exchanger. The drain valve includes a plug body and a locking member. The plug body extends in an axial direction and is configured to be inserted into a discharge port of the heat exchanger. The locking member is spaced away from the plug body in a radial direction of the plug body. The locking member is configured to engage with the discharge port when the plug body is inserted into the discharge port.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger arrangement having at least one multipass heat exchanger, which comprises a first distributor (1), a second distributor (2) and at least one tubular diverter distributor (4) having a predefined tube cross-section (A.sub.U), and a tube arrangement (25) having a plurality of tubes (5) which are at least substantially parallel to one another and have a predefined tube cross-section (A.sub.R), through which a fluidparticularly, watercan flow and which are arranged in the tube arrangement (25) in columns with a predefined number of columns (n), wherein the first distributor (1) and the second distributor (2) are arranged at one end (A) of the heat exchanger arrangement and the diverter distributor (4) is arranged at the opposing end (B), and the tubes (5) extend from the one end (A) to the opposing end (B) and are connected to the diverter distributor (4) and the first or the second distributor (1, 2), and at least one vent opening (10) is arranged at a highest point (T), or at least in the vicinity of the highest point (T), of the diverter distributor (4) to equalize the pressure with the surroundings. In order to enable rapid filling of the heat exchanger arrangement with the fluid, a valve (11) is arranged in the at least one vent opening (10). When the valve (11) is fully opened, a flow cross-section (d) is clear for the passage of air, and the pipe cross-section (A.sub.U) of the diverter distributor (4) and the flow cross-section (d) of the valve (11) are the same as or greater than a minimum cross-section (D.sub.min), which is calculated from the product of the number of columns in the tube arrangement (25) and the pipe cross-section (A.sub.R) of the tubes (D.sub.min=n A.sub.R).

An electric vehicle drive unit includes an inverter, a gear box, an electric motor coupled to the inverter and to the gear box, a cooling jacket, and coupled to the gear box, a main coolant inlet, a coolant outlet, and an external passive air bleed device. The cooling jacket has a cooling chamber and surrounds at least a portion of the electric motor. The main coolant inlet couples to the cooling jacket. The coolant outlet is located at a lower portion of the gear box. The external passive air bleed device runs between an upper portion of the cooling jacket and the coolant outlet. The inverter may couple to a first side of the gear box and the electric motor may couple to a second side of the gear box such that the inverter and the electric motor reside on opposite sides of the gear box.

A vertical seed conditioner may be formed of a plurality of sections that can be individually removed for repair and/or replacement without requiring the entire seed conditioner be permanently decommissioned. For example, the seed conditioner may be formed of a plurality of heat transfer sections stacked vertically with respect to each other to form the conditioning vessel. Each heat transfer section may include an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold, and multiple heat transfer tubes extending from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold. The multiple heat transfer tubes may be spaced from each other to provide a gap between adjacent tubes through which the granular solid can travel.

A water-cooled EGR cooler is to be supplied with exhaust gas from an exhaust line and is to re-circulate the cooled exhaust gas to an intake line. A housing has an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, a coolant inlet, and a coolant outlet. A heat exchange member is disposed in the housing and includes exhaust gas passages from the exhaust inlet to the exhaust outlet at a predetermined interval and also includes a coolant passage through which coolant can flow from the coolant inlet to the coolant outlet between the exhaust gas passages. A pipe member includes a bypass passage formed between an upper surface of the heat exchange member and an inside upper surface of the housing to allow the exhaust gas to bypass the heat exchange member and flow between the upper surface of the heat exchange member and the coolant outlet.

A heat exchanger for a transformer including a heat exchanger medium, which can be introduced into a heat exchanger element via a feed element, and can be evacuated from the heat exchanging element via a discharge element. A first temperature measurement device measures a temperature of a feed flow of the heat exchanger medium and a second temperature measurement device measures a temperature of a discharge flow of the heat exchanger medium. A first opening is provided in the feed element, inside of which a first temperature probe is positioned at a predetermined location inside the feed flow during operation of the heat exchanger, and a second opening is provided in the discharge element, inside of which a second temperature probe is positioned at a predetermined location in the discharge flow during operation of the heat exchanger.
