Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1380736A1] The present invention relates to a central module for a cooling circuit in a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. <??>Module (1) characterised in that it forms a hollow rigid body with a plurality of cavities, made up by assembly of three structural sub-modules (1', 1" and 1"'), namely a first sub-module (1') comprising a hollow part (12) with a flow distribution chamber (12'), two portions of conduits (13, 13') of the sub-circuit (9) supplying the radiator (7') of the main unit heater (7), a portion of conduit (14) of the sub-circuit (10) supplying the radiator (8') of the secondary unit heater (8) and a portion of conduit (15) of the sub-circuit (11) supplying the heat exchanger (6), a second sub-module (1") comprising at least a part of the casing (16) of the heat exchanger (6), additional portions of conduits (17, 17') of the sub-circuit (11) supplying the latter and an additional portion of conduit (18) of the sub-circuit (9) supplying the radiator (7') and a third sub-module (1"') comprising the feed pump (5), end portions of conduit (19, 19' and 19") respectively of the sub-circuit (9) supplying the radiator (7'), of the sub-circuit (11) supplying the heat exchanger (6) and of the sub-circuit (10) supplying the radiator (8') and portions of conduit (20 and 20') forming a part of the common segment of the portion of main circuit (3) extending upstream and downstream of the feed pump (5). <IMAGE>
