Claims20
A surface cooler comprising:
- a base plate;
- and
- at least one fin element extending from the base plate, the at least one fin element having an outer surface portion that is configured and disposed to be in direct contact with a first fluid and an inner surface portion that is configured and disposed to be in direct contact with a second fluid, the at least one fin element defining a primary heat exchange member that is configured and disposed to facilitate an exchange of heat between the first and second fluids, wherein the at least one fin element is operatively connected to the base plate through one or more heat transfer pins formed of a plurality of heat transfer elements stacked one on another.
A surface cooler comprising:
- a base plate;
- and
- a plurality of fin elements operatively connected to the base plate, each of the plurality of fin elements including a fluid channel, and adjacent ones of the plurality of fin elements define a fluid passage, each of the plurality of fin elements establishing a primary heat exchange member that is configured and disposed to facilitate a direct transfer of heat between a fluid in the fluid channel and a fluid in the fluid passage, wherein at least one of the plurality of fin elements is operatively connected to the base plate through one or more heat transfer pins formed from a plurality of heat transfer elements stacked one on another.
