Abstract
A high capacity condenser for automotive application is built up from two layers or modules so as to make maximum use of standard components. The tanks of header tank and tube type condensers are extruded with interfitting clearance notches and stand-off flanges along the length of the tanks that maintain the two modules spaced apart and aligned. A specially designed cross-over pipe interconnects the two modules in a fluid sense and also cooperates in mechanically joining the two.
