The heat exchanger () of the invention has exchange elements (') and a casing () for accommodating the exchange elements (&#x2032;). The casing () is formed by a plurality of walls connected together. The exchanger () is characterized in that the casing () has two L-shaped walls. The casing () is easier to manufacture and store.

Heat exchanger and casing for the exchanger

The heat exchanger has exchange and fluid flow components ('), at least one fluid manifold () into which the exchange components (&#x2032;) open, at least one header plate () for holding the exchange components (&#x2032;), and a casing () for accommodating the exchange components (&#x2032;). According to the invention, the fluid manifold () is held directly by the casing (). A compact heat exchanger is produced.

Heat exchanger and casing for the heat exchanger

The invention relates to a heat exchanger () comprising a heat-exchange core () and a housing () inside which the core () is housed, the core () comprises a stack of plates () and the housing () comprises a body in at least one first and one second portions. According to the invention, at least one of the portions is in contact with one end of each of the plates () of the stack of the core (). The core () is brazed to the housing ().

Heat exchanger comprising a heat exchanger bundle and a housing

The present invention relates to the field of automotive heat exchangers, and, in particular, to heat exchanger tanks with headers. This invention eliminates the need for use of an inner flange on the header using a collar that also acts as a rib, thereby providing a compact foot plus header tank arrangement with lower stress on the gasket mating surface of the header and tank. The present invention also provides a method for providing improved headering means for automotive heat exchangers with plastic tanks and headers.

Collar ribs for heat exchanger headers tanks

The invention relates to a heat exchanger () comprising a heat exchange core () and a housing (), inside which the heat exchange core () is housed. The housing () comprises a body having at least one open face, with the body defining a frame around the open face. The body is formed by at least two parts (), which are assembled together by brazing, with at least two of the parts being provided adjacent to one another comprising means () for creating a support surface for a manifold ().

Heat exchanger comprising a heat exchange core and a housing

The invention concerns the field of heat exchanger header boxes, in particular in motor vehicle ventilation, heating and/or air conditioning installations. It is more particularly concerned with a connector adapted to be introduced into a header box. To prevent the connector becoming separated from the header box before the assembly is brazed together, the connector in accordance with the inventor includes a lug adapted to prevent movement in translation of the connector towards the outside of the header box.
