A heatsink includes a fin-set that includes a corrugated ribbon having a first, deformable, portion and a second, convective, portion that is not deformed. A plurality of corrugated ribbons may be physically and/or thermally coupled (e.g., via mechanical fasteners, thermally conductive bonding, or reflow) to form the heatsink. A force may be applied to the heatsink sufficient to at least partially crush the first, deformable, portion to conform to an external surface of an electronic device. The heatsink may be physically affixed and thermally coupled to an external surface of the electronic device via mechanical fasteners, thermally conductive adhesives or via reflow of a low-melt temperature layer disposed on an external surface of the heatsink. The crushed portion of the first, deformable, portion conforms to the regular (e.g., planar) or irregular surface profile of the electronic device, beneficially and surprisingly improving thermal performance of the heatsink.

The invention relates to a plate-type heat exchanger having at least a first and second heat-transfer block, wherein each block has multiple separating plates, which are arranged parallel to one another, which form a multiplicity of heat-transfer passages for fluids taking part in the heat transfer. The heat-transfer blocks are outwardly bounded by cover plates. A first cover plate of the first heat-transfer block is secured to an opposite second cover plate of the second heat-transfer block. At least one elongate first profile is secured to the first cover plate. At least one elongate second profile running parallel to the at least one first profile is secured to the second cover plate such that the two profiles are opposite one another in a direction parallel to the cover plates. Between the two profiles there is an interspace in which an elongate element is arranged in an interference fit with the two profiles, such that the two cover plates and thus the two heat-transfer blocks are secured to one another. The elongate element is designed as a hollow profile.

The heat conduction member comprises a laminate formed by laminating a resin layer and a metal layer. The resin layer is formed from a thermally conductive resin material. The thickness of the laminate is smaller at the peripheral edge of the laminate than in the center portion of the laminate, and the thickness of the laminate is greater in the intermediate portion of the laminate than in the center portion of the laminate. An inclined surface is formed on the laminate so as to form a falling gradient from the intermediate portion toward the peripheral edge.

An arrangement has a housing, which has a receptacle or an opening, and a cylindrical insert, which is mounted in the receptacle or opening via at least one interference fit. The insert has a peripheral groove, and therefore the insert is both fastened against the housing and sealed against the housing in a liquid- and/or gas-tight manner by way of material of the insert and/or housing that has been pressed into the groove during the assembly. The material of the insert and/or of the housing is displaced in the case of an interference fit. The groove provides a defined location to which the material can preferably flow. After the assembly has been concluded, the insert is locked against the housing by the material located in the groove. At the same time, the material acts as a seal between the insert and the housing. A separate seal in the region of the press fit becomes dispensable.

A heat exchanger includes a stacked body that is configured by tubes stacked in a stacking direction and a header tank. The header tank includes a plate header and a tank body. The tubes include longitudinal ends attached to the plate header. The plate header includes a tube insertion hole provided with a stopper. One of the longitudinal ends of the plurality of tubes is inserted into the tube insertion hole. The stopper sets a position of the one of the longitudinal ends in the tube insertion hole. The stopper is provided with the tube insertion hole, and has a width dimension that is smaller than both of a width dimension of the tube insertion hole and a width dimension of the one of the longitudinal ends of the plurality of tubes when viewed in the stacking direction.

A heat exchange tube (51) for a heat exchanger, heat exchanger and assembly method thereof. The heat exchange tube (51) is a combined heat exchange tube having a space (55) at its center, and the space (55) is configured to accommodate an insertion member (57), such that the combined heat exchange tube is expanded in and joined with a corres-ponding fin hole (53) in a heat exchanger. The solution addresses the problem of expansion and assembly between a fin and a heat ex-change tube that is minute or has a small inner diameter without employing a brazing process, thus reducing manufacturing costs.

The invention provides a connecting member and a micro-channel heat exchanger. The connecting member comprises a first side plate, a second side plate and an arc-shaped plate connected between the two plates, wherein a plurality of communicating channels (1) which are in parallel with one another and are spaced apart are provided in the connecting member, each of the communicating channels (1) extends from the first side plate to the second side plate. The invention solves the problem that the outer walls of the heat exchange tubes become thin due to bending of the heat exchanger.

A heat exchanger for an oxygenator comprises multiple tube sections, each having a longitudinal tube axis, wherein the tube sections are disposed as a bundle having a longitudinal bundle axis, and the tube sections are connected to each other in at least one connecting section of the bundle by joining by way of chemical and/or physical bonded joints. A method for producing the heat exchanger is also provided.

A finned heat sink (1) comprising a stack of N finned heat sink plates (3). The N finned heat sink plates comprise a top plate (3a) on top of a bottom plate (3b) and optionally at least one sandwiched plate (3c). The bottom plate (3b), the top plate (3a) and the sandwiched plate (3c) comprise a heat dissipating fin (9) and an opening (7). The fins (9) are bent out of plane of the plates (3). The fin (9) of the bottom plate (3b) and the sandwiched plate (3c) extend through the opening (7a) in the top plate (3a) in the same direction as the fin (9a) of the top plate (3a).

A thermal control device has a thermal control device base, a connection block attached to the thermal control device and a tubing for a heat exchange fluid attached to the connection block. The tubing has a tubing extension axis and a tubing side wall. The connection block includes a connection block receiving section, which receives a part of the tubing side wall. The connection block is configured to facilitate heat exchange between the tubing side wall and the thermal control device.
