Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger (58) in a cabinet (50) space for use in a stationary air conditioning system, wherein the heat exchanger (58) has a pair of substantially horizontal manifold tanks (60, 62) engaged to a plurality of substantially vertically oriented flow tubes (64) bent into substantially an L shape having a bend angle sufficiently steep that condensate runs along the surface under the force of gravity. Furthermore, the heat exchanger (58) has improved fins (66) and is angled in the horizontal direction for less inhibited drainage of condensate.
