Abstract
An outlet manifold is provided and includes an outlet portion having first and second sides and an inlet portion to which the outlet portion is fluidly coupled. The inlet portion has first and second sides corresponding to the first and second sides of the outlet portion. Each of the first and second sides of the inlet portion includes one or more tubular members connectable with corresponding tube joints and a mixing chamber fluidly interposed between each of the one or more tubular members and the outlet portion.
Claims20
A heat exchanger assembly, comprising:
- a backplane;
- an inlet manifold configured to direct fluid from a first backplane side to a second backplane side;
- first heat exchangers supported on the second backplane side and configured to direct the fluid in opposite outward directions;
- second heat exchangers supported on the first backplane side, the second heat exchangers comprising one or more tube joints and being configured to direct the fluid in opposite inward directions toward the tube joints;
- and
- an outlet manifold comprising, at opposite sides thereof, one or more tubular members configured to respectively connect with corresponding ones of each of the one or more tube joints of each of the second heat exchangers.
