  • Fastener-less retained heat exchanger mounting bracket for low installation force
    Patent number: 9146061
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for a heat exchanger. The mounting bracket includes a heat exchanger engagement portion and a mounting portion. The heat exchanger engagement portion includes a retention member. The mounting portion extends from the heat exchanger engagement portion and is configured for fixedly mounting the mounting bracket. Cooperation between the retention member and the heat exchanger secures the heat exchanger to the mounting bracket.
