Claim 6:
7. A method for assembly of a heat exchanger with an inlet/outlet flange for coolant fluid in a support frame defined as claimed in claim 1, the method comprising:
insertion of the flange in the slot made in a side wall of the support frame, with an insertion position in a plane which has an angle of inclination between 10° and 80° relative to the plane in which the heat exchanger is positioned at the end of assembly,
wherein the insertion brings the flange at an angle through the slot while avoiding the first and second rims; and
pivoting the flange in the slot in order to give the heat exchanger its final assembly position which is substantially perpendicular to the side wall.
