A fluid heat exchanger with pump, adapted to drive a fluid for heat transfer, comprises a heat conduction unit, a diversion unit, and a housing unit. The heat conduction unit includes a heat conductor. The diversion unit includes a cover and a diversion plate. A cooling chamber is defined by the cover and the heat conductor. The cover is provided with a fluid stopper. The diversion plate is disposed in the cooling chamber, and one end of the diversion plate abuts against the fluid stopper, so that the cooling chamber is divided into an upper passage and a lower passage. The housing unit includes a housing and a pump module. The fluid in the housing is driven by the pump module to flow through the upper passage to the lower passage, and then the fluid returns to the housing to carry the heat from the heat conductor.

A method of forming a cast heat exchanger plate includes forming at least one hot core plate defining internal features of a one piece heat exchanger plate and at least one first set of interlocking features. At least one cold core plate is formed defining external features of the heat exchanger plate and at least one second set of interlocking features. A core assembly is assembled wherein each hot core plate is directly interlocked to the at least one cold core plate. A wax pattern is formed with the core assembly. An external shell is formed over the wax pattern. The wax pattern is removed to form a space between the core assembly and the external shell. The space is filled with a molten material and cures the molten material. The external shell is removed. The core assembly is removed. A core assembly for a cast heat exchanger is also disclosed.

Device for heat transfer between a first fluid and one second fluid includes a housing with first housing element, second housing element and heat transfer element. Housing is developed with a first connecting fitting and a second connecting fitting for each fluid. Heat transfer element is disposed in a volume completely enclosed in a housing and is developed for through-conduction of the first fluid. Housing is developed for conduction of the second fluid about the heat transfer element. Connecting fittings for second fluid are either disposed on the first housing element and the connecting fittings for the first fluid are disposed on the second housing element, wherein within the second housing at least one flow path for conducting the first fluid is implemented which extends between a connecting fitting and a collector region or the connecting fittings for the fluids are disposed on the first housing element.

The present invention relates to a heat exchanger of an exhaust heat recovery apparatus having a simple structure which is configured such that exhaust gas is evenly distributed, thereby preventing a boiling phenomenon wherein coolant water is boiling, and improving efficiency of heat exchange and durability of the apparatus.

A header box includes a first bottom plate and an unperforated cover plate. The first bottom plate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first bottom plate is of a one-piece configuration. The first surface is recessed inwardly to form a straight first hole extending along a length direction. The second surface is recessed inwardly to form at least two straight second holes extending along a width direction perpendicular to the length direction. The first hole is communicated with the at least two second holes. The cover plate is connected to the first surface to block an opening of the first hole on the first surface. A heat exchanger having the header box is also disclosed.

An exhaust gas heat exchanger may include a tube bundle and a housing through which a coolant is flowable. The tube bundle may include a plurality of exhaust gas-conducting tubes held in a first tube base and a second tube base. The housing may enclose the tube bundle and may have face ends delimited by the first tube base and the second tube base.
