Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004081480A1] A header for an automotive heat exchanger, particularly for high pressure use has first and second header parts bonded to one another at a peripheral interface. At least one of the header elements has a cavity defining formation arranged to define a fluid receiving cavity when the header elements are bonded to one another. The cavity defining formation (or formations) is typically press formed or coined in an aluminium plate such that the peripheral interface is defined by peripheral flanges extending around the entire periphery of the cavity defining formation(s).
