Abstract: A by-pass conduit for a stacked plate heat exchanger is disclosed. The by-pass conduit is formed by first and second plate members that each have a substantially planar central portion surrounded by an offset peripheral flange, the peripheral flanges of the first and second plates being sealably joined together and the planar central portions of the first and second plates being in spaced opposition to define a bypass channel. A flow restricting structure provides a fluid restricting barrier in the bypass channel, the flow restricting structure defining a calibrated by-pass passage that regulates the flow of fluid through the bypass channel.

Abstract: A mounting bracket is shown for use with a heat exchanger core including spaced-apart tubes having peripheral flanges surrounding a manifold. The bracket has a clip and a pair of bearing portions. The clip has a groove adapted to engage the front edge of a selected flange. The bearing portions are connected to the clip and positioned to engage, respectively, the back edge portions of adjacent flanges disposed above and below the selected flange, thereby to grip the core by the tube peripheral flanges. A panel portion is connected to the clip for mounting the heat exchanger core.

Abstract: A mounting bracket is shown for a heat exchanger core having spaced-apart tubes having peripheral flanges surrounding a manifold. The mounting bracket has a first clip grooved to receive a front edge portion of a selected flange, and a pair of second clips, each grooved to receive, respectively, the back edge portion of an other flange disposed above the selected flange, and a further flange disposed below the selected flange. The clips are joined together by a panel portion adapted for the mounting of the heat exchanger. The clips are tapered to distribute bending stresses therealong.
