ABSTRACT:
An automotive condenser (10) includes spaced manifold assemblies (18) comprised of semicylindrical tanks (20), matching semicylindrical headers (22) and simple, circular disks (38) serving as manifold separators. The disks (38) are sandwiched between the tank (20) and header (22) with no need for orientation, and with no slots or through notches to pierce the surface of the tank (20) or header (22). The disks (38) sit within matching pairs of common diameter grooves (30, 36) which provide complete, continuous pockets therefore.
