Abstract: A heat exchanger device is manufactured by providing a heat exchanger body (10) and a plurality of fins (28) formed from a metal strip (14) having a plurality of slots or slits (26) extending transversely of the strip (14) and defining the fins (28). The strip (14) has at least one continuous longitudinal strip portion (30), so that when the strip (14) is bent or folded appropriately the continuous portion or portions can be welded to the body (10).
