BRAZED HEAT EXCHANGER WITH FLUID FLOW TO SERIALLY EXCHANGE HEAT WITH DIFFERENT REFRIGERANT CIRCUITS

摘要

Apparatuses and methods described herein relate to brazed heat exchangers, which may be used for example in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) system and/or unit thereof. The heat exchanger includes a fluid flow structure to allow a fluid stream, for example a chilled fluid stream to exchange heat serially with more than one refrigerant circuit, where each refrigerant circuit is a distinct and independent refrigerant circuit. Generally, an apparatus to exchange heat serially with more than one heat exchange fluid circuit includes an internal flow path that allows a working fluid to flow through a first brazed heat exchanger, through one or more internal routing channels, and through a second brazed heat exchanger.
