Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger including exchange components and fluid flow components (2, 2′, 3), at least one fluid collecting tank (11, 11′) into which the exchange components open out (2, 2′, 3), at least one collecting plate (10) for holding the exchange components (2, 2′, 3) and a housing (4) for accommodating the exchange components (2, 2′, 3). The exchanger is characterized in that it includes a flange (5) for fixing the collecting tank (11, 11′) on the housing (4). Thanks to the invention, the transmission of stresses from the flange (5) to the collecting plate (10) is avoided, which means that a thinner collecting plate (10) is able to be formed.
