Abstract
A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle cooling system includes a sleeve-like meter heretically mounted on, and surrounding, a hollow tubular chassis meter of the vehicle. The sleeve is provided with inlets and outlets communicating with the space between the sleeve and the chassis meter and vehicle coolant flows through the inlet and outlet. Air, flowing over the outside surface of the sleeve and the inside surface of the chassis meter, cools the vehicle coolant.
Claims16
A heat exchanger on a motor vehicle comprising a chassis and a liquid cooling system which is connected to an inlet and an outlet of said heat exchanger for circulation of cooling liquid through said heat exchanger, said chassis comprising at least one tubular chassis member made of a heat conducting material and hollow for circulation of air, wherein said heat exchanger comprises an outer sleeve hermetically mounted around said chassis member to form a hollow cylindrical cavity therebetween, said chassis member having an external surface which also forms an internal surface of said heat exchanger.
A heat exchanger on a motor vehicle comprising a chassis and a liquid cooling system which is connected to an inlet and an outlet of said heat exchanger for circulation of cooling liquid through said heat exchanger, said chassis comprising at least one hollow cylindrical chassis member,
- wherein said heat exchanger is hermetically mounted around said chassis member to form a hollow cylindrical cavity therebetween, said chassis member having an external surface which also forms an internal surface of said heat exchanger, and
- wherein said heat exchanger comprises two internal edges each being formed so as to have two hollow annular embossings for receiving two O-rings assuring water tightness between said heat exchanger and said chassis member.
A heat exchanger on a motor vehicle having a chassis and a liquid cooling system, said chassis comprising at least one hollow tubular chassis member through which air may pass, said heat exchanger comprising said chassis member in combination with an outer heat exchanger member hermetically mounted around said chassis member to form a hollow cavity between said chassis member and said outer heat exchanger member, said chassis member having an external surface which is also an internal surface of said heat exchanger, said heat exchanger further comprising an inlet and an outlet for connecting said cavity to the vehicle cooling system.
