HEAT EXCHANGER WITH HEAT TRANSFER AUGMENTATION FEATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044588 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER WITH HEAT TRANSFER AUGMENTATION FEATURES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a heat exchanger that consists of multiple first channels and second channels. The first channels have internal and external fins, while the second channels are isolated from the first channels. The external fins connect and extend from the external walls of the first channels, creating a network of interconnected channels.

  • The heat exchanger has a design with longitudinally-extending first channels and isolated second channels.
  • The first channels have spiraling internal fins and external fins.
  • The internal fins are integral with the internal walls of the first channels.
  • The external fins are integral with the external walls of the first channels and connect the channels together.
  • The second channels are defined by the external walls of the first channels and the external fins.

Potential Applications:

  • HVAC systems
  • Automotive cooling systems
  • Industrial heat transfer systems

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient heat transfer between fluids
  • Compact design for space-constrained applications
  • Enhanced thermal performance

Benefits:

  • Improved heat transfer efficiency
  • Compact and space-saving design
  • Increased thermal performance
  • Versatile application in various industries


Original Abstract Submitted

a heat exchanger includes a plurality of longitudinally-extending first channels and a plurality of second channels fluidly isolated from the plurality of first channels. each first channels includes a plurality of spiraling internal fins and a plurality of external fins. the internal fins extend from and are integrally formed with the internal walls of the first channel. the external fins connect extend from and are integrally formed with the external walls of the first channels, connecting channels together. the plurality of second channels is defined in part by external walls of the plurality of first channels and the plurality of external fins.
