<p>A heat exchanger with internal flow control valve, in particular for an engine cooling system of an automotive vehicle, comprising:
a first elongate header tank, a second elongate header tank, the second header tank being arranged parallel to the first header tank and being in fluid communication with the first header tank via a plurality of flow tubes extending therebetween;
a header tank inlet being arranged in the first header tank for receiving coolant from an outlet side of the engine;
a header tank outlet being arranged in the first header tank or the second header tank for feeding coolant from the heat exchanger to an inlet side of the engine;
the first header tank comprising a tank wall, delimiting a tank chamber therein;
a flow control valve associated with the header tank inlet, the flow control valve comprising a valve inlet port for receiving the coolant from the outlet side of the engine, a first valve outlet port for feeding the coolant to a heat exchanger circuit comprising the plurality of flow tubes and a second valve outlet port for feeding the coolant to a bypass circuit for bypassing the plurality of flow tubes, wherein the flow control valve comprises a valve body forms one piece with the tank wall of the first header tank.</p> |
