Abstract

A heat exchanger, typically a condenser for a motor vehicle air conditioning system, comprises a set of tubes aligned with each other and having their ends extending through apertures into the interior of a tubular wall of a header of the heat exchanger, the tubes being secured to the header. The tubular wall is formed with at least one internal projection against which the end of each tube is abutted.
