A stub connection for a heat exchanger that is arranged in a housing and has a stack including plates and fins. The housing consists of housing parts which can be joined together, and at least one first stub for a first heat-exchanging medium being integrated directly into the housing. The stub connection also includes at least one second stub for a second heat-exchanging medium that extends to outside the housing. The at least one second stub is configured for the connection of a line and is integrated directly or indirectly into the housing.

A heat exchanger includes a heat exchange body 2, at least one cover 4 and a manifold 3 connecting the cover 4 to the heat exchange body 2. The heat exchange body 2 is delimited by at least one blanking plate 6. The manifold 3 includes a base plate 20 surrounded by an edge 21 for fixing the cover 4, and the fixing edge 21 is formed by a double-thickness wall 22, one end 23 of which is at least partially fixed to the blanking plate 6.

A gas/liquid heat exchanger for cooling a hot gas has a plastic housing at least partly surrounding a metal core. The housing has separately formed inlet and outlet segments which may be formed from plastic materials having different heat resistance, and which are joined together along a sealed joint. One or both of the inlet and outlet segments are provided with bypass blocking element to at least partially blocks any gaps between the irregularly shaped sides of the core and the sides of the housing. Where the sides of the core include indentations, the bypass blocking elements may comprise a comb structure having fingers extending into the indentations. The housing is constructed to permit the core to be slidingly received into one or both of the inlet segment and the outlet segment of the housing.

A heat exchanger including a stack of tubes, a cover plate, and a housing in which the stack of tubes is arranged. The housing includes first, second, and third adjacent housing sides having a respective first, second, and third housing openings each having a edge around the respective housing opening. The second housing opening is closed by the edge of the cover plate on the edge of the second housing opening. The housing further includes first and second exposed struts. The first exposed strut is positioned between the first and the second housing openings and the second exposed strut is positioned between the second and the third housing openings, and a first side of an edge of the cover plate is fastened to the first exposed strut and a second side of the edge of the cover plate is fasted to the second exposed strut.

A heat exchanger with a heat-exchange core in which a first fluid and a second fluid circulate, at least one header tank configured to duct the second fluid from or to the heat-exchange core. The header tank has at least a shoulder oriented toward the outside of said header tank, and at least one header tank corner. At least one fastening member for fastening the header tank is positioned at least partly at the periphery of the heat-exchange core and includes at least one peripheral groove delimited by a base wall and a lateral wall and in which the shoulder of the header tank is at least partially housed. Part of the corner portion faces an upper face of the shoulder opposite to the groove of the fastening member and at a non-zero distance from this upper face so that a space is left between the corner portion and the upper face of the shoulder.

A stacked-plate heat exchanger may include a high temperature coolant circuit having a first coolant flow therethrough, and a low-temperature coolant circuit having a second coolant flow therethrough, the first and second coolants having different temperature levels. The heat exchanger may also have heat exchanger plates stacked one on another, the first and second coolants flowing through the heat exchanger plates on one side, and a medium to be cooled flowing through the heat exchanger plates on another side. The heat exchanger plates may have an embossed partition separating the high-temperature coolant circuit and the low-temperature coolant circuit.

A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger core, an intake tank, and a flow limiting portion. The heat exchanger core includes a stacked heat exchange portion, a distribution portion, and a collection portion. The stacked heat exchange portion defines first fluid flow paths through which a first fluid flows in a first direction, and second fluid flow paths through which a second fluid flows in a third direction. The distribution portion is configured to distribute the first fluid to the first fluid flow paths. The collection portion is configured to collect the first fluid from the first fluid flow paths. The flow limiting portion is configured to suppress an inflow of the second fluid from the intake tank into the distribution portion and the collection portion. The flow limiting portion and the intake tank are provided as a single component.

A radiator-intercooler integrated module and a vehicle including the same are provided. The radiator-intercooler integrated module includes a low-temperature radiator and a water cooled intercooler of the vehicle which are integrated into a single body.

A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle may include a tube block and a flange. The tube block may multiple first medium channels and multiple second medium channels. The first and the second medium channels may extend from an inlet of the tube block to an outlet of the tube block. A medium to be cooled may flow through the first medium channels. A cooling medium may flow through the second medium channels. The flange may be configured to receive the tube block about the outlet in a fluid-tight manner. The flange may be plate-like and may have a surrounding bolting region that may be formed about the tube block.

The invention relates to a charge air cooler (5) for fuel engine comprising: a casing having an inlet (16) and an outlet (20), a heat exchanger (10) within the casing between the inlet (16) and the outlet (20), a thermally responsive draining mechanism (50, 60) for draining condensates, the draining mechanism (50, 60) being configured to drain condensates when temperature within the charge air cooler (5) is below a defined temperature, draining mechanism comprising a drain port (58, 68), a valve (51, 61, 52, 62, 53, 63) arranged on the drain port (58, 68), an actuation device (53, 63, 64) for moving the valve between an opened state and a closed state,
wherein the actuation device includes a phase change material.
