Abstract: A multi-slab microchannel heat exchanger is disclosed. The heat exchanger includes a first slab having a first inlet header and a first outlet header, a second slab including a second inlet header and a second outlet header, a first inlet connector fluidly connected to the first inlet header, a first outlet connector fluidly connected to the first outlet header, a second inlet connector fluidly connected to the second inlet header, and a second outlet connector fluidly connected to the second outlet header. The first slab and the second slab are arranged successively in a direction along a length of the heat exchanger. The first inlet connector, the first outlet connector, the second inlet connector, and the second outlet connector are disposed at a same end of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A split-collar fan orifice apparatus and method are disclosed. The split-collar fan orifice includes a generally semi-annular member having a first end and a second end, the member having an inner surface and an outer surface. The member has a first mating surface on the first end and a second mating surface on the second end. The first mating surface and the second mating surface are different. The split-collar fan orifice further includes a plurality of ribs disposed along the outer surface of the member. The plurality of ribs is configured to provide rigidity to the member. The plurality of ribs includes a first rib and a second rib, and the first rib extends in a first direction and the second rib extends in a second direction.
