The receiving openings (34) each comprise an opening edge (36) from which a flexible clamping tongue (38) protrudes into the receiving opening (34). Each receiving opening (34) comprises an area size limited by the free end of the at least one clamping tongue (38) and the region of the opening edge (36) opposite to said end, or by the free ends of several, in particular two or three clamping tongues (38), wherein the area size (40) being smaller than the cross-section of the pin (42) in the state of the pin (42) in which the pin (42) is received by the receiving opening (34), and in which the at least one clamping tongue (38) is bend with its free end to the free end of the pin and abuts against the pin (42).

A recuperator including a number of neighbouring hexagonal sheets which are connected to each other. Flow passages are formed between neighbouring sheets. Each of the sheets, at its periphery, is at least partially surrounded by and connected to an associated connecting body. Neighbouring connecting bodies are connected to each other at at least a part of the periphery of the associated sheets and together form the wall of a housing. Passage openings are provided in the wall which are connected to the flow passages for allowing air into the flow passages via the passage openings. Neighbouring connecting bodies are provided with protruding parts and with recesses respectively on sides facing each other, wherein the forms of the protruding parts and of the recesses adjoin each other in order to connect the connecting bodies to each other by a press fit. Methods for producing a connecting body and for producing a recuperator.

According to one embodiment a radiator support is provided that includes a support base and an elastic tubular portion which protrudes axially from the support base and is configured for housing a pin of a radiator of a vehicle. The radiator support also includes at least one stop which protrudes axially from the support base. The stop is arranged close to the tubular portion and comprises a height smaller than the height of the tubular portion with respect to the support base. The difference between the height of the tubular portion and the height of the stop, and the gap between the tubular portion and the stop are such that, in use, from a given radial deformation level of the tubular portion, the tubular portion comes into contact with the stop, increasing the rigidity of the tubular portion.

An evaporator has an outer peripheral side held by a holding portion. The evaporator includes a body portion and a packing located on a part of the body portion that faces to the holding portion. The packing includes an inner elastic layer and an outer elastic layer. The inner elastic layer has a water absorbability smaller than that of the outer elastic layer and is made of a closed cell foam member. The outer elastic layer is made of an open cell foam member. The holding portion includes a first rib preventing an air from flowing along the outer peripheral side of the body portion, and a second rib preventing a displacement of the body portion. A thickness of the outer elastic layer in a condition where the outer elastic layer is not held by the holding portion is larger than a protrusion length of the first rib.

A device for flowing fluids therethrough, the device including: a first structure having a first major side, said first structure comprising a first metal composition; a second structure having a second major side abutting said first major side, said second structure comprising a second metal composition; at least one welded region affixing said first major side of said first structure with said second major side of said second structure; at least one fluid channel defined at an unwelded interface of said first major side of said first structure and said second major side of said second structure; and at least one sealing member compressed between said first major side of said first substrate and said second major side of said second substrate, said at least one sealing member comprising a material having a lower hardness than that of said first metal composition and said second metal composition.

According to one embodiment a radiator support is provided that includes a support base and an elastic tubular portion which protrudes axially from the support base and is configured for housing a pin of a radiator of a vehicle. The radiator support also includes at least one stop which protrudes axially from the support base. The stop is arranged close to the tubular portion and comprises a height smaller than the height of the tubular portion with respect to the support base. The difference between the height of the tubular portion and the height of the stop, and the gap between the tubular portion and the stop are such that, in use, from a given radial deformation level of the tubular portion, the tubular portion comes into contact with the stop, increasing the rigidity of the tubular portion.

A cooling plate with a structural plate and a cover plate, wherein the structural plate has a channel-like recess which is enclosed by a raised edge region. The cover plate rests on the raised edge region and covers the channel-like recess in order to form a channel. Openings with connection elements arranged at the openings are provided in the structural plate and/or in the cover plate in order to let a fluid into the channel and to let a fluid out of the channel. A first mounting opening, which is in the form of a round hole, and a second mounting opening, which is in the form of an elongate hole, are provided in both the structural plate and in the cover plate, the respective first and second mounting openings being aligned with one another in order to receive a pin for fixing the two plates during a soldering process.

A cooling module supporting structure includes a radiator support in which pin holes are formed on opposite sides in a vehicle width direction, and a cooling module in which pins are mounted in a vertical direction such that the pins protrude from the cooling module. In the cooling module supporting structure, each pin is inserted through corresponding one of the pin holes such that the cooling module is supported by the radiator support. In the cooling module supporting structure, at least one pin hole of the pin holes has a shape extending toward a rear side of a vehicle in the vehicle width direction from a position where the pin is inserted in a state where the cooling module is supported by the radiator support.
