20110167637 | HEAT EXCHANGER CORE METHOD AND APPARATUS - An apparatus for assembling a heat exchanger core matrix has a tube feed means for feeding heat exchanger tubes to a support surface upon which the heat exchanger is assembled and fin feed means for feeding heat exchanger fins to the same support surface. Both the tube feed means and the fin feed means are located above the support surface and, in use, the apparatus is operable to sequentially and vertically feed the tubes and fins to the support surface via a common feed guide. This arrangement enables the manufacture of large format heat exchanger cores. | 07-14-2011 |
