HEAT EXCHANGER

摘要

The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) consisting of open-pore metallic foam (2), at least some of the cells contained in the metallic foam (2) being interconnected in such a way that a liquid medium can flow through said metallic foam (2). Said metallic foam can have a graduation. Furthermore, the metallic foam can comprise other structural elements which are connected thereto, said structural elements and the open-pore metallic foam being cast in a single piece. In addition to the open-pore metallic foam (2), the inventive heat exchanger also consists of at least one heat dissipator (9) which is connected to the metallic foam (2) in a material fit, the surface of the heat dissipator (9) opposite the metallic foam (2) being structured.
