Abstract
A housing of a stacked-plate heat exchanger is disclosed, the housing defining a volume for accepting a plurality of stacked plates that are configured for the circulation of a fluid that is to be cooled and of a coolant. The housing defines an interface able to accept a header tank for the fluid that is to be cooled and comprising a first part able to move in the direction in which the plates are stacked when the stacked plates are being brazed, and a second part that has at least one flank defining the interface, the first and second parts being able to be assembled with one another when the plates are being brazed. A heat exchanger comprising the housing is also disclosed.
