Heat exchanger
A heat exchanger is described which consists of: spaced generally parallel header and tank constructions; each of the header and tank constructions having elongated, spaced, tube receiving holes in a header surface thereof; the holes in one header surface being aligned with and facing corresponding holes in the other header surface; and elongated open ended, flattened tubes extending between and into the header and tank constructions through aligned ones of the holes; the portions of each header surface between the holes including exteriorly convex domes defined by compound curves to thereby provide increased resistance to deformation as a result of force exerted by a pressurized fluid within the header and tank construction.
