Abstract
A heat exchanger for an electrical component, said exchanger comprising a first body (28) defining at least a primary channel (30) and a secondary channel (32), which are parallel and adjacent, in which fluid circulates in series from the primary channel (30) to the secondary channel (32), in opposite directions, said first body (28) having at least one exchange surface for exchanging heat between the fluid circulating in said channels (30, 32) and said component, a width of the primary channels (30) being less than a width of the secondary channels (32).
Claims11
A heat exchanger for an electrical component, said exchanger comprising:
- a first body defining at least a primary channel and at least a secondary channel, which are parallel and adjacent, in which fluid circulates in series from the primary channel to the secondary channel, in opposite directions,
- said first body having at least one exchange surface for exchanging heat between the fluid circulating in said primary channel and said secondary channel, and said electrical component, a width of the primary channels being less than a width of the secondary channels,
- wherein the width ratio between the secondary channel and the primary channel is between 1.5 and 4.
An assembly comprising:
- an electrical component;
- and
- an exchanger comprising:
- a first body defining at least a primary channel and at least a secondary channel, which are parallel and adjacent, in which fluid circulates in series from the primary channel to the secondary channel, in opposite directions,
- said first body having at least one exchange surface for exchanging heat between the fluid circulating in said primary channel, said secondary channel, and said electrical component, a width of the primary channels being less than a width of the secondary channels,
- wherein the width ratio between the secondary channel and the primary channel is between 1.5 and 3.
A heat exchanger for an electrical component, said exchanger comprising:
- a first body defining at least a primary channel and at least a secondary channel, which are parallel and adjacent, in which fluid circulates in series from the primary channel to the secondary channel, in opposite directions,
- said first body having at least one exchange surface for exchanging heat between the fluid circulating in said primary channel and said secondary channel, and said electrical component, a width of the primary channels being less than a width of the secondary channels;
- wherein the exchanger comprises a manifold for circulation of the fluid to the primary channel and from the secondary channel, said manifold having an inlet and an outlet for the passage of the fluid;
- and
- wherein said manifold comprises primary stamped portions for controlling the flow of fluid between the inlet of the manifold and the primary channel.
