ABSTRACT:
The drawings and description disclose a radiator having top and bottom tanks with their respective headers, and a core assembly therebetween. The latter includes a group of fins and tubes, wherein each tube has a flattened, oblong body section, cylindrical end sections for connection with the respective headers, and transition sections between the flattened body and the cylindrical ends. Reinforcement means is provided for preventing collapsing or pinching at the ends of the flattened body section due to stressing of the tube or flexing of the headers. The reinforcement means is in the form of various shaped pairs of outwardly extending reinforcement ribs formed on opposite sides of the transition section, or inwardly extending dimples formed on opposite sides of the flattened body section adjacent the transition section.
