A heat exchanger that includes a microchannel tube having a plurality of straight sections interconnected by a plurality of bent sections; a plurality of accordion-style fins located between adjacent straight sections of the microchannel tube; and a plurality of brackets having a plurality of slots formed therein that are each configured for receipt of a respective straight section of the microchannel tube, wherein the plurality of brackets are configured to compress the accordion-style fins into direct engagement with the adjacent straight sections of microchannel tube, and wherein at least one of the accordion-style fins and the microchannel tube includes a mating feature that prevents lateral movement of the accordion-style fin relative to the adjacent straight sections of the microchannel tube.

Microchannel heat exchanger for appliance condenser

A heat exchanger including a plurality of parallel fins, and at least one tube passing through the parallel fins, wherein the tube carries a fluid that exchanges heat with air passing through the heat exchanger. The parallel fins each include a plurality of air deflecting members formed therein. Each air deflecting member is bent substantially orthogonally relative to a planar surface of each fin, and each air deflecting member is configured to direct the air passing through the heat exchanger to increase turbulence of the air, and to impinge the air against adjacent parallel fins, and to balance air flow across the heat exchanger and decrease maldistribution of the air flow through the heat exchanger.

Fin enhancements for low Reynolds number airflow

A heat transfer tube including an inner surface including a plurality of grooves. The plurality of grooves includes at least primary grooves and secondary grooves, wherein the primary grooves extend axially along a length of the tube, and the secondary grooves intersect the primary grooves.
