A header for a heat exchanger includes a header frame defining an opening and including a base portion circumscribing a perimeter thereof. A mounting tab extends from the base portion. The mounting tab is configured to bend inwardly with respect to the header frame. A deformation featured is formed on one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the header frame and is configured to facilitate bending of the mounting tab

The main object of the invention is a heat exchanger including a first header plate of an inlet manifold, a second header plate of a distribution header and a heat exchange core bundle extending between the first header plate and the second header plate along a longitudinal direction, the heat exchange core bundle being defined by a shell and having a plurality of tubes arranged successively next to each other in a transverse direction, each tube being capable of cooperating with the header plates via through-holes formed in each plate. The shell has at least one longitudinal end with a straight edge configured to be in flat surface contact with at least one header plate in a contact area, the surface contact occurring mainly in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

A fin element for a heat exchanger, in particular for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system of a motor vehicle, with a plurality of connecting sections and of longitudinal sections, whereby in each case two adjacent longitudinal sections are connected to one another by a connecting section, whereby at least one of the longitudinal sections has gills formed by webs and slots, whereby at least one of the webs has a flared web surface, whereby the web surface is flared out from the at least one longitudinal section, whereby the web surface forms at least two surface sections arranged angled to one another.

A heat rejection panel comprising a first and a second plate. The first plate comprises an oscillating heat pipe face having a plurality of first opened elongated recesses formed therein, and the second plate comprises an oscillating heat pipe face having a plurality of second open elongated recesses formed therein. The first plate oscillating heat pipe face is hermetically sealed to the second plate oscillating heat pipe face forming a bond joint therebetween. The first plate caps the second open elongated recesses and the second plate caps the first open elongated recesses such that first open elongated recesses are physically and fluidly connected to the second open elongated recesses, thereby forming at least one non-planar oscillating heat pipe channel within the panel that reciprocates back and forth across the bond joint having the bond joint as a longitudinal axis.

A heat exchanger in one aspect of the present disclosure comprises a plurality of plates and a fin. The fin comprises at least one first portion and at least one second portion. The at least one first portion is a wall surface that comprises at least one first opening. The at least one second portion, which is paired with the first portion, is a wall surface different from the first portion. The second portion comprises a second opening paired with a corresponding one of the at least one first opening. The fin comprises at least one opening pair, which is a pair of the first opening and the second opening. The at least one opening pair has a non-overlapping positional relationship in which the paired first opening and second opening are at least partially non-overlapping along a flow direction of a second fluid.

A flat plate heat exchanger module for use in aerospace applications, automotive applications, industrial applications or similar. The flat plate heat exchanger module comprises a stack of heat exchanger plates, where at least one of the heat exchanger plates further comprises at least one elongated aperture extending across the surface of the heat exchanger plate. This elongated aperture is in fluid isolation from the fluid flowing across the surface of the heat exchanger plate. The use of at least one elongated aperture throughout the stack of heat exchanger plates minimises the overall effect of the expansion and contraction of the metal due to exposure to high temperature gradients. A method of manufacturing such a heat exchanger module is also provided.

A heat exchanger system for an agricultural vehicle. The heat exchanger system has at least two separate heat exchanger assemblies, where an adjustable baffle is used to vary the airflow between the heat exchanger assemblies, accordingly varying the cooling effect of the assemblies, based on system requirements. The adjustable baffle may be arranged to restrict or block at least a portion of a heat exchanger to reduce airflow through the exchanger, to provide a flow bypass of an exchanger, and/or to proportionally adjust the airflow through a pair of heat exchangers provided as part of a single heat exchanger assembly.

Cooling performance is secured by reducing a compression loss when a high-pressure gas refrigerant is allowed to flow without heat exchange on cooling in a vehicle interior heat exchanger. In the vehicle interior heat exchanger, an upstream header and a downstream header are communicated and connected with the same end side of the refrigerant circulation tubes of an upstream tube group and a downstream tube group where the refrigerant circulation tubes are stacked. Internal spaces of the upstream header and the downstream header are communicated and connected with each other via communication holes in the boss portions of the connecting member. In the vehicle interior heat exchanger, the total opening area of the communication holes is set such that the percentage thereof, with respect to the total opening area of the channel on the uppermost stream side of the upstream tube group, is in the range of 38% to 93%.

A fuel system includes an internal combustion engine, a fuel device and a heat exchanger. The internal combustion engine receives an air/fuel mixture and produces heated exhaust air. The fuel device receives fresh air and provides the air/fuel mixture that is received by the internal combustion engine. The heat exchanger receives the heated exhaust air from the internal combustion engine and fresh cool air, transfers heat energy from the heated exhaust air to the fresh cool air, and provides the fresh air to the fuel device. The provided fresh air is the fresh cool air that has received the heat energy.

The present disclosure relates to a heat exchanger including a plurality of fluid guiding metal pipes (2) having pipe ends (3) arranged side by side at intervals, at least one pipe bottom (4) made of plastic and having receiving through-holes (5) in which the pipe ends (3) may be received, and a collection box (6) made of plastic and which may be connected to the pipe bottom (4) by a locking device formed between the pipe bottom and the collection box, wherein a seal (9) may be inserted between the pipe bottom (4) and the collection box (6), and the seal ensures press-fit of the pipe bottom (4) on the pipe ends (3) and seals the collection box (6) against the pipe bottom (4) and the pipe bottom (4) against the pipe ends (3).
