Abstract
A heat exchanger comprises a bundle of tubes connected between two water boxes, each of the latter being delimited by a wall of moulded plastics material having two opposed, lateral faces on which are secured lateral portions of two mountings which join the two water boxes together and which enclose the tube bundle between them. Each water box is secured to each mounting by means of at least one self-tapping screw which passes through an aperture formed in a lateral portion of the mounting and which engages in a bore formed in the wall of the water box.
