Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a connecting arrangement.
  • the invention relates to a connecting arrangement for coupling a heat exchanger to a support structure or another heat exchanger.
  • Heat exchangers such as condensers may be provided with a connecting arrangement to secure it to another heat exchanger such as radiator, or structural base such as an automobile body.
  • the radiator forms part of the engine cooling system to dissipate the heat from the engine and the condenser forms part of the air-conditioning loop of vehicle subsystem for ventilation, heating and/or air conditioning of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
  • the radiator is generally disposed in parallel to the condenser with the connecting arrangement so that they can sit within the same cooling airflow and one fan can provide the airflow through both heat exchangers.
  • the condenser usually comprises two condenser tanks with flow tubes arranged there between.

This results in development of a number of different connecting arrangement designs or heat exchanger designs. Importantly, reusage of existing design or unification of technology is also not possible with the existing connecting arrangements.
