A heat exchanger assembly has elongate tube elements which extend in spaced relation, and a plurality of pipe end couplings 103 which fluidly connect open ends of respective tube elements, wherein the pipe end couplings each comprise a main body part 105 to which the open ends of the respective tube elements (97, fig 8) are fixed, and an enclosure part 107 which is fixed to the main body part 105 and provides a closed fluid connection between the open ends of the respective tube elements; and a plurality of fins (87, fig 7e) which extend in spaced relation and substantially orthogonally to the tube elements. A manufacturing method involves locating fin coupling elements (175, fig 12a) over open ends of tube couplings. |
