HEAT EXCHANGER WITH TURBULATING INSERTS

A heat exchanger has a turbulating insert arranged between a pair of plates. The turbulating insert is permeable to fluid flow in both a high-pressure-drop direction and a low-pressure drop direction. One portion of the turbulating insert has the high-pressure-drop direction oriented at a non-zero angle to the high-pressure-drop direction of another portion. A method of making the heat exchanger includes forming a turbulating insert, removing a portion of the turbulating insert to create a cavity within the turbulating insert, placing the remaining turbulating insert into a stamped first plate, and placing the removed portion of the turbulating insert into the cavity at a non-zero angle of rotation relative to the remaining turbulating insert.

A high-efficiency heat sink includes a base and a plurality of heat sink fins A folded portion of each heat sink fin is formed by folding after being pressed and thinned, so that the thickness of the folded portion is less than the thickness of an insertion end of each heat sink fin. The thickness of the portion where the heat sink fin is inserted into a groove of the base is less than twice the thickness of the heat sink fin. It is beneficial to reduce the distance between two adjacent heat sink fins on the base, so that the heat sink fins can be arranged more densely, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the entire heat sink effectively.
