Abstract
A mounting or end bracket is disclosed for producing plate and fin heat exchangers of the type having a plurality of stacked, hollow plate pairs or tubes including mating end bosses having communicating openings formed therein to form a manifold for the flow of fluid through the plate pairs or tubes. Fins are located between and at the top end bottom of the stacked plate pairs or tubes extending between the end bosses. End fittings are used for the inlet and outlet of fluid to the plate pairs or tubes. The mounting brackets allow the end fittings to be positioned where desired to define different flow circuits through the plate pairs, and also allow different size end fittings to be used, without having to use special spacers, different size fins or specially shaped plates to accommodate the different end fittings. The mounting brackets have a planar central portion and opposed offset end portions located in a plane parallel to and spaced from the central portion. The central portion has spacing projections extending transversely in a direction opposite to that of the opposite end portions. Different fitting sizes are accommodated simply by changing the height of the spacing projections.
