Abstract
The invention involves a heat exchanger in modular circuit board design, with a connecting plate, in particular a charge air cooler, which is located in a housing into which the charge air flows in and out, at which the air flows through the charge air cooler, and at which the housing has a mounting opening into which the charge air cooler can be inserted and installed by means of its connecting plate. The construction improves the absorption of oscillation and vibration, if, according to the invention, the body of the heat exchanger is equipped with mounting devices which work together with corresponding mounting devices in the interior of the housing.
Claims20
A heat exchanger comprising a plurality of heat exchanger plates and a connecting plate, the heat exchanger having a body and being a charge air cooler, which is located in a housing through which charge air flows, the housing defining a mounting opening through which the charge air cooler is received, the connecting plate being secured to the body, the body of the heat exchanger including connectors that engage corresponding connectors located in an interior of the housing.
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a housing having an interior wall, a fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet;
- and
- a body supported in the housing and having a pair of plates defining a flow path therebetween connecting the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, one of the body and the interior wall of the housing including a protrusion and an other of the body and the interior wall defining a recess, the protrusion being engageable in the recess to secure the body to the housing.
