A heat exchange module having a first heat exchanger, configured to enable heat exchange between a first fluid and a flow of air and extending inside a first plane of overall extension, and a second heat exchanger, configured to enable heat exchange between a second fluid and the flow of air and extending inside a second plane of overall extension, is disclosed. A housing delimiting, with the first heat exchanger, a circulation channel for the flow of air is included. The module has at least one air distribution member, movable between a position in which the air distribution member allows the flow of air to pass through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, and a position in which the air distribution member prevents the flow of air from passing through the first heat exchanger while allowing the flow of air to pass through the second heat exchanger.

A heat exchanger device for a motor vehicle includes a main body, through which a temperature-control medium can flow, and a media-conveying device which passes through the main body and by which a medium to be temperature-controlled can be conveyed through the main body. As a result, the temperature of the medium to be temperature-controlled can be controlled by heat exchange with the temperature-control medium. The main body is produced in an integral injection molding process, as a result of which the main body is closed on the periphery and open-pored in the interior.

A heat exchanger includes tubes arranged side by side, and a tank connected to ends of the tubes. The heat exchanger performs heat exchange between a first fluid flowing inside the tubes and a second fluid flowing outside the tubes. The heat exchanger includes a closing member disposed inside the tank and partially closing an opening provided at an end of a predetermined tube that is at least one of the tubes. The predetermined tube has a protrusion formed at the end of the predetermined tube. The closing member has an avoiding structure that avoids interference between the protrusion and the closing member.

The present invention relates to a tube (1) with a reservoir of phase-change material for a heat exchange bundle (100) of a heat exchanger, said tube (1) with a reservoir of phase-change material including: two flow plates (3) which are configured to be assembled with one another in a fluid-tight fashion and form at least one duct (31) in which a first heat-transfer fluid flows between said flow plates (3), at least one reservoir plate (5) including cavities (51), said reservoir plate (5) being configured so that it can be assembled in fluid-tight fashion on an external face of one of the two flow plates (3) so as to close the cavities (51) and form housings for the phase-change material, said cavities (51) projecting from the external face of the reservoir plate (5) so that that a second heat-transfer fluid can circulate between said cavities (51).

A heat exchanger having a fins and tubes heat exchanger coupled to a plates heat exchanger and an open sided bypass compartment facing one of the edges of the fin and tubes heat exchanger. The plates heat exchanger has an inlet zone and an outlet zone. The heat exchanger is configured to guide a fluid to flow from the inlet zone, through inlet pathways between plates of the plates heat exchanger, and fins of the fins and tubes heat exchanger then toward the bypass compartment, then in between the fins facing outlet pathways, toward in between the surfaces of the plates facing the outlet pathways, and then toward the outlet zone.

A process for manufacturing a cast metal heat exchanger housing (12) for a vehicle heater having a pot-shape housing wall (14) extending in a direction of a housing longitudinal axis (L) and having a plurality of heat transfer ribs (22) extending on an outer side of the housing wall (14) in the area of a circumferential wall (16) and in the area of a bottom wall (18) of the housing wall (14) in the direction of the housing longitudinal axis (L). The process includes metal casting wherein a sprue cross-sectional area including at least some of the heat transfer ribs (22). The cast metal heat exchanger housing has an axial end face formed upon cutting off metallic material that is essentially at right angles to the housing longitudinal axis and extends into an area of at least some of the heat transfer ribs.

A heater core assembly (10) comprising: a core (12) comprising a plurality of micro-tubes (13A, 13B), the plurality of micro-tubes (13A, 13B) being stacked in horizontal rows (15) between at least two headers (18) by inserting ends of each of the micro-tubes (13A,13B) into slots (42A, 42B) provided in the headers (18); a partition plate (30) disposed vertically in each of header (18) to define two vertical chambers (18A, 18B); wherein each of the horizontal rows (15) include at least one first micro-tube (13A) inserted in the first chamber (18A) and at least second micro-tube (13B) inserted in the second chamber (18B) to enable flow of the coolant in the core assembly (10).

A refrigerant heat exchanger including a first group of heat exchange tubes on a first side of a core defining a first zone. A second group of heat exchange tubes on a second side of the core define a second zone. An inlet tank is at the inlet end of the core. An inlet port of the inlet tank is opposite to, or generally opposite to, an interface between the first zone and the second zone. A first outlet tank is at the outlet end of the core opposite to the first zone. A first outlet port of the first outlet tank is at an outer end of the first outlet tank. A second outlet tank is at the outlet end of the core opposite to the second zone. A second outlet port of the second outlet tank is at an outer end of the second outlet tank.
