Patent number: 11313631Abstract: A composite server heat sink with a metal base having a thermal conductivity of at least 200W/mK. Plural fins extend from the metal base, each fin having an anisotropic thermal conductivity in a range of approximately 300 to 650 W/mK in a longitudinal direction of the fin and less than approximately 30 W/mK in a widthwise direction of the fin. Each fin includes graphite in an amount of approximately 45-70 wt. %, diamond in an amount of approximately 2.5 to 10 wt. % with the balance comprising a metal selected from one or more of copper and aluminum. To create the anisotropic thermal properties, the graphite is aligned along the longitudinal direction of the fin.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: HFC Industry LimitedInventors: Xiaohua Chen, Chi Ho Kwok, Chenmin Liu, Ai Xiang Sun, Lanyue Dou

Patent number: 11287190Abstract: A spiral heat exchanger includes a spiral unit, a case member, and a bracket. The spiral unit includes thin metal plates. The thin metal plates are spaced away from each other and spirally wound. The thin metal plates define flow paths. A portion or all of the flow paths are provided with a coolant flowing therein. The case member is attached to a vehicle and contains the spiral unit. The bracket is fixed to the case member and holds the spiral unit. The bracket includes a holding portion and a fixed portion. The holding portion holds a first end, a second end, or both of the spiral unit in an axial direction. The fixed portion is disposed between an outer peripheral surface of the spiral unit and an inner peripheral surface of the case member. The fixed portion is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the case member.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventor: Wataru Kato

Patent number: 11280550Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a first fluid manifold extending along a first fluid axis from a first fluid inlet to a first fluid outlet. The first fluid manifold includes a first fluid inlet header, a first fluid outlet header, and a nested helical core section. The first fluid inlet header is disposed to fork the first fluid inlet into a plurality of first fluid branches distributed circumferentially and radially about the first fluid axis. The first fluid outlet header is disposed to combine the plurality of first fluid branches into the first fluid outlet. The nested helical core section fluidly connects the first fluid inlet header to the first fluid outlet header via a plurality of nested helical tubes, and includes radially inner and outer groups of circumferentially distributed helical tubes.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Ahmet T. Becene, Gabriel Ruiz, Feng Feng, Michael Maynard, Michael Doe, Michele Hu, Ephraim Joseph

Patent number: 11137214Abstract: A manifold structure is formed using ultrasonic additive manufacturing and machining. The manifold structure includes a body having a base plate and a cover plate that define a flow passage therebetween, and a plurality of walls that segment the flow passage into a plurality of channels, wherein each of the walls has a height extending from the base plate to the cover plate and a non-linear length that is elongated relative to a width of the wall and extends in a direction normal to the height of the wall. The walls are wavy in shape to provide enhanced rigidity and stiffness during lamination over the channels.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Travis L. Mayberry, Justin D. Wenning
