Heat exchange panel with improved header

摘要

A heat exchange panel possessing a system of internal tubular passageways connecting opposed headers, said headers defining an angle of at least 91 DEG with respect to the direction of flow of heat exchange medium passing therethrough, wherein said headers are triangular in shape and wherein fluid entry and exit portions extending from said headers are provided with their longitudinal dimensions lying in substantially the same plane as one of the sides defining the outer boundaries of said headers. Said headers are further provided with a plurality of bonded portions placed in alignment so as to define discrete, parallel-directed fluid channels assisting in the distribution of heat exchange fluid. The configuration of the headers provides improved and efficient drainage of fluid from the panel.
