Patent abstract
A side plate for a heat exchanger and method for making a heat exchanger is provided. The side plate includes at least one localized contact point that can be bonded to a header of the heat exchanger during assembly of the heat exchanger. The localized contact point separates from the header under relatively low tension applied by the thermal expansion and contraction of the heat exchanger under normal operating conditions, thereby allowing the tubes of the heat exchanger to expand and contract.
