Abstract
An air conditioning condenser is provided with a pair of oppositely disposed headers having an exterior wall between which a plurality of substantially flat parallel flow tubes are disposed for providing fluid communication between the headers. The flow tubes are flat and have opposite side edges which are located on opposite sides of the condenser. At least one mounting bracket is attached to the air conditioning condenser. The mounting bracket is formed from a pair of opposite bracket members. The bracket members each have a header engagement portion and an inwardly protruding tube engagement portion. The header engagement portion of each bracket member has an inner wall for contacting the exterior wall of one of the headers so that when the bracket members are joined together, the header is held between the inner walls of the header engagement portions. The tube engagement portion of each bracket member terminates in an inner face and has a plurality of slots. Each slot extends outward from the inner face and is parallel to the flow tubes for receiving one of the side edges of the flow tubes when the bracket members are joined together. A mounting flange is joined to each bracket member for mounting the heat exchanger to an appropriate support structure.
