A multi-row heat exchanger coil includes a first row of coil, a second row of coil positioned generally parallel to the first row of coil, a bent portion fluidly communicating the first and second rows of coil, an interior space formed between the first and second rows of coil, and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes at least one connection member configured to connect the first and second rows, thereby securing the first and second rows of coil to each other, a mounting member configured to prevent airflow from exiting from the interior space at a side of the multi-row heat exchanger coil, and fastening mechanism configured to attach the mounting member to the connection member.
A mounting assembly for mounting a multi-row heat exchanger coil to a desired wall surface, wherein the multi-row heat exchanger coil including a first row of coil, a second row of coil, a bent portion that fluidly communicates the first and second rows of coil to each other, an interior space formed between the first and second rows of coil and an attachment side where the mounting assembly is attached, the mounting assembly comprising:
A multi-row heat exchanger coil, comprising:

This disclosure relates generally to refrigeration systems, and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to heat exchanger coils used in refrigeration systems.
Heat exchanger coils are generally attached to a cabinet wall of an air handler of an HVAC system, or other suitable wall surfaces, such as a wall surface in a cooling space. Various configurations of mounting assemblies are used for mounting heat exchanger coils.
Some embodiments of a mounting assembly for mounting a multi-row heat exchanger coil can be configured to have at least one connection member that connects a first row of coil and a second row of coil, thereby securing the first and second rows to each other, and a mounting member positioned generally in parallel with the connection member for mounting of the multi-row heat exchanger coil.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a mounting assembly mounted on a multi-row heat exchanger coil.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the multi-row heat exchanger coil of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of connection members of the mounting assembly of FIG. 1 with inserts to be inserted into respective slots defined in the connection members.
Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.
Some embodiments of a mounting assembly for mounting a multi-row heat exchanger coil can be configured to have at least one connection member that connects a first row of coil and a second row of coil, thereby securing the first and second rows to each other, and a mounting member positioned generally in parallel with the connection member for mounting of the multi-row heat exchanger coil.
Moreover, the connection member can be positioned in a vicinity of a bent portion of the multi-row heat exchanger coil, thereby enhancing strength in a bent portion of the multi-row heat exchanger coil.
