Dear all,

I am rather new to air cooler design. One of my customer has requested me to design a thrust block for the header box recently but I have no idea how it looks like and where to start off.

Appreciate if anyone here could provide an image or sketch etc.. for this thrust block for my better understanding. Also please advise how should I start to design? Any approach or program that I can look for?

Lastly is thrust block only applicable to split headers? What if it is a single pass bundle?

I have actually revert to customer for more information yet they replied that the thrust block is nothing but the construction same as sliding plate assembly. Is that true?

Your reply is deemed precious to me.

Thank you.
