Abstract
An evaporator for a cooling system has a slab coil having a plurality of refrigerant circuits with each refrigerant circuit being a fin-and-tube assembly that extends across the slab coil. At least one of the refrigerant circuits has a mini-slab circuit extender that has a fin-and-tube assembly that extends across only a portion of the fin-and-tube assembly of that refrigerant circuit and is disposed in front of that portion of the fin-and-tube assembly of that refrigerant circuit.
