Abstract: A heat exchanger includes an outer tube having a first axial end and a second axial end, and a pressure barrier tube positioned generally concentric to and within the outer tube such that a first flowpath is defined axially through at least a portion of the outer tube and radially between the outer tube and the pressure barrier tube. A second flowpath is defined within and at least partially axially through the pressure barrier tube. The heat exchanger also includes a first plurality of fins coupled to and extending between the outer tube and the pressure barrier tube, through the first flowpath, and a second plurality of fins coupled to and extending radially inward from the pressure barrier tube, through the second flowpath. A first fluid in the first flowpath exchanges heat with a second fluid in the second flowpath via heat transfer through the first plurality of fins, the pressure barrier tube, and the second plurality of fins.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a casing having a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet, and a second outlet, and a plate assembly positioned between the first inlet and the first outlet and between the second inlet and the second outlet and at least partially in the casing, the plate assembly is being configured to transfer heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger also includes a first plenum connecting a first side of the plate assembly and configured to direct the first fluid from first inlet to the plate assembly, and a second plenum connecting a second side of the plate assembly and configured to direct the first fluid from the plate assembly to the first outlet. An exterior of the second plenum is in contact with the second fluid, and the second plenum is configured to resiliently deflect in response to thermal expansion.

Abstract: A brake rotor having first and second brake plates and a corrugated fin structure. The fin structure has a plurality of fins. A first portion of each fin is metallurgically bonded to the first brake plate and a second portion of each fin is metallurgically bonded to the second brake plate. The use of a corrugated fin structure that is separately manufactured from the brake plates permits design choices with respect to fin type, fins per inch, material type and thickness, cross sectional shape of fin, and special fin characteristics that better permit the brake rotor to match its intended environment and expected performance.
