  • Patent number: 10442286
    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated bracket for an automotive heat exchanger, in particular for a radiator. The integrated bracket comprising a radiator bracket base (2), having an inner side at which the heat exchange is located and an opposite outer side. The bracket base (2) comprises a base plate (2a) and a supporting plate (1) which are in contact with their surfaces faced to each other and each of the plates (1, 2a) has latching and locking means to engage both plates one to the other. The plate which is selected from said supporting and base plates (1, 2a) and which is located at the outer side of the bracket is provided with at least one ball pin (4) integrally formed with said plate and protruding from said plate at its outer side for fixing the bracket base (2) in a car.

  • Patent number: 10352598
    Abstract: Heat exchanger, in particular condenser, comprises two parallel end closing plates (1, 2) having made a coolant inlet and outlet and at least one inlet and an outlet of the refrigerant. A heat exchange unit is provided between the closing plates (1, 2) and at least one coolant compartment and at least one refrigerant compartment, separated by an inner plate (5). The coolant compartments and, refrigerant compartments are arranged alternately and connected such that they form together with said inlets and outlets separated hydraulic circuits for the coolant and refrigerant and a turbulator panel (3, 4) is arranged in each of the compartments (3, 4).

  • Patent number: 10215511
    Abstract: A receiver for a heat exchanger, especially a condenser of a refrigerant system, is disclosed. The receiver has a hollow body and a closure closing the body. The body defines an internal volume configured to receive a fluid flowing through the heat exchanger, and the closure is adapted to establish a communication of the fluid between said internal volume and a flange of the heat exchanger. The closure is removable from the flange and detachably coupled to the body. A heat exchanger, especially a condenser equipped thereof, is also disclosed.
