Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes extending between two tank bodies. At least one tank body includes a crown portion. At least one groove is formed in the crown portion. In order to avoid the creation of a thinner wall section in the crown portion, the inner and outer surfaces that form the groove are offset from each other.
