    Abstract: An energy efficient heat pump for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a vapor compression circuit, a heat exchanger of the vapor compression circuit configured to place a working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with an air flow directed across the heat exchanger, and a conduit system of the vapor compression circuit. The conduit system of the vapor compression circuit is configured to direct the working fluid into the heat exchanger and to receive the working fluid from the heat exchanger, wherein the conduit system is configured to direct the working fluid into the heat exchanger to place the working fluid in a counterflow arrangement with the air flow directed across the heat exchanger in a cooling mode of the heat pump and in a heating mode of the heat pump.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a heat exchanger includes providing a first slab having a first plurality of tubes extending from a first end to a second end of the first slab along a first length of the first slab. The method includes providing a second slab having a second plurality of tubes extending from a third end to a fourth end of the second slab along a second length of the second slab. The method includes positioning a first face of the first slab adjacent to a second face of the second slab in a side-by-side configuration and securing a connector to the first end of the first slab and to the third end of the second slab in the side-by-side configuration. The method includes bending the first slab and the second slab together in the side-by-side configuration to form a bent configuration of the heat exchanger.
