Abstract

A condenser assembly is provided. The condenser includes a first tube-and-fin module (5) having a first flat tube with a first group of microchannels (52) formed parallelly therethrough. The condenser also includes a second tube-and-fin module (5) arranged next to the first tube-and-fin module. The second tube-and-fin module includes a second flat tube with a second group of microchannels (52) formed parallelly therethrough. The condenser further includes a bottom panel (2) having a bottom group of microchannels. The bottom panel is sealingly coupled to the first and second flat tubes at one common end thereof. The bottom group of microchannels (21) extends between and communicates with the first and second groups of microchannels defining a plurality of continuous passages.
