  • Heat exchanger having convoluted fin end and method of assembling the same
    Patent number: 9395121
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heat exchanger for transferring heat between a first working fluid and a second working fluid. The heat exchanger can include a corrugated fin positionable along a flow path of the first working fluid between adjacent tube walls and being operable to increase heat transfer between the first working fluid and the second working fluid. The fin can include a leg defined between adjacent folds. The heat exchanger can also include a plurality of convolutions extending inwardly from a distal end of the leg and terminating at different distances from the end.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 19, 2016
    Assignee: Modine Manufacturing Company
    Inventors: Steven P. Meshenky, Charles M. Rastall

  • HEAT EXCHANGER SUPPORT AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A HEAT EXCHANGER
    Publication number: 20090277606
    Abstract: A heat exchanger that includes a heat exchanger core including a plurality of stacked tubes defining a fluid flow path, a housing substantially surrounding the heat exchanger core, and an elastomeric member positioned between the heat exchanger housing and the heat exchanger core and deformable to allow movement of one of the heat exchanger core and the housing relative to an other of the heat exchanger core and the housing in at least two substantially perpendicular directions.
