Abstract
A heat exchange block (1) for a motor vehicle, includes at least one heat exchanger (2, 3, 4), wherein the block (1) is intended to be disposed behind a front grille (6) of a vehicle and to be traversed by air originating from an opening in the grille. The block includes a group of louvers (13) that can move between an open position and a closed position in order to modulate the flow of air (A) passing through the heat exchanger (2, 3, 4) and a channel (9) that can be disposed between the opening in the grille and the heat exchange block (1). The heat exchange block is suitable for any motor vehicle, but, in particular, hybrid and electric vehicles.
