  • Microchannel heat exchanger for appliance condenser
    Patent number: 11988463
    Abstract: A heat exchanger that includes a microchannel tube having a plurality of straight sections interconnected by a plurality of bent sections; a plurality of accordion-style fins located between adjacent straight sections of the microchannel tube; and a plurality of brackets having a plurality of slots formed therein that are each configured for receipt of a respective straight section of the microchannel tube, wherein the plurality of brackets are configured to compress the accordion-style fins into direct engagement with the adjacent straight sections of microchannel tube, and wherein at least one of the accordion-style fins and the microchannel tube includes a mating feature that prevents lateral movement of the accordion-style fin relative to the adjacent straight sections of the microchannel tube.
