Abstract
A heat exchanger has a fluid chamber with a peripheral foot, as well as a collector plate with an edge delimiting a groove for a gasket and the peripheral foot. The gasket is formed from a bead of a polymerizable material which is deposited, at a chosen location, on the bottom of the groove, and then polymerized before being compressed by the peripheral foot of the fluid chamber.
