Stacked disc cooler and motor vehicle

Abstract

A stacked disk cooler includes a plurality of heat exchanger plates arranged in a stacked configuration. The stacked disk cooler also includes a base trough arranged at an end of the stack and a connecting plate attached to the base trough. The connecting plate is a one-piece metal plate with a recess configured to accommodate the base trough.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A stacked disk cooler comprising:
 a stack including a plurality of heat exchanger plates;   a base trough arranged at an end of the stack; and   a connecting plate attached to the base trough,   wherein the connecting plate is a one-piece metal plate with a recess, the base trough being at least nearly completely form-fit within the recess.   
     
     
         2 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting plate has a continuous height, with an exception of the recess, the continuous height is greater than a height of the base trough. 
     
     
         3 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting plate is manufactured as an aluminum stamped part. 
     
     
         4 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting plate is manufactured as a forged part. 
     
     
         5 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein the recess is reworked at least in some areas. 
     
     
         6 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a flank angle of an edge of the recess corresponds to a rim angle of a rim of the base trough, so that the edge is connected flush with the base trough when the stacked disk cooler is mounted.   
     
     
         7 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 6 , wherein the flank angle is between 80° and 90°. 
     
     
         8 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein a spacer plate is arranged between the base trough and the connecting plate. 
     
     
         9 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the base trough is soldered to an adjacent heat exchanger plate of the plurality of heat exchanger plates and to the connecting plate.   
     
     
         10 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 5 , wherein the recess is reworked using a mill. 
     
     
         11 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 6 , wherein the flank angle is 87°. 
     
     
         12 . The stacked disk cooler according to  claim 1 , wherein a spacer plate comprises a first braze-clad side and a second braze-clad side. 
     
     
         13 . A motor vehicle comprising:
 a stacked disk cooler comprising:
 a stack including a plurality of heat exchanger plates; 
 a base trough arranged at an end of the stack; and 
 a connecting plate attached to the base trough, 
 wherein the connecting plate is a one-piece metal plate with a recess, the base trough being at least nearly completely form-fit within the recess. 
   
     
     
         14 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 13 , wherein the connecting plate has a continuous height, with an exception of the recess, the continuous height is greater than a height of the base trough. 
     
     
         15 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 13 , wherein the connecting plate is manufactured as an aluminum stamped part. 
     
     
         16 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 13 , wherein the connecting plate is manufactured as a forged part. 
     
     
         17 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 13 , wherein the recess is reworked at least in some areas. 
     
     
         18 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 13 , wherein a flank angle of an edge of the recess corresponds to a rim angle of a rim of the base trough, so that the edge is connected flush with the base trough when the stacked disk cooler is mounted. 
     
     
         19 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 18 , wherein the flank angle is between 80° and 90°. 
     
     
         20 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 13 , wherein the motor vehicle is an electrically powered vehicle.
