Patent attributes
A heat exchange system and apparatus for a vehicle powertrain configured to exchange heat between a first fluid and a second fluid within a heat exchanger core formed by a plurality of stacked plates having separate channels for the first fluid and the second fluid. The heat exchanger system includes multiple heat exchangers, one of which is connected to a both the inlet and the outlet of a vehicle powertrain component, another of which is fluidly connected or at least partially disconnected from the vehicle component according to the mode of operation of the heat exchange system. The heat exchanger connected to the vehicle component includes a jumper tube to return the first fluid to the vehicle component through a core of the heat exchanger.
