Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a plurality of fins arranged as a network and delimiting corridors, and an envelope having an internal wall and an external wall, the internal and external walls delimiting between them a channel for a flow of a first fluid in a main direction, the network of fins being arranged in the channel and connected to the internal and external walls, at least one passage for a flow of a second fluid being embedded in at least one of the internal and external walls, the channel being, in the main direction, divergent and then convergent.
Claims11
A heat exchanger comprising:
- a plurality of fins arranged as a network and delimiting corridors;
- an envelope comprising:
- an internal wall and an external wall, the internal and external walls delimiting between them a channel for a flow of a first fluid in a main direction, the channel being, in the main direction, divergent and then convergent;
- and
- at least one passage for a flow of a second fluid being embedded in at least one of the internal and external walls;
- wherein the network of fins is arranged in the channel and connected to the internal and external walls;
- wherein the internal and external walls are arched, seen in a plane perpendicular to the main direction;
- wherein the envelope has a radial height between the internal wall and the external wall, the radial height defining a radial direction perpendicular to the main direction, the radial height of the envelope being variable along the main direction;
- and
- wherein the envelope as two side walls connecting the internal wall to the external wall and the envelope has a circumferential width between the side walls defining a circumferential direction perpendicular to the radial direction and to the main direction, the circumferential width being variable along the main direction.
