Abstract:
A header for a heat exchanger manifold comprises a header plate with a periphery, a plurality of tube openings within the header plate periphery adapted to connect to tubes of a heat exchanger core, a groove around the periphery of the header plate to receive a foot of a tank, the groove comprising inner and outer vertical walls and a lower wall disposed therebetween, and a header groove reinforcement member secured to and extending along an outer surface of the header groove and along at least a portion of the length of the header plate in a direction transverse to the header groove. The header groove reinforcement member comprises a first portion extending along at least a portion of a length of the outer vertical wall in the direction of a distal end, and a second portion extending past a proximal end of the inner vertical wall and along at least a portion of the length of the header plate. The groove reinforcement member prevents distortion of the header groove under service pressure during operation of the heat exchanger.
