Abstract
A heat exchanger comprises an end mounting arrangement including a mounting bracket having a first portion for attachment to a support structure and a second portion attached to the heat exchanger. A projection rigidly attached to the end of the heat exchanger is resiliently received in an aperture in the second portion of the mounting bracket. The projection may comprise a pin extending from a plate pair of the heat exchanger, and one end of the pin may be secured between the plates of the plate pair. The mounting bracket may be metal with a resilient element such as a rubber grommet provided in each aperture, or the bracket may comprise plastic in which case a grommet may not be required.
