ABSTRACT:
A manifold for heat exchangers with a manifold segment having slots which are perpendicular to the tube axis and spaced in the longitudinal direction and separated by webs, into which hollow flat tubes can be inserted and joined to the contact surface of the respective slot. The webs each have a pair of stampings to strengthen the material on each side of each web and the webs are relatively flat in shape such that the cross-section of the manifold segment has a generally D-shaped profile. At least one generally D-shaped baffle is inserted in the manifold segment, centered between a pair of adjacend slots. End caps are provided to close the open ends of the manifold, and a bracket can be provided on the manifold to hold it in place. A method of manufacturing the manifolds is also presented.
