Abstract (en)

A pipe connecting structure for a heat exchanger comprising:- a header portion defined by a plurality of parallel elongate header tubes; a connector block having a side face adapted to abut against a side region of an outer one of said header tubes and connection means configured to connect a pipe thereto; and joining means comprising at least one elongate tubular member adapted to be inserted through diametrically opposed holes formed in the side walls of at least said outer one of said header tubes, a first end of said at least one elongate tubular member extending through a corresponding hole in a side wall of the one of said plurality of header tubes furthest from said outer one of said header tubes ,whereby said first end communicates with an interior of said furthest one of said header tubes, and a second end of said at least one tubular member extending through a corresponding hole in said side face of the connector block, whereby said second end communicates with said connection means; whereby the at least one tubular member of the joining means extends between said plurality of elongate header tubes to connect the plurality of elongate header tubes to one another and to the connector block.
