Abstract
A heat transfer system (e.g., a heat pump) can include at least a first fin array and at least a first pump disposed in fluid communication with the first fin array and configured to cause a first fluid to flow through the first fin array. The system can include at least a first heat transfer layer attached to and/or in thermal communication with the first fin array. The first heat transfer layer can define a second fluid flow path therein for a second fluid to flow fluidly isolated from the first fluid. The first heat transfer layer and the first fin array can be configured to cause heat transfer between the first fluid and the second fluid.
Claims18
A heat transfer system, comprising:
- at least a first fin array;
- at least a first pump disposed in fluid communication with the first fin array and configured to cause a first fluid to flow through the first fin array;
- and
- at least a first heat transfer layer attached to and/or in thermal communication with the first fin array, the first heat transfer layer defining a second fluid flow path therein for a second fluid to flow fluidly isolated from the first fluid, wherein the first heat transfer layer and the first fin array are configured to cause heat transfer between the first fluid and the second fluid, wherein the first fin array is disk shaped and defines a central hole therethrough, wherein the first pump is a centrifugal pump disposed in the central hole configured to cause the first fluid to flow through the first fin array.
