HEAT EXCHANGER TANK WITH FLOW ELEMENTS

摘要

A heat exchanger configured to condition a flow of fluid therein. The heat exchanger includes a first tank, a second tank, and a conditioning assembly having a plurality of tubular elements extending between the first tank and the second tank. The first tank includes a hollow interior, an inlet, and a flow element formed in the hollow interior, wherein a plane generally defined by the flow element is substantially orthogonal to a plane generally defined by inlet openings of the tubular elements, and wherein the flow element includes a first end which curves away from the inlet in respect to a general direction of flow of the fluid entering the tank to manipulate the direction of flow of the fluid.
