  • Patent number: 10690422
    Abstract: A method and assembly for conveying heat from a heat exchanger having a housing defining a fluid pathway including at least one fluid passageway leading from an inlet port of the heat exchanger to an outlet port of the heat exchanger, the housing have a first side and a second side, opposite the first side where the housing includes at least one aperture extending through the housing from the first side to the second side and where the aperture is fluidly separate from the fluid pathway and heat from liquid flowing through the fluid pathway is transferred via at least one of conduction or convection to the housing.

  • Patent number: 9677474
    Abstract: A surface heat exchanger is provided which utilizes forward and aft brackets to retain the heat exchanger in position. The surface heat exchanger includes a plurality of core cooling channels as well as fins which are disposed for air flow through the gas turbine engine. The brackets include a low-friction wear material as well as an isolator sheet which provides some spring force on the heat exchanger.
