Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0387678A1] The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a heat exchanger grid having a multiplicity of oval tubes (3), and a baseplate attached to said grid by widening the tubes (3). The ratio of the diameters of the tubes (3) is 2.5 : 1 to 8 : 1 inside the heat exchanger grid, and 1.2 : 1 to 3 : 1 inside the perforations of the baseplate. A process for fixing such heat exchanger grids to a baseplate is also described. This process is characterised in that before being widened the tube ends are deformed from outside by applying pressure with the aid of a special pressure tool (15, 15a,b), with the result that their cross-sections are reduced parallel to the maximum diameter but increased, by contrast, parallel to the minimum diameter. <IMAGE>
