Abstract
A heat exchanger cooling fin (401), for use in a fluid flow environment, comprising a fin plate (402) having a series of substantially mutually parallel louvres (403), each louvre (403) having a convex curved surface (404) facing in the opposite direction to each adjacent louvre (403), said series of louvres defining a nominal fluid flow path along the series over said convex curved surface (404) of each louvre (403).
Claims6
A heat exchanger cooling fin for use in a fluid flow environment, comprising a fin plate having a series of substantially mutually parallel louvres, each louvre having a convex curved surface facing in the opposite direction to each adjacent louvre, said series of louvres defining a nominal fluid flow path along the series over said convex curved surface of each louvre.
A heat exchanger having a heat exchanger cooling fin, for use in a fluid flow environment, said heat exchanger cooling fin comprsing a fin plate having a series of louvres arranged to direct fluid flow from a first side of said fin plate to the second side of the fin plate and back to said first side of the fin plate, and said heat exchanger comprising tubing in heat transfer contact with the fin plate, said tubing extending in a direction along said series of louvres.
A heat exchanger having a heat exchanger cooling fin, for use in a fluid flow environment, said heat exchanger cooling fin comprising a fin plate having a series of louvres arranged to direct free convection fluid flow from a first side of said fin plate to the second side of the fin plate and back to said first side of the fin plate.
