Abstract
Heat exchanger has a first surface on which a first fluid flows and a second surface on which a second fluid flows, at least one of the first and second surfaces has at least two projections and a bottom therebetween, and an imaginary line on the bottom along a shortest distance between the projections adjacent to each other is prevented from extending along an imaginary face substantially parallel to a main flow direction of one of the first and second fluids which flows over the bottom.
Claims4
A heat exchanger for heat exchange between first and second fluids comprising:
- a first surface on which the first fluid flows;
- a second surface on which the second fluid flows;
- and wherein
- at least one of the first and second surfaces has at least two dents and a partition wall therebetween and a height of a part of the partition wall relative to a bottom of each of the dents on an imaginary line along a shortest distance on the partition wall between adjacent dents is smaller than a height on another part of the partition wall not along the imaginary line.
A heat exchanger for heat exchange between first and second fluids comprising:
- a heat exchange wall having a first surface on which the first fluid flows and a second surface opposite said first surface on which the second fluid flows;
- wherein
- at least one of the first and second surfaces has at least two dents and a partition wall therebetween and a height of a part of the partition wall relative to a bottom of each of the dents on an imaginary line along a shortest distance on the partition wall between adjacent dents is smaller than a height on another part of the partition wall not along the imaginary line, and wherein a thickness of the heat exchange wall between the first and second surfaces at the bottoms of the dents is larger than a thickness therebetween at a part of the partition wall on the imaginary line.
A heat exchanger for heat exchange between first and second fluids comprising:
- a heat exchange wall having a first surface on which the first fluid flows and a second surface opposite said first surface on which the second fluid flows;
- wherein
- at least one of the first and second surfaces has at least two dents and a partition wall therebetween and a height of a part of the partition wall relative to a bottom of each of the dents on an imaginary line along a shortest distance on the partition wall between adjacent dents is smaller than a height on another part of the partition wall not along the imaginary line, and wherein a thickness of the heat exchange wall between the first and second surfaces at the bottoms of the dents is smaller than a distance therebetween at a part of the partition wall not on the imaginary line.
A heat exchanger for heat exchange between first and second fluids comprising:
- a heat exchange wall having a first surface on which the first fluid flows and a second surface opposite said first surface on which the second fluid flows;
- wherein
- at least one of the first and second surfaces has at least two projections and a bottom therebetween and a depth of a part of the bottom on an imaginary line along the bottom representing a shortest distance between adjacent projections relative to tops of the adjacent projections is less than a depth of another part of the bottom not along the imaginary line relative to the tops of the adjacent projections, and wherein a thickness of the heat exchange wall between the first and second surfaces at the tops of the adjacent projections is larger than a thickness therebetween at a part of the bottom on the imaginary line.
