Modular heat exchanger with resilient mounting and sealing element

摘要

A heat exchanger having one or more cooling cores connected between an inlet manifold tank and an outlet manifold tank is provided with a resilient element for mounting the cooling cores to the manifold tanks and sealing the connection therebetween. The resilient mounting and sealing element is formed so as to have a strip portion with at least one opening formed therein to receive the tube of a cooling core and a raised lip portion around the strip portion to provide a damped soft mount. The resilient element also includes a grommet portion around the opening which deforms to provide a liquid or fluid-tight seal between the outside of cooling core tubes and the inside of the manifold tank bores which are adapted to receive the tubes.
