Condenser with disconnectable receiver for cooling circuit, particulary of a motor vehicle

摘要

The condenser is traversed by a refrigerant fluid and has a fluid reservoir (28) in the form of a removable cartridge which connects to a collecting chamber (16). The removable cartridge has a coupling (38) which co-operates with a holder (30) of conjugate shape which is fixed to the collecting chamber through an inlet tube (34) and an outlet tube (36) through which the refrigerant fluid flows. The coupling has a hollow axial end (66) which fits onto the axial housing (62) on the holder. The cartridge may alternately contain a dessicant fluid.
