Heat Exchanger

摘要

A heat exchanger for an automotive vehicle comprises a core bundle for exchanging heat between fluids, a case (3) for housing the core bundle, a container for collecting inlet (5) fluid, and a container for collecting outlet (7) fluid. The case (3) presents at least an area for absorbing stress, adjacent to the inlet collection container (5), enabling the case (3) to withstand mechanical stress exerted on the case (3) when the fluid flows in the core bundle from the fluid inlet (5) container to the fluid outlet (7) container.

1. A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, said exchanger comprising:
a core bundle for exchanging heat between fluids; a casing (3) for housing said core bundle; a fluid inlet header tank (5); and a fluid outlet header tank (7); wherein said casing (3) has at least one stress absorption zone adjacent to said fluid inlet header tank (5) so as to withstand mechanical stresses applied to said casing (3) as fluid flows through said core bundle from said fluid inlet header tank (5) toward said fluid outlet header tank (7).
