Connection module for a fluid

Abstract

A connection module for a fluid, including: a body with a first opening and a second opening connected to each other by a channel so that the fluid can flow between the first opening and the second opening through the channel; a first valve placed inside the channel to control the flow of the fluid, the first opening being configured to receive the first valve. The connection module further includes a fixing element at the first opening configured to be introduced through the first opening and immobilize the first valve. The fixing element is configured to enable flow of the fluid there through.

1 . A connection module for a fluid, comprising:
 a body with a first opening and a second opening connected to each other by a channel so that the fluid can flow between the first opening and the second opening through the channel;   a first valve placed inside the channel to control the flow of the fluid, the first opening being configured to receive the first valve;   wherein the connection module further comprises a fixing element at the first opening configured to be introduced through the first opening and immobilize the first valve,   wherein the fixing element is configured to enable flow of the fluid there through.   
     
     
         2 . The connection module according to  claim 1 , wherein the channel includes a first section with a first diameter and a second section with a second diameter, the first diameter being larger than the second diameter, the channel including a step in-between the first section and the second section arranged so that the first valve rests at an end of the first section adjacent to the step and an end of the second section. 
     
     
         3 . The connection module according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixing element is brazed to the body. 
     
     
         4 . The connection module according to  claim 1 , wherein the first valve is a check valve. 
     
     
         5 . The connection module according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixing element is a connection block configured to receive an air conditioning line. 
     
     
         6 . The connection module according to  claim 5 , wherein the connection block includes a block collar inserted through the first opening into the channel so that the block collar immobilizes the first valve. 
     
     
         7 . The connection module according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixing element is a tube attached at the first opening so that the fluid can flow between the tube and the second opening. 
     
     
         8 . The connection module according to  claim 7 , wherein the tube includes a tube collar adjacent to the body. 
     
     
         9 . The connection module according to  claim 1 , wherein the channel has a first arm and a second arm arranged at an angle to the first arm. 
     
     
         10 . The connection module according to  claim 9 , wherein the angle is between 15 and 165 degrees. 
     
     
         11 . The connection module according to  claim 10 , wherein the angle is 90 degrees.
