TRIANGULAR FLOW PASSAGE HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019215 titled 'TRIANGULAR FLOW PASSAGE HEAT EXCHANGER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a heat exchanger element that includes upper and lower walls, turbulators on the flow surfaces, and a fin pack between the upper and lower surfaces. The fin pack has angled walls that create triangular flow passages in the flow path between the upper and lower walls. The heat exchanger can have multiple layers of this element, and a method for making the heat exchanger is also disclosed. The structure of this heat exchanger element produces advantageous flow characteristics.

  • The heat exchanger element has upper and lower walls with turbulators and a fin pack.
  • The fin pack has alternating angled walls that create triangular flow passages.
  • The heat exchanger can have multiple layers of this element.
  • A method for making the heat exchanger is disclosed.
  • The structure of the heat exchanger element improves flow characteristics.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • HVAC systems
  • Automotive cooling systems
  • Industrial heat exchangers
  • Power generation systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved heat transfer efficiency
  • Enhanced flow characteristics
  • Compact design for space-constrained applications

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Reduced size and weight
  • Improved performance and reliability
  • Cost-effective manufacturing process


Original Abstract Submitted

a heat exchanger element has upper and lower walls defining upper and lower flow surfaces of a flow path; turbulators on the upper and lower flow surfaces; and a fin pack between the upper and lower surfaces, the fin pack having alternating angled walls extending between the upper and lower surfaces to define triangular flow passages in the flow path between the upper and lower walls. a heat exchanger stack can have multiple layers of the heat exchanger element, and a method for making the heat exchanger is disclosed. the structure produces advantageous flow characteristics.
