Abstract

See full text

A condenser for a motor vehicle air conditioning system, through which a refrigerant fluid flows, comprises a bundle of tubes fitted between two vertical headers, together with a separate reservoir which is installed vertically close to one of the headers. The walls which define the reservoir and associated header have respective vertical passages in the form of slots, each extending over the whole height of the condenser or header. A metal connecting plate has a first longitudinal edge portion and a second longitudinal edge portion, which are received in the respective slots in such a way that the two walls are immobilized against each other in the region of these passages. The connecting plate has at least one cut-out portion or bight through which the refrigerant fluid can flow between the header and the reservoir at a selected location.
