Abstract
A heat exchanger can comprise: a housing; a heat transfer region disposed within the housing; and an inlet manifold or an inlet conduit defined at least partially by an interior surface extending axially from a first end of the heat exchanger to an inlet defined by the heat transfer region, the inlet manifold or the inlet conduit comprising a dimple configuration disposed in the interior surface. The heat exchanger can further comprise an outlet manifold or an outlet conduit including a dimple configuration disposed on an interior surface of the outlet manifold or outlet conduit.
Claims16
A heat exchanger, comprising:
- a housing;
- a heat transfer region disposed within the housing;
- and
- an inlet manifold defined at least partially by an interior surface recessed from a first edge to a second edge, the second edge extending axially from a first end of the heat exchanger to an inlet defined by the heat transfer region and disposed transversely with respect to the inlet manifold, the inlet manifold comprising a dimple configuration disposed in the interior surface.
A heat exchanger, comprising:
- a housing;
- a heat transfer region disposed within the housing;
- an inlet fluid conduit extending from a first end to an inlet of the housing, the inlet defined by the heat transfer region, the inlet fluid conduit defining an interior surface and comprising a dimple configuration disposed in the interior surface;
- and
- an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold, the inlet manifold in fluid communication with the outlet manifold through the heat transfer region.
