Abstract
A plate and fin type heat exchanger is provided with an improved mounting arrangement for mounting the heat exchanger, for example, within the intake manifold of a combustion engine for use as a charge air cooler. A plurality of threaded nuts are secured as by welding at predetermined points at the inboard sides of the heat exchanger side plates for receiving bolts passed through aligned bolt-receiving holes in the intake manifold and side plates to secure the heat exchanger in place, thereby providing a mounting arrangement permitting the heat exchanger to occupy substantially the entire cross-sectional area of the intake manifold for optimized heat transfer capacity.
