HEAT EXCHANGER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A heat exchanger assembly may include an intercooler and a housing which encloses said intercooler. The housing may be part of a charge air line. The housing may include a charge air inlet, a charge air outlet and an opening through which the intercooler can be inserted into the housing from one side. The housing may also include a recess on the side opposite the opening, into which recess the intercooler engages. The heat exchanger assembly may include an elastic seal arranged in the region of the recess between the intercooler and the housing. The seal may be configured to at least one of bridge the deformation of the housing occurring during pressure pulsations, bridge relative movements between the intercooler and the housing, and tightly connect the intercooler to the housing in all operating states preventing an undesirable bypass flow.

1. A heat exchanger assembly, comprising; an intercooler and a housing which encloses said intercooler, the housing being part of a charge air line, wherein
the housing has a charge air inlet, a charge air outlet and an opening through which the intercooler can be inserted into the housing from one side, the housing has a recess on the side opposite the opening, into which recess the intercooler engages; and
an elastic seal arranged in the region of the recess between the intercooler and the housing, wherein the seal is configured to at least one of bridge the deformation of the housing occurring during pressure pulsations, bridge relative movements between the intercooler and the housing, and tightly connect the intercooler to the housing in all operating states preventing an undesirable bypass flow.
