Patent ID: 7441620

Claim:
A heat exchanger and isolation mount system comprising: a heat exchanger comprising a core and a pair of manifolds connected to opposites side of the core to direct a fluid to and from the core; each of the manifolds having a pair of spaced mount bores, each of the mount bores having opposite ends extending through the manifold; four pairs of isolating mount assemblies, each pair of the mount assemblies inserted into the opposite ends of a corresponding one of the mount bores, each of the mount assemblies comprising: a resilient, annular flanged isolator having an annular flange engaged against the corresponding manifold and a body inserted into one of the opposite ends of the corresponding mount bore, and an annular flanged metal sleeve extending through the isolator and having a flanged end engaged against the isolator and a terminal end extending from the isolator into the corresponding mount bore to abut the terminal end of the metal sleeve of the other mount assembly of the pair inserted into the other of the opposite ends of the corresponding mount bore; a pair of side frame members overlying opposite sides of the core, each frame member extending between the pair of manifolds and having a pair of mount flanges sandwiching one of the pairs of mount assemblies in one of the manifolds and another pair of mount flanges sandwiching another one of the pairs of the mount assemblies in the other of the manifolds; and four threaded fasteners, each of the fasteners extending through one of the pairs of mount flanges and through the corresponding pair of mount assemblies to clamp the corresponding pair of mount assemblies and the corresponding manifold between the pair of mount flanges with the mount flanges engaged against the flanged ends of the corresponding pair of mount assemblies.
