Abstract
The present invention consists in a thermal module (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a main radiator (2) and at least one auxiliary heat exchanger (3, 4) mounted on the main radiator (2) by means of a junction member (13) disposed between the main radiator (2) and at least one first auxiliary heat exchanger (3), The junction member (13) is principally formed of at least two shaft bearings (14, 15) attached to the first auxiliary heat exchanger (3) and nested inside respective open flanges (16, 17) formed on one of the lateral sides (7, 8) of the main radiator (2).Secondarily, the junction member (13) carries a plurality of auxiliary heat exchangers (3, 4) fixed to one another in staggered succession and composing a thermal submodule mounted on the main radiator (2) by means of the junction member (13).
