- Cooling media which is why this is classified as less efficient.
- the same problems arise in the application for cooling / tempering for batteries and other electronic components.
- the available space complicates the implementation of conventional cooling / Temperiereauen with tempering.
- Cooling channels can be formed by assembling a housing of several parts. In one half of the housing while the exposed structure of the cooling channels is shown, the other housing half closes the cooling channels, or modifications of this construction described.
- cooling channels can be created by means of cores, cast-in pipes or in a subsequent processing step. All variants are subject to geometric constraints, such that cooling channels are subject to a restriction in length-to-diameter ratio and shape complexity.
- lost cores can furthermore be used in order to produce casting structures with complex hollow structures. Due to their low strength, the cores are subject to geometric restrictions. Thus, no arbitrary ratio between length, diameter and complexity of the cavity can be set within the cast component.
- Battery systems for electrically driven vehicles require a controllable cooling system, which is additionally implemented by the cooling system. brought weight at the expense of the range of the vehicle goes and should be minimized.
- cooling manifolds are formed between individual laminations of a stator core.
- DE 11 2012 003 041 describes the production of microchannels by means of diffusion welding and / or brazing, whereby a complete channel separation and the resistance to the prevailing operating pressure is achieved.
- DE 10 2011 056 905 Al microchannels are applied in metallic surfaces and sealed by deposition.
- DE 11 2006 0000 160 describes the formation of microchannels by employing an ablation method and arrangement of several layers.

- a casting formed from the casting material is removed from the cavity, with the end of the at least one fiber protruding from the cavity protruding from the casting.
- the at least one fiber is pulled out of the casting at the end protruding from the casting so that where the fiber has run in the casting, a cavity forming the microchannel remains.
- the microchannel By using a fiber for the production of the microchannel, it is possible to design the microchannel with a complex profile, that is, for example, to generate one or more bends in the microchannel. Due to the flexibility of the fiber, it can be pulled even if it contains one or more bends or bends. Furthermore, a diameter of the channel can be kept particularly low. In the component available space can be optimally utilized.
- the at least one fiber may, for example, have a diameter which is about 5 ⁇ m. The diameter can also be more than 5 ⁇ and For example, be at most a few hundred ⁇ , about 500 ⁇ maximum.
- the at least one fiber is typically at least 1 mm long. It may be that the length of the at least one fiber is at most a few hundred mm, about 500 mm at most, in order to be able to remove the fiber still well.
- a bending radius of the at least one fiber, when arranged in the cavity is at least ten times the diameter of the fiber.
- 0.5 mm may be provided as the smallest bending radius. By such bending radii, the tearing off of the at least one fiber can be prevented.

- the fiber is typically chosen so that its temperature resistance is at least 750 ° C.

- the at least one fiber may be formed, for example, as glass fiber, such as S-glass or E-glass, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, mineral fiber or metallic fiber. These materials have been found to be particularly suitable to avoid the cohesive connection with the casting material.
- a tensile force for pulling out the at least one fiber can be controlled or regulated.
- the force can thus be varied in particular during extraction to avoid tearing off the at least one fiber. This may be indicated, for example, when the fiber has a curved or angled course.
- the at least one fiber comprises a plurality of fibers which are provided as yarn, hybrid yarn, fiber bundles, rovings or braid.
- a micro-channel with accordingly larger diameter can be achieved and, on the other hand, extraction can be simplified because the elements mentioned can be compressible compared to single fibers.

Holes in the casting caused by the at least one core mark can then be closed, for example, before the removal of the at least one core mark, for example by introducing casting material into the holes.
- At least one wire for fixing and / or deflecting the fiber may be provided in the cavity, wherein the at least one wire is formed of aluminum or of a material which is suitable for entering into a cohesive connection with the casting material used or in Solution to go.
- the wire designed in this way then connects with the casting material introduced into the cavity in a solid and media-tight manner and does not have to be removed. If the Wire is not completely in solution with the casting material, it may remain in some embodiments as a foreign body in the casting without significantly affect its performance or lead to a structural weakening of the casting.

- the at least one fiber is infiltrate with a temperature-stable matrix material, preferably water glass or silicate adhesive.
- the at least one fiber is typically introduced into a forming tool in an upstream process and infiltrated with the temperature-stable matrix material in order to produce prefabricated preforms which can assume a maximally complex shape.
- the fiber produced in this way is dimensionally stable and may have a curved or angled course. It may then be provided in the cavity, with the advantage that no wires or core marks or at least fewer wires and core marks are needed for the bent or angled barrel than for flexible fibers.
- the fiber can then be fixed only by means of a frame or only by means of wires or core marks.
- One degree of infiltration is chosen so that on the one hand sufficient dimensional stability exists and on the other hand the removal of the infiltrated fiber or fibers is possible by pulling out of the casting.

- the invention relates to the use of the casting described herein.
- the design of the channels made in the manner described, in particular their small diameter and typically complex shape may result in certain types of use being advantageous.
- cooling media may be used that have a low boiling point and that flow through the microchannels in a gaseous manner, at least during part of the use.
- Liquid media suffer a considerable pressure loss in channels of small cross-section and therefore require correspondingly higher pressures, pump capacities and, consequently, a higher energy consumption when used in microchannels. This reduces the overall system in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- the cooling medium can be selected according to the application temperatures relevant to the application.
- the cooling medium is typically at a low pre-pressure at the entrance of the microchannels.
- a cooling medium can be introduced, for example, in the liquid state of matter into the at least one microchannel.

- R123a or ammonia can be used.
- the boiling point of the coolant can be selectively influenced by the form.
- refrigerants can be used for high efficiency, easy detectability, avoidance of ozone damage, etc. to be selected.
- the possible transition into the gaseous phase results in a high enthalpy absorption and thus a high cooling capacity.
- the transition to the gaseous state results in an increase in volume, which results in an increase in pressure in the system.
- the gaseous cooling medium is thus driven through the cooling channel without an increase in the admission pressure.
- the cooling process can also take place, for example, according to the thermosiphon or heat pipe principle or according to the principle of a refrigeration machine.
