Abstract (en)

[origin: US2008000437A1] The invention relates to a radiator ( 10 ), especially for vehicles, radiator comprising upwardly extending headers ( 11 ). Said headers ( 11 ) are fluidically interconnected in the longitudinal direction by means of parallel cooling pipes ( 12 ). Corrugated ribs ( 13 ) are arranged between the cooling pipes ( 12 ), the ridge lines ( 14 ) thereof extending in the direction of the width (B) of the radiator ( 10 ) and lying respectively alternately on both sides of a cooling pipe ( 12 ). The inventive radiator is also provided with a lateral metal plate ( 40 ) which extends parallel to the cooling pipes ( 12 ), on the outside between the headers ( 11 ), the width (b) of said plate corresponding essentially to the width (B) of the corrugated ribs ( 13 ). According to the invention, the material of the at least one lateral metal plate ( 40 ) is weaker in the regions adjacent to the headers ( 11 ).
