Abstract
A heat exchanger is provided including a first header and a second header and a plurality of heat exchange tube arranged in spaced parallel relationship and fluidly coupling the first and second header. A flow restricting element defining a first volume and a second volume is positioned within one of the first and second header. The heat exchanger has a multi-pass configuration such that a first portion of the plurality of heat exchange tubes are coupled to the first volume and form a first fluid pass of the heat exchanger and a second portion of the plurality of heat exchange tubes are coupled to the second volume and form a second fluid pass of the heat exchanger. During operation, the heat transfer fluid conveyed through the first volume has a first saturation temperature and the heat transfer fluid conveyed through the second volume has a different second saturation temperature.
