Abstract
A heat exchanger apparatus includes a pair of tanks with parallel tube passes and air centers connected therebetween for cooling the engine fluid, such as a coolant, by the air intake stream to the vehicle. The tanks are formed by an extrusion forming three sides thereof and a header is brazed thereto for forming the fluid chamber in the tanks. The extrusion includes a die formed pocket therein to receive the sides and one end of a partition member and the second end of the partition member is curved to abut the header. The curved second end has flanged ears therein that seat in segments of the die formed pocket which are laterally outwardly of spaced sides segments of the pocket to position the partition within the pocket so that an outer surface thereon will be positioned against a header to form a braze seal between the partition and both the header and the extruded tank.
