Heat exchanger bracket

A heat exchanger, comprising:

• a header configured to receive a refrigerant;
• a plurality of tubes coupled to the header and configured to receive the refrigerant from the header such that a heat exchange relationship is established between the refrigerant and an air flow over the plurality of tubes;
• and
• a bracket comprising:
• a hook portion configured to at least partially encircle an outer surface of the header to engage the bracket with the header;
• and
• a plurality of openings through the hook portion, wherein the plurality of openings is configured to enable a flow of liquid condensate received by the bracket toward a drain pan.

A bracket of a heat exchanger, the bracket comprising:

• a hook portion configured to at least partially encircle a header of the heat exchanger to engage the bracket with the header;
• a plurality of openings disposed in the hook portion;
• a straight portion extending from the hook portion, wherein the straight portion is configured to extend along a plurality of refrigerant tubes of the heat exchanger and along a gap between the header and a plurality of heat exchange fins of the heat exchanger;
• and
• a lip portion extending from the straight portion at an angle and toward the plurality of refrigerant tubes, the plurality of heat exchange fins, or both, such that the straight portion and the lip portion at least partially block the gap from receiving an air flow.
