A heat exchanger has a structure in which a heat exchanger main body through which coolant flows is obliquely installed in a box-shaped enclosure, the heat exchanger main body is constituted by a header pipe and a plurality of heat transfer pipes connected to the header pipe and disposed at predetermined intervals along a surface of a part of the header pipe, the header pipe has an area adjacent to an inner surface of the enclosure, and a seal section is provided between the inner surface of the enclosure and the area of the header pipe adjacent to the enclosure.

A heat dissipation module includes a plurality of heat dissipation units arranged along a longitudinal direction of the heat dissipation module. Each heat dissipation unit has a plurality of heat dissipation fins arranged at intervals along a transverse direction of the heat dissipation module. The heat dissipation fins of a first heat dissipation unit of a pair of adjacent heat dissipation units are each coupled with one of the heat dissipation fins of a second heat dissipation unit of the pair of adjacent heat dissipation units by a coupling structure. The heat dissipation fins of the first heat dissipation unit and the heat dissipation fins of the second heat dissipation unit are displaceable with respect to each other within a certain range.

A thermal bridge includes an upper bridge assembly including upper plates arranged in an upper plate stack and a lower bridge assembly including lower plates arranged in a lower plate stack. The thermal bridge includes upper spring elements extending from upper plates having upper mating interfaces engaging lower plates to bias the upper plates in a first biasing direction generally away from the lower bridge assembly. The thermal bridge includes lower spring elements extending from lower plates having lower mating interfaces engaging upper plates to bias the lower plates in a second biasing direction generally away from the upper bridge assembly. A bridge frame having connecting elements extends through the upper plates and the lower plates to hold the upper plates in the upper plate stack and to hold the lower plates in the lower plate stack.

A condensation heat exchanger including at least one helically-coiled tube, inside which a fluid to be heated can circulate, a deflector, and a shell mounted inside which the tube, the shell having a gas-discharge sleeve having a bottom and a facade for feeding and/or producing a hot gas, inside the shell. The shell comprises a tubular metallic shroud closed at its two ends by a facade and a bottom, wherein the bottom is made of composite plastic, the rear edge of the shroud has a plurality of fastening tongues, the bottom has, at its periphery, a plurality of fastening slots arranged along at least part of its circumference, each fastening slot bordered longitudinally by a first longitudinal rib projecting outwardly, and wherein each fastening tongue is inserted into a fastening slot and folded twice around the first rib.
