Patent ID: 7322399

Claim:
A heat exchange module for a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine fitted with a high temperature cooling system ( 2 ), particularly for cooling the engine ( 8 ), and a low temperature system ( 4 ) for cooling the vehicle's equipment ( 32 ), the module ( 22 , 122 ) comprising at least one row of heat exchange tubes ( 50 , 152 , 154 , 156 ) connected to at least one inlet manifold ( 58 , 62 ) and to at least one outlet manifold ( 60 , 64 ), these tubes forming a heat exchange surface ( 50 ), characterized in that the module 22 , 22 ) comprises surface distribution means ( 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 ) which can be used to divide, advantageously in modulatable manner, the heat exchange surface ( 50 ) into a high temperature heat exchange section used for cooling the high temperature system and a low temperature heat exchange section used for cooling the low temperature system and the module ( 22 , 122 ) comprises a high temperature fixed heat exchange section ( 52 ); a low temperature fixed heat exchange section ( 54 ); and an allocatable heat section ( 56 ) comprising an allocatable inlet manifold ( 66 ) and an allocatable outlet manifold ( 68 ), the surface distribution means ( 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 ) adapted to allocate the allocatable heat section ( 56 ) wholly or partly either to the high temperature fixed heat exchange section ( 52 ) or to the low temperature fixed heat exchange section ( 54 ).
