Patent number: 10852074Abstract: A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle comprises a fluid reservoir having at least one continuous sidewall. A plurality of first coupling features are formed in a base of the sidewall, wherein the first coupling features are outward extending protrusions. The heat exchanger further comprises a header configured to receive a portion of the fluid reservoir therein. The header includes a mounting tab having a plurality of second coupling features and a plurality of reinforcing features alternately formed therein. Each of the second coupling features are cavities configured to receive a portion of a corresponding one of the first coupling features therein. A receiving surface of each of the second coupling features cooperates with an engaging surface of the corresponding one of the first coupling features.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Leo Somhorst, Petr Fabian, Stephen Joyce, Adam Coleberd

Patent number: 10151231Abstract: A heat exchanger for a vehicle includes an inlet tank configured to receive air from an air circuit of the vehicle. The heat exchanger further includes a heat exchange assembly disposed intermediate the inlet tank and an outlet tank. The heat exchange assembly exchanging heat between the air and a coolant. The outlet tank is configured to directly couple to an engine block of the vehicle and convey the air to the engine block. The outlet tank has at least two openings formed therein. The openings are configured to communicate with corresponding cylinders of the engine block of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Leo Somhorst, James Grainger, Petr Fabian, A-Ra Jo
