A heat exchanger includes a core defining a first passageway and a second passageway. The core includes a plurality of unit cells coupled together. Each unit cell of the plurality of unit cells includes a first wall and a second wall. The second wall is spaced from the first wall. The first wall at least partially defines a first passageway portion and a second passageway portion. The second wall at least partially defines the second passageway portion. The second wall extends about the first wall such that the first passageway portion is nested within the second passageway portion.

A cooling system, comprising: a heat exchange module, wherein the heat exchange module at least comprises a first channel and a second channel that are independent from each other; a first cooling circuit, wherein the first cooling circuit is connected to the first channel of the heat exchange module; and a second cooling circuit, wherein the second cooling circuit is connected to the first channel of the heat exchange module, and a first coolant in the first cooling circuit and/or a second coolant in the second cooling circuit can flow through the first channel of the heat exchange module so as to be used for performing heat exchange with a third coolant that flows through the second channel of the heat exchange module. According to the cooling system, the reliability of the cooling system can be improved by means of the design of dual cooling circuits.

A heat exchanger has a plurality of plates having opposed surfaces and side walls extending beyond the opposed surfaces to a height (h); and a fin pack extending from one opposed surface toward an opposed surface of an adjacent plate, and having a fin height (f), wherein the fin height (f) is equal to or less than the height (h). The plates can be stacked to form a heat exchanger assembly with a gap between adjacent fin packs.

The present invention relates to a plate-and-shell heat exchanger (100) having a stack of plate pairs (50, 60) positioned in a shell (20), where the stack of plate pairs (50, 60) includes a plurality of plate pairs of a first type (50) and a plurality of plate pairs of a second type (60). Each plate pair (50, 60) has two heat transfer plates (10) being connected to each other and forming a cavity (11) there between, and forming an inlet opening (13a, 13b) and an outlet opening (13′a, 13′b). First inner flow paths (12a) are formed through the first inlet openings (13a), the cavities (11) of the plate pairs of the first type (50) and the first outlets (13′a). Second inner flow paths (12b) are formed through the second inlet openings (13b), the cavities (11) of the plate pairs of the second type (60) and the second outlets (13′b). A third outer flow path (22) is defined within the shell and between plate pairs of the first type (50) and plate pairs of the second type (60).

The present invention relates generally to a manifold for a parallel flow heat exchanger and a heat exchanger incorporating that manifold. The manifold comprising a first plurality of channels each having a first opening facing a first direction and a second opening facing a second direction different from the first direction. The manifold further comprises a second plurality of channels interleaved with the first plurality of channels, the second plurality of channels having a third opening facing a third direction and a fourth opening facing the first direction, wherein the third direction is different from the first direction and the second direction.

A heat exchanger comprises a stack of sets of fins and tubes attached to or encompassed by embossed plates comprising a void. In some embodiments, the fins overlap the void having a peripheral margin of the fin attached to the peripheral margin around the void. In some embodiments, the fins comprise through fluid apertures allowing lateral fluid flow. In some embodiments, the plates comprise lateral peripheral protrusions enabling selective sealing of gaps between adjacent stacked plates by unselective application of heat or adhesive to a face of the heat exchanger. In some embodiments, the plates comprise uniformizing protrusions in a fluid inlet and/or outlet zone that reduce the amount of non-uniform fluid mass flow between different channel protrusions of heat exchanging zones of the set. Also disclosed are methods for assembly and selective sealing of the heat exchanger and an apparatus comprising the same.
