Patent number: 11859925Abstract: The invention relates to a plate (105) forming part of a heat exchanger and intended to delimit at least one channel (111) for circulation of a fluid. The plate (105) extends principally along an axis of longitudinal extent (A1). The plate (105) comprises at least one bottom (106), at least one first lateral raised edge (19a) which is inscribed within a first plane (P1) intersecting the axis of longitudinal extent (A1), and at least two openings (110) which are configured such that the fluid enters and exits the channel (111), respectively. The bottom (106) is provided with a rib (113) which extends longitudinally from the first lateral raised edge (109a). The rib (113) is positioned between the two openings (110). The rib (113) is of a sinuous configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Valeo Systemes ThermiquesInventors: Julien Tissot, Kamel Azzouz, Michael Lissner, Cédric De Vaulx, Patrick Leblay, Sébastien Garnier

Publication number: 20220011061Abstract: The invention relates to an adapter (8) for connecting a header (5) of a heat exchanger (i) having a header cross section (25) to a manifold (6) having a manifold cross section (26) which has a different shape from the shape of the header cross section (25). An adapter (8) connects the header cross section (25) to the manifold cross section (26). The adapter (8) can be in one piece with a first end plate (3a) of the heat exchanger (i) or it can be an independent part. Application to plate heat exchangers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2019Publication date: January 13, 2022Applicant: Valeo Systemes ThermiquesInventors: Kamel Azzouz, Julien Tissot, Sébastien Garnier, Patrick Leblay, Michael Lissner, Cédric De Vaulx
