ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger such as a motor vehicle radiator of the tube 5 and corrugated fin 6 type has clamping members 7 to hold the fin and tube matrix together to resist outward pressure pulsations. The clamping members are located in position by means of arms 9 which are rigidly connected to the rim 8 of a tube plate into which the tubes 5 are connected, or to any other part of the respective header tank. Sliding movement is permitted between the arms 9 and clamping members 7, so that differential thermal expansion between the clamping members 7 and the tubes 5 which have liquid running through them is taken up by the relative movement of the arms 9 and the clamping members 7. Because the clamping members 7 are of uniform section, and are not directly shaped to be secured to the header tanks, lower tooling costs are possible.
