Stacked disc heat exchanger for a thermal management module

A thermal management module, comprising:

• a stacked disc heat exchanger including a plurality of stacked discs arranged following one another in a stacking direction;
• an outermost disc, relative to the stacking direction, of the plurality of stacked discs defining a cover disc;
• the cover disc including:
• a bottom extending transversely to the stacking direction;
• at least one elongated hollow dome projecting from the bottom away from a disc of the plurality of stacked discs that is disposed adjacent to the cover disc in the stacking direction, the dome extending along the bottom transversely to the stacking direction and at least partially defining a channel through which a refrigerant is flowable;
• and
• at least one opening via which the cover disc is fluidically connectable to a thermal management module;
• a block attached to the cover disc;
• and
• at least one component attached to the block;
• wherein the block and/or the at least one component is fluidically connected with the at least one opening;
• wherein a flow path of the refrigerant extends through the heat exchanger, the block, and the at least one component;
• wherein the at least one component includes i) a collector for collecting the refrigerant, ii) a first valve, and iii) a second valve;
• and
• wherein the first valve and the second valve are each attached to the block and fluidically connected with the block.
