Heat exchanging module (1) comprising at least a heat exchanger (2) between two fluids and a housing (6), said housing (6) having at least an inner frame (20) and an outer frame (60), the inner frame (20) being arranged for holding the heat exchanger (2), the outer frame (60) being arranged for holding the inner frame (20), characterized in that the inner frame (20) and the outer frame (60) are separated by a non-null distance (100) configured to form a thermal isolation between the heat exchanger (2) and a surrounding environment of the housing (6).

A heat exchanger assembly includes: a frame; a heat exchanger panel mounted to the frame and configured to exchange heat with air flowing therethrough, the heat exchanger panel being disposed at an inclined orientation; a fan assembly disposed vertically above the heat exchanger panel; and a sound dampening device disposed within an interior space of the heat exchanger assembly such that air is pulled into the interior space through the heat exchanger panel and then flows through the sound dampening device before being discharged from the heat exchanger assembly via the fan assembly. The sound dampening device includes baffle members having sound absorbing material and spaced apart from one another for allowing air flow therebetween. Each baffle member extends at an angle relative to a plane extending through the upper and lower ends of the heat exchanger panel so as to direct air flow upwardly toward the fan assembly.

A heat-exchange device (2) for a laundry treatment machine includes a first heat exchanger (4) and a second heat exchanger (6) that are disposed successively along a flow path (10) of process air in an operating state of the heat-exchange device (2), and are connected to each other by a connecting plate (8). The first heat exchanger (4) includes a first side plate (12), and the second heat exchanger (6) includes a second side plate (14), wherein the first and the second side plates (12, 14) are each disposed on a side of the heat-exchange device (2) opposite the connecting plate (8) and are disconnected at least in a pre-installation state of the heat-exchange device (2). A base module is configured to fix the relative position of the first and second heat exchangers (4, 6) with respect to each other.

A heat exchanger assembly includes a heat exchanger panel disposed at an inclined orientation. A fan assembly is disposed vertically above the heat exchanger panel and includes a fan impeller connected to a fan mount. The fan impeller is sized and positioned such that part of the fan impeller rotates vertically above the upper end of the heat exchanger panel. A casing has a plurality of inner walls for guiding air from the heat exchanger panel toward the fan assembly. The inner walls include a sloped wall. A distance between an upper end of the sloped wall and a fan rotation axis is greater than a distance between a lower end of the sloped wall and the fan rotation axis. The sloped wall is adjacent to the upper end of the heat exchanger panel such that the part of the fan impeller rotates vertically above the sloped wall.

A heat exchanger module adapted for being mounted directly to the outer surface of the housing of an automobile system component, such as a transmission or engine housing, is provided. The heat exchanger module has a heat exchanger fixedly attached to an adapter module. The adapter module contains one of more fluid transfer channels and includes a portion that extends outwardly beyond the footprint of the heat exchanger. The adapter module is comprised of a first embossed plate that is sealed with a second plate, which may also be embossed. The embossments provide fluid transfer channels and also perform as structural ribs to enhance the rigidity of the adapter module.

An assembly includes a valve integration unit attached to a transmission oil heater. The valve integration unit includes a valve mechanism and a housing having first to sixth fluid ports for oil input and output. The interior space of the housing has a valve chamber to receive a thermal valve mechanism has a temperature responsive actuator. A bypass flow passage is located outside the heat exchanger and is in fluid communication with oil inlet and outlet manifolds through first and second bypass holes provided in the heat exchanger.

A method of cleaning an evaporator of an ice maker can include activating a switch of the ice maker in a first manual intervention of an overall cleaning procedure to initiate the overall cleaning procedure; sounding an audible alarm to alert a user that a second manual intervention is required; pouring a cleaning fluid into a tank of the evaporator case in the second manual intervention; automatically initiating and completing one of a cleaning stage and a sanitizing stage upon completion of the second manual intervention, automatically initiating the one of the cleaning stage and the sanitizing stage including operating a cleaning valve of a water circuit of the ice maker by a main controller of the ice maker; and automatically initiating and completing a rinsing stage.

A heat exchanger assembly includes first and second heat exchangers integrated with a thermally actuated control valve assembly having first and second surfaces to which the first and heat exchangers are attached at various orientations to each other, including at 90 and 180 degrees to each other, and side-by-side. The valve assembly has two fluid ports for connection to an external fluid source, and two fluid ports in fluid communication with inlet and outlet manifolds of each heat exchanger. The heat exchangers may be a transmission oil heater and a transmission oil cooler, and the valve assembly controls the flow of transmission oil to the heat exchangers depending on the oil temperature. One or both of the heat exchangers may be brazed or mechanically secured to the valve assembly. The housing of valve assembly may be segmented, with each heat exchanger being brazed to one of the segments.

A connection between one end of a Multi Port Extrusion (MPE) tube (1) of aluminium or an aluminium alloy and one header (2), the connection comprises an adapter (3) with a seal ring (4) fixed between the MPE tube and the header. The invention also relates to a method for connecting said parts.
