A heat exchanger that includes two or more thermal circuits configured to exchange heat. The thermal circuits are located relative to one another in a configuration defined by one of the following: i) in a stacked plate manifold that includes first and second plates configured for inlet/outlet connections and to divide fluid flow into separate tubes with the exchange of heat through a single face; ii) in a complex manifold comprising two or more distributors that separate fluid flow into each thermal circuit with the exchange of heat through a single face; and iii) in a plurality of stacked evaporators; each evaporator comprising a plurality of coils with fins located there between, wherein the evaporators include at least one coil section in which fins are absent.
A heat exchanger, the heat exchanger configured to divide fluid flow into two or more fluidically separated thermal circuits with each of the fluidically separated thermal circuits being configured to exchange heat with air through a single continuous face;
