Abstract (en)
[origin: EP4012316A1] An embodiment of the invention herein provides a heat exchanger assembly comprising a heat exchanger and a protection grid. The heat exchanger comprises a plurality of tubes with open ends, a pair of manifolds comprising tanks and headers configured to receive the open ends of the tubes and headers configured to receive the open ends of the tubes. The protection grid mounted on the heat exchanger comprises a first pair of sides parallel to headers and a second pair of sides parallel to the tubes. The protection grid is fixed to the heat exchanger along second sides. The protection grid comprises at least one spacing element on at least one of the first side of the protection grid, which interacts with the heat exchanger to deform the protection grid to a curved profile so that at least a portion of the first edge is spaced away from the heat exchanger.
