Automotive heat exchanger and power take off assembly

摘要

A power take off assembly for a heat exchanger for a vehicle. The assembly includes a rectangular frame having passages all the vertical sides to marry with core tubes from the heat exchanger, a face plate with a hole to position the power take off sleeve, a back plate with a similar hole, and a sleeve to allow the power take off shaft to pass though the assembly when installed in a heat exchanger for an automobile/truck. The assembly is pieced together and tabs located on the perimeter of the frame lock the front and back plates into place, the sleeve is inserted in the holes, and the entire assembly is brazed in a one shot process.
