Cooling apparatus for a motor vehicle having a drive which comprises two motors

摘要

A cooling apparatus for a motor vehicle having a drive which comprises two motors, of which one is an internal combustion engine and the other is an electric motor (3) which is connected to an inverter (2), which is connected to an electrical energy source (1), via electrical cables (4, 5). For the purpose of cooling the energy source (1) and the inverter (2), the latter are each equipped with at least one cooling element, which directly surrounds the energy source or inverter, for conducting a fluid coolant. The electrical cables (4, 5) are combined with at least two pipes which at one end are connected to the cooling elements of the energy source (1) and inverter (2) and at the other end are connected to a heat exchanger (7) in order to form a coolant circuit.
