Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008147361A1] A parallel flow heat exchanger includes a plurality of connector tubes which fluidly interconnect the individual flat heat exchange tubes to a refrigerant delivery member such that the refrigerant flows along the lengths of the connector tubes and then flows in a direction orthogonal thereto to enter the flat heat exchange tubes to thereby provide improved refrigerant distribution thereto. The refrigerant distribution member may be an inlet manifold or an entrance port or a refrigerant distributor. The connector tubes may be connected so as to conduct the flow in parallel or in series, and an orifice may be placed at the entrance end thereof to improve refrigerant distribution.
