Abstract
A heat exchanger tube includes a tube formed substantially of a heat conducting material, the tube being defined by a length, a height, and a width. The heat exchanger tube also includes at least one conduit formed within the tube and extending the length of the tube, the conduit defining an inlet at one end of the tube and the conduit defining an outlet at the opposite end of the tube, the conduit having a cross-section defined within the height and width of the tube, the cross-section having an oscillating geometry.

A heat exchanger tube, comprising:
- a tube formed substantially of a heat conducting material, the tube being defined by a length, a height, and a width;
- and
- at least one conduit formed within the tube and extending the length of the tube, the conduit defining an inlet at one end of the tube and the conduit defining an outlet at the opposite end of the tube, the conduit having a cross-section defined within the height and width of the tube, the cross-section having an oscillating geometry.
A heat exchanger, comprising:
- more than one tube formed substantially of a heat conducting material, each tube being defined by a length, a height, and a width, each tube having an inlet end and an outlet end;
- at least one conduit formed within each tube and extending the length of each tube, the conduit defining an inlet at one end of each tube and the conduit defining an outlet at the opposite end of each tube, the conduit having a cross-section defined within the height and width of each tube, the cross-section having an oscillating geometry;
- an inlet manifold fluidly coupled to each of the inlet ends of the more than one tubes and configured to receive a fluid;
- an outlet manifold fluidly coupled to each of the outlet ends of the more than one tubes;
- and
- heat conducting structures conductively coupled to the more than one tubes.
