Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A heat exchanger has a fluid passage sharing a wall with a cooling fluid passage adjacent to the passage. The thermally conductive wall allows heat to be transferred from the fluid into the cooling fluid passage. The passage additionally has a set of at least one airfoil pin extending into the passage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A heat exchanger comprising at least one stackable panel including at least one ligament portion, at least one pin having an airfoil profile, the at least one ligament portion having a smaller thickness along an axis perpendicular to an airfoil profile of said pin than a thickness of said at least one pin along an axis perpendicular to said airfoil profile of said pin. 2. The at least one stackable panel of claim 1 , comprising a pluralit…
