  • Patent number: 11180020
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device (12) for controlling an air flow (F) circulating in a first heat exchanger (4) for a motor vehicle comprising at least two screens (14), the control device (12) being configured to go from a closed configuration in which the screens (14) obstruct the passage of the air flow (F) completely to an open configuration in which the screens (14) are positioned in such a manner as to allow the air flow (F) to pass with a maximum flow rate, and any intermediate configuration. According to the invention, the two screens (14) are adapted to be moved away from one another when the control device (12) goes from the closed configuration to the open configuration and to be moved toward one another when the control device (12) goes from the open configuration to the closed configuration.

  • Publication number: 20170131044
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a header usable with an exchanger bundle of a heat exchanger. Said exchanger bundle includes at least one first row of tubes and one second row of tubes. The tubes are suitable for enabling the flow of a first fluid in the exchanger bundle. The header includes at least: —one first contact element for supporting the top side of a first end of the first row of tubes; —one second contact element for supporting the bottom side of said first end of the first row of tubes and supporting the top side of a first end of the second row of tubes, the thickness of the second contact element defining the distance between said first and second rows of tubes; and —one third contact element for supporting the bottom side of said first end of the second row of tubes.

  • Patent number: 9618280
    Abstract: A heat exchanger (10) comprises an alternating stacking of first plates (12) and second plates (14) provided respectively with first corrugations (16) separated by a first pitch (P1) and second corrugations (18) separated by a second pitch (P2), which is different from the first pitch (P1). Between the plates, first flow channels are defined having a first cross sectional area adapted to a first fluid (F1) which alternate with second flow channels having a second cross sectional area adapted to a second fluid (F2). The invention applies in particular to heat exchangers for motor vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20160327344
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between first and second fluids, said exchanger including: a casing and an exchange bundle positioned inside said casing, wherein the exchange bundle includes: a main surface which has a main width and which consists of a plurality of tubes suitable for guiding the first fluid inside said tubes; an intake of the first fluid toward an outlet of the first fluid, making it possible to guide, outside of said tubes, the second fluid; an intake of the second fluid toward an outlet of the second fluid; wherein the tubes are, at least at one first end, assembled such as to form a secondary surface having a secondary width which is smaller than the main width for coupling with the intake and/or the outlet of the first fluid; wherein the secondary surface at the first end of the tubes is formed such as to create a space between the casing and the outer surface of the secondary surface, said space being connected to the intake and/or the outlet of the
