    Abstract: A fluid manifold includes an inlet comprising an opening into an interior of the fluid manifold, an outlet end that is positioned opposite the inlet and that is in fluid communication with the inlet, a shroud extending between the inlet and the outlet end and surrounding a flow path of the fluid manifold, and a first flow distributor positioned within the interior of the fluid manifold. The first flow distributor includes a hollow body including a first surface at a downstream side of the first flow distributor and a second surface at an upstream side of the first flow distributor, a central cavity defined by the second surface of the hollow body, and openings extending from the first surface to the second surface such that a fluid can pass from the central cavity through the openings. The first flow distributor and the fluid manifold are integrally formed.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a first fluid inlet, a first fluid outlet, a second fluid inlet, a second fluid outlet, and a core section. The core section includes a plurality of first fluid passages through which a first fluid is flowed, and a plurality of second fluid passages through which a second fluid is flowed to exchange thermal energy with the first fluid. The first fluid passages and the second fluid passages extend non-linearly along a length of the first fluid passages and the second fluid passages between a first core end and a second core end opposite the first core end. A manifold is operably connected to the plurality of first fluid passages. The manifold includes a plurality of lateral passages intersecting the plurality of first fluid passages. The plurality of lateral passages vary in length depending on distance from a fluidly upstream end of the core section.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger and a method of assembling the heat exchanger involve a monolithic main body extending along an axis from a first end to a second end. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of flow channels to channel a first material from an inlet to an outlet. Each of the plurality of flow channels traverse a spiral flow path from the inlet at a center of the main body to the outlet at an exterior surface of the main body, and the plurality of flow paths are aligned along the axis. The heat exchanger also includes a plurality of passages to hold a second material, each passage extending along the axis from the first end to the second end. A first side and a second side, opposite the first side, of each of the passages is defined by the spiral flow path of the plurality of flow channels.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes first fluid passages that each have a first inlet that communicates into a first core passage and then a first outlet. The first inlet has a first inlet cross-sectional perimeter. The first core passage has a first core cross-sectional perimeter. Second fluid passages are interleaved with the first fluid passages. Each of the second passages have a second inlet that communicates into a second core passage and then a second outlet. The second inlet has a second inlet cross-sectional perimeter. The second core passage has a second core cross-sectional perimeter. The first and second core cross-sectional perimeters are larger than their respective first and second inlet cross-sectional perimeters. The first and second core passages are undivided from their respective first and second inlets to their respective first and second outlets.
