Disclosed is a microchannel heat exchanger comprising a primary core including a first header and a second header and a secondary core including a first auxiliary header and a second auxiliary header, further comprising a first header interconnect extending between the first header and the first auxiliary header and having a first interconnect fluid passage extending therethrough; and a second header interconnect extending between the second auxiliary header and the second header and having a second interconnect fluid passage extending therethrough.

Microchannel heat exchanger having auxiliary headers and core

Disclosed is a multiport distributor comprising: an elongated member comprising a plurality of inlet ports disposed along a first end of the elongated member, a plurality of first outlet ports disposed along a face of the elongated member, and a plurality of fluid passages disposed within the elongated member and extending between the plurality of inlet ports and the plurality of first outlet ports, wherein the plurality of fluid passages are substantially parallel to one another and configured to convey a fluid in a first direction, wherein the plurality of first outlet ports are configured to direct a fluid passing therethrough in a second direction, wherein the second direction is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.

Multiport fluid distributor and microchannel heat exchanger having the same

A heat exchanger assembly includes a plurality of flattened heat exchanger tubes. The plurality of heat exchanger tubes include a bend that separates the plurality of heat exchanger tubes between extending in a first plane and extending in a second plane transverse to the first plane. An inlet manifold is in fluid communication with the plurality of heat exchanger tubes and includes a distribution insert at least partially extending through an inlet opening in the inlet manifold. An outlet manifold is in fluid communication with the plurality of heat exchanger tubes and includes an outlet opening spaced inward from opposing ends of the outlet manifold.
