Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a plurality of flattened, multi-channel heat exchange tubes of generally J-shape extending between an inlet header and an outlet header. Each heat exchange tube has a base bend that extends horizontally between the vertically extending relatively shorter leg, which is in fluid flow communication with the fluid chamber of the inlet header, and the vertically extending relatively longer leg, which is in fluid flow communication with the fluid chamber of the outlet header.
