Heat exchanger with fastener

摘要

A clamshell heat exchanger includes a first clamshell half and a second clamshell half. The first and second clamshell halves each include a through-hole therein. The first and second clamshell halves form a passageway, with a seal region located between portions of the passageway. A fastener is located within the first and second through-holes within the seal region. The fastener is configured to rigidly join the first clamshell half to the second clamshell half while allowing relative lateral motion between said first and said second clamshell halves.
