Abstract

An oil cooler for use in a motor vehicle radiator tank is made of a plurality of plate assemblies, each comprising a pair of plate shells. Each plate shell has opposite upstanding walls, and the plate shells are nested so that the upstanding walls are in contact and sealed along their peripheries. The plate shells have deformed walls forming serpentine passageways in thermally conductive communication with the plate shells to transfer heat from the oil, and deformed projections extending into the interior space in passageways cause turbulence in the oil. Fittings for passage of oil into and out of the oil cooler have a flange with a groove and an elastomeric gasket with an elliptical cross section to seal the fittings to the tank wall opening. The oil cooler is mounted within the tank so that it is located approximately equidistant from the front and rear tank walls.
