Abstract

A heat exchanger assembly can include a support structure, a heat exchanger, and an air guide. The heat exchanger can be mounted to the support structure. The heat exchanger and the support structure can cooperate to define a gap. The air guide can block the gap to guide an airflow toward a core of the heat exchanger. The air guide can include a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end can be coupled to the support structure. The distal end can extend a first distance from the proximal end in a first condition and can extend a second distance from the proximal end in a second condition. The second distance can be less than the first distance.
