Apparatus and methods provide for the exchange of heat in a cross flow heat exchanger having heat exchanger sub-chambers in an inline configuration. According to embodiments described herein, the heat exchanger sub-chambers may be arranged in an inline configuration, where two or more of the sub-chambers are positioned generally along a linear axis. In further configurations, to accommodate the linear configuration of two or more sub-chambers, inlet fluid flows to subsequent or downstream sub-chambers are directed to the sub-chambers using bypasses around the upstream or prior sub-chambers. Various configurations may reduce or minimize pressure losses of one or more of the fluids moving through the heat exchanger. |
