Abstract

A heat exchanger (10; 110; 210) includes a hollow fairing (14; 114; 214), a heat exchanger core (12; 112; 212) disposed in the hollow fairing (14; 114; 214) and comprising a plurality of fluid conduits (15; 115; 215), at least one external manifold (16, 18; 116, 118; 216, 218) disposed external to the hollow fairing (14; 114; 214) and fluidly coupled to the plurality of fluid conduits (15; 115; 215), and at least one compliant support structure (42, 44; 142, 144; 242; 244) connected to the at least one external manifold (16...218). The at least one compliant support structure (42...244) includes a first support leg (22A-1, 22B-1, 24A-1, 24B-1; 122A-1, 124A-1; 222A, 224A), a second support leg (22A-2, 22B-2, 24A-2, 24B-2; 122A-2, 124A-2; 222B, 224B), and a compliant member (46, 50, 52; 146, 150; 246, 248). The first support leg (22A-1...224A) extends from the at least one external manifold (16...218). The second support leg (22A-2...224B) extends from the hollow fairing (14; 114; 214) or an external structure (20; 220) of the heat exchanger (10; 110; 210) toward the first support leg (22A-1...224A) and is separated from the first support leg (22A-1...224A) by a first gap. The compliant member (46...248) is connected to one or both of the first support leg (22A-1...224A) and the second support leg (22A-2...224B).
