Abstract: A cooler for at least one electrical energy storage element, the cooler comprising at least one heat-transfer liquid circulation duct, the ends of which penetrate into manifolds. Each of the manifolds comprises a collector having at least one opening for introduction and passage of at least one duct, and a cover covering the collector in such a way as to define a volume, into which the at least one duct opens, for circulation of the heat-transfer liquid. The at least one duct and the cover are mechanically assembled with the collector. A manifold further comprises at least one seal disposed between the collector and the at least one duct, and also between the collector and the cover.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, notably for a motor vehicle, said exchanger comprising a core bundle for the exchange of heat between a first and a second fluid, said core bundle comprising a plurality of tubes (3) and a header tank (2), said tubes (3) and said tank (2) allowing said first fluid to circulate between them, said exchanger further comprising a retaining plate (16) for holding said tubes (3), said plate (16) being fixed to said tank (2), said tank (2) comprising a collector plate (6) provided with orifices through which said tubes (3) pass, said collector plate (6) being made of plastic. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such an exchanger.
