Zusammenfassung:A sealing apparatus for a heat exchanger used in an automotive vehicle is disclosed. The seal apparatus includes a closed loop of rigid material (29), the loop defining four substantially orthogonal edges (28, 30, 32, 34) configured to contact the respective sides of the heat exchanger (12). A sealing member (27) of soft material is attached to an outer face (21) of the closed loop and adapted to sealingly engage walls of a housing containing the heat exchanger. The loop includes a plurality of locating pins (38) integrally formed in the closed loop for located and retaining the sealing apparatus in a predetermined relationship with the heat exchanger.
