  • Patent number: 9846001
    Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly comprises a heat exchanger for heat exchange between at least a first heat exchange fluid and a second heat exchange fluid. The heat exchanger comprises at least one heat transfer element delimiting a first fluid path from a second fluid path, and a through connection for the first heat exchange fluid arranged at a first side portion of an outer structure of the heat exchanger. The assembly comprises a pressure pulse damping apparatus comprising an elastic element, and a first conduit leading to the elastic element. The first conduit comprises a first opening connected to the through connection of the heat exchanger such that the first conduit is fluidly connected with the first fluid path. The elastic element fluidly communicates with the first fluid path only via the first opening. There is further disclosed use of a pressure pulse damping apparatus comprising an elastic element.
