Abstract (en)
A heat exchanger distribution assembly (16) includes a channel guide (28) comprising an outer surface (30). Also included is an outer shell (20) comprising a hollow portion (26) and a plurality of distribution holes (48). The channel guide (28) is at least partially disposed within the hollow portion (26). Further included is a plurality of channel grooves (46) disposed between an inner surface (24) of the outer shell (20) and the outer surface (30) of the channel guide (28). The plurality of channel grooves (46) are configured to convert circumferentially spaced flow passages to axially spaced flow passages to route the fluid to a plurality of layers (50) of a heat exchanger (18).
