Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems
and heat exchangers are provided which include dissimilar tube spacing
configurations. The heat exchangers include multiple sets of multichannel
tubes in fluid communication with each other. One set of multichannel
tubes contains a plurality of tubes spaced apart at one spacing while the
another set of multichannel tubes contains a plurality of tubes spaced
apart at a different spacing. The different spacing between the
multichannel tubes allows each set of tubes to be configured to the
properties of the refrigerant flowing within the tubes.
