Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling manifolds, and specifically relates to a new type of lightweight cooler manifold. Background Art

[0002] Generally, an intake manifold in an engine needs to be configured with a cooler to cool the hot air in the intake manifold so that the air temperature drops to a preset temperature range. Its design principle is to place a finned cooler into the housing of the intake manifold and then seal the cooler, so that a closed state is formed between the cooler and the housing of the intake manifold. The hot air in the intake manifold flows between the cooler and the housing of the intake manifold, and the temperature of the air is reduced by contacting the heat dissipation fins of the cooler. There is coolant flowing inside the cooler, and the heat of the heat dissipation fins is taken away by the coolant to keep the cooler at a relatively low temperature all the time, thereby ensuring that the hot air can be continuously cooled.

[0003] Due to the high sealing requirements between the cooler and the housing of the intake manifold, a large number of seals and more fasteners need to be set to meet the sealing requirements, resulting in a complex overall structure, large volume and heavy weight.

[0004] To solve the above problems, this case is thus born. Content of the Utility Model
