A finned heat sink, folded from a single piece of plate material, includes a base part and a plurality of fins. The base part includes a plurality of fin extensions and at least one support element. The support element includes bridging parts bridging the inter-fin distances, wherein the bridging parts comprise length reducing parts to thereby reduce those inter-fin distances.

A heat exchanger with increased heat transfer capability is provided. The heat exchanger 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 end 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 end 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 crossflow heat exchanger includes an outer housing, an inlet that receives a hot fluid to be cooled and a monolithic manifold includes a central receiving reservoir and one or more outer reservoirs. The fluid received at the inlet passing into the central receiving reservoir. The exchanger also includes an outlet connected to the one or more outer reservoirs and tubes disposed within the outer housing that connect the central receiving reservoir and the one or more outer reservoirs. The monolithic manifold includes a gap formed between the central receiving reservoir and one or more outer reservoirs.

A shell heat dissipating structure of a small form-factor transceiver includes a hollow shell and a heat dissipating structure. The hollow shell has a setting surface disposed on the outside; the setting surface is formed along an extending direction of the hollow shell. The heat dissipating structure has plural fins formed along the extending direction of the hollow shell and spaced on the setting surface; a plurality of channels is formed among the fins. Each of the fins is formed by plural projecting portions and recess portions disposed along the extending direction and alternated continuously such that the channels among the fins communicate with each other through the recess portions.

Phased array antennas, such as a multi-function aperture, are limited in performance and reliability by traditional air-cooled thermal management systems. A fuel-cooled multi-function aperture passes engine fuel through heat exchangers that surround the multi-function aperture to provide better heat transfer than can be achieved through air cooling systems. The increased heat transfer and thermal management results in a multi-function aperture with improved performance and reliability.

A heat exchanger cleaning arrangement includes a spray tube array configured to be attached to a heat exchanger. The spray tube array includes at least one tube, a plurality of nozzles, and a connector. The plurality of nozzles is configured to port pressurized fluid from the at least one tube toward the heat exchanger. The connector is in operable communication with the spray bar array and is configured such that a pressurized fluid source can be attached to the connector for porting fluid from the pressurized fluid source to the plurality of nozzles.

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.

Air treatment systems and methods of use, including systems useful for both cooling air and heating air; and in some particular aspects a single coil useful for both heating air and for cooling air.

A system for attaching a heat exchanger to a vehicle includes a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket is secured to the heat exchanger and has a first plate. The first plate includes front and back surfaces. The first plate defines first and second notches on opposing peripheral edges of the first plate. The second bracket is secured to the vehicle. The second bracket has a second plate, a hook, and a clip. The second plate has an outer surface. The hook and the clip extend from opposing edges of the outer surface. The outer surface is configured to engage the front surface of the first plate. The hook and the clip are configured to extend through the first and second notches, respectively, and to engage the back surface of the first plate to secure the second bracket to the first bracket.

A heat exchanger circuit can include a heat exchanger having a body with a plurality of cooling fins for the heat exchanger, a plurality of core cooling channels within the body, a plurality of de-congealing channels in fluid communication with the plurality of core cooling channels, and a by-pass valve in fluid communication with the plurality of core cooling channels and the plurality of de-congealing channels.
