Abstract
A condenser that includes a top manifold defining a first volume of space and a bottom manifold positioned below the top manifold and defining a second volume of space that has a magnitude that is different than the magnitude of the first volume of space. A core positioned between the top manifold and the bottom manifold, the core including a first set of condenser tubes that are in fluid communication with the top manifold and a second set of condenser tubes that are in fluid communication with the bottom manifold.

A condenser comprising:
- a first manifold defining a first volume of space;
- a second manifold defining a second volume of space that has a magnitude that is substantially the same as the magnitude of said first volume of space;
- a core positioned between said first manifold and said second manifold, said core comprising:
- a first set of condenser tubes that are in fluid communication with said first manifold and said second manifold;
- and
- a second set of condenser tubes that are in fluid communication with said first manifold and said second manifold, wherein a refrigerant is present in a gas phase and liquid phase within said first set of condenser tubes and said second set of condenser tubes, said liquid phase is contained exclusively within said first set of condenser tubes and said second set of condenser tubes irrespective of the thermodynamic conditions within said condenser.
