The invention relates to an indirect-type air cooler by way of which compressed charge air for an internal-combustion engine is cooled by means of a liquid, wherein the air cooler is constructed from stacked pairs of plates having fins which are disposed therebetween, and the brazed stack is disposed in a housing into which the charge air flows, flows through the fins and exits the housing again. The charge air exchanges heat with the liquid which flows in the plate pairs and which is introducible into the plate pairs via at least one inlet and via inlet-side plate openings which are flush in the stack and is dischargeable via at least one outlet by means of flush outlet-side plate openings. In order to further improve the performance potential of the air cooler, at least one venting element which extends to the exterior through an opening of the housing is connected to a liquid space within the stack.

Various embodiments of an apparatus that simultaneously cools and thermally decouples adjacent electrically-driven devices in close proximity are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus comprises a first non-silicon heat sink and a first silicon-based heat sink disposed on the first non-silicon heat sink.

This document describes inlet and outlet channels for a heat exchanger that provides a compact profile with consistent cooling performances among heat exchanger plates. For example, a manifold of a cooling system includes an inlet channel and an outlet channel designed to connect to multiple plates of a heat exchanger. The inlet and outlet channels include a junction portion, a connection portion, and a transfer portion. The junction portion includes opposing inclined contact surfaces that are inclined relative to a horizontal plane of the plates and mate with corresponding inclined contact surfaces of the plates. The connection portion accepts coolant hoses. The transfer portion is located between the junction portion and connection portions. The described channels of the manifold are especially useful for automotive applications that generally have tight assembly spaces.
