A heat exchanger has a structure in which a heat exchanger main body through which coolant flows is obliquely installed in a box-shaped enclosure, the heat exchanger main body is constituted by a header pipe and a plurality of heat transfer pipes connected to the header pipe and disposed at predetermined intervals along a surface of a part of the header pipe, the header pipe has an area adjacent to an inner surface of the enclosure, and a seal section is provided between the inner surface of the enclosure and the area of the header pipe adjacent to the enclosure.

Embodiments may relate to a microelectronic package that includes an integrated heat spreader (IHS) coupled with a package substrate. The microelectronic package may further include a sealant material between the package substrate and the IHS. The sealant material may be formed of a material that cures when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

An apparatus includes a gas input and a cooling plate. A groove surrounds the gas input and less than one hundred percent of the cooling plate. An inflatable seal is in the groove.

A component that generates or requires heat includes a heat exchanger integrated with the component. The component includes a component housing holding functional parts of the component, and the heat exchanger has a heat exchanger housing formed integrally with the component housing. There is a first fluid circuit in which a first fluid flows through the component in a heat exchange relationship with the functional parts, into the heat exchanger via a first fluid inlet, through the heat exchanger, out of the heat exchanger via a first fluid outlet, and back to the functional parts of the component. The heat exchanger has a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet for connection into a second fluid circuit in which a second fluid flows from outside of the component into the component.

A tube-to-header sealing system for a heat exchanger comprises a pair of mating header plates, each header plate having a wall with a plurality of openings therein and including a continuous depression along the circumference of each header plate opening which forms one-half of an O-ring groove. Each of a plurality of O-rings is positioned in each O-ring groove and the header plates are secured together such that the header plate plurality of openings are aligned and trap each of the plurality of O-rings in O-ring grooves. A plurality of spaced-apart tubes each having a tube end secured in an opening in the wall of the header to form a tube-to-header joint are expanded outwardly to provide sufficient O-ring deformation to obtain a seal. In service, the resiliency of the O-ring seal allows for expansion and contraction of the tubes without the build-up of high stresses at the tube-to-header joint.

A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger shell and a heat exchanger core defined by plurality of core elements releasably connected together when positioned within the heat exchanger shell. Each core element is defined by first and second opposing plates permanently fixed together with a fluid flow path formed therebetween. A coolant flow path is formed between adjacent core elements. A fluid seal positioned between adjacent core elements is configured to form a fluid tight seal between the fluid flow path and the coolant flow path.

A porthole gasket to be installed between a corrugated first plate and a second plate of a heat exchanger such that a central extension plane of the gasket is parallel to the first and second plates is annular and arranged to enclose, within the gasket inner periphery, porthole areas of the first and second plates. A first surface of the gasket, configured to engage the first plate, is corrugated to define alternately arranged gasket ridges and gasket valleys along a longitudinal extension of the gasket. The ridges and valleys mate with plate valleys and plate ridges, respectively, of the first plate. A second surface of the gasket, configured to engage a plate arrangement comprising the second plate, is essentially plane and arranged to contact an essentially plane surface of the plate arrangement. The ridges protrude, and the valleys descend, in a normal direction of the central extension plane.

Provided is a polymer-based pulsating heat pipe that has high flexibility and is applicable to a flexible electronic device. In addition, by surrounding a channel by a multilayer film including a first blocking layer and coating a bonding part with a second blocking layer in order to prevent air from penetrating through the bonding part between upper and lower films, an inner portion of the channel may be maintained in a vacuum state and heat performance of the polymer-based pulsating heat pipe may be maintained. In addition, although the polymer-based pulsating heat pipe according to the present invention has high flexibility, it is lightweight and has heat performance superior to that of copper, thereby effectively cooling the flexible electronic device.

A brazed plate heat exchanger (100) for exchanging heat between at least two fluids comprises several elongate heat exchanger plates (110) provided with a pressed pattern comprising depressions and elevations adapted to keep the plates on a distance from one another by contact points between the elevations and depressions of neighboring plates under formation of interplate flow channels for media to exchange heat. At least four port openings are placed in corner regions of the elongate heat exchanger plates and have selective fluid communication with the interplate flow channels such that the fluids to exchange heat will flow between port openings parallel to long sides of the elongate heat exchanger plates. A circumferential seal sealing off the interplate flow channels from communication with the surroundings is provided, and the heat exchanger plates are joined by brazing. The circumferential seal results partly from contact between skirts of neighboring plates contacting one another, said skirts extending at least partly along two sides of each heat exchanger plates, and partly from contact between flat areas extending along two other sides of the heat exchanger plates.
