Abstract
A heat exchanger arrangement comprising a charge cooler and a housing. The charge cooler comprises a charge cooler core, a header plate, a coolant entry duct and a coolant exit duct. Specifically, the charge cooler core comprises hallow heat-transfer elements through which a coolant can flow. The housing is in the form of a chamber with a single aperture for receiving the cooler core and comprises an air entry duct, an air exit duct and a flange. The cooler core is fixed inside the housing by fixing the header plate of the charge cooler to the flange of the housing. Additionally, the header plate of the charge cooler closes the single aperture for receiving the cooler core.
