Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger for a heat exchange between a first fluid and at least one second fluid is disclosed. The heat exchanger comprises a first manifold, a second manifold and a plurality of tubes configured to provide a fluidal communication between the manifolds for flow of the first fluid. The plurality of tubes comprise a first stack of tubes and a second stack of tubes arranged in parallel to the first stack of tubes. The first manifold comprises at least two inlet channels and at least two outlet channels. The inlet channels and outlet channels are in fluid communication with a desired set of tubes in the first stack of tubes and the second stack of tubes, respectively. This arrangement achieves uniform distribution of the first fluid, provide a longer flow path for the first fluid and increase heat exchanger rate between the first fluid and the second fluid.
