Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012040281A2] A micro-channel heat exchanger (2) including a first micro-channel heat conduit (4) having a first end section (10) that extends to a second end section (11) through an intermediate section (12). The intermediate section (12) includes a plurality of substantially straight sections (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28) and a plurality of bend sections (30, 31, 32, 33, 34) that establish a first serpentine path (47). The micro-channel heat exchanger (2) also includes a second micro-channel heat conduit (6) having a first end portion (60) that extends to a second end portion (61) through an intermediate portion (62). The intermediate portion (62) includes a plurality of substantially straight portions (67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78) and a plurality of bend portions (80, 81, 82, 83, 84) that establish a second serpentine path (97). The first serpentine path (47) extends adjacent to the second serpentine path (97) with the plurality of bend portions (80, 81, 82, 83, 84) being interposed between the plurality of bend sections (30, 31, 32, 33, 34).
