ABSTRACT:
An integrated heat exchanger includes a first heat exchange core adapted for cooling a first heat exchange fluid and a second heat exchange core adapted for cooling a second heat exchange fluid. A first pair of fluid manifolds supports the first and second heat exchange cores and communicates with the first heat exchange core to allow the first heat exchange fluid to pass between the first pair of fluid manifolds and the first heat exchange core. A second pair of fluid manifolds supports the first and second heat exchange cores and communicates with the second heat exchange core to allow the second heat exchange fluid to pass between the second pair of fluid manifolds and the second heat exchange core. The first and second pairs of fluid manifolds form a quadrilateral support structure with each fluid manifold forming a side of the support structure. The fluid manifolds of the first pair of fluid manifolds are positioned on opposite sides of the support structure and are each connected between the second pair of fluid manifolds. Preferably, the first heat exchange core is a coolant radiator core adapted to use a liquid as the first heat exchange fluid and the second heat exchange core is a charge air cooler core adapted to use compressed gas as the second heat exchange fluid. The coolant radiator core has a perimeter that defines a front face of the coolant radiator core, the charge air cooler core is positioned in front of the coolant radiator core, and the second pair of fluid manifolds is positioned outside of the perimeter of the coolant radiator core.
