Abstract
A heat exchanger is provided. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of manifolds and first and second pluralities of tubes that extend between different pairs of the plurality of manifolds. The heat exchange tubes each include a heat exchange portion extending along a straight direction, an outlet portion extending a transverse axis and a transition portion that connects the heat exchange portion to the outlet portion, wherein the transition portion transitions simultaneously in the transverse direction and along an offset axis, wherein the changing direction has vector components along both the transverse axis and the offset axis along the length of the transition portion. Wherein an end of the heat exchange as a jog region that comprises a bend along the offset axis.
