Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008079132A1] A heat exchanger includes a first generally vertical header and a second generally vertical header and a generally vertical array of a plurality of generally flat heat exchange tubes extending in a horizontal direction therebetween. Each heat exchange tube has a plurality of channels extending longitudinally in parallel relationship from its inlet end to its outlet end, each channel defining a discrete refrigerant flow path. A plurality of fins extends between parallel-arrayed tubes. To facilitate drainage of the collected condensate from the external surfaces of the flat heat exchange tubes, the tubes are aligned at a slight angle with respect to the horizontal so that the trailing edge of each tube is positioned lower than the leading edge of each tube.
