A heat exchanger (1) for thermally coupling a first fluid to a second fluid so as to transfer heat and in a fluidically separate manner includes a securing assembly (8) of two cover parts (9) and at least one, preferably a plurality of guide parts (11), through which duct tubes (5) of the heat exchanger (1) pass. The duct tubes (5) extend inside a housing tube (2) along the longitudinal axis of the housing tube (2). The first fluid passes through the housing tube (2) outside of the duct tubes (5), and the second fluid passes through the duct tubes (5). The duct tubes (5) may have circular or flattened cross-sections.

A thermal management system and method includes a body having an inlet and an outlet configured to direct a first fluid into and out of the body. The body incudes a channel that is fluidly separate from the inlet and the outlet. A second fluid is directed through the channel. A conduit assembly is fluidly coupled with the inlet and the outlet. The conduit assembly includes plural fluidly separate conduits. Each of the plural conduits extend between a corresponding first end and a corresponding second end along a corresponding tortuous path. The plural conduits are intertwined with each other between the first ends and the second ends. The plural conduits are positioned such that the second fluid flowing through the channel passes over the plural conduits and exchanges thermal energy with the first fluid that moves within each of the plural conduits.

Heat exchangers include at least one looped tube having at least one section that is laterally offset from another section of the looped tube. Fluid cooling systems and seal systems may include such heat exchangers.

The monolithic redundant loop cold plate core includes a core structure and a first cooling loop formed in the core structure. The first cooling loop including: a plurality of first cooling loop passageways extending across a heat exchanger core in one or more passes. The one or more passes include at least a first pass. The monolithic redundant loop cold plate core includes a second cooling loop formed in the core structure. The second cooling loop includes: a plurality of second cooling loop passageways extending across the heat exchanger core in the one or more passes. The plurality of first cooling loop passageways are intermixed in an alternating side-by-side arrangement with the plurality of second cooling loop passageways in a single cooling plane. The monolithic redundant loop cold plate core is a single piece including a unitary structure.

A heat exchanger includes: flat pipes disposed in multiple stages in a stage direction corresponding to an up-down direction; and fins that partition a space between adjacent two of the flat pipes into air flow passages through which air flows. Each of the flat pipes includes a passage for a refrigerant inside thereof. The flat pipes are divided into heat exchange paths arrayed in multiple stages in the stage direction. One of the heat exchange paths that includes a lowermost one of the flat pipes is defined as a first heat exchange path. A length of the passage from a first end to a second end of a flow of the refrigerant in each of the heat exchange paths is defined as a path effective length.

Systems and methods of transmitting heat away from an ultrasound probe are disclosed within. In one embodiment, a handheld ultrasound probe includes a transducer, electronics configured to drive the transducer, and a housing surrounding the transducer assembly and the electronics. A slot extending from a first side of the housing to a second side of the housing and can allow air to pass adjacent transducer and the electronics. The slot can be sized to inhibit accessibility of an operator's finger to an inner surface of slot.

An additively manufactured heat exchanger configured to transfer heat between a first fluid and a second fluid includes a first channel with a first wall configured to port flow of a first fluid and a second channel with a second wall configured to port flow of a second fluid. The heat exchanger also includes a barrier channel containing unprocessed build powder provided by the additive manufacturing process and is located between the first wall and the second wall. The barrier channel is configured to prevent mixing of the first fluid and the second fluid when one of the first wall and the second wall ruptures.

A microtube heat exchanger is disclosed, including two end plates with an array of holes or openings and an array of microtubes disposed in the array of openings between the two end plates. The heat exchanger can be used in environmental control systems, including systems for aerospace applications.
