A thermal management system for an electric component has a housing for the electric component and a heat exchange plate extending over the surface of the lateral face of the housing. The plate has a fluid channel between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a supply duct to supply the plate with fluid and a discharge duct, a casing defining the housing(s) and receiving the heat exchange plate and the supply and discharge ducts. The system includes a fluid collecting box arranged to collect fluid from a possible fluid leakage at the junction between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet of the plate and the associated supply and discharge ducts, so as to prevent said leaked fluid from dripping into a bottom of the casing.

A heat dissipation device is configured for a working fluid to flow therethrough. The heat dissipation device includes a base and at least one heat dissipation fin. The base has at least one internal channel configured for the working fluid to flow therethrough. The at least one heat dissipation fin having an extension channel and an inlet and an outlet is in fluid communication with the extension channel. The at least one heat dissipation fin is inserted into one side of the base, and the extension channel is communicated with the at least one internal channel through the inlet and the outlet.

A heat exchanger for providing thermal energy transfer between a first flow along a first flowpath and a second flow along a second flowpath has at least one plate bank having a plurality of plates, each plate having: a first face and a second face opposite the first face; a leading edge along the second flowpath and a trailing edge along the second flowpath; a proximal edge having at least one inlet port along the first flowpath and at least one outlet port along the first flowpath; and at least one passageway along the first flowpath.

A vehicular heat management system includes a heat pump cycle capable of heating a heat-exchanging-object fluid by using exhaust heat of an in-vehicle device as a heat source that radiates heat during operation, and an exhaust-heat refrigerant circuit that releases the exhaust heat to outside air through an exhaust-heat refrigerant. The heat pump cycle includes a recovery heat exchange portion that performs heat exchange between a heated air heated by the exhaust heat and a cycle refrigerant circulating in the heat pump cycle. The exhaust-heat refrigerant circuit includes an exhaust-heat exchange portion that performs heat exchange between the heated air and the exhaust-heat refrigerant. The recovery heat exchange portion and the exhaust-heat exchange portion are integrally formed as a combined heat exchanger capable of transferring heat between the cycle refrigerant and the exhaust-heat refrigerant.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of first members, and a plurality of second members located between adjacent first members of the plurality of first members. The plurality of first members each include a plurality of openings and a first flow path connected to the plurality of openings. The plurality of second members each include a second flow path connected to the openings of the adjacent first members. The plurality of openings and the first flow path of the first member, and the second flow path of the second member define a flow path for a first fluid. A region between the adjacent first members defines a flow path for a second fluid. The heat exchanger further includes a third member extending toward the region on the first member.

In a heat exchanger, each of a plurality of heat exchange members includes: a flat pipe; and a heat transfer plate integrated with the flat pipe along a longitudinal direction of the flat pipe. A width direction of each of the flat pipes intersects with a direction in which the plurality of heat exchange members are arranged side by side. Each of the heat transfer plates includes an extending portion extending outward in the width direction of each of the flat pipes from at least one of one end of a corresponding one of the flat pipes in the width direction and another end of the corresponding one of the flat pipes in the width direction. Each of the flat pipes has one or more flat pipe bent portions, each forming a groove extending along the longitudinal direction of the flat pipes.

A water block assembly includes first and second water block units having respective first and second fluid conduits. The second water block unit is stacked on the first water block unit. The second fluid conduit operates either in parallel with the first fluid conduit or fluidly independent therefrom, such that cooled fluid is fed to the first and second fluid conduits. The first water block unit includes a first base portion and a first cover portion disposed on and affixed to the first base portion. The first cover portion defines a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet of the first fluid conduit. The second water block unit includes a second base portion and a second cover portion disposed on and affixed to the second base portion.
