Abstract
A radiator has at least one radiator tank containing an integrated heat exchanger. The heat exchanger and the radiator tank each have inlet and outlet fluid communication connectors. The heat exchanger and the radiator tank, including the connectors are integrally as a single-piece, of a same material. This simplifies manufacture and improves durability. Because the radiator tank and the integrated heat exchanger are made of just a single type of material, recycling is made simpler.
