  • the first and second side pieces 6 of each core unit 2 are arranged adjacent outermost ones of the air fins 10 of the core unit 2 in order to bound the tube and fin matrix 3 in the core stacking direction A.
  • the first and second side pieces 6 of a core unit 2 can define the outermost boundaries of the core unit 2 in the core stacking direction A.
  • the side pieces 6 can be used during the joining of the tube and fin matrix 3 to apply a compressive load in the core stacking direction A in order to ensure that contact between adjacent ones of the air fins 10 and tubes 11 is maintained.
  • the air fins 10 , fluid conveying tubes 11 , header plates 5 and side pieces 6 can all be constructed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and can be joined together in one or more brazing operations to form a core unit 2 .

Also, other joining methods may not be suitable for many applications.

  • Ribs 17 can be included within the intermediate tank 4 . These ribs 17 can be used to strengthen the intermediate tank 4 with respect to loads exerted by fluid pressure acting on the tank walls, and can also provide structural support for the heat exchanger assembly 1 (e.g., against forces tending to rotate or tilt one core unit 2 with respect to another). Additionally or alternatively, the ribs 17 can be used to prevent at least some re-mixing of the fluid within the intermediate tank 4 .
  • the ribs 17 shown in FIG. 5 are arranged so that one rib 17 is located between each pair of adjacent tubes 11 . In other embodiments of the invention, fewer ribs 17 are used, and in some embodiments the ribs 17 are eliminated entirely.

At least one of the flanges 16 of the intermediate tank 4 can be used, in conjunction with a gasket 13 , to create a fluid-tight seal between said intermediate tank 4 and the header plate 5 arranged alongside the adjacent open face 15 by creating a crimp joint as was previously described with reference to FIG. 4 . Again, such a joint can be especially desirable when the intermediate tank 4 is constructed of plastic, and also finds particular use in a variety of applications where other joining methods are not possible or are unsuitable.
  • the intermediate tank 4 can be advantageously located within the previously described core stacking direction outermost boundaries of the core unit 2 .
  • multiple heat exchanger assemblies 1 can be placed immediately adjacent one another in the core stacking direction A.
  • the use of crimp joints between the intermediate tank 4 and the adjacent core units 2 enables a maintenance-free compressed joint requiring no screws, bolts, or other separate fasteners, in one embodiment, while still providing a strong and stable connection between the core units 2 .
  • a plurality of pairs of core units 2 are arranged immediately adjacent one another in the core stacking direction A.

  • the overall heat exchanger assembly 1 , 101 can be modular in nature.
  • a user in some embodiments can partially disassemble the system to remove, service, repair, and/or replace one or more of the pairs of core units 2 and intermediate tank 4 as desired. In some embodiments, this action can be performed without disassembly or removal of the other core units 2 in the system.
  • the fluid or center tank and the fluid conveying tubes of a first pair of core units 2 can together at least partially define a first fluid flow path
  • the center tank and fluid conveying tubes of a second pair of core units 2 can together at least partially define a second fluid flow path.

  • the inlet tanks of at least two of the pairs of core units 2 can be plumbed together so that their respective fluid flow paths are in parallel with one another.
  • at least one of the fluid flow paths is in series with at least one other of the fluid flow paths.
  • a heat exchanger assembly as described above can find utility as an engine coolant radiator for use in large machinery, such as construction, agricultural, and mining equipment, among others.
  • a radiator is used to reject heat from a flow of coolant passing through the tubes of the core units to an air flow directed over the air fins and the outer surfaces of the tubes. It should be understood, however, that a heat exchanger assembly according to the present invention can find utility in other applications as well.
  • a highly effective brazed tube and fin core construction can be used to create a heat exchanger assembly that is larger in face area than can be accommodated within an available brazing furnace.
  • the heat exchanger assembly can thus be constructed of compact core units that are compactly packaged together with minimal air blockage or bypass.
  • individual core sections of the heat exchanger assembly can be replaced when damaged without needing to replace the entire heat exchanger assembly, thus decreasing the repair and replacement cost.
