A heat exchanger with a heat-exchange core in which a first fluid and a second fluid circulate, at least one header tank configured to duct the second fluid from or to the heat-exchange core. The header tank has at least a shoulder oriented toward the outside of said header tank, and at least one header tank corner. At least one fastening member for fastening the header tank is positioned at least partly at the periphery of the heat-exchange core and includes at least one peripheral groove delimited by a base wall and a lateral wall and in which the shoulder of the header tank is at least partially housed. Part of the corner portion faces an upper face of the shoulder opposite to the groove of the fastening member and at a non-zero distance from this upper face so that a space is left between the corner portion and the upper face of the shoulder.

Heat exchanger with securement of the fastening at the header corner

The invention relates to a plate for a heat exchanger, said plate comprising an edge () for coupling to another plate. According to the invention, said edge has at least one fusible component () for joining this coupling edge () to at least one casing wall, said at least one fusible component () being configured to be separated from the rest of said coupling edge by differential expansion/contraction between said plate and said at least one casing wall to which it is intended to be joined.

Heat exchanger plate, and heat exchanger comprising such a plate

Flat tube of a charge air heat exchanger, produced from at least one metal sheet that has been pressed to form an exchange plate, said pressing allowing a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet to be connected by a circuit through which a heat-transfer fluid circulates, said circuit comprising at least one metal insert placed within it and made from a material that creates a potential difference of 30 mV or more with the material of the flat tube.

The invention relates to a cover () suitable for installation at least facing a heat exchanger () between a feed gas flow for an internal combustion engine and a so-called coolant, said heat exchanger () comprising a bundle () and an area () for distributing the coolant in the bundle (), characterized in that the cover () comprises a protrusion () suitable for limiting the circulation of the feed gas flow at the coolant distribution area ().

Cover for an intake housing

A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The heat exchanger includes a bundle for a heat exchange between at least one first fluid and one second fluid, including first and second channels for the flow of the first fluid and of the second fluid, a housing for receiving the bundle, and a collector for the second fluid, including a collecting plate having openings into which the second channels lead, and at least one cover for closing the collector. The closing cover has a raised edge, and the collecting plate has a corresponding planar connecting portion adjacent to at least one peripheral edge of the collecting plate. The collecting plate has first openings having a first height and at least one second opening having a second height that is different from the first height.

Heat exchanger, particularly for a motor vehicle

A heat exchanger, in particular a supercharging air cooler for a motor vehicle engine, comprises a housing () provided with a heat exchange bundle (), a collector () of a cooling liquid circulating in the heat exchange bundle (), and a collector plate () forming a side wall of the heat exchanger housing () and of the cooling liquid collector (). The collector plate () is provided with orifices () communicating with the cooling liquid circulation pipes of the bundle (). The collector plate () comprises a flat connecting part () fixed to the cooling liquid collector () opposite edges of the orifices (). The flat connecting part () is contiguous to at least one of the edges.

Heat exchanger, particularly motor vehicle engine charge air cooler

The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a casing () inside which is housed, and fastened by brazing, a heat exchange assembly () comprising a stack of heat exchange plates, each plate () having at least one edge () for brazing to the casing (). The heat exchanger is characterized by the fact that it includes means, called unfastening means (), designed to prevent the casing from being brazed to at least a portion of the edge () of at least one end plate (E) of the stack (). By virtue of the invention, the heat exchanger is more flexible and absorbs thermal stresses better.

Heat exchanger and sheet for the exchanger

The invention concerns an intake housingfor an internal combustion engine, capable of receiving a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between a feed gas stream circulating in the housing and a coolant, wherein said intake housingincludes a spacefor the circulation of the feed gas and a spacefor receiving the heat exchanger, said receiving spacebeing defined by at least a first metal componentincluding at least one extensionthat is in one piece with the first metal component, said extensionat least partially defining the spacefor the circulation of the feed gas.
