A heat exchanger includes a header and a side plate. The header has a face plate that defines a plurality of orifices. The header has a protrusion that extends outward from the header and down such that a gap is formed between the header and the protrusion. An external portion of the protrusion is configured to break away from the header during thermal expansion. The side plate is disposed adjacent to an array of alternating tubes and fins. Each tube extends into one of the orifices of the plurality of orifices. The side plate has an end that is secured to the external portion of the protrusion.

Heat exchanger

A header tank of a heat exchanger. The header tank includes a housing defining a coolant chamber through which coolant flows. The header tank further includes a flow control member, which extends into the coolant chamber. The flow control member is configured to advantageously reduce swirling of coolant in the coolant chamber, reduce velocity of coolant in the coolant chamber, and reduce liquid pressure drop of the heat exchanger.

Header tank for heat exchanger

A multifluid heat exchanger includes a first tank connected to a second tank through a plurality of fluid conduits. A partition disposed inside the first tank divides an internal space of the first tank into a first space and a second space. The first space is in fluid communication with the second tank through the plurality of fluid conduits. As a result, a first internal fluid may flow from the first space to the second tank, while a second internal fluid may flow through the second space.

Multifluid heat exchanger

A radiator for a vehicle includes a built-in oil cooler tank. The radiator includes two header tanks and a core member disposed between the header tanks. One of the header tanks includes a support member disposed along an inner surface of the header tank and further defines an aperture. The oil cooler tank includes two ports and a core portion extending between the ports. Each of the ports has a rim and defines a bore. The rim of a given port is disposed within a given support member such that the bore of the given port aligns with a given aperture of the header tank.

Mounting structure for in-tank oil cooler and radiator

A tank for a heat exchanger includes a tank member and a base member. The tank member has one of a pre-crimped tab and a slot portion on a first lateral side. The pre-crimped tab is bent outward from a longitudinal axis. The slot portion has a throughhole. The base member has the other of the pre-crimped tab and the slot portion on the first lateral side. The tank member and the base member are fitted together to define an inner cavity therebetween. The pre-crimped tab is inserted in the throughhole on the first lateral side. One of the tank member and the base member is crimped to the other of the tank member and the base member on a second lateral side.
