Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a side support which has a thermal stress relieving zone in the form of a gap which completely separates one end of the support from the other. The gap is generally symmetrical about a central axis parallel to the longitudinal axes of the side supports of the heat exchanger and is shaped such that a straight line cannot be drawn through the gap from one side of the side support to the other side.
