  • Collar ribs for heat exchanger headers tanks
    Patent number: 9046311
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of automotive heat exchangers, and, in particular, to heat exchanger tanks with headers. This invention eliminates the need for use of an inner flange on the header using a collar that also acts as a rib, thereby providing a compact foot plus header tank arrangement with lower stress on the gasket mating surface of the header and tank. The present invention also provides a method for providing improved headering means for automotive heat exchangers with plastic tanks and headers.

  • Heat exchanger comprising a heat exchange core and a housing
    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).

  • Heat exchanger header box connector and method of fixing same
    Patent number: 6231088
    Abstract: The invention concerns the field of heat exchanger header boxes, in particular in motor vehicle ventilation, heating and/or air conditioning installations. It is more particularly concerned with a connector adapted to be introduced into a header box. To prevent the connector becoming separated from the header box before the assembly is brazed together, the connector in accordance with the inventor includes a lug adapted to prevent movement in translation of the connector towards the outside of the header box.
