  • Publication number: 20230392881
    Abstract: A heat exchanger plate module comprises a pressed heat exchanger plate and a flat plate, and a heat exchanger comprises plural of the modules. The plates comprise first and second longitudinal end portions each having a fluid port, and an intermediate heat exchange portion between the first and second longitudinal end portions. The plates further include a pressed corrugated pattern with alternating tops and bottoms in the thickness direction. The pressed pattern comprises in the first and/or second longitudinal end portions, a first fluid channel pattern leading fluid flow into the fluid port and/or a second fluid channel pattern bypassing the fluid port. In the intermediate heat exchange portion, a third fluid channel pattern fluidly communicates with the first and/or second fluid channel pattern and comprises longitudinally extending wave-shaped pressed lines that form discrete longitudinal extending fluid channels, when the pressed heat exchanger plate is attached to the flat plate.

  • Patent number: 11079186
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a central body with a first set of channels and a second set of channels extending along a main direction through the central body, wherein, in the central body, in any cross-section across the main direction, the channels of the first and second sets form a checkered pattern in said cross-sections, wherein the heat exchanger further includes two inner transition portions, wherein, in respective inner transition portion, among the rows extending along a first direction, are every second, counted along a second direction, row provided with channels being along the main direction increasingly shifted in position in a first direction relative to the other channels such that the checkered pattern of channels is transformed into a line pattern.
