1. A heat exchanger for a heat exchange fluid, comprising:
a connector block including
an inlet being a single opening formed on a first side of the connector block and splitting into a first passage and a second passage at a second side of the connector block, and
an outlet being a single opening formed on the first side of the connector block and divided into a third passage and a fourth passage at the second side of the connector block:
a first manifold including at least one first channel and at least one second channel;
a second manifold spaced apart from the first manifold; and
a plurality of heat exchange tubes fluidically connecting the first manifold and the second manifold,
wherein the plurality of heat exchange tubes is divided into a first section of tubes and a second section of tubes,
wherein the at least one first channel is directly connected to the first passage of the inlet and a first set of tubes amongst the first section of tubes, while the at least one second channel is directly connected to the second passage of the inlet and a second set of tubes amongst the first section of tubes,
wherein the first manifold further includes a third channel directly connected to the third passage of the outlet and a third set of tubes amongst the second section of tubes and a fourth channel directly connected to the fourth passage of the outlet and a fourth set of tubes amongst the second section of tubes, and
wherein the first manifold is adapted to prevent the heat exchange fluid from travelling between the at least one first channel and the at least one second channel within the first manifold.
