A heat exchanger has first and second manifold portions and an array of substantially-parallel heat-transfer tubes extending between the first and second manifold portions. Each heat-transfer tube has an outer surface and an inner surface defining a conduit. In a cross-sectional view, the outer surface of each heat-transfer tube can form a first shape that is non-circular, and the inner surface of heat-transfer tube can form a second shape different than the first shape. Alternatively or additionally, at least one of the first shape and the second shape lacks reflectional symmetry in the cross-sectional view. Methods for fabricating such heat exchangers are also provided.
