ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger includes a pair of tank units with parallel tube and air centers connected therebetween. The tank units are comprised of a separate tank member and header. The header includes apertures for receiving the tubes, and side cavities. The cavities extend the length of the tank unit and include a base with apertures spaced therein and a side wall with receptacles formed therein. The tank member includes flanges to be received within the cavities. The flanges include a projection for mating with the receptacle and a snap tab received within the aperture to provide a snap-on connection between the tank member and the header. An adhesive is provided within the base to seal, reinforce and prevent corrosion in the tank and header joint.
