Abstract
A sump and heat exchanger module may include a housing shell and a cover. The housing shell may at least partially define an internal space. The housing shell may include a sump section configured to receive at least a portion of a sump and a heat exchanger section configured to receive at least a portion of a heat exchanger. The cover may be disposed in the housing shell and may divide the internal space into a heat exchanger space and a sump space. The housing shell may further include a recess via which the heat exchanger space opens into the sump space. The cover may be connected to the housing shell and close the recess sealing the heat exchanger space and the sump space from one another.
