Abstract
A heat exchanger wherein the media that take part in the heat transfer are separated from one another. To provide a compact heat exchanger that has a high efficiency, the heat exchanger is formed by a base body, one surface of which is provided with at least one groove that extends from the inlet to the outlet and that is sealed by a cover, in the form of a flow channel, for the heat-absorbing heat transfer medium. The other surface of the base body has a plurality of channels and/or pores for the heat-emitting medium.
Claims8
A heat exchanger wherein the the heat-emitting medium and the heat-absorbing medium that take part in heat transfer are separated from one another, comprising:
- a base body having inlet and outlet means, said base body having a first surface that is provided with at least one groove that extends from said inlet means to said outlet means, said base body having a second surface that is provided with a plurality of passage means for said heat-emitting medium;
- a cover means that seals said at least one groove to thereby form a flow channel for said heat-absorbing medium.
