Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the rotary high density heat exchangers. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to rotary high density heat exchangers that contain one or more fan blades where each fan blade contains heat exchanging surfaces on the surface thereof.
Claims40
A rotary high density heat exchanger comprising:
- a center shaft, wherein the center shaft is designed to permit the transfer of a heat transfer media;
- at least two heat exchanger blades, wherein each of the at least two heat exchanger blades further comprises at least one heat transfer passageway within the internal structure of the blade that are fluidically connected to the center shaft so as to permit the flow of heat transfer media from the center shaft to an outer edge of a respective heat exchanger blade;
- a heat transfer media collector, wherein the heat transfer media collector is fluidically connected to at least one outer portion of a respective heat transfer passageway in order to collect cooled heat transfer media;
- and
- a double hollow shaft, wherein one portion of the double hollow shaft is designed to be fluidically connected to the center shaft in order to supply hot, or heated, heat transfer media to the center shaft and wherein the other portion of the double hollow shaft is designed to be fluidically connected to the heat transfer media collector in order to supply cooled heat transfer media for a cooling application,
- wherein the heat transfer passageway in each of the least two heat exchanger blades is serpentine in shape;
- and
- wherein the heat transfer media collector has an outer diameter defining an outer edge of the heat exchanger blades located distal from the double hollow shaft.
