FLEXURAL SUPPORT FOR HEAT EXCHANGER CORES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044590 titled 'FLEXURAL SUPPORT FOR HEAT EXCHANGER CORES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a heat exchanger that consists of a heat exchanger core, a pressure housing, and a flex beam. The pressure housing forms a core chamber, and the flex beam connects the heat exchanger core and the pressure housing. The flex beam suspends the heat exchanger core away from the pressure housing within the core chamber. The flex beam has a core end connected to the heat exchanger core and a housing end connected to the pressure housing.
- The heat exchanger core is suspended away from the pressure housing by a flex beam.
- The flex beam connects the heat exchanger core and the pressure housing.
- The pressure housing defines a core chamber.
- The flex beam has a core end connected to the heat exchanger core and a housing end connected to the pressure housing.
Potential Applications:
- HVAC systems
- Industrial heat exchangers
- Automotive cooling systems
Problems Solved:
- Prevents direct contact between the heat exchanger core and the pressure housing, reducing heat transfer losses and potential damage.
- Provides flexibility and vibration isolation, improving the performance and durability of the heat exchanger.
Benefits:
- Improved heat transfer efficiency
- Enhanced durability and reliability
- Reduced maintenance and repair costs
Original Abstract Submitted
a heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger core, a pressure housing, and a flex beam. the pressure housing at least partially defines a core chamber. the flex beam extends between and connects the heat exchanger core and the pressure housing such that the heat exchanger core is suspended away from the pressure housing within the core chamber by the flex beam. the flex beam includes a core end connected to the heat exchanger core and a housing end spaced along the flex beam from the core end and connected to the pressure housing.
