<p>A parallel flow heat exchanger is disclosed having heat transfer tubes with a plurality of relatively small channels, which are aligned in a parallel manner, and wherein the heat transfer tubes are in fluid communication with at least one manifold structure, are received in manifold wall openings and are attached to the manifold structure by brazing process The manifold walls and/or the tubes are modified to minimize the likelihood of brazing material plugging or at least partially blocking any of the plurality of channels In one feature, the openings in the manifold structure are formed by deforming the material of the manifold structure outwardly In another feature, the edges of the heat transfer tubes may be formed such that the outermost end channels within each heat transfer tube extend farther inwardly than do the central channels Various design configurations are disclosed.</p> |
