Module for a heat exchanger having improved thermal characteristics

摘要

A module for a heat exchanger comprises a first generally planar member having a first opening at an opposite end with respect to a second opening. A second generally metallic planar member has a first opening at an opposite end with respect to a second opening. The first generally planar member may be aligned with the second generally planar member to form a cavity in communication with the first opening and the second opening. A pattern of elevated regions may extend from the first generally planar member and the second generally planar member. The pattern of elevated regions has a regional longitudinal axis that is tilted with respect to a reference longitudinal axis of at least one of the first generally planar member and the second generally planar member. A flow longitudinal axis may be tilted with respect to the reference longitudinal axis to facilitate a cross-flow of the fluid with respect to the elevated regions.
