ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger assembly includes a first single-piece manifold and a second single-piece manifold spaced from and parallel to the first single-piece manifold. Each of the first and second single-piece manifolds has a tubular wall defining a flow path. A plurality of flow tubes extend in parallel between the first and second single-piece manifolds and are in fluid communication with the flow paths. An insert having a distribution surface is slidably disposed in the flow path of the first single-piece manifold to establish a distribution chamber within the first single-piece manifold. A series of orifices defined in the distribution surface of the insert are in fluid communication with the flow path and the distribution chamber for uniformly distributing a heat exchange fluid between the flow path and the flow tubes.
