A fired process heater includes a radiant coil assembly having a radiant coil bundle with a radiant coil bundle inlet and a radiant coil bundle outlet, and a manifold support assembly fluidly connected to and configured to support the radiant coil assembly. The manifold support assembly has a manifold support inlet, a manifold support outlet, and a manifold support flow path in fluid communication with a manifold support coil bundle. The process fluid flows through both the radiant coil assembly and the manifold support assembly, with the manifold support assembly cooled by heat transfer from the process fluid while mechanically supporting the radiant coil bundle. Methods are disclosed in which the process fluid flows in either a downstream sequence through convection, radiant, then manifold support, or an upstream sequence through manifold support, convection, then radiant.
