Abstract
A temperature-control system for a vehicle comprises a fluid conductor unit designed for connection to a vehicle heat exchanger having a first fluid channel for a feed fluid flow and a second fluid channel for a return fluid flow. In order to enable efficient operation of a vehicle-internal heating circuit, the present disclosure provides for the first and second fluid channels to be formed in a coherent line body and to be fluidically separated by a separation region of the line body, wherein the second fluid channel at least partially surrounds the first fluid channel such that the second fluid channel is interposed between the first fluid channel and an outer face of the line body.
Claims20
A temperature-control system for a vehicle, the temperature-control system comprising:
- a fluid conductor unit designed for connection to a vehicle heat exchanger and having a first fluid channel for a feed fluid flow and a second fluid channel for a return fluid flow, wherein the first and second fluid channels are formed in a coherent line body and fluidically separated by a separation region of the line body, and wherein the second fluid channel at least partially surrounds the first fluid channel such that the second fluid channel is interposed between the first fluid channel and an outer face of the line body.
A fluid conductor unit designed for connection to a vehicle heat exchanger for a temperature-control system for a vehicle, the fluid conductor unit comprising:
- a coherent line body;
- a first fluid channel formed in the coherent line body for a feed fluid flow;
- and
- a second fluid channel formed in the coherent line body for a return fluid flow, wherein the first and second fluid channels are fluidically separated by a separation region of the line body, and wherein the second fluid channel at least partially surrounds the first fluid channel such that the second fluid channel is interposed between the first fluid channel and an outer face of the line body.
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle heat exchanger designed for temperature control of a vehicle region and having an inlet and an outlet;
- and
- a fluid conductor unit comprising:
- a coherent line body;
- a first fluid channel formed in the coherent line body for a feed fluid flow;
- and
- a second fluid channel formed in the coherent line body for a return fluid flow, wherein the first and second fluid channels are fluidically separated by a separation region of the line body, and wherein the second fluid channel at least partially surrounds the first fluid channel such that the second fluid channel is interposed between the first fluid channel and an outer face of the line body.
