WEAVED CROSS-FLOW HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD OF FORMING A HEAT EXCHANGER

A heat exchanger is disclosed herein that includes three walls (12,14,16) that are each shaped in a wave pattern with the waves that extend in both a first lateral direction and a second lateral direction. A second wall is adjacent to and in contact with a first wall with the waves of the second wal...

Zusammenfassung:A heat exchanger is disclosed herein that includes three walls (12,14,16) that are each shaped in a wave pattern with the waves that extend in both a first lateral direction and a second lateral direction. A second wall is adjacent to and in contact with a first wall with the waves of the second wall being offset from the waves of the first wall by one-half wavelength in the first direction. The third wall is adjacent to and in contact with the second wall with the waves of the third wall being offset from the waves o the second wall by one-half wavelength in the second direction. The first wall and second wall form a first plurality of flow paths (30B) extending in the second direction, and the second wall and the third wall form a second plurality of flow paths (32B) extending in the first direction.
