Abstract
A collection box with an integrated reservoir for a heat exchanger, has a cylindrical tubular wall and a separation wall, disposed inside the tubular wall to delimit a collection compartment and a reservoir compartment. The tubular wall is equipped with spaced holes to receive the ends of tubes of a bundle of tubes. The separation wall comprises a central core prolonged on either side by a first edge region and by a second edge region having profiles each designed and suitable to be applied and soldered against the inside of the tubular wall.

A collection box with an integrated reservoir for a heat exchanger, comprising:
- a unitary tubular wall having two longitudinal ends located adjacent each other;
- and
- a separation wall disposed inside the tubular wall to define a collection compartment and a reservoir compartment, the tubular wall being equipped with spaced holes for receiving ends of a bundle of tubes;
- wherein the separation wall comprises a central core prolonged on either side by a first edge region and by a second edge region configured to be soldered to the inside of the tubular wall, said first edge region extending along the inside of said tubular wall across each longitudinal end.
A collection box for a heat exchanger, comprising:
- a tubular wall having adjacent longitudinal ends;
- a separation wall disposed inside the tubular wall defining a collection compartment and a reservoir compartment comprising a center portion separated from the tubular wall, a first and second radial portion extending from either side of the center portion towards said tubular wall, and a first and second edge region extending from the respective first and second radial portions along the tubular wall;
- and
- wherein said first edge region extends across all the longitudinal ends.
