Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9304334A1] A manifold assembly (110) for use with heat exchangers comprises an extruded unitary tank (120) having a substantially U-shaped cross section and a unitary stamped header plate (150) which can either be substantially planar or have a substantially U-shaped cross section. The longitudinal bottom edges (144) of the tank (120) are crimped around the longitudinal side edges (160) of the header plate (150), and the mating surfaces are brazed substantially along their entire lengths. The inner walls (132, 152) of the manifold assembly (110) can include opposed transverse slots (180) therein for receiving baffles (190) for adjusting the flow path within the assembled manifold (110). The tank (120), header plate (150), and baffles (190) are formed of aluminum and aluminum alloy materials suitable for furnace brazing.
