Abstract

A tube arrangement for the transport of temperature control medium, comprising a base body ( 2 ) made of polymeric material and produced by means of blow molding, wherein at least one functional element ( 3 ) is arranged in the base body ( 2 ), which element is in operative connection with the temperature control medium.

Claims (10)

1. A tube arrangement for the transport of tempering medium, comprising a base body made of polymeric material and produced by means of blow molding, wherein the base body has a plurality of channels, wherein a channel wall is located between the channels, the plurality of channels having a length and the channel wall extending along the length of the plurality of channels, and wherein at least one functional element which is in operative connection with the tempering medium is arranged in a channel of the plurality of channels of the base body.

2. The tube arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one functional element is formed from the base body.

3. The tube arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the functional element formed from the base body forms a throttle valve, connecting element or connector.

4. The tube arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one functional element is formed separately from the base body.

5. The tube arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the functional element formed separately from the base body is formed as a valve, throttle valve, check valve, sensor, pump, connecting element or connector.

6. A temperature control circuit comprising the tube arrangement according to claim 1 .

7. A temperature control circuit comprising the tube arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature control circuit is arranged in a mobile device.

8. A method for producing a tube arrangement for the transport of tempering medium, in which a parison made of polymeric material is provided, wherein the parison is arranged in a blow mold and the tube arrangement is shaped by means of a blow molding process to form a base body defining a plurality of channels, and a channel wall located between the channels and extending along a length of the plurality of channels, the blow mold being designed in such a way that at least one functional element is molded into a channel of the plurality of channels of the tube arrangement.

9. A method for producing a tube arrangement for the transport of tempering medium, in which first a parison made of polymeric material and at least one functional element to be arranged inside the tube arrangement are provided, wherein the at least one functional element is arranged in the inside of the parison, wherein the parison with the at least one functional element arranged therein is arranged in a blow mold and the tube arrangement is shaped by means of a blow molding process, wherein the tube assembly is blow molded to have a base body defining a plurality of channels having a length, and a channel wall located between the channels and extending along the length of the channels.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the blow mold is designed in such a way that at least one functional element is molded into the tube arrangement when the tube arrangement is formed by means of blow molding.
