Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006010581A1] The invention relates to a collecting tank (1), especially for a heat exchanger (1) pertaining to a motor vehicle cooling installation. Said collecting tank comprises a tank element (3) consisting of at least two collecting regions (4) for receiving the fluid, said receiving regions being embodied together as a single component and outwardly sealed by means of a sealing element, and a bottom (5; 65; 75) for closing said collecting regions (4) of the tank element (3). A sealing arrangement (6) is provided between the tank element (3) and the bottom (5; 65; 75), between two adjacent collecting regions (4), said sealing arrangement (6) comprising exactly one sealing element (7; 67; 77) which, in addition to sealing between the two collecting regions (4), is also used to seal the arrangement towards the outside. Said sealing element (7; 67; 77) is preferably arranged in a plane in the collecting tank (2; 62; 72), especially in a continuous channel (8; 68; 78).
