Abstract

Kombinierte Wärmeübertragungseinheiten zur Kühlung zweier Fluide sind bekannt.Combined heat transfer units for cooling two fluids are known.

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).However, in order to enable temperature management in an internal combustion engine, a heat transfer unit is proposed, in which additionally a bypass channel (5) for the first fluid is arranged. Preferably, the second fluid has both a heat-transferring partition (8) to the bypass channel (5) and to a coolant-flow channel (4).

Somit ist sowohl eine Erwärmung als auch eine Abkühlung des zweiten Fluids realisierbar.

Figure imgaf001
Thus, both heating and cooling of the second fluid can be realized.
