  • Patent number: 5636684
    Abstract: A cooling element and connector comprises a metallic body formed by a good heat and electricity conducting material. Ceramic tubes are housed axially in orifices of the body, and are connected to manifolds for circulation of a cooling fluid. The tubes contain turbulating devices designed to channel the fluid according to a turbulent flow with a helicoidal trajectory. The heat exchange is optimum due to a metallic alloy with a low melting point inserted into the annular gaps arranged between the tubes and the corresponding orifices of the body. Assembly of the manifolds on the body is performed by means of screws inserted into the opposite ends of the turbulating devices.
