1. A heat exchanger, comprising:
a first manifold;
a second manifold provided opposite to the first manifold;
a plurality of tubes extending between the first manifold and the second manifold to enable flow of heat exchange fluid therein;
a first blocking element provided in the first manifold to divide the plurality of tubes into a first set of tubes and a second set of tubes, wherein the second set of tubes is in a fluid communication with the first set of tubes through the second manifold;
an inlet provided on the first manifold, corresponding to the first set of tubes, to introduce the heat exchange fluid to the first set of tubes;
a second blocking element provided in the first manifold, corresponding to the second set of tubes, to further divide the second set of tubes into a first segment of tubes and a second segment of tubes, wherein the direction of flow of the heat exchange fluid is same in both the first segment of tubes and the second segment of tubes;
a plurality of outlets provided on the first manifold, corresponding to the second set of tubes, to receive the heat exchange fluid from the second set of tubes;
a first perforated blocking element that is adapted to cooperate with at least one of the second set of tubes in the first manifold, to increase pressure drop of the heat exchange fluid at an exit of the second set of tubes; and
a second perforated blocking element and a third perforated blocking element provided in the second manifold and the first manifold respectively, corresponding to the second segment of tubes,
wherein the third perforated blocking element is posterior to the second blocking element.
