OSTI ID:6789624

A heat exchanger has a desired system of tubular passageways for a heat exchange medium defining opposed headers connected by connecting portions of passageways. The passageways have entry and exit portions extending from the headers to provide ingress and egress openings for the heat exchange medium.
