Temperature control device

Abstract

A temperature control device for temperature control of a component is provided, whereby the component is in an electrical and/or an electronic component, having a tube and a housing element, whereby a first fluid can flow through the tube and a second fluid can flow around the temperature control device. The housing element is formed by a cup-like cover, which is connected to the tube and forms a receiving area for the component in which the component is taken up.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A temperature control device for the temperature control of a component, the device comprising:
 a tube; and   a housing element,   wherein a first fluid flows through the tube and a second fluid flow around the temperature control device,   wherein the housing element is formed by a cup-like cover that is connected to the tube and forms a receiving area for the component in which the component is taken up.   
     
     
         2 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the component is formed by a thermoelectric module, wherein the thermoelectric module has a module housing having at least two opposite first walls, wherein a plurality of thermoelectric elements are arranged between the first walls of the module housing, wherein the thermoelectric elements have opposite surfaces that are in thermal contact with one of the first walls of the module housing of the thermoelectric module, and wherein the thermoelectric elements are connected at least partially electrically to one another via conductive bridges. 
     
     
         3 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing element has a first recess, the first recess being arranged on a surface of the temperature control device, said surface over which the second fluid flows. 
     
     
         4 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the tube has a second recess, the second recess being arranged on a surface of the tube, said surface over which the first fluid flows. 
     
     
         5 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the component is connected fluid-tight with the housing element at an edge region of a first recess and/or the housing element is connected fluid-tight to the tube. 
     
     
         6 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the component has surface-increasing elements, the surface-increasing elements being arranged on a surface over which the first fluid flows or are arranged on a surface over which the second fluid flows. 
     
     
         7 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one thermal decoupling element, which restricts the fluid flow of the first fluid to a section of the tube, is provided in the tube. 
     
     
         8 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing element or the tube have an electrically insulating layer on at least one surface facing the component. 
     
     
         9 . The temperature control device according to  claim 2 , wherein the module housing has second walls, which close the module housing fluid-tight with both first walls. 
     
     
         10 . The temperature control device according to  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the second walls is formed by a ceramic wall element or a metallic wall element. 
     
     
         11 . The temperature control device according to  claim 9 , wherein the second walls are connected fluid-tight to the first walls and/or are connected fluid-tight to the housing element or are connected fluid-tight to the tube. 
     
     
         12 . The temperature control device according to  claim 2 , wherein the first walls are coated in an electrically insulating manner on one or both sides. 
     
     
         13 . The temperature control device according to  claim 2 , wherein one of the first walls is formed by the housing element and the second of the first walls is formed by the tube or wherein one of the first walls is formed by the housing element and the second first wall is formed by a plate-like element. 
     
     
         14 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the tube is formed by a flat tube, which has two opposite broad sides, which are connected together by two opposite narrow sides, wherein each of the broad sides is connected fluid-tight to a housing element and a receiving area for a component is formed between a broad side and a housing element, in which a component is inserted. 
     
     
         15 . The temperature control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the component is an electrical and/or an electronic component.
