A header (10) for a heat exchanger, in particular for a charge air cooler, comprising an opening plane (12) with plurality of openings (14) for attachment of tubes, a collar (13) encircling the perimeter of the opening plane (12) and protruding at least partially above the opening plane (12), wherein the header (10) further comprises guiding protrusions (11a, 11b) located along inner perimeter of the collar (13) adjacent to said openings (14) and configured to guide the tubes into the openings (14) upon insertion, wherein the openings (14) have substantially rectangular shape with longer sides (14a) and shorter sides (14b) and are arranged in series along their longer sides (14a), wherein a first group of guiding protrusions (11a) is located adjacent the longer sides (14a) of the openings (14), while a second group of guiding protrusions (11b) is located adjacent the shorter sides (14b) of the openings (14).

An apparatus and methods are provided for finless heat exchanger cores. A heat exchanger core includes an inlet header and an outlet header. The heat exchanger core also includes one or more curved channel frames disposed at least partially between the inlet header and the outlet header. The one or more curved channel frames have a first end and a second end, and one or more fluid passageways that direct flow of a first fluid in a first direction therethrough from the first end to the second end. In some embodiments, at least one of the one or more curved channel frames includes a rounded leading edge and a tapered trailing edge.

A pipe heat exchanger for a baking oven has a plurality of heat exchanger pipe sections configured to guide a heat carrier fluid, the heat exchanger pipe sections being arranged adjacent to each other in an arrangement plane. A distance between adjacent pipe sections is smaller than a pipe diameter and greater than 1% of the pipe diameter. The result is a pipe heat exchanger, which allows a baking space to be heated efficiently and variably.

Provided is an integrated heat exchanger including a header tank in which a gasket is interposed between the header and the tank to seal a portion that the header and the tank are coupled to each other, wherein an inner space of the header tank is partitioned such that a first space portion formed between regions in which the heat exchange medium flows is formed to be in communication with an external region of the header tank through a heat exchange medium discharging means formed at a portion that the header and the tank are coupled to each other, thereby preventing the heat exchange mediums from being leaked between two heat exchange portions and to detect a leakage of the heat exchange medium even when the leakage of the heat exchange medium occurs.

A transfer tube for a thermal transfer device can include at least one wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, where the inner surface forms a cavity, where the at least one wall further has a first end and a second end. The first end can be configured to couple to a terminus of a heat exchanger of the thermal transfer device. The second end can be configured to couple to a collector box of the thermal transfer device. At least a portion of the at least one wall can be disposed in a vestibule of the thermal transfer device. The cavity can be configured to simultaneously receive a first fluid that flows from the first end to the second end and a second fluid that flows from the second end to the first end.

A machining method for a burred flat hole includes first an overhang portion is formed in a flat hole-forming region in a metal plate in a first step, subsequently a flat hole portion is formed in the overhang portion in a second step, and finally burring is formed on the peripheral edge portion of the hole portion in a third step. Accordingly, when burring is to be formed, overhanging machining and perforating machining have been substantially completed, and therefore pressing force of a punch for burring machining can be set to the minimum value necessary for burring formation.
