Intercooler assembly

An intercooler assembly comprising a housing through which charge air is flowable to an internal combustion engine, and a cooler arranged in the housing and through which the charge air is flowable to cool the charge air, wherein:

• the housing has an insertion opening through which the cooler is insertable into the housing in an insertion direction running transversely to a flow direction of the charge air;
• the cooler includes:
• a pipe structure through which a coolant for cooling the charge air is flowable;
• a first end part and a second end part arranged lying opposite each another transverse to the insertion direction;
• and
• a third end part and a fourth end part arranged lying opposite each other transverse to the first end part and the second end part, and parallel to the flow direction;
• the first, second, third, and fourth end parts laterally delimit the pipe structure and are mechanically connected to the pipe structure;
• at least one of the end parts has a protruding edge that connects the at least one of the end parts to the housing, and the housing includes an associated slot, the protruding edge being arranged in the associated slot;
• the cooler is mechanically connected to the housing by the first end part and includes a clearance between the third end part and a wall of the housing, the clearance between the third end part and the wall extending from an end flange of the first end part to a flange of the second end part, and the cooler is pre-stressed toward the housing, closer to the second end part relative to the first end part, to consume at least a portion of the clearance, by at least the third end part in a direction opposite a deformation of the cooler resulting from cooling of the charge air;
• and
• at least one of the second, third, and fourth end parts is movably attached to the housing.
