Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly has a pair of spaced extruded tanks and a tube and header subassembly including a pair of header plates on opposite ends of a plurality of spaced parallel tubes. The extruded tanks include stop surfaces thereon for locating the subassembly within the extruded tanks and the extruded tanks further include a pair of seal ribs and a pair of deformable side flanges defining a pocket for receiving flux material to secure the subassembly to the extruded tanks without exposing the flux material to the interior of the extruded tanks.
