Patent ID: 7669640

Claim:
An HVAC assembly comprising: a heat exchanger ( 3 ) comprising an air inlet face ( 8 ), an air outlet face ( 9 ), a rear end face ( 11 ), a front end face ( 10 ), and first ( 12 ) and second ( 13 ) side faces; a radiator tank ( 4 , 5 ) comprising a front end and defining orifices ( 6 , 7 ) for connection to a heat transfer fluid supply circuit; and a casing ( 1 ) for housing said heat exchanger, said casing ( 1 ) comprising a front end wall ( 15 ) defining an opening ( 14 ) opposite said front end face ( 10 ) of said heat exchanger ( 3 ), and a cover ( 24 ) defining at least two passages ( 37 , 38 ) adapted to suit said orifices ( 6 , 7 ), said cover placed against the front end face ( 10 ) of said heat exchanger ( 3 ) and fixedly attached to said front end wall ( 15 ), said cover comprising sealing means ( 39 , 40 , 36 , 41 ) for limiting the outlet of air via said opening ( 14 ) and/or via at least one of said at least two passages ( 37 , 38 ), and said cover ( 24 ) comprises a shell ( 42 ) made of a first material, and wherein said sealing means ( 39 , 40 , 36 , 41 ) are overmolded on said shell ( 42 ) and made of a second material having a greater elasticity and compressibility than those of the first material.
