Support structure for a thermal management module

Abstract

A torsional control element provided on a base structure for supporting a thermal management module of a vehicle is disclosed. The torsion control element is configured to be integrated with and/or coupled to one or more support members of the base structure. The support member and the torsion control element have a generally C-shaped or reflected C-shaped cross-section, which together form a hollow closed rectangular or square tube-like structure. The torsion control element is positioned on the base structure at a specific location that experiences a significant amount of torsional force generated by the vehicle or a compressor of the thermal management module.
