PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
This invention relates to the field of motor assemblies, heat exchangers and support assemblies thereof.
Particularly, this invention relates to the field of adjustable support assemblies for heat exchangers.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION:
Induction motors typically are coupled with adjunct devices such as heat exchangers. Heat exchangers may be fixed on both sides of the induction motor, thereby providing a balanced symmetric configuration. Tn this balanced configuration, support may only be provided to the centrally located motor, while the heat exchangers are mounted on and thus derive support from said motor.
In alternative cases, a motor include only a single heat exchanger. For appropriate balancing of this dual assembly, it is important that their cumulative centre of gravity be co-axial with the centre of the support. However, such practice is not followed in the industry, wherein majority of the support is provided for the motor itself, while the heat exchanger borrows support from the allegedly stably mounted motor.
Usually, HT induction motors are provided without any support provision for the heat exchanger which is provided on single side of stator frame. Since there is provided a heat exchanger on a single side, it produces an unbalance in the motor. Due to this unbalance, motor tends to topple on the heat exchanger side.

This toppling over of large industrial assemblies is catastrophic to the device as well as to the personnel handling such assemblies. Typically, this support may be required during transportation of the motor and heat exchanger.
PRIOR ART:
JP59086457discloses a vertical motor and heat exchanger coupled to it. It also discloses common base for motor and heat exchanger but does not disclose any vertical support member.
US7370690 discloses an apparatus for supporting heat exchanger.
None of these above-mentioned support devices provide support in multiple axes or even with adjustable settings.
OBJECTS OF INVENTION:
An object of the invention is to provide support in the stool of the motor to support the heat exchanger which is mounted on single side of heat exchanger.
Another object of the invention is to provide vertical and horizontal support for a heat exchanger of a motor.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an adjustable support for heat exchanger of a motor.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a safe and stable support
assembly.
An additional object of the invention is to reduce vibration in a motor and achieve low noise levels of a motor operation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
According to this invention, there is provided a support assembly for heat exchangers coupled with motors having an existing motor support assembly, said support assembly comprises:
a. laterally extending arms from said existing motor support
assembly, adapted to provide horizontal base support for said heat
exchanger of said motor;
b. first bracket adapted to be fitted onto a substantially base portion of
said heat exchanger;
c. supporting member adapted to provide vertical support, extending
from said laterally extending arms, to said heat exchanger of said
motor, said supporting member having a vertical slot for providing
vertical adjustments for fitting the support member in accordance
with height required;
d. second bracket having a horizontal slot for locating said supporting
member in a perpendicular fashion with respect to said heat
exchanger; and
e. fixing means adapted to fix said support member with said second
bracket means upon appropriate horizontal location and appropriate
vertical location.

Typically, a fixing means fixes said support assembly to said first bracket.

Figure 1 illustrates an auxiliary view of the support mechanism for motor and heat exchanger in accordance with the prior art. Figure 2 illustrates a side view of the embodiment of Figure 1. Figure 3 illustrates an auxiliary view of the heat exchanger and the support assembly of the prior art.
The invention will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 3 illustrates a schematic auxiliary view of the motor and heat exchanger with support assembly for both. Figure 4 illustrates a side view of the embodiment of Figure 3. Figure 5 illustrates a support member of said support assembly with bracket fittings. Figure 6 illustrates a support assembly for heat exchanger mechanism of Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figure 7 illustrates a schematic adjustable member of the support assembly.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
Figure 1 illustrates an auxiliary view of the support mechanism for motor and heat exchanger in accordance with the prior art. Figure 2 illustrates a side view of the embodiment of Figure 1. A motor (110), in accordance with the prior art, resides on a stool or a supporting assembly (120). A heat exchanger coupled with said motor extends out of said support

assembly, thus making the entire assembly susceptible to toppling, especially during transportation.
Figure 3 illustrates a schematic auxiliary view of the motor and heat exchanger with support assembly for both, in accordance with this invention. Figure 4 illustrates a side view of the embodiment of Figure 3. Figure 5 illustrates a support member of said support assembly with bracket fittings. Figure 6 illustrates a support assembly for heat exchanger mechanism of Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figure 7 illustrates a schematic adjustable member of the support assembly.
According to the invention there is provided a support assembly (200), adapted to be used with existing support assembly (120), for providing support to the distant side of the heat exchanger (130) of a motor (110) to avoid its toppling.
In accordance with an embodiment of this invention, there are provided laterally extending arms (210) from an existing support assembly, adapted to provide horizontal base support for a heat exchanger of said motor.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a first bracket (220) adapted to be fitted onto a substantially base portion of said heat exchanger.
In accordance with yet another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a supporting member (230) adapted to provide vertical support, extending from said laterally extending arms, to said heat exchanger of said motor. Typically, said supporting member includes a vertical slot for

providing vertical adjustments for fitting the support member in accordance with height required.
In accordance with still another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a second bracket (240) having a horizontal slot for locating said supporting member in a perpendicular fashion with respect to said heat exchanger. Typically, a fixing means fixes the operative upper part of the supporting member on to the first bracket and a separate fixing means fixes the operative lower part of the supporting member on to any one point from the horizontal slot of the second bracket. This one point depends on the depth of the heat exchanger, and is hence customizable. Due to the provision of the horizontal slot, a range of heat exchanger depths can be accommodated with a perfect support fit.

member in a perpendicular fashion with respect to said heat
exchanger; and
e. fixing means adapted to fix said support member with said second
