<p>A heat exchanger for radiant heating and cooling applications provides a graphite heat spreader attached to a liner. The liner includes a groove, or recess, shaped for accommodating a thermal element. The heat spreader extends into and conforms to the groove. In one embodiment a snap tab is integrally molded on the liner and protrudes into the groove for retaining the thermal element in the groove. In one embodiment the snap tab extends through a clearance void in the heat spreader for engaging the thermal element. Methods of forming a heat exchanger, a heat spreader and a liner are also provided.</p> |
