A protective shroud includes a top plate, a first side plate that is adapted to be disposed proximate a first edge region of a plurality of cooling fins of a heat exchanger for an integrated circuit, and a second side plate that is adapted to be disposed proximate a second edge region of the plurality of cooling fins.

A heat exchanger plate (2) is described comprising an edge (7), a groove (8) running along the edge (7), a gasket arranged in the groove (8), and a corrugated area (10) having tops (12) and valleys (11) between the groove (8) and the edge (7), wherein tops (12) run substantially perpendicular to the edge (7). In such a heat exchanger plate the gasket should be reliably fixed without affecting the stability of the heat exchanger. To this end, in at least one valley (11) a raised section (14) extends from a bottom area (13) of the valley (11) and the gasket comprises a click-on extension arranged in the valley (11) and having a recess adapted to the raised section (14).

A protection element for vapor chamber includes a main body and a protection element. The main body is divided into a working zone and a sealing zone. The sealing zone is located around an outer periphery of the working zone and is provided with a notch area, to which a fluid-adding and air-evacuating pipe is connected. The protection element is correspondingly mounted to the notch area to contact with the sealing zone of the main body. With the arrangement of the protection element, the fluid-adding and air-evacuating pipe is protected against collision and impact and accordingly, the main body of the vapor chamber is protected against vacuum and working fluid leakage.

A system for connecting housing elements of a device for heat transfer having a housing with a first housing element and a second housing element which are connectable with one another with face sides oriented toward one another and via a connection under form closure. Housing elements are herein in contact on another with side margins developed in proximity of front faces. The first latching elements are implemented as recesses each with a flat surface oriented in parallel to front face. On an outer side of side margin of first housing element between each first latching element and front face, a shaping is developed protruding from side margin, which comprises on a side facing first latching element a flat surface disposed in the plane spanned by flat surface of first latching element. Flat surfaces of first latching element and the shaping form a contiguous bearing area for second latching element.

Receptacle assembly includes a receptacle cage and a thermal-transfer module that is coupled to a thermal side of the receptacle cage. The thermal-transfer module has a base portion and a plurality of heat-transfer fins coupled to the base portion. The thermal-transfer module is configured to absorb thermal energy from a pluggable transceiver in the receptacle cage and transfer the thermal energy through the base portion and to the heat-transfer fins. The receptacle assembly also includes a retention clip configured to hold the thermal-transfer module to the receptacle cage. The retention clip includes a resilient beam that extends across the thermal-transfer module. The resilient beam directly engages at least some of the heat-transfer fins and applies a resilient force against the heat-transfer fins.

The invention relates to a sealing device (3) for a motor vehicle heat ex-changer (4) consisting of a plate (5) comprising a central cavity (12) configured to allow the passage of a tube of the heat exchanger, characterised in that at least two opposite end edges of said plate (5) are each provided with snap-fastening means (8), each capable of engaging with complementary snap-fastening elements integrated into a recess located in a support frame of the heat exchanger, and characterised in that the sealing device (3) comprises an elastically deformable sealing means (14) arranged around the central cavity (12) formed in the plate (5).

A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle comprises a fluid reservoir having at least one continuous sidewall. A plurality of first coupling features are formed in a base of the sidewall, wherein the first coupling features are outward extending protrusions. The heat exchanger further comprises a header configured to receive a portion of the fluid reservoir therein. The header includes a mounting tab having a plurality of second coupling features and a plurality of reinforcing features alternately formed therein. Each of the second coupling features are cavities configured to receive a portion of a corresponding one of the first coupling features therein. A receiving surface of each of the second coupling features cooperates with an engaging surface of the corresponding one of the first coupling features.

A connection device for interconnecting two components of plastics material is provided. The components include a first wall and a second wall, which have respective edges arranged against one another, when the two components are assembled. The device includes at least one clip on the first wall and extending beyond the edge thereof, at least one first tooth and at least one second tooth on the second wall and designed to be snap engaged by the clip when the two components are in the pre-assembled state and in the assembled state, respectively. The first tooth is closer than the second tooth to the edge of the second wall such that, when pre-assembled, the two components are connected by the edges of the first wall and the second wall, the edges being spaced apart from one another. The first tooth has an inclined locking face for facilitating decoupling of the two components.

A bottle for a heat exchanger extending in a longitudinal direction, including a tubular main body comprising a first opening, a plug having a plug body inserted at least partially into the tubular body to close the first opening, a retaining element adapted to retain the plug with respect to the tubular main body after insertion of the retaining element into the tubular main body, wherein the plug comprises a guiding means adapted to guide the retaining element during insertion of the retaining element and the retaining element is configured to be locked in the tubular body, the retaining element and the plug cooperating together to retain the plug in the tubular main body along the longitudinal axis.
