HEAT EXCHANGER

A heat exchanger includes a manifold (102) defining a longitudinal axis, wherein the manifold includes an interior (104) configured for a flow of heat exchange fluid therethrough. A plurality of heat exchanger tubes (106) are connected in fluid communication with the interior of the manifold for exchanging heat exchange fluid with the interior of the manifold. Each tube is mounted to the manifold at a tube/manifold interface (122). Each tube extends into the interior of the manifold from the tube/manifold interface to a respective tube end face (124) that is spaced apart from the from the tube/manifold interface by an offset. The tube end faces collectively defme a tube-end profile (126), e.g., a smooth profile, within the interior of the manifold.
