An apparatus and methods are provided for finless heat exchanger cores. A heat exchanger core includes an inlet header and an outlet header. The heat exchanger core also includes one or more curved channel frames disposed at least partially between the inlet header and the outlet header. The one or more curved channel frames have a first end and a second end, and one or more fluid passageways that direct flow of a first fluid in a first direction therethrough from the first end to the second end. In some embodiments, at least one of the one or more curved channel frames includes a rounded leading edge and a tapered trailing edge.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of fins arranged as a network and delimiting corridors, and an envelope having an internal wall and an external wall, the internal and external walls delimiting between them a channel for a flow of a first fluid in a main direction, the network of fins being arranged in the channel and connected to the internal and external walls, at least one passage for a flow of a second fluid being embedded in at least one of the internal and external walls, the channel being, in the main direction, divergent and then convergent.

A guide vane for a twin-spool aircraft turbomachine has an aerodynamic part that includes an internal lubricant cooling passage extending along a principal lubricant flow direction. The aerodynamic part is made in a single piece and also includes heat transfer fins arranged in the passage connecting the intrados and extrados walls and extending approximately parallel to the direction, these fins being distributed in successive rows along the principal direction and made such that for two rows of staggered directly consecutive fins, a first row includes fins forming a positive acute angle A1 with a dummy reference plane, while a second row includes fins forming a negative acute angle A2 with this plane.

Methods and systems are provided for a cooling module assembly for a vehicle. In one example, the cooling module assembly includes a first set of fins arranged in a circle, configured to flow a first fluid through a first sinusoidal, continuous inner passage, and a second set of fins, also arranged in a circle and configured to flow a second fluid through a second sinusoidal, continuous inner passage. The second set of fins shares a common plane with the first set of fins and is arranged concentric about the first set of fins.

The second set of fins shares a common plane with the first set of fins and together forms a semi-circular structure.

An energy store of a motor vehicle may include at least one battery cell and a fluid channel having a temperature control fluid that may control a temperature of the at least one battery cell. The fluid channel may be defined by a fluid channel arrangement having two walls and a plurality of spacers arranged therebetween. The plurality of spacers may be configured for a needs-based temperature control of the at least one battery cell. The plurality of spacers may be arranged so that a coolant flow is conducted directly to a hot spot of the at least one battery cell. At least one of the two walls may comprise an organic sheet and may be connected, via glue or welding, to the plurality of spacers.

A support form defining a longitudinal axis is provided. The support form includes a first section, a second substantially solid section, and at least one flow feature form. The first section includes a plurality of unit cells of a first material joined together to form a lattice. The second section includes a second material and surrounds the first section. The at least one flow feature form is defined in the second section and is configured to generate a flow feature on a heat exchanger tube formed by plating the support form.

A gas furnace includes: a combustion part in which a fuel gas is burnt to generate a combustion gas; a heat exchanger having a gas flow path through which the combustion gas flows; a blower configured to blow air around the heat exchanger; and an inducer configured to discharge the combustion gas from the heat exchanger, wherein the heat exchanger includes: at least one single path in which a single gas flow path is formed; a single-multiple return bend configured to communicate with the single path and convert a flow direction of the combustion gas; and at least one multiple path having a plurality of paths that communicate with the single-multiple return bend and form multiple gas flow paths.

A heat exchanger comprises a conduit defining an inlet flow path for a fluid; a heat exchanger matrix disposed to receive a flow from the inlet flow path; and a swirler disposed within the conduit and arranged to improve dispersion of a flow from the inlet flow path over the heat exchanger matrix.

In a heat exchanger, when a lower surface of the first heat transfer tube is horizontal, in a vertical cross section perpendicular to a direction in which the first heat transfer tube passes through a first fin, upper surfaces of the first and second heat transfer tubes are inclined downward, an upper end of the second heat transfer tube is higher than the lower surface of the first heat transfer tube, and an intersecting point A at which an extension line of the upper surface of the second heat transfer tube and an extension line of the lower surface of the first heat transfer tube intersect is closer to the second heat transfer tube than is an intersecting point B at which the extension line of the upper surface of the second heat transfer tube and an extension line of a lower surface of the second heat transfer tube intersect.
