Abstract (en)

The exchanger (1) has a heat exchange core (3) provided for exchanging heat between fluids, and distributing boxes (7, 9) for distributing one of the fluids. A sealing unit e.g. sealing ring, assures the sealing between the heat exchange core and the distributing box, and is formed by an adhesive. The core is arranged to form a receiving slot (35) for receiving the sealing unit. The sealing unit is supported by two external walls of the core, so that the core makes a carrying structure for carrying the exchanger. The external walls are formed by a receiving case (5) surrounding the core. An independent claim is also included for a method for exchanging a heat exchanger.

Abstract (fr)

L'invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur entre au moins un premier fluide et un second fluide, notamment pour véhicule automobile, comprenant un faisceau d'échange (3) de chaleur entre lesdits fluides, au moins un boîtier de distribution (7,9) pour le premier fluide, et un moyen d'étanchéité entre ledit faisceau (3) et ledit au moins un boîtier de distribution (7,9). Selon l'invention, ledit moyen d'étanchéité est supporté par au moins deux parois externes (5) dudit faisceau (3) de sorte que ledit faisceau (3) devient une structure portante dudit échangeur.
