HEAT EXCHANGER COMPRISING HEADERS WITH FRACTAL GEOMETRY

A heat exchanger header (12) for receiving a first fluid (Fi) includes a tubular primary fluid channel (18) oriented along a first axis and having a first cross-sectional area. A first branched region (20) adjacent to the primary fluid channel fluidly connects to a plurality of tubular secondary flu...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A heat exchanger header (12) for receiving a first fluid (Fi) includes a tubular primary fluid channel (18) oriented along a first axis and having a first cross-sectional area. A first branched region (20) adjacent to the primary fluid channel fluidly connects to a plurality of tubular secondary fluid channels (22), each having a second cross-sectional area, and a second branched region (24) adjacent to each of the secondary fluid channels fluidly connects to a plurality of tubular tertiary fluid channels (26), each having a third cross-sectional area. The second cross-sectional area is greater than the third cross-sectional area.
