Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat exchange module for vehicles, to be mounted in the front part of a vehicle and comprising a radiator, an air conditioner facing a front face of the radiator, an intercooler positioned underneath the condenser and the radiator, and a fan assembly facing a rear face of the radiator and including a support structure bearing at least one electric fan.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a heat exchange module that enables to meet the aforesaid need in simple fashion and with a reduced number of fastening components.
  • the number 10 designates a heat exchange module for vehicles, to be fastened to a support 12 comprised in the front structure of a vehicle.
  • the heat exchange module 10 comprises a radiator 14 for cooling the engine, a condenser 16 comprised in the air conditioning system of the vehicle, an intercooler 18 for cooling the flow of air aspirated by the engine and a fan assembly 20.
  • the radiator 14 has two collecting tanks which extend at opposite parts of a heat exchange core 24.
  • the collecting tanks 22, preferably constituted of plastic material, are provided at their upper ends with two vertical pins 26.
  • the condenser 16 faces a front face of the radiator 14 and comprises two vertical distributors 28 positioned at opposite parts of a heat exchange core 30.
  • the intercooler 18 is situated underneath the condenser 16 and the radiator 14 and comprises two lateral manifolds 32.
  • the fan assembly 20 comprises a support structure 34 made of plastic material having substantially the shape of a rectangular frame.
  • the support structure 20 has its front face facing a rear face of the radiator 14.
  • the support structure 34 bears one or more electric fans 36.
  • two electric fans 36 are provided, able to create a flow of air orthogonal to the heat exchange cores 24, 30 of the radiator 14 and of the condenser 16.
  • the support structure 34 of the fan assembly 20 comprises two integral arm 38 positioned at its upper vertices.
  • the integral arms 38 of the support structure 34 are provided with respective holes 40 with vertical axis able to receive the pins 26 projecting from the upper part of the collecting tanks 22 of the radiator 14.
  • the radiator 14 is mounted on the support structure 34 of the fan assembly 20 inserting the vertical pins 26 of the radiator 14 into the holes 40 of the integral arms 38 of the support structure 34 ( Figures 2 and 3).
  • a pair of first fastening brackets 42 is fastened to the lower part of the support structure 34.
  • the first brackets 42 are applied on the rear side of the support structure 34 and project towards the exterior of the structure 34 in transverse direction.
  • the intercooler 18 is positioned on the support structure 34 of the fan assembly 20 underneath the radiator 14.
  • the radiator 14 and the intercooler 18 are both fastened to the first brackets 42 by means of two horizontal screws 46.
  • each screw 46 engages a first bracket 42, an ear 48 projecting from the manifold 32 of the intercooler 18, and an ear 50 projecting from the collecting tank 22 of the radiator 14. Therefore, by means of the first brackets 42 and of the screws 44, 46, the radiator 14 and the intercooler 18 are completely fastened to the support structure 34 of the fan assembly 20.
  • the condenser 16 is positioned and fastened with respect to the other components of the module.
  • each second bracket 52 is fastened to a respective manifold 32 of the intercooler by means of a horizontal screw 54.
  • each second bracket 52 is provided with a vertical pin 56 which is inserted into a seat formed at the lower end of a respective distributor 28 of the condenser 16.
  • an element of damping material Preferably, between the pins 56 and the seats of the distributors 28 is interposed an element of damping material.
  • the condenser 16 is provided with two metal flanges 58 welded to the upper ends o the distributors 58.
  • the flanges 58 project in transverse direction outwardly relative to the distributors 28.
  • Each flange 58 is fastened by means of a horizontal screw 60 to the corresponding collecting tank 22 of the radiator 14. The screws 60 complete the fastening of the condenser 16 to the heat exchange module 10.
  • the complete heat exchange module is fastened to the support 12 by means of vertical screws 62 that engage holes provided in the support structure 34 of the fan assembly 20.
  • a cotter pin 64 As shown in Figure 10, to each of the vertical pins 26 of the radiator 14 is applied a cotter pin 64. Then, acting from the front part of the support 12, the screws 60 that fasten the flanges 58 of the condenser 16 to the collecting tanks 22 of the radiator 14 are removed. Then, acting from the rear part of the heat exchange module, the screws that fasten the intercooler 18 and the radiator 14 to the first brackets 42 are removed. Then, the intercooler 18 is removed and the condenser 16 is extracted with a downwards movement. After the removal of the screws 46 that fasten the radiator 14 to the intercooler 18 to the support structure 34, the radiator 14 is supported by the cotter pins 64.
  • the support 12 is provided on its forward front part with a hole 66 facing a hole 68 of the metal flange 58 fastened to the respective distributor 28 of the condenser 16. As shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13, a tool 70 is inserted into the holes 66, 68 on each side of the structure.
  • the upper screws 60 that fasten the condenser 16 to the radiator 14 and the lower screws 46 that fasten the radiator 14 and the intercooler 18 to the support structure 34 of the fan assembly 20 are unscrewed and the intercooler 18 is removed.
  • the first brackets 42 are removed, removing the screws 44, and the radiator 14 is extracted with a downwards movement.
  • the condenser 16 is held in position by the tools 70.
