  • Publication number: 20170248371
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger including exchange components and fluid flow components (2, 2?, 3), at least one fluid collecting tank (11, 11?) into which the exchange components open out (2, 2?, 3), at least one collecting plate (10) for holding the exchange components (2, 2?, 3) and a housing (4) for accommodating the exchange components (2, 2?, 3). The exchanger is characterized in that it includes a flange (5) for fixing the collecting tank (11, 11?) on the housing (4). Thanks to the invention, the transmission of stresses from the flange (5) to the collecting plate (10) is avoided, which means that a thinner collecting plate (10) is able to be formed.

  • Patent number: 9488417
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger including exchange components and fluid flow components (2, 2?, 3), at least one fluid collecting tank (11, 11?) into which the exchange components open out (2, 2?, 3), and a housing (4) for accommodating the exchange components (2, 2?, 3). The exchanger is characterized in that it includes a flange (5) for fixing the collecting tank (11, 11?) on the housing (4), the flange comprising a groove (G1) for fixing the housing (4) and a groove (G2) for fixing the collecting tank (11), the grooves (G1, G2) having a common wall (19). Thanks to the invention, a very compact heat exchanger is obtained.

  • Patent number: 9297594
    Abstract: The invention relates to a collector plate (10) for a heat exchanger comprising a web (12) equipped with openings for the passage of tubes of the heat exchanger and a groove (14), known as a receiving groove, to accept a header tank cover, able to accept a gasket (104) and part of the cover and having a base (18) and two flanges, respectively an inner flange (16) and an outer flange (20) which are connected to the base (18). The inner flange (16) is connected to the web (12) and is subdivided into at least two disjointed portions, the two disjointed portions are separated by at least one recess (30), and the recess (30) between the two disjointed portions of the inner flange (16) is at least in the region of a site of the collector plate (10) that is intended to accept a bent part of the gasket (104). The invention also relates to a heat exchanger comprising the collector plate (10).

  • Patent number: 8739857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger (10) comprising a heat exchange core (12) and a housing (14), inside which the heat exchange core (12) is housed. The housing (14) comprises a body having at least one open face, with the body defining a frame around the open face. The body is formed by at least two parts (30; 32; 34; 36), which are assembled together by brazing, with at least two of the parts being provided adjacent to one another comprising means (40) for creating a support surface for a manifold (48).

  • Patent number: 6644385
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a fluid chamber with a peripheral foot, as well as a collector plate with an edge delimiting a groove for a gasket and the peripheral foot. The gasket is formed from a bead of a polymerizable material which is deposited, at a chosen location, on the bottom of the groove, and then polymerized before being compressed by the peripheral foot of the fluid chamber.
