Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 Shown is a header tank 10 for a heat exchanger, more particularly intended for use on a radiator of an auxiliary cooling passage. The radiator is here configured to cause circulation of a mixture of water and glycol. The header tank 10 includes a header 12 for receiving heat exchange tubes 14 and also includes a cover 16 mounted on the header 12 .

[0027] In this specification, the header tank 10 extends in the longitudinal direction Y, and has a cross section defined by the intersection of the header tank 12 with a plane (X, Z) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Y. Said cross-section of the header tank is defined by a maximum height h and a maximum width l. In this example, the maximum height h is at least one and a half times greater than the maximum width l, ie h is approximately 30 mm and l is approximately 19 mm. However, it is conceivable that the maximum height h is greater than twice the maximum width l.

[0028] The header 12 is a metal p...

Abstract

The invention relates to a collector box (10) for a motor vehicle, which includes a collector (12) for receiving heat exchange tubes (14) and a cover (16) mounted on the collector (12). The collector box (14) extends in a longitudinal direction and has a cross-section having a maximum height (h) and a maximum width (I). The collector (12) is a metal profile member defined at the longitudinal ends thereof by two end walls (13) that extend in a substantially transverse plane. Said two end walls (13) are mounted on the metal profile member and the maximum height (h) of the collector box is no smaller than at least one and a half times the width (I) of the collector.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers for motor vehicles, and more particularly to header tanks for such exchangers. [0002] The header tanks in question are intended, for example, to be used in radiators for auxiliary cooling passages, in particular for charge air, batteries or electronic circuits. Background technique [0003] Typically, header tanks used in heat exchangers comprise headers for receiving heat exchange tubes, on which headers are mounted caps, which may be made of metal or plastic. The function of such header tanks is to distribute and flow fluid through the heat exchange tubes, or to collect fluid leaving the tubes. [0004] There is a wide variety of header tanks for motor vehicles as header tanks are designed due to the specific constraints of heat exchange and thus require a special design for each application. For example, a header box for a radiator is not used for a header box for a condense...
