The invention concerns a seal (5) for sealing off the gap between a heat exchanger (1) and the inside wall of a groove (7) in a fluid channel for accommodating said heat exchanger [1], the seal (5) comprising at least one fixing member (51, 52) for fixing the seal (5) on at least part of the circumference of the heat exchanger (1) and at least a first (53) and second lip (54) adapted to contact opposite sides (71, 72) of the groove (7) to thereby seal off the gap between the heat exchanger (1) and the fluid channel and to fix said at least part of the circumference of the heat exchanger (1) inside the groove (7).

The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, having a heat exchange bundle, at least one fluid connection block for entry or exit of at least one fluid in the heat exchange bundle and an end plate configured to interact with the at least one fluid connection block by means of an opening. At least one part of the fluid connection block is laterally offset with respect to a circulation wall of the end plate.

A heat transfer unit for a motor vehicle may include a metallic heat transfer block and a base plate. The heat transfer block may include channels that are configured to be flowed through. The base plate may include an outer region and a material bonding region. The base plate may be exposed towards the outside and may be materially bonded to the heat transfer block in the material bonding region. The base plate may be formed out of an aluminium, an aluminium alloy, or a wrought aluminium alloy. The outer region of the base plate may comprise a protective coating produced by anodising at least in regions, and the material bonding region of the base plate may not have a protective coating produced by anodising.

A heat exchanger with a core part; an upper reinforcing plate which is disposed on the upper side of the core part in the height direction and in which a first fixing/matching section is formed; a pair of lateral reinforcing plates disposed on both sides of the core part in the longitudinal direction, the upper side of at least one of the two lateral reinforcing plates being coupled to the first fixing/matching section of the upper reinforcing plate, and a second fixing/matching section being formed on the lower side of each of the lateral reinforcing plates; and a lower reinforcing plate disposed on the lower side of the core part in the height direction, and both sides of which are coupled to the second fixing/matching sections of the pair of lateral reinforcing plates, wherein each of components can be correctly positioned, and thus productivity and assemblability are improved.

A modular system for heat exchange between fluids includes two end plates. At least one end plate is configured with inlets and outlets for fluids. The modular system includes a number of heat exchanger elements and a number of guiding elements. Each heat exchanger element includes a folded sheet material including a plurality of slits extending in a longitudinal direction of the folded sheet material, which longitudinal extending slits form the fluids flow paths. The folded sheet material is cast in one piece in an outer casing. A central opening of the outer casing covers an outer circumference of the folded sheet material, exposing a front side and a back side of the folded sheet material where two through holes, forming the inlets and outlets for each fluid, are provided on opposite sides of the central opening of the outer casing. Each guiding element includes two inlets and two outlets for fluids, and a bead or edge, provided on one side, forming an enclosure around the inlet and outlet for a first fluid, and a bead or edge on an opposite side, forming an enclosure around the inlet and outlet for a second fluid. Heat exchanger elements and guiding elements are arranged successively following each other. The heat exchanger elements are arranged that two adjacent heat exchanger elements on sides facing each other carry the same fluid.

A heat-radiation apparatus includes a housing and a plurality of heat-radiation modules which are aligned in a vertically-slanted manner with a predetermined inclination angle to a vertical line in the housing. A plurality of heat-radiation modules includes a plurality of heat exchangers which is aligned together in parallel and equipped with a plurality of fans to parallelize axial lines thereof with each other. In a manufacturing method of the heat-radiation apparatus, the number of heat-radiation modules is adjusted according to a radiation amount which is determined in advance.

A retention member for use in a refrigerator that includes an evaporator fin, a number of evaporator coils, a heater, and a bracket. The bracket includes a first portion extending in a first direction and defines a first aperture configured to receive a portion of a first evaporator coil of the number of evaporator coils. The bracket includes a second portion extending from the first portion to a first end in a second direction substantially transverse to the first direction. A tab extends from the second portion in the first direction. The tab is spaced apart from the first portion by a first distance to prevent or mitigate movement of the second evaporator coil of the number of evaporator coils.

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.

Aircraft turbine engines are controlled by complex electronic devices such as FADEC and PSS units. These devices can be adversely impacted by the engine environment including the condensing of evaporated water. Aspects of the present disclosure include unique heat exchangers to control the temperature of these electronic devices to assure their proper operation.
