Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method includes providing a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet, printing a channel pattern on the first metal sheet, bonding the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet to each other, forming a plurality of channels by introducing a fluid between the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet, introducing working fluid in the plurality of channels, sealing the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet, and forming a plurality of through holes in locations where the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet are bonded to each other. The plurality of through holes are arranged in a plurality of rows, each row including at least two through holes, and each location where the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet are bonded to each other includes a single through hole of the plurality of through holes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a heat exchanger, the method comprising: providing a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet; printing a channel pattern on the first metal sheet; bonding the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet to each other; forming a plurality of channels by introducing a fluid between the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet; introducing working fluid in the plurality of channels; sealing the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet; and forming a plurality of through holes in locations where the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet are bonded to each other, wherein the plurality of through holes are arranged in a plurality of rows, each row including at least two through holes, and wherein each location where the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet are bonded to each other includes a single through hole of the plurality of through holes. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: securing a working pipe to a working channel defined by the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet, the working channel being in fluid communication with the plurality of channels; and introducing working fluid in the plurality of channels via the working pipe and the working channel. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein printing the channel pattern on the first metal sheet includes printing a graphite pattern on the first metal sheet. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: evacuating the fluid from the plurality of channels by introducing the working fluid. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the plurality of through holes is the same. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the plurality of through holes is 0.50 mm to 6.00 mm. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the through holes in adjacent rows are staggered.
