A plate-type heat exchanger including a body plate, an upper plate, and a lower plate. The body plate includes a plurality of alternately stacked plates, a space between the plurality of plates having a first heat exchange passage through which a first refrigerant of high temperature and high pressure flows, and a second heat exchange passage through which a second refrigerant of low temperature and low pressure flows. A heat exchange between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant is performed in the body plate. The upper plate is bonded to a front side of the body plate and having a first inlet hole through which the first refrigerant is introduced and a first outlet hole through which the second refrigerant is discharged. The lower plate is bonded to a rear side of the body plate and having a second inlet hole through which the second refrigerant is introduced and a second outlet hole through which the first refrigerant is discharged.

A plate heat exchanger without straight flow channels is provided, for exchanging heat between fluids. Said heat exchanger, comprises a start plate, an end plate and a number of heat exchanger plates provided with a pressed pattern of ridges and grooves with a pitch. The heat exchanger plates are kept at a distance from each other by contact between ridges and grooves of neighboring plates in contact points, when said plates are being stacked onto one another. Flow channels are thus formed between said plates, the contact points are positioned so that no straight lines are formed along the length of the heat exchanger plates.

A plate for a heat exchanger includes a substantially planar body having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, a fluid surface, and an outer surface. A first cup extends from the outer surface of the body adjacent the first end of the body. A second cup extends from the outer surface of the body and is spaced from the second end of the body.

A method for detecting a leak in a heat exchanger plate includes positioning the heat exchanger plate between a first fixture and a second fixture to create both a first sealed space between the heat exchanger plate and the first fixture and a second sealed space between the heat exchanger plate and the second fixture. The first sealed space is on one side of the heat exchanger plate and the second sealed space is on the other side of the heat exchanger plate. The method includes supplying an inert gas to the second sealed space, drawing a vacuum in the first sealed space, and detecting whether the first sealed space includes the inert gas. The presence of inert gas indicates the plate is not leak-tight.

The present invention relates to an enhanced heat dissipation module, a cooling fin structure and a stamping method thereof. The enhanced heat dissipation module includes a first cooling fin and a second cooling fin. The first cooling fin includes a first tapered tunnel protruding outwards, and the second cooling fin includes a second tapered tunnel protruding outwards. The first tapered tunnel and the second tapered tunnel jointly encircle and form a flow guide channel. Accordingly, a pressure difference is generated by hot air passing through the tapered tunnels, thereby increasing natural thermal convection and further enhancing heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling fins.

A plate (1) for a heat exchange arrangement has a first heat transferring surface (A) with a protrusion (7) forming a continuous and closed ridge. This ridge divides said surface into a closed inner region (A1) and an outer region (A2). The inner region (A1) encloses a first inlet porthole (2) and a first outlet porthole (5) for a first medium. The outer region (A2) has a second inlet porthole (3) and a second outlet porthole (6) for the first medium. A heat exchange arrangement comprises a stack of first and second plates of the above type. The protrusions (7) on the first heat transferring surfaces (A) of said plates are connected to each other to separate first channels into first and second flow paths for the first medium. Each first flow path is configured to direct the first medium from a first inlet to a first outlet inside the inner region (A1) and each second flow path is configured to direct the first medium from a second inlet to a second outlet in the outer region (A2), said inlets and outlets being defined between said inlet and outlet portholes (2, 3 and 5, 6 respectively).

A method includes providing a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet, printing patterns of a plurality of obstructers, a plurality of channels, an evaporator channel, a condenser channel, and a connecting channel on the first metal sheet, bonding the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet to each other, separating the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet from each other to form the plurality of channels, the evaporator channel, the condenser channel, and the connecting channel by introducing a fluid between the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet, introducing working fluid in the plurality of channels, and sealing the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet.

A heat dissipation device includes a base plate and a plurality of fins arranged on the base plate. Each fin includes a fin body including a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet coupled to each other, wherein the fin body is curved and includes a first portion and a second portion transverse to the first portion, an evaporation channel defined in the first portion, one or more connecting channels disposed in the first portion and in fluid communication with the evaporation channel, a condensation channel defined in the second portion, and one or more auxiliary channels disposed in the second portion and in fluid communication with the one or more connecting channels and the condensation channel.

An embodiment of the present subject matter includes a heat exchange part having heating medium channels, through which heating medium flows, and combustion gas channels, through which combustion gas burned in a burner flows, adjacently disposed in alternation in the spaces between the plurality of plates, wherein the heat exchange part surrounds the outer sides of a central combustion chamber space, a plurality of the heat exchange parts are provided in a stacked structure, and the flow direction of the heating medium is unidirectional only in a part of the heating medium channels from among the heating medium channels provided in each layer.

The present subject matter includes: heating medium channels, in the space in between a pair of plates facing each other, through which the heating medium flows; combustion gas channels, on the outer sides of the heating medium channels, through which combustion gas burned in a burner flows; and heating medium dispersion parts, having an opening part and a shutting part, on an inlet, through which the heating medium flows into the heating medium channel, and an outlet, through which the heating medium flows out from the heating medium channel.
