Abstract:
1. A multi-sectional heat exchanger assembly comprising; a first heat exchanger assembly and a second heat exchanger assembly, each of said heat exchanger assemblies includes a cylindrically shaped communication manifold; said communication manifold of said first heat exchanger assembly is disposed parallel and adjacent to said communication manifold of said second heat exchanger assembly; each of said communication manifolds defines a plurality of communication orifices disposed linearly along respective said communication manifolds, and a communication plate having a length extending continuously along and sandwiched between said communication manifolds and having a set of saddling surfaces extending continuously along the length thereof and having a shape complementary to said cylindrical shapes of said communication manifolds, said communication plate defines a plurality of communication plate orifices disposed linearly along said communication plate, said communication plate orifices of said first heat exchanger communication manifold are co-axially located within said communication orifices of said second communication manifold to establish fluid communication between said first and second heat exchanger assemblies, wherein said communication plate includes at least one male protrusion extending linearly along each of said saddling surfaces, and wherein each of said communication manifolds define a female notch configured to engage said at least one male protrusion.
