  • Enhanced surface area for sideplate heat exchanger bracket
    Patent number: 8840076
    Abstract: A connecting device is used in combination with a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has orthogonally oriented first and second mount members. The connecting device includes a body having opposed first and second sidewalls. A first sidewall extension is integrally connected to and extends orthogonally with respect to the first sidewall, and includes a first planar mount surface. A second sidewall extension is integrally connected to and extends orthogonally with respect to the second sidewall. The second sidewall extension is oppositely facing with respect to the first sidewall extension and includes a second planar mount surface. A mounting wall extension is integrally connected to and extends orthogonally with respect to the first and second sidewall extensions and includes a third planar mount surface. The first, second and third planar mount surfaces are oriented coplanar with respect to each other and are connected to the first mount member using brazing joints.
