Embodiment Construction

[0016] The following description relates to systems and methods and systems for a cooling device for a vehicle. These cooling devices can improve a vehicle's cooling performance by directing cooling fluid through the vehicle's critical components. For example, a cooling unit can direct air through the motor oil pan, which reduces heat from the motor oil. In addition, the cooling device can further conduct heat from vehicle components. For example, the sheet metal cooling device can be connected to the transmission housing via metal fastening devices. In this embodiment heat is transferred from the transmission housing via the fastening device to the cooling device.

[0017] One embodiment includes a drive unit for a motor vehicle having: a motor with a motor sump for supplying motor oil; a transmission with a transmission housing for supplying transmission oil; Cooling device for motor oil and / or transmission oil temperature. The cooling device may extend along the motor o...

Abstract

The invention provides methods and systems for a cooling device connected to components of a motor vehicle. The cooling device influences a fluid flow moving past the vehicle components. In one example, a system may include a cooling device positioned below an oil sump. The cooling device may feature an apparatus such that a fluid flows between the apparatus and oil sump. The cooling device may also be positioned below a transmission housing.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from German Application No. 102017202789.4 filed on February 21, 2017. The entire contents of the applications cited above are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. technical field [0003] The present description generally relates to methods and systems for installing cooling devices to vehicle components. Background technique [0004] The present application relates to a drive unit for a motor vehicle comprising a motor with a motor oil sump and a transmission. The transmission may include a transmission housing. Cooling devices may be used to reduce the temperature of the motor, transmission, or both. [0005] Cooling of the motor oil or transmission oil is often utilized even during normal operation. Cooling can further be utilized at high payloads, trailer loads or high motor rotational speeds. [0006] Previous attempts at cooling transmission o...
