Patent ID: 8695375

Claim:
A microchannel heat exchanger comprising: a plurality of microchannel tubes including a first set of microchannel tubes and a second set of microchannel tubes; a first circuit including the first set of microchannel tubes, wherein a portion of a first fluid flows through the first set of microchannel tubes and exchanges heat with a second fluid; a second circuit including the second set of microchannel tubes, wherein a remainder of the first fluid flows through the second set of microchannel tubes and exchanges heat with the second fluid, wherein the first fluid from the first circuit and the first fluid from the second circuit combine into a common flow; and the microchannel heat exchanger includes a first header, a second header, and the plurality of microchannel tubes extend therebetween, wherein the first fluid from the first circuit and the first fluid from the second circuit combine into a common flow after exiting the plurality of microchannel tubes, the first header, and the second header.
