The two narrow sides may be stiffened via a bent reinforcement. The bent reinforcement and the rim may be structured as a single piece.

A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle includes a seal and a core. The core includes a first groove formed in a first side and a second groove formed in an opposing second side. The first groove and the second groove are each configured to receive a portion of the seal to secure the seal to the core. The seal includes a cross member and a pair of uprights extending from opposing ends of the cross member, wherein the cross member and the uprights each include a sealing element. The uprights further include a rail extending from the upright and configured to be received in the groove of the core. The core further includes an integrated shear panel formed at opposing ends thereof.

The main object of the invention is a heat exchanger including a first header plate of an inlet manifold, a second header plate of a distribution header and a heat exchange core bundle extending between the first header plate and the second header plate along a longitudinal direction, the heat exchange core bundle being defined by a shell and having a plurality of tubes arranged successively next to each other in a transverse direction, each tube being capable of cooperating with the header plates via through-holes formed in each plate. The shell has at least one longitudinal end with a straight edge configured to be in flat surface contact with at least one header plate in a contact area, the surface contact occurring mainly in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for attaching two automotive components comprising different materials having different coefficients of expansion, comprising providing a flange around a perimeter of each of the components, wherein at least one component defines a plenum contiguous to the perimeter, providing corresponding inner faces of the flanges, providing a channel in at least one of the corresponding faces of the flanges, wherein the channel is coaxial to the perimeter, disposing a gasket in the channel, and surrounding the flanges with a locking ring, wherein the ring has an axial channel and a pin disposed perpendicular to the channel to secure a first end of the locking ring to a mating second end of the locking ring.

A stacked-plate heat exchanger may include a plurality of stacked plates. The plurality of stacked plates may include a plurality of first stacked plates and a plurality of second stacked plates stacked alternately one on top of another. Pairs of adjacent stacked plates may each delimit one of a first cavity for the passage of a first fluid and a second cavity for the passage of a second fluid in an alternating manner. The heat exchanger may also include a support structure that may support the plurality of stacked plates in an edge region to stabilize the second cavity. The plurality of stacked plates may each include a first opening and at least two second openings arranged around the first opening. The heat exchanger may also include a plurality of webs each arranged between two adjacent second openings. The plurality of webs may form the support structure.

A header plate includes slots to receive heat exchange tubes of a heat exchanger. Each slot includes a lip extending in a direction of the tubes. Each slot has straight sides and corners. At least two tabs extend from each lip. One tab is on one side of each lip, and another tab is on an opposite side of each lip. Tabs are absent from the corners of the lip. Each tab is turned out from the lip so that the tabs on the lip act as a lead in for a tube entering the slot. Each slot has two long sides opposite one another. At least one tab is on each long side of the lip.

A cooling module is coupled to an engine system and a Rankine cycle waste heat recovery system. The cooling module includes a heat exchanger for cooling a fluid of the engine system and a condenser for cooling a working fluid of the Rankine cycle waste heat recovery system, both of which extend in a width direction of the cooling module and are porous to a flow of cooling air in a depth direction of the cooling module. The condenser includes a first tubular header that extends in a height direction of the cooling module. A working fluid transfer tube fluidly couples the first tubular header to the Rankine waste heat recovery cycle system. The working fluid transfer tube has a first portion extending in the depth direction and a second portion extending in the height direction, the second portion being adjacent to the first tubular header in the width direction.
