<p>Heat exchanger assemblies and manufacturing methods that are capable of promoting continuously downward and/or horizontal flow of fluids through a coolant tube of a heat exchanger assemble to reduce the risk of internal clogging. The heat exchanger assembly (10) includes at least one coil (12) adapted to contain a fluid therein and at least two support members (18) supporting the coil (12). The coil (12) is formed of at least one tube having an inlet (20) at an uppermost extent thereof, an outlet (22) at a lowermost extent thereof, a plurality of parallel horizontal rows (14), and a plurality of bends (16,17) at opposite ends of the horizontal rows (14) and fluidically interconnecting the horizontal rows (14) thereof in series to define a serpentine configuration. The coil (12) is adapted to achieve a continuously downward and/or horizontal flow of the fluid therein.</p> |
