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

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, 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 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.

Intake housing including a heat exchanger

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.
