The invention relates to a heat-exchange module comprising a first heat exchanger ( ) the manifold chambers ( ) of which are each formed from two shaped sheet-metal pieces ( ) and each comprise at least one lug ( ) originating from one of the sheet-metal pieces and folded into a housing ( ) of matching shape which each of the manifold chambers ( ) of a second heat exchanger ( ) includes. In one embodiment, the first heat exchanger ( ) is a radiator for cooling a motor-vehicle engine, while the second heat exchanger ( ) is an air-conditioning condenser.

Heat-exchange module for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a device for assembling at least one item of equipment, such as a secondary heat exchanger, onto a primary heat exchanger, the said primary heat exchanger including a tube manifold ( ) and a manifold chamber ( ) crimped onto the tube manifold, the periphery of the said tube manifold forming a groove ( ) for accommodating a sealing gasket ( ) between the tube manifold and the manifold chamber. This device comprises, on the one hand, first means ( ) for clipping onto the outside of the said groove, and, on the other hand, means ( ) for accommodating and locking the said item of equipment. Application to motor vehicles.

Device for assembling at least one item of equipment onto a heat exchanger

A heat-exchange module has a main exchanger and at least one secondary exchanger, each including a body with fluid-circulation tubes and with a clipping device for fixing the secondary exchanger onto the main exchanger so that the same airflow can pass through the bodies of the exchangers. The clipping device has at least one comb-shaped component including a fitting device for fitting onto a first of the exchangers, and at least one first row of teeth having between them, pair by pair, a gap of a shape corresponding to the cross section of the fluid-circulation tubes of the second of the exchangers, so as to clip the body of this second exchanger onto the comb-shaped component.

Heat-exchange module, for a motor vehicle in particular

The invention concerns an air conditioning condenser for a motor vehicle passenger compartment comprising a reservoir mounted on a base. The reservoir is axially screwed in the base, itself soldered on a manifold box of the condenser, communicating therewith through ducts arranged in the base. The base further comprises a mounting pin for helping to fix the condenser on the support, and/or a linking duct for connecting the condenser to the rest of the refrigerating circuit.
