A flow path tube of a heat exchanger includes an inner fin having a meander shape in which a one-side top part and an other-side top part are alternately arranged via an intermediate part. The intermediate part includes a communication part with a communication port that communicates the adjacent fine flow paths. A one-side wall part is extended from the one-side top part, which is adjacent on one side, to the communication part and separates the adjacent fine flow paths. An other-side wall part is extended from the other-side top part, which is adjacent on the other side, to the communication part and separates the adjacent fine flow paths. An edge of the one-side wall part is formed such that an edge of the other-side wall part is shifted in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the flat cross sectional shape of the flow path tube.

Mg and Bi are contained in each of a first fillet in a first braze joining portion in which a tube and a fin join, a second fillet in a second braze joining portion in which the tube and a header plate join, and a third fillet in a third braze joining portion in which the header plate and a tank body join. A concentration of Mg of each of the first to third fillets is from 0.2% or more to 2.0% or less by mass. When the tube includes a brazing material layer, a concentration of Mg of the tube at its plate thickness center is from 0.1% or more to 1.0% or less by mass. When the fin includes a brazing material layer, a concentration of Mg of the fin at its plate thickness center is from 0.2% or more to 1.0% or less by mass.

The invention relates to a device for thermal regulation of at least one electronic component, including at least two circulation conduits of a heat transfer fluid, arranged along a stacking axis, and at least one heat transfer fluid manifold in fluidic communication with the circulation conduits. The heat transfer fluid manifold includes at least two fluidic connection portions, respectively assembled at one end of a corresponding circulation conduit and having, respectively, at least one collar bordering an orifice, and at least one hollow connector interposed between two fluidic connection portions along the stacking axis, and having two opposite end sections, slidably mounted inside the collars of two facing fluidic connection portions.

A heat exchanger assembly includes a cooling plate with at least one outer heat transfer surface adapted for thermal contact with one or more heat-generating substrates. A fluid flow path extends from an inlet port to an outlet port, with a plurality of cooling zones spaced apart along the fluid flow path, each cooling zone including a heat transfer element such as a corrugated fin sheet in contact with the inner surface of the first plate wall. Manifold spaces are defined proximate to the inlet and outlet ports, and between adjacent cooling zones. One or more bypass flow passages are provided between upstream and downstream ends of at least one cooling zone, to divert a portion of the heat transfer fluid from flowing through the cooling zone. The volume of fluid flow bypassing one or more cooling zones is calibrated to improve temperature uniformity of the heat-generating substrates.

Methods and systems are provided for heat exchangers including a first outer plate, a second outer plate, and an intermediate plate. The intermediate plate is positioned between the outer plates. Fluid flow passages are formed between the intermediate plate and each of the outer plates.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger plate (10) of a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger plate (10) comprising two faces (12, 13) extending between two lateral edges and two longitudinal edges (15) of said heat exchanger plate (10). The heat exchanger plate (10) comprises at least an opening (16) extending from a first face (12) to a second face (13) of the heat exchanger plate (10). The opening (16) is delimited by a collar (17) that is arranged around the opening (16). The heat exchanger plate (10) comprises at least a dimple (18) protruding above at least one of the faces (12, 13). Said dimple (18) comprises at least a flat area (19) and a sloped area (20), said sloped area (20) being interposed between the collar (17) and the flat area (19).

The present disclosure provides a liquid-cooling type double-sided cooler, including a first cooling portion and a second cooling portion. In the liquid-cooling type double-sided cooler, another end of the first cooling portion is formed with a first communication hole that is configured to penetrate the first cooling liquid path and an outside of the first cooling portion, another end of the second cooling portion is formed with a second communication hole that is configured to penetrate the second cooling liquid path and an outside of the second cooling portion; and the first cooling portion and the second cooling portion are positioned such that the first communication hole and the second communication hole face each other, and the first cooling liquid path and the second cooling liquid path are connected with each other.

A plate-type heat exchanger, in particular for motor vehicles, is described which includes plate pairs. In one example, a plate pair includes a first plate and a second plate that form a first flow path and a second flow path between the plates. In this configuration, the first and the second plate are associated with a first attachment plate and a second attachment plate, respectively. A third flow path is formed between the first plate and the second attachment plate and the first flow path is formed between the second plate and the first attachment plate. Alternatively, the third flow path is formed between the first plate and the first attachment plate and the first flow path is formed between the second plate and the second attachment plate. A spatial region for a fourth flow path may also be formed between adjacent plate pairs.

A refrigerant heat exchanger has the passage defining member. The passage defining member is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics. The passage defining member has a tube portion defining a refrigerant passage. The passage defining member has the plate portion which spreads from the tube portion. In the tube portion, carbon fibers are oriented to surround the tube portion. This orientation contributes to a pressure resisting performance in a radial direction of the tube portion. In the plate portion, the carbon fibers are oriented to protrude from the tube portion. This orientation contributes to improve mechanical strength in the plate portion. The carbon fibers are extended over both the tube portion and the plate portion. This orientation promotes thermal transfer over the tube portion and the plate portion.

A heat exchanger carries out heat exchange between a refrigerant that undergoes a phase change during heat exchange and another heating medium. The heat exchanger includes headers having the refrigerant flowing through interiors, a plurality of multi-hole first flat tubes, and a plurality of second flat tubes. The first flat tubes extend in a direction intersecting a lengthwise direction of the headers. The first flat tubes have a plurality of refrigerant flow channels with the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant flow channels. The second flat tubes are stacked alternately with respect to the first flat tubes, with the other heating medium flowing through the second flat tubes. The headers are arranged to extend along a horizontal direction.
