Abstract: A header-tank assembly (100a) includes a tank (10a), a gasket (20a) and a header (30a). The tank (10a) includes a plurality of first engagement elements (12a) configured thereon. The gasket (20a) includes a plurality of second engagement elements (22a) configured thereon. The second engagement elements (22a) are complimentary to and engages with the first engagement elements (12a) to mount the gasket (20a) along a periphery of a foot portion (14a) of the tank. The header (30a) is crimped to the foot portion (14a) of the tank (10a) with the gasket (20a) disposed between the header (30a) and the foot portion (14a) of the tank (10a).

Abstract: A cooling assembly for a motor vehicle, the cooling assembly having a primary heat exchanger comprising a pair of primary collector boxes, the primary collector boxes with primary header plates, the primary header plates being of essentially rectangular shape; a plurality of primary tubes stacked between the primary header plates; a secondary heat exchanger comprising a pair of secondary collector boxes with secondary header plates being of essentially rectangular shape; a plurality of secondary tubes stacked between the secondary collector boxes. The primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger are arranged in parallel, perpendicularly to each other so that the secondary header plates of the secondary heat exchanger at least partially overlap the stack of the primary tubes of the primary heat exchanger.

Abstract: A protection system for a heat exchanger is disclosed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The protection system includes at least one net with a first pair of opposite sides and a second pair of opposite sides. The at least one net is deployed over at least one heat exchanger core to cover at least a portion of the at least one heat exchanger core, wherein the at least one net is mounted to either one of a pair of side plates of the at least one heat exchanger core and a pair of headers of the heat exchanger by means of a plurality of engagement elements to deploy the at least one net over the at least one heat exchanger core.
