Abstract
A heat exchanger for use in connection with engine cooling systems is disclosed herein. The heat exchanger is typically considered a heat exchanger and comprises a plurality of rows of tubes, a pair of headers secured to the ends of the tubes in a mechanical and brazed joint for providing improved vibration and torsional stress resistance and improved durability. More specifically, the tube include a plurality of dimples or tabulators arranged in opposed or non opposed relation agitate the fluid about the primary heat transfer axis to facilitate heat transfer from the hot fluid to the tube wall.
