A hot water device includes a heat exchanger and an apparatus to which the heat exchanger is to be connected. First and second cases for the heat exchanger and the apparatus to which the heat exchanger is to be connected include first and second flange portions laid over each other and welded together. The first and second flange portions are each demarcated into a corner flange portion corresponding to one of first and second corner portions, and into a non-corner flange portion other than the corner flange portion. The non-corner flange portions protrude more to the outside of the first and second cases than the corner flange portions.

Planar element adapted to form, when stacked with a plurality of other such elements, a heat exchanger, comprising an inlet region, a first zone adapted to direct flow from the inlet region towards a second zone, a second zone comprising at least one cutout in the plane of the planar element, adapted to accommodate a cooling core, a third zone, adapted to direct flow from the second zone towards an outlet region and an outlet region, the planar element comprising a first blockage protrusion disposed along a first group of said side edges, the first group comprising at least a side edge adjacent to said outlet region, and a second blockage protrusion disposed along a second group of said side edges, the second group comprising at least a side edge adjacent to said inlet region.

Heat exchanging module (1) comprising at least a heat exchanger (2) between two fluids and a housing (6), said housing (6) having at least an inner frame (20) and an outer frame (60), the inner frame (20) being arranged for holding the heat exchanger (2), the outer frame (60) being arranged for holding the inner frame (20), characterized in that the inner frame (20) and the outer frame (60) are separated by a non-null distance (100) configured to form a thermal isolation between the heat exchanger (2) and a surrounding environment of the housing (6).

A radiator assembly includes a frame and a radiator mounted to the frame proximate a front of frame and defining a radiator plane extending along a front surface of the radiator. Each of a plurality of fans is mounted to the frame rearwardly of the radiator, with each fan defining a fan rotation axis that extends outwardly and rearwardly away from the frame.

A heat exchanger with increased heat transfer capability includes first and second end plates, tubes extending between the first and second end plates and fins disposed between the tubes. The heat exchanger is disposable within and differs in shape from a space defined between first and second walls such that corners of the first end plate abut the first wall and a point of the second end plate abuts the second wall, the first wall diverges from the corners of the first end plate to define a first open region and the second wall diverges from the point of the second end plate to define second open regions. At least one of the first end plate and the second end plates includes enhancements fluidly communicative with the at least one corresponding one of the first open region and the second open regions.

A heat exchanger includes a body portion and a pair of end plates at least partially forming an enclosure with the body portion. A plurality of tubes extend through at least one of the body portion and the pair of end plates. At least one tube sheet includes a plurality of openings with a corresponding one of the plurality of tubes located in one of the plurality of openings. The tube sheet is made of a material which expands in the presence of refrigerant.

A device for transferring heat from a device component to an environment includes a heat plate connected to a spring. A first fastener attaches the spring to the heat plate at a first location. A second fastener, such as a rivet, attaches the spring to the heat plate at each of a second and a third location. The second fastener includes a tab on and extending above the heat plate and corresponding tab slot on the spring. The spring is riveted to the heat plate at the first location and a second spring member accepts the tab at each of the second location and the third location. Ribs on a top surface of spring facilitate thermal coupling of the spring to the component when the device is assembled. One or more spring curvatures facilitate vertical deflection and horizontal extension of the spring during device assembly.

A cooling unit has a member-to-be-cooled, a duct, and a cushioning material. The member-to-be-cooled has a plurality of cooling fins. The duct is fixed to the member-to-be-cooled, has a partition wall facing the plurality of cooling fins, and conveys a fluid to around the plurality of cooling fins. The cushioning material is disposed between the partition wall and the plurality of cooling fins and fixed to the partition wall.

A heat exchange module, comprising an array of microchannels, where the array of microchannels extends in a first direction, and are separated from one another by a first sidewall. The array of microchannels is over a cold plate. A first array of fluid distribution channels is stacked over the array of microchannels and extend in a second direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The first array of fluid distribution channels extends from the first manifold and terminate between a first manifold and a second manifold. A second array of fluid distribution channels is stacked over the array of microchannels. The first array of fluid distribution channels and the second array of the fluid distribution channels are fluidically coupled to the microchannel array. A wall extends into the microchannel array below a second sidewall separating ones of the first array and ones of the second array of fluid distribution channels.
