Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly includes a core assembly having air passages that are closed off on at least one side by a closure bar. A reinforcing bar is received within a channel of the closure bar to create an interface with substantially no gaps that may accumulate moisture within the core assembly. The prevention of moisture accumulation at the interface between the reinforcing bar and the closure bar prevents potential damage caused by freezing.
