Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for controlling the temperature of a component and a method of production thereof. The device includes an elongate basic profile that defines a plurality of fluid flow channels in its interior. The fluid flow channels are arranged in series and separated by webs. The elongate basic profile extrudes from a plastic material. The device includes a connection unit connected to the basic profile and designed to direct fluid into the basic profile or out of the basic profile. The connection unit is formed partially or completely from a transparent plastic material.
Claims15
A device for controlling a temperature of a component, wherein the device comprises:
- an elongate basic profile that defines, within an interior, a plurality of fluid flow channels from a first longitudinal end to a second longitudinal end, wherein the fluid flow channels are arranged in series and are separated by webs, and the elongate basic profile is extruded from plastic material;
- and
- a connection unit that is connected to the elongate basic profile at one of the longitudinal ends of the elongate basic profile and that is designed to direct fluid into the elongate basic profile or out of the basic profile, wherein the connection unit is formed partially or completely from a transparent plastics material.
A method for producing a device for controlling a temperature of a component, the method comprising:
- providing an elongate basic profile that defines in its interior a plurality of fluid flow channels from a first longitudinal end to a second longitudinal end, wherein the fluid flow channels are arranged in series and are separated by webs, and wherein the elongate basic profile is produced from plastics material using an extrusion method;
- providing a connection unit connected to the elongate basic profile at one of the longitudinal ends of the elongate basic profile and designed to direct fluid into the elongate basic profile or out of the basic profile, wherein the connection unit is formed partially or completely from a transparent plastics material;
- and
- arranging the connection unit on the basic profile;
- connecting the connection unit to the basic profile, using a laser welding method.
