    摘要: A heat exchanger body includes at least a first channel wall portion, a second channel wall portion, and a third channel wall portion. A first channel for a first fluid, and a second channel for a second fluid are provided such that heat is allowed to be transferred between the first channel and the second channel via the second channel wall portion. A plurality of first support structures are arranged in the first channel and extend from the first channel wall portion to the second channel wall portion. A plurality of second support structures are arranged in the second channel and extending from the second channel wall portion to the third channel wall portion. The support structures are configured to support the second and third channel wall portions during manufacturing of the heat exchanger.

    摘要: A communication-type thermal conduction device includes a vapor chamber, at least one heat pipe, and at least one third capillary structure. The vapor chamber has a bottom board, and a first capillary structure is disposed on an inner surface of the bottom board. A second capillary structure is disposed in the heat pipe. One end portion of the heat pipe is connected to the bottom board, and the end portion has an open portion in communication with the heat pipe and the vapor chamber. The second capillary structure has a connected portion exposed by means of the open portion. The third capillary structure is connected to the first capillary structure and the connected portion, so that the first and second capillary structures are in communication with each other. Accordingly, holistic thermal conduction can be achieved, and the vapor chamber incorporating the heat pipe can provide the desired heat dissipation effect.

    摘要: A vapor chamber includes an upper casing, a lower casing, a support member, a wick material and a working fluid. The support member is formed of a plurality of ribs connected with each other, and a plurality of surrounded spaces are formed and regularly arranged between the ribs. Each rib has an upper abutting end and a lower abutting end. By the interconnection of the upper abutting ends and the lower abutting ends of the ribs, the ribs are inclined and each has a relatively higher end and a relatively lower end, so that a plurality of subspaces are respectively formed under the body of each rib close to the upper abutting end and above the body of each rib close to the lower abutting end, and the subspaces are in communication with the surrounded spaces between the ribs.

    摘要: A heat exchanger module adapted for being mounted directly to the outer surface of the housing of an automobile system component, such as a transmission or engine housing, is provided. The heat exchanger module comprises a heat exchanger fixedly attached to an adapter module. The adapter module contains one of more fluid transfer channels, interface connectors, seals and mounting holes for screws and/or bolts. In one exemplary embodiment, the adapter module is comprised of an adapter plate that is sealed with one or more shim plates, the shim plates also providing a brazing surface for brazing the adapter module directly to the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger therefore being attached to the adapter module without the use of a base plate.

    摘要: An elongate heat exchanger for cooling hot gas includes an arrangement for reducing thermal stresses when mounted in a housing. A pair of planar extensions project from opposite sides of the core. A mounting bracket has a central portion adapted to extend across the top of the core, and a pair of edge portions projecting outwardly from the central portion. The edge portions are substantially parallel to the planar extensions, and each has a top layer at least partially covering one of the planar extensions, wherein each of the edge portions is adapted to be secured to the housing, for example by a bolt. Each planar extension may be slidably received in a slot between the top and bottom layers of the edge portion, or may be slidably received between the top layer and the housing, to permit longitudinal thermal expansion of the core.
