Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a manifold and a tube array. The manifold has an internal void and walls that surround the void and merge one with the other via corners. Each wall has a middle portion that is located mid way between the corners merging with the wall and the manifold branches off to attach and communicate with the tube array at a location aside of the middle portion of one of the walls towards a corner that merges with the wall.
