Abstract
The subject of the present invention is a thermal system (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a one-piece frame (2) comprising a front face (20) and a rear face (22), wherein the frame comprises, on each of its two faces (20, 22), fastening means (29, 30) for at least one heat exchanger (8, 10), said fastening means being such that first fastening means (29) positioned on a front face (20) of the frame are configured for fastening a heat exchanger (8) in a first direction of insertion (Ia) and that second fastening means (30) positioned on a rear face (22) of the frame are configured for fastening a heat exchanger (10) in a second direction of insertion (Ib) opposed to the first direction of insertion.
Claims10
A thermal system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a one-piece frame composed primarily of two side walls parallel to each other and two longitudinal walls parallel to each other and extending perpendicularly with respect to the two side walls,
- the frame comprising:
- a front face,
- a rear face, and
- on each of the two faces, fastening means for at least one heat exchanger,
- said fastening means being such that first fastening means positioned on the front face of the frame are configured for fastening a heat exchanger in a first direction of insertion, and second fastening means positioned on the rear face of the frame are configured for fastening a heat exchanger in a second direction of insertion opposed to the first direction of insertion.
A method for assembling a thermal system comprising:
- positioning a first heat exchanger on a front face of a frame in a first direction of insertion;
- and
- positioning a second heat exchanger on a rear face of the frame in a second direction of insertion, the first and second directions of insertion and being opposed to each other,
- the frame being a one-piece frame composed of two side walls parallel to each other and two longitudinal walls parallel to each other and extending perpendicularly with respect to the two side walls;
- and
- fastening the first and second heat exchangers to the frame via fastening means provided on the one-piece frame, the fastening means being configured in the respective directions of insertion of the first and second heat exchangers.
