Abstract
A Multi Port Extrusion tubing (MPE tubing) (10) made from a Multi Port Extrusion (MPE), the MPE being a web like extrusion (Web-MPE) with two or more individual tubes (8) interlinked with webs (9). The webs have a thickness, which is less than the tube diameter of the individual tubes, and the MPE tubing includes at least one bending zone (A), and at least two straight zones (C1, C2). The web-MPE in the bending zone (A) is bent so that each individual tube has a U-shape, and the web-MPE in a first straight zone (C1) is parallel to the web-MPE in an adjacent second straight zone (C2). The web-MPE in the straight zones on each side of the bending zone (A) extend in substantially the same plane, so that all individual tubes of the web-MPE in the straight zones are parallel to each other, and extend in the same plane.
