| 摘要 |
A heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing the heat exchanger is disclosed for dissipating heat from a heat generating component. The heat exchanger comprises a thermally conductive base in thermal communication with the component, a plurality of thermally conductive plate fins affixed to the base wherein the plate fins define a fin field and channels, and fluid control for controlling the fluid flow within the fin field. The individual fins of the heat exchanger comprise apertures extending through the walls of the individual fins. The formation of the apertures within the individual plate fins provides communication of fluid across the channels within the fin field. Alternatively or in conjunction with the above-outlined embodiments, the heat exchanger may comprise a fluid control feature for substantially preventing premature egress of fluid from a top region of the fin field caused by the high pressure region within the fin field, as well as formation of surface anomalies along the walls of the individual plate fin for disrupting formation of a boundary layer along the fins and minimizing stagnation of fluid flow within the fin field. Accordingly, the heat exchanger may be mounted to a heat dissipating device at a plurality of angles, as the formation of apertures in each of the individual plate fins guarantees cross communication of the fluid flow regardless of the angle at which the heat exchanger is mounted to the heat generating component.
