The invention concerns a seal (5) for sealing off the gap between a heat exchanger (1) and the inside wall of a groove (7) in a fluid channel for accommodating said heat exchanger [1], the seal (5) comprising at least one fixing member (51, 52) for fixing the seal (5) on at least part of the circumference of the heat exchanger (1) and at least a first (53) and second lip (54) adapted to contact opposite sides (71, 72) of the groove (7) to thereby seal off the gap between the heat exchanger (1) and the fluid channel and to fix said at least part of the circumference of the heat exchanger (1) inside the groove (7).

A radiator core includes a head tube and a tube module mounted on the head tube. The head tube is provided with multiple tube slots having multiple first sides and multiple second sides. The tube module includes multiple first tubes and multiple second tubes mounted in the tube slots. Each of the first tubes is provided with a first connecting portion having an increased thickness and resting on one of the first sides of the tube slots. Each of the second tubes is provided with a second connecting portion having an increased thickness and resting on one of the second sides of the tube slots.

A heat exchanger includes a fluid reservoir having a peripherally extending foot, a header having a mounting tab bent to engage the foot of the fluid reservoir to couple the header to the fluid reservoir, and a retaining feature configured to prevent disengagement of the mounting tab of the header from the foot of the fluid reservoir. The retaining feature overlays at least a portion of an outer surface of the mounting tab while otherwise restrained by a portion of the fluid reservoir in order to prevent the disengagement of the mounting tab from the foot.

A temperature control body housing includes a monolithic housing middle portion penetrated by one or more than one fluid canal, each fluid canal being completely bounded on four sides by respective walls monolithically connected to outer walls of the housing middle portion; a first housing end cap and a second housing end cap between which the housing middle portion is disposed; wherein the first housing end cap has a first fluid port and either the first housing end cap or the second housing end cap has a second fluid port, and wherein the first fluid port and the second fluid port are fluidly connected to each other by means of the one or more fluid channels.

An axial flow baffle for a shell and tube heat exchanger includes a substantially planar body configured for transverse arrangement in a longitudinally elongated shell of the shell and tube heat exchanger, a plurality of axial flow tube apertures each comprising a central tube hole configured to receive a tube of the heat exchanger, and an array of peripheral primary flow holes circumferentially spaced apart around the tube hole. The primary flow holes each interrupt the central tube hole and formed a radially inward projecting tube support protrusions between the primary flow holes which engage a single tube. Each primary flow hole has a non-polygonal configuration, which may be semicircular in some embodiments. The primary flow holes create axial flow around the periphery of the tubes through the baffles. In another aspect, a hybrid cross-flow baffle includes a combination of axial flow tube apertures and circular tube support holes.

The invention relates to a heat-exchanger element for connection to tubes of a heat exchanger, the heat-exchanger element (1, 29, 32) consisting of a plurality of components (13, 14) welded to each other, and said components (13, 14) being interconnected by electron beam welding and being part of a heat exchanger head.

A tube type heat exchanger includes a core includes multiple tubes, a header plate defining an array of apertures in which said tubes are received, and a coolant jacket arranged about said core. The header plate includes a body defining a central region and an edge region circumferential to said central region. The central region defines said array of apertures. The edge region includes a flange. The header plate is connected to the coolant jacket via first and second contact areas between the header plate and the coolant jacket. The flange is outboard of the coolant jacket. The first contact area is between the flange and the coolant jacket; and the second contact area is inboard of the first contact area.

Proposed is a heat dissipating device using turbulent flow. In the heat dissipating device, a plurality of block flow paths (12) are formed in parallel inside a block body (10), a first cap (16) and a second cap (28) are mounted on side surfaces (15) of the respective ends of the block body (10) so as to connect the block flow paths (12), a working fluid flows into the block flow paths (12), and the working fluid which has passed through the block flow paths (12) is transferred to the outside. Turbulence generators (38) are mounted inside the block flow paths (12), and finishing end portions (40) on the respective ends of the turbulence generators (38) are supported by the first cap (16) and the second cap (28) and are positioned inside the block flow paths (12).
