Abstract:
1. A heat exchanger comprising: a first panel; a second panel positioned opposite the first panel; a plurality of tubes, the plurality of tubes each having a first end connected to the first panel and a second end opposite the first end connected to the second panel, the plurality of tubes being positioned to permit flow of heat transfer fluid from the second end to the first end; a plurality of conduits, the plurality of conduits each having a first end connected to the first panel and a second end opposite the first end connected to the second panel, the plurality of conduits being positioned to permit flow of heat transfer fluid from the first end to the second end, the first ends of the plurality of conduits being positioned to receive heat transfer fluid form the first ends of the plurality of tubes; a first corrosion resistant body laminated to a surface of the first panel, the first corrosion resistant body being in physical contact with the plurality of conduits to prevent condensate from the plurality of conduits from contacting the surface of the first panel; and a second corrosion resistant body laminated to a surface of the second panel, the second corrosion resistant body being in physical contact with the plurality of conduits to prevent condensate from the plurality of conduits from contacting the surface of the second panel; and the first corrosion resistant body having a surface area less than the first panel and surrounding the first end of the plurality of conduits; and the second corrosion resistant body have a surface area less than the second panel and surrounding the second end of the plurality of conduits; and a first condensate collector sealingly fixed to the first corrosion resistant body such that condensate is prevented from directly contacting the first panel; and a second condensate collector sealingly fixed to the second corrosion resistant body such that condensate is prevented from directly contacting the second panel.
