  • Patent number: 9157683
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a plurality of mini-channel tubes. The mini-channel tubes extends for an axial length defined between two manifolds. The mini-channel tubes include a plurality of generally rectangular flow passages. The generally rectangular flow passages are aligned adjacent to each other to define a lateral dimension. A first lateral width of the generally rectangular passages is defined with a ratio of the axial length to the first lateral width being between 201.3 and 215.3. An aircraft system is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140299303
    Abstract: A channel tube includes a body having first and second surfaces extending between first and second opposing ends to define a tube width. The first and second surfaces are separated from each other by a distance defining a tube height. A plurality of ports extend through the body and between the first and second surfaces to define a fluid path extending in a direction of the tube width. Each port defines a plurality of walls and a plurality of ribs having a thermal conductive surface to transfer heat therethrough. A first wall extends in a direction of the tube width. The second wall extends in a direction of the tube width and is disposed opposite the first wall. At least one rib is integrally formed between the first and second walls and extends perpendicular thereto.
