Abstract
A heat exchanger includes two parallel tank units each providing a fluid space therein and supporting a core therebetween. The core includes parallel tube passes connected between the tank units, and air centers connected between the tube passes for conductive heat transfer with air flowing therethrough. The tank units include tube slots therein for receiving the ends of the tube passes in fluid communication with the fluid space. The ends of the tube passes are arcuate in configuration to allow optimum flow of fluid within the fluid space.
