Abstract:
Heat exchange devices (1) and methods of using and making them are disclosed. The heat exchange devices (1) have an elongate core (2) with a helical member (3) coiling along the outer surface of the core and extending along the longitudinal axis of the core. The heat exchange devices can be used alone or in groups, wherein a plurality of heat exchange devices can be connected independently to a substrate (10) and be disconnected from adjacent heat exchange devices. Fluids can be forced between the heat exchange devices to facilitate heat transfer.
Abstract:
A fluid cooling device, and a method for manufacturing the fluid cooling device, are disclosed. The fluid cooling device includes a plurality of cold plate members, each having a plurality of imperforate plate portions and perforate portions arranged in a line; and, at least one connector for connecting the plate portions together at one end thereof. The cold plate members are arranged in a stack, wherein respective plate portions of each cold plate member are in registration with perforate portions formed in its adjacent cold plate members in the stack. The fluid cooling device can provide very high heat transfer by close clearance laminar developing flow, thereby increasing the thermal performance of the fluid cooling device while maintaining low pressure drop. The method for manufacturing the fluid cooling device includes forming a plurality of cold plate members from a planar metal tape, or thin layer stock; positioning the cold plate members relative to each other so that the respective imperforate plate portions of each cold plate member are in registration with the perforate portions formed in adjacent cold plate members; and joining each cold plate member with the adjacent cold plate members.
