ABSTRACT:
A fin and tube assembly for a heat exchanger, and a method of making the assembly. A fin and tube assembly for a heat exchanger, such as a motor vehicle radiator, comprises a plurality of apertured fins in stacked relation traversed by one or more tubes. The or each tube is of oblong cross section with initially flat flanks interconnecting rounded ends. After deformation by expansion or distension which exceeds the elastic limit along the rounded ends, the tube is in intimate contact with the similarly configured apertures or collars with which they may be lined, with the longitudinal sides of tube bearing under pressure against inwardly protruding convex edges which define part of the apertures. Alternatively, the tube may be initially of quasi-elliptical cross section and connected to a source of negative pressure to effect a deformation thereof prior to its introduction through the apertures.
