A finned heat exchanger (14) has a thermally conductive base (15) having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface being adapted to make intimate surface contact with a surface from which heat is to be transferred or to which heat is to be transferred; a thermally conductive cover (16) spaced from said base; a plurality of thermally conductive walls (21) of thickness T between said base and said cover; a plurality of narrow channels defined between adjacent walls (21), said base (15) and said cover (16) through which a heat transfer liquid flows when said heat exchanger is in use; wherein each narrow channel has a width W, an inlet end, and an outlet end, and; wherein the minimum number of channels/meter N is defined by the approximation: N=314*W - 13 |
