Abstract
A heat exchanger (10) is comprised of a pair of manifolds (12, 14) with a heat exchanger core (20) therebetween, and an upper side support (22) and a lower side support (44) along the outer sides of the core (20) connected between the manifolds (12, 14). The upper side support (22) includes mounting brackets (40). The lower side support (44) comprises the mounting bracket. A pair of loading members (52) are connected between the lower mounting bracket (44) and the manifolds (12, 14) in angular relationship thereto to allow additional support and loading through the manifolds (12, 14), and to allow thermal expansion of the exchanger (10) with minimal restriction.
