Heat exchanger module

An internal combustion engine comprising at least one heat exchanger module including:

• a heat exchanger arranged on a base plate and configured to control the temperature of a fluid via a heat transfer medium;
• at least one additional unit arranged on the base plate and structured as at least one of a pump and a filter device;
• a fluid inflow duct and a fluid outflow duct disposed in the base plate through which the fluid is flowable;
• and
• a medium inflow duct and a medium outflow duct disposed in the base plate through which the heat transfer medium is flowable;
• wherein the at least one additional unit includes at least one inflow line and at least one outflow line disposed in the base plate and fluidically separated within the base plate from the fluid inflow duct, the medium inflow duct, the fluid outflow duct, and the medium outflow duct;
• wherein the base plate includes a first wall area and the heat exchanger includes a second wall area, the first wall area and the second wall area together providing at least one of the at least one inflow line and the at least one outflow line;
• wherein the at least one inflow line and the at least one outflow line are arranged outside as well as below the heat exchanger;
• and
• wherein the at least one inflow line and the at least one outflow line are at least partially integrated into the base plate without being in fluid communication with the fluid inflow duct, the medium inflow duct, the fluid outflow duct, and the medium outflow duct.
