Abstract
A heat exchanger (10) includes a pair of spaced manifolds (12, 14) with a plurality of fluid tubes (16) extending therebetween in fluid communication. Fins (18) are connected between the fluid tubes (16) for enhancing heat exchanger with air passed thereover. Side support members (22) are connected between the ends of the manifolds (12, 14) to provide support of the fluid tubes (16) and fins (18) between the manifolds (12, 14). The side support members (22) include passageways (40) therethrough in a fluid communication with the manifolds (12, 14) to allow fluid to freely pass therethrough with the fluid passing through the fluid tubes (16) to thermally effect both members in a similar manner.
