Abstract

Kombinierte Wärmeübertragungseinheiten zur Kühlung zweier Fluide sind bekannt.
Um jedoch ein Temperaturmanagement in einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine zu ermöglichen wird eine Wärmeübertragungseinheit vorgeschlagen, in der zusätzlich ein Bypasskanal (5) für das erste Fluid angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise weist das zweite Fluid sowohl eine wärmeübertragende Trennwand (8) zum Bypasskanal (5) auf als auch zu einem Kühlmittel durchströmten Kanal (4).
Somit ist sowohl eine Erwärmung als auch eine Abkühlung des zweiten Fluids realisierbar.
