Abstract (en)
The manifold (1) for a heat exchanger (22), in particular for an automotive radiator, comprises a housing (4), which is a unitary element of a closed profile and has at least one longitudinal channel (5) defined therein, a plurality of slots (7) on one of the surfaces (8) of said housing (4), and two side surfaces (11), wherein said slots (7) are in fluid communication with said at least one longitudinal channel (5). The manifold comprises also a cover (2) applied at least on said slotted surface (8) and said side surfaces (11) of the housing (4) and having a plurality of slots (3) located at positions corresponding to the positions of said slots (7) of said housing (4) for introducing flat tubes (20) of the heat exchanger (22) into them. The cover (2) is connected to the housing (4) by brazing. Said housing (4) further has undercuts (14, 15), on its outer surface covered by said cover (2), extending in the longitudinal direction of said housing (4) and forming channels for correct clad flow management between said housing (4) and said cover (2).
