Abstract
The present invention concerns a heat exchange system including at least one support, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, each of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger being fixed to the support via a fixing element including at least one tongue. The first heat exchanger includes a first tongue and the second heat exchanger includes a second tongue, the first tongue and the second tongue extending facing one another, each of the first tongue and the second tongue engaging with a common fixing tab of the support.
Claims20
A heat exchange system comprising at least one support, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger each extending in a main plane which is transverse and vertical, the first heat exchanger being disposed, in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchange system, between the at least one support and the second heat exchanger, each of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger being fixed to the at least one support wherein the first heat exchanger includes a first tongue and the second heat exchanger includes a second tongue, the first tongue and the second tongue each extending from a transverse end of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, respectively, and facing one another, each of the first tongue and the second tongue engaging with a fixing tab of the at least one support, and wherein the fixing tab of the at least one support includes at least a first groove and a second groove which are capable of receiving at least part of the first tongue and at least part of the second tongue, respectively.
A method for mounting a heat exchange system including at least one support, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger each extending in a main plane which is transverse and vertical, the first heat exchanger being disposed, in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchange system, between the at least one support and the second heat exchanger, each of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger being fixed to the at least one support wherein the first heat exchanger includes a first tongue and the second heat exchanger includes a second tongue, the first tongue and the second tongue each extending from a transverse end of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, respectively, and facing one another, each of the first tongue and the second tongue engaging with a fixing tab of the at least one support, the method comprising disposing the first heat exchanger by way of a vertical translational movement along the at least one support such that the first tongue is received at least partially in the first groove of the fixing tab of the at least one support, and disposing the second heat exchanger by way of a vertical translational movement against the first heat exchanger such that the second tongue is received at least partially in the second groove of the fixing tab of the at least one support.
A heat exchange system comprising:
- a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger being disposed, in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchange system, between at least one support and the second heat exchanger;
- wherein the first heat exchanger includes a first tongue and the second heat exchanger includes a second tongue, the first tongue and the second tongue each extending from a transverse end of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, respectively, and facing one another, each of the first tongue and the second tongue engaging with a fixing tab of the at least one support, and
- wherein the fixing tab of the at least one support extends from a transverse end of the at least one support in the longitudinal direction and includes at least a first groove and a second groove which are capable of receiving at least part of the first tongue and at least part of the second tongue, respectively.
