Abstract: A vehicle condenser including an accumulator and a header tank to which the accumulator is connected in parallelism relationship therewith, wherein said accumulator comprises a tubular container with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet which are disposed on the side wall thereof and can be connected to a condensing section (SC) and a sub-cooling section (SSR) of the condenser, respectively. The condenser in use is disposed in a horizontal arrangement in which the fluid inlet comprises an inlet port formed at the side wall of the container of the accumulator, and the fluid outlet comprises an outlet port disposed at or close to the side wall, at the lower part of the container.

Abstract: A tube for a heat exchanger comprises a plate provided with a plurality of parallel flow ports, wherein the plate is formed by a single folded-up metal sheet and consists of an envelope formed by a first portion of the metal sheet, and of a partition structure formed by a second portion of the metal sheet, which extends in an corrugated manner within the envelope so as to define said flow ports therewith, and wherein the partition structure has a substantially polygonal profile having connection segments interconnecting opposite walls of the envelope and being interposed between adjacent flow ports. The connection segments are slanted relative to the opposite walls of the envelope, thereby defining an angle a>0° relative to the normal to said walls.

Abstract: Heat exchange assembly for vehicles, comprising a condenser and a plate subcooler, and an accumulator having an accumulator inlet and an accumulator outlet. The condenser and the subcooler are connected to one another in such a way as to form a single pack of plates. The accumulator is defined by a plurality of through apertures formed through the plates, and aligned with one another. In the accumulator, a filter is arranged, comprising a cage support and a filtering medium arranged on the cage support. The cage support has a first end provided with a sealing lip formation adapted to elastically engage the edges of the through apertures defining the accumulator, and a second end provided with a spacer adapted to engage a bottom of the accumulator so as to set the position of the sealing formation between the accumulator inlet and the accumulator outlet.

Abstract: A condenser (14) for vehicles, comprising: a pair of mutually parallel distributors (28,30), a plurality of mutually parallel tubes (32) positioned orthogonally to the distributors (28, 30) and with their ends in fluid connection with said distributors (28, 30), in which the tubes are subdivided into a condensation section (62) and into a sub-cooling section (64), a filter body (42) having an inlet (108) in fluid connection with the condensation section (62) and an outlet (110) in fluid connection with the sub-cooling section (64).
