Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly is provided including a primary housing having a plurality of primary condensing fingers extending upwardly from and perpendicular to a horizontal axis and disposed circumferentially about a primary axis. A tube extends radially from the primary axis along the horizontal axis toward a remote housing including remote condensing fingers extending downwardly from and perpendicular to the horizontal axis. The remote condensing fingers are disposed circumferentially about a remote axis extending vertically through the remote housing. The tube interconnects the primary housing and the remote housing and is flexible to facilitate movement of the housings relative to one another.
