Abstract: A heat exchanger for a vehicle is disposed in a fluid circuit in which a fluid is circulated according to an operating condition of the vehicle. The heat exchanger includes a tank and a pressure adjuster. The tank defines a tank chamber therein and is configured to allow the fluid to flow through the tank chamber. The pressure adjuster is disposed inside the tank and defines a damper chamber separately from the tank chamber. The pressure adjuster is configured to be displaceable or deformable to expand and reduce the damper chamber. The damper chamber is filled with a compressible gas. The pressure adjuster is configured to reduce the damper chamber in response to an increase in a pressure of the fluid in the tank chamber. The pressure adjuster is configured to expand the damper chamber in response to a decrease in a pressure of the fluid in the tank chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a reinforcing clip for a heat exchanger. The reinforcing clip includes a first supporter, a second supporter, and a connecting member. Each of the first supporter and the second supporter includes a first support element and a second support element. The connecting member connects the first support element to the second element while separating the first support element away from the second support element in the vertical direction. The first support element is in contact with the first fin and the one side of the tube when the first support element is inserted into the space between the first fin and the tube. The second support element is in contact with the second fin and the other side of the tube when the second support element is inserted into the space between the second fin and the tube.

Abstract: A plate is equipped to one side of a core of a heat exchanger. A tank is equipped to another side of the core. The tank has a holder in a tubular shape. The holder has a hole in which a plate end is inserted.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a drain valve for a heat exchanger. The drain valve includes a plug body and a locking member. The plug body extends in an axial direction and is configured to be inserted into a discharge port of the heat exchanger. The locking member is spaced away from the plug body in a radial direction of the plug body. The locking member is configured to engage with the discharge port when the plug body is inserted into the discharge port.

Abstract: A manual valve includes a knob, a stem, a stopper, and a male thread. The stem is extended from the knob. The stopper is extended from the stem. The male thread is extended from the stopper. The stem is smaller than the stopper in outer diameter. The stem is configured to be installed with a clip, which is a separate component from the manual valve. The stopper is configured to make contact with the clip in the axial direction and to be regulated movement in the axial direction when an outer periphery of the stem is installed with the clip and circumferentially surrounded with the clip.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for a heat exchanger. The mounting bracket includes a heat exchanger engagement portion and a mounting portion. The heat exchanger engagement portion includes a retention member. The mounting portion extends from the heat exchanger engagement portion and is configured for fixedly mounting the mounting bracket. Cooperation between the retention member and the heat exchanger secures the heat exchanger to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A base member has crimped portions each being bent along a lateral side of a tank member and crimped on the lateral side. The crimped portions are configured to be latched on recesses of the lateral side or protrusions of the lateral side, respectively.
