A header for a heat exchanger orients the position of an inlet port at an angle offset from the position of the outlet port on the header body in order to simplify the plumbing of the header within a system. In one implementation of a header for a heat exchanger, the header forms a header cavity defined by an external wall and which is separated into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber by a dividing wall. An inlet port is defined within the external wall and is in fluid communication with the inlet chamber. Similarly, an outlet port is defined within the external wall and is in fluid communication with the outlet chamber. The inlet port is oriented on the external wall at an offset angle with respect to a position of the outlet port. 1. A header for a heat exchanger comprisinga header cavity defined by an external wall and separated into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber by a dividing wall;an inlet port defined within the external wall in fluid communication with the inlet chamber; andan outlet port defined within the external wall in fluid communication with the outlet chamber; whereinthe inlet port is oriented on the external wall at an offset angle with respect to a position of the outlet port.2. The header for the heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the offset angle is 90 degrees.3. The header for the heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the offset angle is 180 degrees.4. The header for the heat exchanger of further comprisingone or more heater outlet ports in fluid communication with the inlet chamber; andone or more heater inlet ports in fluid communication with the outlet chamber.5. The header for the heat exchanger of claim 4 , wherein the heater outlet ports are positioned at a second offset angle with respect to a position of the heater inlet ports.6. The header for the heat exchanger of claim 4 , wherein the heater outlet ports are positioned in a common plane with the heater inlet ports.7. The header for the heat exchanger of claim 6 , wherein the ...
