Abstract

An assembly of two heat exchangers is readily formed or disassembled using spring clips to hold the two heat exchangers in assembled relation. The arrangement is such that the spring clips do not exert undesirable tension or compressional forces against either of the cores of the heat exchangers, but rather, exert only torsional forces at the points of connection.
