Abstract (en)
A tank assembly (100) includes a tank cover (10) and a header (20). The tank cover (10) includes longitudinally extending first channels (10a) and (10b). The header (20) includes portions (20a) and (20b) that in conjunction with the first channels (10a) and (10b) defines a first and a second manifold (30a) and (30b). The header (20) further includes apertures (22a) and (22b) that receive the corresponding first set of tubular elements (42a) and second set of tubular elements (42b). At least one of the tank cover (10) and the header (20) includes an extension portion (10c, 20c) extending therefrom beyond the heat exchanger core (40) to form a connection system. The connection system includes an inlet (50a), an outlet (50b) and fluid flow passages (30c) and (30d) configuring fluid communication between the inlet (50a) and the outlet (50b) and the respective first and second manifolds (30a) and (30b).
