Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1176378A1] The method for making the shared cooling fins for a heat exchanger comprising two pipes for circulating cooling liquid and which consist of a metal strip divided into two heat exchange zones (18, 20) by longitudinal apertures comprises forming a series of longitudinal slits (22) in a metal strip (14). These are then enlarged to form the apertures. An Independent claim is included for a heat exchanger module containing the fins.
