The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a first coolant circuit which has multiple first tubes and having a second coolant circuit which has multiple second tubes, having a plate, wherein the plate has a bead, wherein the plate has a first plate region with openings for receiving the first tubes and a second plate region with openings for receiving the second tubes, having a cover which is connected to the plate, wherein the cover has a first collecting tank and a second collecting tank, wherein the first collecting tank is connected in fluid-tight fashion to the first plate region and the second collecting tank is connected in fluid-tight fashion to the second plate region, wherein the cover has, between the first and the second collecting tank, an opening for receiving the bead.

A supercharger system is disclosed herein having a front end, a rear end, an inlet and an outlet, the system contained within a housing, wherein the supercharger system includes a rotor assembly, and a plurality of intake runners that comprise an interlaced cross-runner pattern, wherein the supercharger system comprises a front drive, front inlet configuration and an inverted orientation.

A combined cycle power generation and storage system is shown. A liquid air energy storage system uses excess power to liquefy air and stores it in a liquid state. A combustion engine produces power by combustion of a carbon-based fuel along with an exhaust stream containing carbon dioxide. A heat recovery system exchanges heat from the exhaust stream to air from the liquid air storage system, and thereby produce a cooled exhaust stream and heated air. An air expansion machine recovers power by expansion of heated air from the heat recovery system. A separation system separates carbon dioxide from ambient air prior to liquefaction during operation of the liquid air energy storage system, and separates carbon dioxide from the cooled exhaust stream during operation of the combustion engine prior to emission of the cooled exhaust stream to atmosphere.

The main object of the invention is a heat exchanger including a first header plate of an inlet manifold, a second header plate of a distribution header and a heat exchange core bundle extending between the first header plate and the second header plate along a longitudinal direction, the heat exchange core bundle being defined by a shell and having a plurality of tubes arranged successively next to each other in a transverse direction, each tube being capable of cooperating with the header plates via through-holes formed in each plate. The shell has at least one longitudinal end with a straight edge configured to be in flat surface contact with at least one header plate in a contact area, the surface contact occurring mainly in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
