Abstract (en)
The system enables coupling and clamping of a tank (1) to an end manifold (2) of a heat exchanger with interposition of an elastically compressible sealing gasket (7). The system comprises a first plurality of aligned external formations (3), pre-arranged along a rim portion of the tank (1), and a second plurality of aligned external formations (4), pre-arranged along a corresponding rim portion of the manifold (2). The arrangement of the first formations (3) and the second formations (4) is such that the former (3) can be interspersed between the latter (4) when the tank (1) is fitted to the manifold (2) with interposition of said gasket (7), and the former formations (3) can be set at least partly beyond the latter formations (4) as a result of a further approach of the tank (1) to the manifold (2) designed to cause an elastic compression of the interposed gasket (7) in such a way that, between said first formations (3) and said second formations (4), there is defined a passage (8), which is essentially parallel to the direction of alignment of said formations (3, 4). At least one clamping member (9) is set in said passage (8) and is withheld between the first formations (3) and the second formations (4) and is gripped therein as a result of the elastic reaction of the gasket (7). <IMAGE>
