HEAT EXCHANGER AND CASING FOR THE HEAT EXCHANGER

摘要

The heat exchanger of the invention comprises fluid flow/heat-exchange elements (2, 2'), at least one fluid manifold (11) into which the heat-exchange elements (2, 2') open, at least one header plate (10) for holding the heat-exchange elements (2, 2') in place and at least one casing (4) for accommodating the heat-exchange elements (2, 2'). According to the invention, the fluid manifold (11) is held in place directly by the casing (4). Thanks to the invention, a compact heat exchanger is obtained.
