Abstract
An exemplary heat exchanger includes increased stiffness to prevent buckling of a core. In some examples, an exemplary heat exchanger includes a core and a shaft at least partially positioned therein to increase stiffness of the core and located to limit movement of a heat exchange portion and to receive loads therefrom. In another example, an exemplary heat exchanger includes a core, a duct in fluid communication therewith, a load bearing member positioned adjacent to the core, and a mount which attaches the duct to the member. By connecting the duct to the member, the duct can transfer loads to the load bearing member. This protects the core being damaged by loads applied to the duct. The mount restrains the duct so to transfer loads, from the duct to the load bearing member. Such loads can be from external sources, such as inertia loads and vibration loads.
