6. Implantation in housing recommendations 1/2 Heater cores position Proximity between electric or electronique components and heater core hot zones should be studied during implantation To avoid contact between passenger and heater core. To be sure that no condensation projection from evaporator on the heater core create particular odor . The better implantation is described on the following sketch (to avoid degazing problem). Vehicle Liquid oulet Z Axis AIR Liquid inlet

7. Implantation in housing recommendations 2/2 From NVF 10010 specification Heater core header screwed on housing Red colour Housing Two ribs to maintain Heater core in housing Housing form to block Heater core in housing

8. CONCLUSIONS HEATER CORE EVOLUTION GOES TO: • Stronger mechanical strength • Increase of performance • Compactness • Standardisation • Cost reductions This evolution was made possible thanks to the all aluminium brazed technology. • Heat exchange architecture is optimised thanks to flat tube patented design • This technology, as plate fins evaporator technology, eases heater core standardisation ; • Branch know how includes a well controlled process able to reach large volumes.
