Receiver dryer mounting bracket for a condenser system

A method of securing a receiver dryer to a sub-cooled condenser, said sub-cooled condenser having two spaced apart headers and a plurality of parallel tubes extending between said headers for passing refrigerant between said headers, said method comprising:

• providing a bracket including a body having an oblong opening extending through said body, and having a seat section at a first position along a length of said oblong opening, said body further having a crimp section located at a second position along said length of said oblong opening, said crimp section causing a first span of said oblong opening at said second position to be wider than a second span of said oblong opening at said first position, and said bracket further including an arm coupled to and extending from said body, said arm having a concave surface;
• directing a pipe through said first span of said oblong opening;
• moving said pipe laterally to seat a flange of said pipe in said seat section;
• compressing said crimp section to secure said pipe in said seat section to form a pipe assembly;
• positioning a header attachment end of said pipe in a corresponding hole in one of said headers;
• tack welding said surface of said arm to said one of said headers to attach said pipe assembly to said sub-cooled condenser;
• passing said sub-cooled condenser and said attached pipe assembly through a brazing furnace to braze said pipe assembly to said one of said headers;
• coupling a receiver attachment end of said pipe with a port of said receiver dryer;
• and
• fastening said receiver dryer to said body of said bracket to secure said receiver dryer to said sub-cooled condenser.
