  • Patent number: 5871045
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a container with an outer mantle and pipes positioned in the container for conveying a heat-receiving medium through the container. The heat-transferring medium flows exterior to the pipes in counter flow to the heat-receiving medium in the pipes. A common inlet tube is connected to the container and communicates with the pipes for introducing the heat-receiving medium. A common outlet tube is connected to the container and communicates with the pipes for removing the heat-receiving medium from the pipes. The pipes extend meander-shaped within the container. The common inlet tube penetrates the outer mantle on opposite sides and has an inflow end and a remote end. The inflow end is pressure-tightly connected to the outer mantle. The common outlet tube penetrates the outer mantle on opposite sides and has an outflow end and a remote end. The outflow end is pressure-tightly connected to the outer mantle.

  • Patent number: 5613551
    Abstract: An improved radiator assembly for supporting a cooling core has first and second push pads positioned contiguous to the opposite sides of the cooling core. The push pads have spaced apart slots therein. First and second side rails are positioned contiguous to the first and second push pads. The side rails have spaced apart tabs that extend within the push pad slots. The slots are of greater longitudinal dimension than the tabs thereby permitting the push pads to move longitudinally relative to the side rails. A plurality of tie rods extend between the side rails to hold the side rails and thereby the radiator assembly together.
