Abstract
A stacked plate or plate-fin separator type of heat exchanger wherein each plate has an integral extension at one end including an aperture which, when stacked with other plates, forms a chamber separate from but positioned at one end of the heat exchanger. The chamber is interconnected through the bottom plate and/or top plate with the fluid flow in the heat exchanger to provide a surge tank having an air space formed during operation to compensate for volume changes of both the heat exchanger and the fluid therein and also to deaerate the core under vehicle operating conditions.
