Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2413082A2] A heat exchanger includes a pair of manifolds 20 each extending between manifold ends 22 and defining a plurality of slits 30 disposed in a plurality of parallel slit rows R and each slit having a center axis C. The center axes C of the slits in each of the slit rows R are aligned in a row plane P. Reinforcement members 38 extend between reinforcement ends 40 each of which have at least one tab 48 for connection thereof to one of the manifold ends 22. Each of the manifolds 20 has at least one retainer 42 for clamping one of the reinforcement members 38 thereto. Each of the tabs 48 include at least one connector 50 extending toward the adjacent manifold end 22. One of the connectors 50 is centered on each of the row planes P to define row isolating openings 52 between adjacent connectors 50 to isolate each of the row planes P from differential forces of adjacent row planes P.
