  • the terms “longitudinal sides” and “transverse sides” serve merely to distinguish the sides and in no case says anything about their length or their orientation. Both sides, for example, can have the same length, and either side may be, for example, horizontal or vertical.
  • the longitudinal and lateral sides 40 , 42 are each defined by a pair of sides, with the longitudinal side 40 defined both by arms 22 a and 28 b and arms 24 a and 26 b and the transverse side 42 defined both by arms 22 a and 24 b and arms 26 a and 28 b .

  • the heat exchangers 14 , 16 may also operate with multiple passes, as can be provided by the inclusion of baffles in one or more header 82 .
  • the cores 84 , 86 are such as to allow air to pass therethrough in the direction of arrow 88 (see FIG. 1), typically for cooling one or two phase fluids in the heat exchanger tubes.
  • Suitable fasteners 90 are also provided on the angle frame members 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 and are adapted to secure the heat exchangers 14 , 16 in the frame 20 .
  • the fasteners 90 may consist of raised members on the inside of the frame 20 which are received in recesses in the headers 82 of heat exchangers 14 , 16 such that, when the frame 20 is sized so as to be closely around the heat exchangers 14 , 16 , the fasteners 90 will be received in the header recesses and block the heat exchangers 14 , 16 from moving forward (e.g., opposite the direction of the arrow 88 in FIG. 1) out of the frame 20 .
  • each of the angle frame members 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 may be identical, as should be apparent from FIG. 3 in particular. Further, these frame members 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 may be readily adjusted to a variety of heights and widths to accommodate a wide variety of different size heat exchangers and different size compartments within which they must be mounted.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention, in which the frame 20 ′ consists of two U-shaped frame members 100 , 102 so that the frame 20 ′ is adjustable in size in the vertical direction, but has a fixed width.
  • the lower frame member 100 is suitably designed, for example, with reinforcing ribs 108 , to be stable, with the supports 70 ′ suitably fixed to the lower frame member 100 to take up bearing forces when supported (e.g., with dampers 80 ) on a vehicle frame 110 as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the lower frame member 100 may comprise plastic with the upper frame member 102 being formed of metal such as aluminum or steel sheets.
  • the downwardly oriented legs of the upper frame member 102 are suitably adjustable relative to the upwardly oriented legs of the lower frame member 100 .
  • Openings 112 in the lower frame member 100 may be selectively aligned with openings 114 in the upper frame member 102 and secured together in selected step-wise adjustable positions by a suitable fastener such as a screw or bolt or pin 118 inserted through selected aligned openings 112 , 114 .
  • a suitable fastener such as a screw or bolt or pin 118 inserted through selected aligned openings 112 , 114 .
  • Still other fasteners could be used as well, such as shape-mated connections, like snap connections or the like.
  • One or more reinforcing crosspieces 120 may also be provided between the arms of one or both of the U-shaped frame member 100 , 102 , with suitable space provided between the arms, such as a slit as with the first described embodiment, to allow the frame members 100 , 102 to be adjusted without interference from the crosspieces 120 .
  • FIG. 7 Two heat exchangers 14 ′, 16 ′ are illustrated in FIG. 7 in side by side arrangement in the frame 20 ′ (with one of the heat exchangers 16 ′ omitted for illustration purposes in FIG. 9), though it should be understood that frames 20 ′ of this configuration could also support heat exchangers in front to back orientation (or both side by side and front to back orientation) (as could also be the case with all of the embodiments described herein). Suitable fasteners could be provided accordingly (e.g., front and rear sets when front to back orientation is contemplated).
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an enlarged cutout of an elastic fastener 90 ′ which may suitably be used with the present invention.
  • the fastener 90 ′ includes an opening 130 punched, for example, in the cross-strut 134 of the upper U-shaped frame member 102 , and a conical collar 138 formed around opening 130 .
  • a pin 140 (see FIG. 7) is arranged on collecting tank 82 ′ of a heat exchanger 14 ′, and extends into opening 130 , in which a vibration-damping element 144 is arranged between the pin 140 and the collar 138 of the opening 130 .
  • a plurality of such elastic fastener 90 ′ may be provided to stably secure the heat exchangers 14 ′, 16 ′ in position without need for any additional fastening to the frame 20 ′. Further, a certain bias of the frame members 100 , 102 on the heat exchanger 14 ′, 16 ′ can be provided to enhance such fastening. A trough-like recess could also be provided, instead of the opening 130 .
  • Such fasteners 90 ′ not only provide a vibration-reduced mounting of the heat exchangers 14 ′, 16 ′, but also allow for heat-related length changes. If a bias force is exerted on the heat exchanger by means of the framing, the elastic fastening should be designed so that heat-related length changes are also possible.
  • FIG. 10 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the frame 20 ′′, which consists of two generally L-shaped angle frame members 24 ′′, 26 ′′, such as may be similar to the frame members in FIGS. 1-6 and separately shown in FIG. 4. Those two frame members 24 ′′, 26 ′′ themselves provide a three sided frame 20 ′′ which may be infinitely adjusted to different widths according to the needs of the particular installation.
  • the frame 20 ′′ may be completed, if desired, with a fourth side by a third (U-shaped) frame member 140 , or the fourth side may be left open. If a third frame member 140 is used, different sizes may be required depending on the width to which the two frame members 24 ′′, 26 ′′ are adjustably set. However, this is not a serious problem, since the upper frame member can be readily and conveniently made of sheet steel.
  • frames may be provided in a variety of configurations while still embodying the present invention whereby a variety of different size heat exchangers may be accommodated by a single frame.
  • the frame may be adjustable in length along both sides (longitudinal and lateral) via use of four angle frame members.
  • the frame may be adjustable in length along one of the sides by use of two U-shaped frame members according to the second described embodiment.
  • the frame may be adjustable in length along one of the sides by use of two angle frame members, with a reinforcing crosspiece optionally usable according to the size, in accordance with the third described embodiment.
  • the present invention provides flexibility in use so that an entire series of vehicles can be equipped with heat transfer exchangers of varying sizes while using the same frame structure, thereby minimizing or eliminating the cost of manufacturing different size frames, and minimizing the inventory of frames which must be maintained.
  • the ability to readily adjust the frame structure allows the same frame structure to be used for, for example, light, medium and heavy trucks, whereby production of those different size trucks can therefore proceed cost effectively.
  • smaller heat exchangers are provided (because of the lower engine power) and the frame members may be pushed close together and then detachably joined in this position at their arms, so that they enclose, for example, the smallest possible surface.
  • the detachable connection of the frame members allows the frame to be enlarged to provide the significantly larger surface required for those heat exchangers.
