Abstract
An evaporator heat exchanger is disclosed. The evaporator heat exchanger includes a bottom plate, a top plate, and at least one main plate between the bottom plate and the top plate. The at least one main plate includes a first face having one or more channels for flow of a first fluid along the first face and a second face opposite the first face having one or more channels for flow of a second fluid along the second face, wherein heat is exchanged between the first fluid and the second fluid through the main plate. Main plates adjacent to each other define an enclosed channel for fluid flow.
Claims20
An evaporator heat exchanger, comprising:
- a bottom plate;
- a top plate;
- and
- a main plate between the bottom plate and the top plate, wherein the main plate includes a first face having one or more channels for flow of a first fluid along the first face and a second face opposite the first face having one or more channels for flow of a second fluid along the second face, wherein heat is exchanged between the first fluid and the second fluid through the main plate.
A main plate of an evaporator heat exchanger, comprising:
- a first face having one or more channels for flow of a first fluid along the first face;
- and
- a second face opposite the first face having one or more channels for flow of a second fluid along the second face;
- wherein heat is exchanged between the first fluid and the second fluid through the main plate.
An evaporator heat exchanger, comprising:
- a first main plate including a first face having a ridge and a trough for defining a first volume for flow of a fluid along the first face;
- and
- a second main plate including a second face having a ridge and a trough defining a second volume for flow of a fluid along the second face;
- wherein the first main plate and the second main plate are placed adjacent each other to define an enclosed channel for fluid flow from the first volume and the second volume.
