Plate and shell heat exchanging system having a divided manifold tube

A heat exchanger comprising:

• a manifold tube including an interior for receiving fluid, a longitudinal axis extending through a center of the interior, the manifold tube including an opening for fluid intake and an opening for fluid outlet, and a manifold barrier substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and extending through the interior for dividing said manifold tube into an intake region and an outlet region, the intake region including at least one aperture for fluid flow therethrough, and the outlet region including at least one aperture for fluid flow therethrough;
• and,
• a plurality of heat exchanging plates extending from said manifold tube and in communication with the at least one aperture of the intake region of the manifold tube and the at least one aperture of the outlet region of the manifold tube, each of said plurality of heat exchanging plates including at least one plate barrier defining a first channel having a respective inlet of each heat exchanging plate and a second channel having a respective outlet of each heat exchanging plate, the at least one plate barrier substantially parallel to a respective one of the heat exchanging plates and configured for forming a fluid flow path within each of said heat exchanging plates, into the respective inlet, through the first channel and second channel and out of the respective outlet of each respective heat exchanging plate, the fluid flow path defined from said intake region of said manifold tube to said outlet region of said manifold tube.
