Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for providing assurance and evidence that the correct part has been installed. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to two housings that are attached to each other on opposite sides of a heat exchanger. When connected together, the apparatus completes the continuity in an electrical circuit path. In another embodiment, the present invention includes a method for attaching a sensor to a heat exchanger, such that the sensor cannot be removed from the heat exchanger without permanent deformation of a portion of the sensor. In yet another embodiment, the present invention relates to two housings, one having a projection and the other having a receptacle, which are mated together from opposite sides of a exchanger cooling fin.
