A screen for brazing a heat exchanger including a plurality of core plates and a base plate. The plurality of core plates may be formed from an aluminum alloy brazing sheet containing magnesium and may have a shape having a taper portion at a periphery. The base plate may be larger and thicker than a core plate of the plurality of core plates. The plurality of core plates and the base plate may be heated and brazed under an inert gas atmosphere. The screen may include a metal tube enclosing a stacked body of the plurality of core plates. The tube may follow the outer border of the plurality of core plates such that a specific minute gap is defined between an inner wall face of the tube and a tip edge of the taper portion.

The present invention relates to a heat exchanger apparatus for a combustion engine. The apparatus comprises a heat exchanger comprising at least one magnetic component; and an induction heater positioned adjacent at least one magnetic component of the heat exchanger. The induction heater is connectable to a power supply to provide inductive heating to the heat exchanger.

A brazing sheet may be used for brazing under an atmosphere of an inert gas without flux. The brazing sheet may include at least three layers. The at least three layers may include a core material, a brazing material layer, and an intermediate layer. The at least three layers may be cladded by an outermost layer of the brazing material layer. The intermediate layer may be disposed on a face of the core material. The core material may be composed of a first aluminum alloy including at least one of (i) 0.20 weight % to 1.0 weight % of Cu, (ii) 0.8 weight % to 1.8 weight % of Mn, and (iii) 0.25 weight % to 1.5 weight % of Mg. The intermediate layer may be composed of a second aluminum alloy including 0.20 weight % or less of each of Si and Fe and 0.10 weight % or less of each of Cu, Mn, and Cr.

An oil temperature control assembly mounts on a vehicle's operating group fluidically connected to an oil circulation system and a cooling system. A heat exchanger has plate-shaped exchanger elements defining reciprocally alternate ducts through which oil and refrigerant fluid flow, and a support and oil control device. The support and oil control device has a plate-shaped base element including the oil inlet and outlet ducts having a first surface in contact and engageable by the heat exchanger and a second opposite surface. The support and oil control device includes a control group having a housing body projecting from the first surface next to the heat exchanger having a housing cavity fluidically connected to the inlet and outlet ducts and an exchanger duct and a valve member in the housing cavity including an obturator element and a control element which moves the obturator element according to oil operating conditions.

A heat control device (1) comprises: a radiator (12) that cools cooling water for cooling a vehicle engine (11); a transmission (13) that transmits the power generated at the engine (11); an air-cooling type oil cooler (14) that cools the transmission oil for cooling the transmission (13) by heat exchange with the air outside the vehicle; a water-cooling type oil cooler (15) that cools the transmission oil by heat exchange with the cooling water; and a flow path switching unit (16) that switches between causing the transmission oil to flow into the air-cooling type oil cooler (14), or causing the transmission oil to flow into the water-cooling type oil cooler (15).

Embodiments of a hydraulic reservoir cooler include a backward curve centrifugal fan located rearward of a vented front cover of the cooler, the centrifugal fan having a center point “c” and a radius “r”; and a core area including fins and a manifold in fluid communication with a hydraulic fluid tank, the core area being located between the vented front cover and the backward curve centrifugal fan and including: a straight vertical portion extending in height less than an uppermost upper end of the centrifugal fan; a straight horizontal portion located above the uppermost upper end of the centrifugal fan; and a curved portion connecting the straight vertical and horizontal portions, the curved portion having a center point “C” and a radius “R”; where C is located above c and R is greater than r. The cooler may be adapted for use with an agricultural pumper truck.

A cover for a heat source according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first portion covering at least a portion of the heat source, and a second portion including a first latch and a second latch. Each of the first and second latches are configured to engage a fluid conduit. An assembly is also disclosed.

A header plate includes slots to receive heat exchange tubes of a heat exchanger. Each slot includes a lip extending in a direction of the tubes. Each slot has straight sides and corners. At least two tabs extend from each lip. One tab is on one side of each lip, and another tab is on an opposite side of each lip. Tabs are absent from the corners of the lip. Each tab is turned out from the lip so that the tabs on the lip act as a lead in for a tube entering the slot. Each slot has two long sides opposite one another. At least one tab is on each long side of the lip.

A heat exchanger core includes a medium inlet and a medium outlet for the heat transfer fluid to be cooled and a plurality of plates extending from a first end (A) to a second end (B) of the heat exchanger core and defining flow conduits therebetween from the medium inlet to the medium outlet. The core also has a plurality of fins between the plates for directing a coolant medium across the flow conduit. One of the flow conduits has a larger cross-section than the other flow conduits, and the inlet is provided at a first end of the one of the flow conduits adjacent the first end of the heat exchanger core, or between the first end and the second end.

The heat exchanger comprises a first and a second stage (E1,E2), each having an inlet and an outlet of water, the second stage (E2) having an inlet and an outlet of oil, the first stage (E1) being provided with fuel inlet and outlet nozzles, selectively connected, in parallel, to the fuel supply to the engine (M). The inlet and outlet of water of the first stage (E1) are respectively connected to the outlet of the water radiator, by means of a cooling water circuit internal to the engine (M), and to the water inlet of the second stage (E2). The water outlet of the second stage (E2) is connected to the inlet of a water radiator, and the inlet and outlet of oil in the second stage (E2) are connected in series to a lubricant oil circuit internal to the engine (M).
