Car heat exchanger connection - uses projecting guide on one endface to grasp opposing face lugs prior to spring clipping from above to complete sealed closure

摘要

The endface (10) of the connection (9) and connecting line (8) can be plugged into one another and sealed and a guide (11) projecting to one side of the connecting face takes a spring lip (7) which is pushed on from outside. It uses end-stops round the other side of the connection to be engaged by the applied clip. The connection endface (12) is rectangular or elliptical. One connecting face is grooved (101) all round and takes a tapered part (102) of the other connecting face which in turn is grooved (103) for a sealing ring. The guide is pref. arranged in the opposing longitudinal sides of one connecting face and is made up of U-section components which project far enough beyond the endface to enable the inserted clip to grasp the end-stops (6) on the other connecting face.
