Abstract
A tube type heat exchanger includes a core includes multiple tubes, a header plate defining an array of apertures in which said tubes are received, and a coolant jacket arranged about said core. The header plate includes a body defining a central region and an edge region circumferential to said central region. The central region defines said array of apertures. The edge region includes a flange. The header plate is connected to the coolant jacket via first and second contact areas between the header plate and the coolant jacket. The flange is outboard of the coolant jacket. The first contact area is between the flange and the coolant jacket; and the second contact area is inboard of the first contact area.
