Special reinforcing members are provided for high pressure containment in critical portions of a thin plate-and-fin heat exchanger. These comprise a plurality of hoops of U-shaped cross section bridging the juncture lines of the heat exchanger manifolds, together with leading edge straps which provide structural reinforcement in the region between the manifolds and the conventional side bar reinforcing members in the central core section. The ends of the leading edge straps are structurally tied respectively to the side bars and the manifold reinforcing hoops.
