Abstract

A header tank of a heat exchanger. The header tank includes a housing defining a coolant chamber through which coolant flows. The header tank further includes a flow control member, which extends into the coolant chamber. The flow control member is configured to advantageously reduce swirling of coolant in the coolant chamber, reduce velocity of coolant in the coolant chamber, and reduce liquid pressure drop of the heat exchanger.
