Abstract:
A heat exchanger assembly comprising:a compressor; a heat exchanger having a fluid conveying conduit in fluid communication with said compressor and a plurality of substantially planar fins thermally coupled with a first heat exchanging segment of said conduit, each of said fins defining first and second heat transfer surfaces disposed on opposite sides of said fin and wherein said fins are disposed substantially parallel to one another; an airblower mounted in a first position relative to said heat exchanger wherein said airblower generates an airflow in a first direction, said first heat exchanging segment of said conduit substantially extending longitudinally in a second direction, said first direction defining a non-perpendicular first angle with said second direction; and wherein said heat transfer surfaces define at least one airflow passage extending through said heat exchanger in a third direction, said third direction defining a non-perpendicular second angle with said second direction, said second angle and said first angle having a difference of no greater than approximately 30 degrees.
