Heat Exchanger Comprising A Heat-Exchanger Core Bundle Connected At Two Opposite Ends To The Walls Of The Housing

Abstract

A heat exchanger includes a housing designed to envelop a heat-exchange core bundle. The housing includes an opening that allows the heat-exchange core bundle to be housed inside the housing. The heat-exchange core bundle includes a first end designed to plug the opening of the housing when the heat-exchange core bundle is inserted inside the housing, and a second end of the heat-exchange core bundle, opposite the first end, with at least one fastening means in the form of a peg, for fastening the second end of the heat-exchange core bundle to the wall of the housing.

1 . A heat exchanger comprising:
 a housing designed to envelop a heat-exchange core bundle, said housing including an opening that allows said heat-exchange core bundle to be housed inside said housing, and   a heat-exchange core bundle, said heat-exchange core bundle comprising:
 a first end designed to plug said opening of said housing when said heat-exchange core bundle is inserted inside said housing, and 
 a second end of said heat-exchange core bundle, opposite said first end, with at least one fastening means in the form of a peg, for fastening said second end of said heat-exchange core bundle to a wall of said housing. 
   
     
     
         2 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein said wall of said housing includes an opening allowing said at least one fastening means to pass through said wall of said housing. 
     
     
         3 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one fastening means is designed to accept a bolt on a free end of said fastener. 
     
     
         4 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one fastening means comprises a plastics material and can be reshaped when heat is applied thereto. 
     
     
         5 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one fastening means comprises a female component designed to accept a male connecting component. 
     
     
         6 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein said heat-exchange core bundle comprises an assembly of plates and corrugated interlayers, and wherein said plates, said corrugated interlayers, and said at least one fastening means are assembled using a brazing method. 
     
     
         7 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one fastening means is connected to said heat-exchange core bundle using an adhesive. 
     
     
         8 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one fastening means is designed to accept a bolt on a free end of said fastener. 
     
     
         9 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 8 , wherein said heat-exchange core bundle comprises an assembly of plates and corrugated interlayers, and wherein said plates, said corrugated interlayers, and said at least one fastening means are assembled using a brazing method. 
     
     
         10 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 8 , wherein said at least one fastening means is connected to said heat-exchange core bundle using an adhesive. 
     
     
         11 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one fastening means comprises a plastics material and can be re-shaped when heat is applied thereto. 
     
     
         12 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 11 , wherein said heat-exchange core bundle comprises an assembly of plates and corrugated interlayers, and wherein said plates, said corrugated interlayers, and said at least one fastening means are assembled using a brazing method. 
     
     
         13 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 11 , wherein said at least one fastening means is connected to said heat-exchange core bundle using an adhesive. 
     
     
         14 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one fastening means comprises a female component designed to accept a male connecting component. 
     
     
         15 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 14 , wherein said heat-exchange core bundle comprises an assembly of plates and corrugated interlayers, and wherein said plates, said corrugated interlayers, and said at least one fastening means are assembled using a brazing method. 
     
     
         16 . A heat exchanger according to  claim 14 , wherein said at least one fastening means is connected to said heat-exchange core bundle using an adhesive.
