Abstract
A heat exchanging apparatus comprising of plurality of disk units, said disk units having an inlet and an outlet. Disposed within a disk unit is a chamber to facilitate flow of heat exchange medium, having a heat exchange medium directing member disposed within the chamber to direct flow of heat exchange medium herein, said disk unit having surface extensions on the outer periphery of disk units to enhance performance of the heat exchanging apparatus.
Claims19
1) A heat exchanging apparatus comprising:
- a first disk member having an inlet on first side of said first disk member, second side of said first disk member having a ring-like member projecting outwardly, said ring-like member having a generally planar top surface, a wall member extending outwardly from the second side of said first disk member engaging the ring-like member at the inner circumference of said ring-like member;
- a second disk member having an outlet on first side of said second disk member;
- said first disk member and said second disk member coupled together on respective second side of disk members, wherein the ring-like member on the first disk member is engaging the second side of the second disk member, forming a disk unit, said disk unit having a chamber within to facilitate flow of heat exchange medium herein;
- wherein a heat exchange medium directing member is disposed within said disk unit, first end of the heat exchange medium directing member having a channel formed at an angle, engaging the inlet of the first disk member, second end of said heat exchange medium directing member having a channel formed at an angle, engaging the outlet of the second disk member;
- wherein plurality of said disk units are coupled together.

13) A method of making a heat exchanging apparatus comprising:
- providing a first generally planar material forming an inlet on first side of said first material;
- form said first material, forming a ring-like member with generally planar surface on the outer circumference of a second side of said first material, formed by first making an annular bend generally perpendicular from the second side of said first material, making a second annular bend generally perpendicular from the first bend, bending the material laterally outwardly on the second side said first material;
- cutting out a desired shaped disk member out of said first material, forming a first disk member;
- providing a second generally planar material forming an outlet on first side of said second material;
- cutting out a desired shaped disk member out of said second material, forming a second disk member;
- couple said first disk member and second disk member on respective second side of said disk members, top surface of the ring-like member on the second side of the first disk member engaging the second side of the second disk member, leaving a chamber between respective second side of the first disk member and the second disk member forming a disk unit;
- providing a material, said material having a first channel cut at an angle on a first end, a second channel cut at an angle on an opposite end, forming a heat exchange medium directing member;
- dispose said heat exchange medium directing member, first end of said heat exchange medium directing member engaging the inlet of the first disk member, second end of said heat exchange medium directing member engaging the outlet of the second disk member;
- wherein plurality of said disk units are coupled together.
