HEAT EXCHANGER FIXING STRUCTURE OF AIR CONDITIONER
A heat exchanger fixing structure, for two or more heat exchangers bent in multiple layers, includes two or more plates respectively fixed to one ends of the two or more heat exchangers, wherein portions of the two or more plates may overlap each other, and the two or more heat exchangers are connected and fixed to each other by fastening a fastening member to the overlapping portions.
Cooling Device for a Stator of an Electrical Machine, Electrical Machine and Motor Vehicle
A cooling device for a stator of an electrical machine, for fitting together with a hollow cylindrical laminated core of the stator, includes multiple cooling channels for conducting cooling fluid along the laminated core, and a fluid ring for provision on an end face of the laminated core. The fluid ring has two fluid ring channels for distributing the cooling fluid to the cooling channels and for receiving the cooling fluid from the cooling channels, and at least two cooling fluid connections for introducing and removing the cooling fluid into and from the fluid ring channels. The fluid ring channels have circumferential-angle-dependent flow cross-sections in the flow direction, in order to evenly distribute the cooling fluid to the cooling channels.
