Abstract
A heat exchanger has a casing formed with two adjacent apertures, and two tubular pipe connections are mounted on the casing so as to communicate with these apertures in the latter. The two pipe connection are fixed with respect to a common base plate which is fastened to the casing by snap-fitting means, with the base plate having two orifices which communicate respectively with the two pipe connections and which are arranged to be aligned with the apertures in the casing, a sealing member being interposed between the base plate and the casing. The invention is especially applicable to radiators for cooling motor vehicle engine lubricating oil.
