ABSTRACT:
A heater core includes an inlet tank, a return tank, and an outlet tank. A plurality of parallel inlet flow tubes extend from the inlet tank to the return tank. A plurality of outlet flow tubes extend parallel to the inlet flow tubes between the return tank and the outlet tank. Corrugated cooling fins are disposed between adjacent inlet and outlet flow tubes. A perforated inlet baffle plate is disposed angularly within the inlet tank. The inlet baffle plate has a calculated angular orientation, length, and spacing within the inlet tank. An unperforated return baffle plate is disposed in the return tank. The return baffle plate has a calculated length and spacing within the return tank. The inlet baffle plate and return baffle plate provide uniform coolant flow through the plurality of inlet and outlet flow tubes.
