Abstract
A heat exchanger for heat transfer between an external first flow along a first flowpath and a second flow along an internal second flowpath, has: a first manifold; a second manifold; and a plurality of tubes extending from the first manifold to the second manifold and having respective interiors bounding respective legs of the second flowpath. The plurality of tubes comprises a plurality groups of tubes. For each of the groups of the tubes: the tubes of the group have first ends mounted to the first manifold at respective first locations; and the tubes of the group have second ends mounted to the second manifold at respective second locations. From the first manifold to the second manifold, each tube has: a upstream concave first turn; an upstream convex second turn; and an upstream concave third turn; and the second locations are offset downstream along the first flowpath from the respective first locations.
