Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2001241884A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat exchanger module, especially for use in an automobile, in which fixing work is simplified as much as possible. SOLUTION: The heat exchanging module comprises a main heat exchanger and at least one secondary heat exchanger wherein each heat exchanger has means for clipping a fluid circulation pipe and the secondary heat exchanger to the main heat exchanger so that the same gas flow can flow through both heat exchangers. The clipping means comprises means being fitted to the primary side of the heat exchanger, and at least one comb type member including at least one row of first teeth provided, for each opposite teeth, with a gap having such a shape as substantially matching the cross-section of the fluid circulation pipe of the secondary heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger body is clipped to the comb type member and then secured to the primary heat exchanger.
