Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus of fabricating three-dimensional heat transfer enhancing features on a surface of a substrate, the three-dimensional heat transfer enhancing features having a predetermined desired shape on a surface of a substrate. A mask is supplied, the mask having a pattern formed therein. The pattern is selected based on the predetermined desired shape of the three-dimensional heat transfer enhancing features to be fabricated. A jet of impinging coating particles is sprayed through the mask towards the substrate. A portion of the jet is selectively blocked with the pattern in the mask to fabricate the three-dimensional heat transfer enhancing features on the substrate.

Abstract: A heat exchanger component is made by forming a wafer having a pair of opposed outer major faces with interstices between them from a stack of wire mesh screens. The outer major surfaces of the wafer are sealed by depositing a metal coating on them. The deposited metal coatings define between them a flow path for a heat exchange fluid extending through the interstices of the wafer.
