A method for forming a heat exchanger plate includes: securing a wave form metallic sheet to a heat exchanger plate substrate, the substrate comprising a first face and a second face opposite the first face, the securing of the wave form metallic sheet being to the first face; and removing peaks of the sheet.

A method for producing a heat exchanger is disclosed. The method includes a) providing two heat exchanger plates of the heat exchanger that are to be joined to one another; b) wetting at least one common local joining zone of the two heat exchanger plates with solder; c) forming the heat exchanger by brazing the two heat exchanger plates via local heating of the at least one common joining zone.

A heat exchanger tube includes a curved wall, a leg, and a joint. The leg extends orthogonal to an end of the curved wall. The joint connects the curved wall and leg. A plurality of dimples is aligned along the joint.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of first and second fluid passages. The first fluid passages are defined by a pair of opposing first fluid passage walls and a plurality of first fluid diverters disposed between the first fluid passages walls. The second fluid passages are defined by a pair of opposing second fluid passage walls and a plurality of second fluid diverters disposed between the second fluid passage walls. The second fluid diverters include a body portion and a leading edge portion. The first fluid passage walls form a first fluid leading edge that extends upstream of the leading edge portion of the second fluid diverters. The second fluid passages extend in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the first fluid passages.

A manufacturing method of heat dissipation unit is disclosed. The heat dissipation unit is mainly composed of two titanium metal plate bodies. The titanium metal plate bodies are heat-treated, whereby the titanium metal plate bodies can be mechanical processed, shaped and surface-modified. Accordingly, the titanium metal can be freely shaped and provide capillary attraction. In this case, the titanium metal plate bodies can be used as the material of the heat dissipation unit instead of the conventional copper plate bodies to greatly reduce the weight and enhance the heat dissipation performance.

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.
