Abstract: A heat exchanger tank that includes external ribs that provide reinforcement to structure of the heat exchanger tank is disclosed. In addition, at least one reinforcement element may engage with an external tank portion and may be tensioned by press fitting the at least one reinforcement element on the external tank portion such that limbs of the at least one reinforcement element are separated by the external tank portion between the external ribs. The at least one reinforcement element may further be maintained in the tensioned configuration by using at least one retention means.

Abstract: A heat exchanger tank 20a is disclosed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The heat exchanger tank 20a include external ribs 22a that provide reinforcement to structure of the tank 20a, wherein at least one reinforcement element 30a engages with an external tank portion and is tensioned by press fitting the at least one reinforcement element 30a on the external tank portion such that limbs 31a of the reinforcement element 30a are separated by the external tank portion between the external ribs 22a. The reinforcement element 30a is further maintained in the tensioned configuration by using at least one retention means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a strengthened radiator comprising a collector and a water tank, the water tank being provided with a wall (40) and a base (50), a plurality of plates (10) located inside the water tank, wherein each plate (10) comprises a plurality of extensions (20, 20?, 20?, 20??) having a predetermined format; the base (50) of the wall (40) of the water tank being provided with a plurality of slots (30) having a format corresponding to that of the plurality of extensions (20, 20?, 20?, 20??), wherein each extension of the plurality of extensions engages each slot of the corresponding plurality of slots.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a first header, a second header, a plurality of tubes, and a flow reducer. The first header is connected to a hot fluid inlet and to a cold fluid outlet, so that the first header comprises a hot region and a cold region, separated by a wall. Each of the plurality of tubes provides fluid communication between the first and second headers, including one tube located next to the wall in the hot region of the first header, being called “hot end tube” , and one tube located next to the wall in the cold region of the first header, being called “cold end tube” . The flow reducer reduces the fluid flow in the hot end tube compared to the fluid flow in other tubes located in the hot region.
