A heat exchanger comprises a number of identical heat exchanger plates stacked in a stack. Every other heat exchanger plate is turned 180 degrees in its plane relative to its neighboring plates, and each heat exchanger plate comprises at least four port openings and a herringbone pattern comprising pressed ridges and grooves. The ridges and grooves are adapted to keep the plates on a distance from one another under formation of flow channels, wherein areas around the port openings are arranged on different levels, such that selective flow from the port openings to the flow channels is achieved. Dents are arranged in the ridges and grooves in the vicinity of any of the port openings, the dents being arranged to increase the flow resistance to promote a more even flow distribution in the flow channel.

A heat exchanger plate having a planar plate having an inlet and outlet proximate to a first edge of the heat exchanger plate. The planar plate having a plurality of ribs and a plurality of channels, with the plurality of channels being in a plane different from the planar plate. The plurality of channels being in fluid communication from the inlet to the outlet permitting fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet. A protrusion coupled to the planar plate proximate to the first edge of the heat exchanger plate and laterally extending from an axis, with the heat exchanger plate being susceptible to bending about the axis.

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 thermal management assembly is provided for both removing heat and absorbing acoustic energy. The thermal management assembly includes a heat sink base component and a plurality of thermally conductive fins disposed in a sparsely-arranged array in thermal communication with the heat sink base component. Each fin defines a two-sided Helmholtz unit cell disposed in a periodic array extending from the heat sink base component. Each unit cell includes a lossy resonator and a lossless resonator. The lossy resonator includes a first chamber portion bounded by at least one first boundary wall defining a first chamber volume, and a first neck forming an opening in the first chamber portion. The lossless resonator includes a second chamber portion bounded by at least one second boundary wall defining a second chamber volume, and a second neck forming an opening in the second chamber portion.

Various embodiments include heat exchangers and methods of making heat exchangers from a series of stacked plates each made of two foil sheets bonded together in bonding locations forming fluid flow passages between the foil sheets in regions where the foil sheets are not bonded. An inlet port and an outlet port located at opposite ends of the planar extent of the two foil sheets extend through the foil sheets perpendicular to the planar extent of the foil sheets. The inlet and outlet ports provide access for a first fluid to flow into or out of the internal plate passages formed between the two foil sheets. Interstitial channels are formed between the series of plates and configured to allow the flow of a second fluid between the series of plates, allowing heat to be transferred between the two fluids while isolating the two fluids from one another.
