Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A heat exchanger for cooling fluid passing through the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a hot fluid flowpath and a cold air flowpath. At least a portion of the cold air flowpath has a thermally conductive wall transferring thermal energy from hot fluid flowing through the hot fluid flowpath to cold air flowing through the cold air flowpath. The cold air flowpath includes a separator for separating ice particles from the cold air flowing through the cold air flowpath. The separator includes a passage having a bottom wall, an end wall, and a side wall including a porous wall through which a majority of cold air entering the separator passes. The end wall has an ice particle discharge opening adjacent the bottom wall permitting a minority of the cold air entering the separator to carry ice particles separated from the majority of cold air through the opening.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A heat exchanger for cooling fluid passing through the exchanger, the heat exchanger comprising: a casing; a spaced pair of thermally conductive walls included with the casing; a porous foam panel positioned in spaced relation between the pair of thermally conductive walls and defining a gap between one of the thermally conductive walls and the porous foam panel, the gap defining a hot fluid flowpath inside the gap for carrying a hot fluid from a hot flu…
