  • Patent number: 9903661
    Abstract: A plate (30) for a heat exchanger (50) is stackable with another plate (30) of the heat exchanger (50) to form a pair of plates (30). The pair of plates (30) are arranged to permit the circulation of a fluid to be cooled between the pair of plates (30). The plate (30) exhibits an exchange zone (ZE) to encourage the exchange of heat with the fluid. The plate (30) also exhibits a bypass zone (ZBP) capable of allowing the fluid to bypass the exchange zone (ZE). The plate (30) comprises means (36, 37) originating from the plate (30) configured in such a way as to force a circulation of the fluid in the exchange zone (ZE). A core (52) of plates comprising a plurality of the plates (30), as well as a heat exchanger (50) comprising the core (52), are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9897384
    Abstract: A heat exchanger for heat exchange between at least two fluids, especially for a motor vehicle, comprises a bundle (7) for heat exchange between said fluids, and a housing (9) for receiving said bundle (7), said housing (9) having at least one raised edge (11). The heat exchanger also has a seal (15) of a rigid plastic material, said seal enveloping said at least one raised edge (11) and being designed to ensure the tightness between the exchanger and a container of said exchanger. The heat exchanger can also be included in an air intake device including such a heat exchanger and an air intake collector.

  • Patent number: 9822735
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mixing a stream of supercharging air and a stream of recirculated exhaust gases. The device comprises a manifold allowing the stream of air and the stream of recirculated gases to be mixed, and allowing the mixture to be distributed in the cylinder head. The device also comprises means for conveying the recirculated exhaust gases in the manifold that allow the distributed injection of the recirculated exhaust gases into the stream of supercharging air. The device additionally comprises means for thermally insulating the conveying means in order to limit the cooling of the recirculated exhaust gases by the supercharging air.

  • Publication number: 20170108283
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) for exchanging heat between a first and a second fluid, in particular for supplying the combustion engine of a motor vehicle with air, the heat exchanger comprising at least one heat-exchanging nest (5) through which flows the first fluid F1 and a casing (7) in which the heat-exchanging nest (5) is accommodated such that the second fluid F2 can flow therethrough. The heat-exchanging nest (5) comprises plates (23) for the circulation of the first fluid F1, the plates being stacked one on top of the other, at least one of the plates (23) having a rim (29) disposed between the heat-exchanging nest (5) and the casing (7) so as to restrict the second fluid F2 in its flow about the nest.
