Embodiment Construction

[0018] A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figures 1-4. Figure 1 shows an exploded view of one embodiment of a heat exchanger 10 of the present invention. The heat exchanger 10 includes a housing 20 including a fluid inlet 25 and a fluid outlet 26 and a plurality of fin elements 40 enclosed within the housing 20 . The housing 20 has a heat conducting portion 22 thermally connected to the plurality of fin elements 40 .

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 20 includes a base 22 and a cover 30 . The base body 22 is made of heat-conducting material and is the heat-conducting part. Optionally and preferably, the base comprises a plurality of ribs 24 or grooves 24' along the inner surface 23. It can be understood that both the base body 22 and the cover body 30 can be made of thermally conductive materials.

[0020] The plurality of fin elements 40 of thermally conductive material are thermally connected to the inner surface 23 of the base b...

Abstract

A fluid heat exchanger has a housing having a thermally conductive base, a plurality of fin members connected to the base in a parallel, spaced relationship, a heat exchanger fluid inlet on one side of the plurality of fin members, and a heat exchanger fluid outlet on the opposite side of the plurality of fin members. The plurality of fin members each have a plurality of passageways and are arranged in the housing so that the passageways of one fin member are offset from the passageways of adjacent fin members.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heat exchanger, and more particularly to a fluid-based heat exchanger. Background technique [0002] Heat exchangers have been used in a variety of applications, including air-cooled heat exchangers as well as liquid-cooled heat exchangers. Liquid cooled heat exchangers typically include a manifold with a labyrinth configuration in which fluid follows a continuous, tortuous path from inlet to outlet. This allows the fluid to travel a longer distance in the manifold and keeps the fluid in contact with the heated or cooled surfaces of the exchanger for a longer period of time. However, prior art heat exchangers are relatively expensive to manufacture and can be relatively large. [0003] The result is compact heat exchangers, which are a little more concerned with size than with ease of manufacture and assembly. Compact heat exchangers are characterized by their high "area density", which means that they have a high ...
