Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a first header and tank assembly having an inlet port and an outlet port. First and second tubes are included, each tube in fluid communication with the first header and tank assembly and with the other tube. An elastomeric baffle is disposed in the first header and tank assembly to substantially prevent fluid flow between the inlet port and the outlet port except through the first and second tubes.
