Abstract: A method of exchanging heat that includes flowing a high pressure, high temperature fluid within a tubing generally along a first direction and flowing a low pressure, low temperature fluid within a first gap formed between a first wall and a first portion of the tubing positioned nearest the first wall and a second gap formed between a second wall and a second portion of the tubing that is positioned nearest the second wall.

Abstract: A continuous combination fin for a heat exchanger includes a base wall having a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The continuous combination fin also includes a plurality of entrance louvers in the first portion extending outwardly at a predetermined angle in a first direction from the base wall. The continuous combination fin includes a plurality of exit louvers in the third portion extending outwardly at a predetermined angle in a second direction from the base wall reversed from the first direction. The continuous combination fin further includes a plurality of drainage louvers in one of the first portion and the second portion and the third portion that are off-set relative to each other such that air flows through the entrance louvers and exit louvers and water drains through the drainage louvers.
