Problems solved by technology

[0005] The problem with existing brackets is that the length of the bracket should be basically the width of the side panels of the heat exchanger in order to fit on the heat exchanger
[0006] Another drawback is that the installation process by brazing or snapping can be complex and finicky, especially for large heat exchangers

Embodiment Construction

[0036] figure 1 Shown is a core 10 of a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, here an intercooler. The heat exchanger is intended to be mounted on a fixture of the vehicle, directly on the body-in-white of the vehicle or on other elements of the vehicle, eg other heat exchangers (eg engine cooling radiator).

[0037] Such a heat exchanger core 10 comprises a plurality of tubes 12 connected and stacked so as to form circulation channels for the fluid to be cooled. These ducts 12 are separated by fins so that air can circulate between them. This air allows cooling of the fluid circulating in duct 12 , for example charge air.

[0038] The tubes 12 are held by two header plates 14 arranged on two opposite lateral sides of the heat exchanger core 10 ( figure 1 Only one of the header plates 14 is shown in .

[0039] Side plates 16 are secured to the bottom and / or top side of the heat exchanger core 10 , connect the header plates 14 and at least partially close the bottom and / or to...

Abstract

A bracket for a heat exchanger side plate for fixing the heat exchanger in a vehicle, the bracket (20) is characterized in that it is configured to be inserted into a groove of the heat exchanger side plate (16) (18) in.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for automobiles, and more particularly to a side plate and bracket of such a heat exchanger. Background technique [0002] An automobile may include an engine with a cylinder head, a turbo compressor and a heat exchanger. A known type of heat exchanger, called an intercooler, allows cooling some of the compressed air supplied to the turbo compressor for charging the engine through the cylinder head. [0003] One known type of intercooler uses air from outside the vehicle in order to cool the compressed air. This heat exchanger is usually located at the front of the vehicle, immediately behind the radiator grille, in order to collect the maximum amount of air from the outside. In this case, the heat exchanger may be secured to the vehicle structure or to other elements of the vehicle, such as other heat exchangers, using brackets. [0004] In some other types of heat exchangers, brackets are sometimes...
