A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle that includes at least two flat tubes and at least two corrugated fins. The flat tubes and the corrugated fins are stacked alternately one above the other in a height direction (HR) to form a stack. The flat tubes and the corrugated fins are displaced in the stack in such a way that a central height axis (HMA) of the stack is aligned at an inclination angle (NW) to the height direction (HR).

A temperature control system includes a heater core utilizing heat of a heat medium; an engine heat exchanger utilizing exhaust heat of an engine to heat the heat medium; a condenser utilizing heat other than the exhaust heat to heat the heat medium; a heat circuit having the heater core and condenser; a communication flow path making the engine heat exchanger communicate with the heat circuit; and a connection state switching mechanism switching a flow state of the heat medium, between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the heat medium flows through the heat circuit, while flowing through the heater core, and in the second state, the heat medium flows through the heat circuit without flowing through the heater core. The heat circuit is arranged at a front of a passenger compartment, and the engine heat exchanger is arranged at a rear of the compartment.

A heat pump system for a vehicle may adjust a temperature of a battery module by use of one chiller that performs heat exchange between a refrigerant and a coolant, and improve heating efficiency by use of waste heat generated from an electrical component and the battery module, in increasing the flow rate of the refrigerant by operating the gas injection unit in the heating mode or the heating/dehumidification mode of the vehicle, thereby reducing power consumption of a compressor and maximizing heating performance.

A combined heat exchanger module includes a first upper tank introducing cooling water into the combined heat exchanger module, a lower tank introducing the cooling water into or discharging the cooling water from the combined heat exchanger module, a second upper tank for discharging the cooling water from the combined heat exchanger module, first heat radiating channels connected with the first upper tank and the lower tank, second heat radiating channels connected with the lower tank and the second upper tank, and thermoelectric elements, in which each of the thermoelectric elements has a first surface in contact with the second heat radiating channels and a second surface exposed to air, thereby performing heating of air by use of both the cooling water and the thermoelectric elements or performing cooling of the cooling water by use of the thermoelectric elements.

Heat-energy exchange device having a first and a second plat heat exchanger, each plate heat exchanger being configured to allow exchanges of heat energy between at least two heat-transfer fluids at different temperatures. The exchange device further includes a distribution member sandwiched between the first and second plate heat exchangers, said distribution member including a series of channels made within it, said channels connecting inlets and outlets of heat-transfer fluid of the first and second plate heat exchangers to connection orifices positioned on said distribution member.

A temperature control system includes a heater core utilizing heat of a heat medium; an engine heat exchanger utilizing exhaust heat of an engine to heat the heat medium; a condenser utilizing heat other than the exhaust heat to heat the heat medium; a heat circuit having the heater core and condenser; a communication flow path making the engine heat exchanger communicate with the heat circuit; and a connection state switching mechanism switching a flow state of the heat medium, between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the heat medium flows through the heat circuit, while flowing through the heater core, and in the second state, the heat medium flows through the heat circuit without flowing through the heater core. The heat circuit is arranged at a front of a passenger compartment, and the engine heat exchanger is arranged at a rear of the compartment.

An aerodynamic vehicle includes an aerodynamic heat exchanger formed as one or more body panels disposed along an outer surface of the vehicle having one or more fluidic chambers or micro-channels. The aerodynamic heat exchanger is adapted to provide effective and highly efficient heat transfer, and also to provide substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag. The aerodynamic heat exchanger may provide adequate heat rejection capacity throughout vehicle operating conditions that advantageously results in increased fuel economy and overall vehicle performance.

Heat exchanger of an air-conditioning system of a cabin of a transport vehicle, comprising: a primary circuit supplied by a first air flow (169), a secondary circuit supplied by a second air flow (168), a casing (161) defining an air-circulation enclosure (162), a primary circuit inlet box (164) allowing entry into said air-circulation enclosure, and a primary circuit outlet box (165) allowing exit from the air-circulation enclosure, characterized in that said inlet box (164) is mounted removably on said casing (161), and in that it houses a three-dimensional structure (163) forming a catalytic and/or adsorbent support for treating the air of said primary circuit, and a means for distributing said first air flow into said heat-exchange matrix.

A first header tank and a second header tank of a cold-storage heat exchanger are located away from each other. Refrigerant tubes include refrigerant passages through which the first header tank and the second header tank communicate with each other. The refrigerant tubes are spaced away from each other. Cold energy containers storing cold energy storage members are provided to close air passage portions defined between the refrigerant pipes. A region including the air passage portions are separated into a first region including a center part of the region and a second region that is remaining part of the region. A proportion of the cold energy containers in the second region is larger than that in the first region.

An evaporator with a cool storage function includes a first refrigerant flow tube, a second refrigerant flow tube, a cold storage material container, and a heat conductor. The cold storage material container is provided between the first refrigerant flow tube and the second refrigerant flow tube. The heat conductor is provided in the cold storage material container. The heat conductor includes a base plate, first projections, and second projections. The base plate is apart from a first container wall and a second container wall of the cold storage material container. The first projections project from the base plate toward the first container wall to contact the first container wall. The second projections project from the base plate toward the second container wall to contact the second container wall.
