  • Heat transfer device having channels
    Patent number: 10605543
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat transfer device with channels for heat-absorbing media and channels for heat-emitting media, at least one of the channels having a textile structure with compressed and non-compressed regions. Whilst the compressed regions are disposed in the transition regions between the channels in order to improve the heat transfer to or across the channel wall, the non-compressed regions are disposed in the flow regions of the channels. This construction enables a large heat transfer to the heat transfer surface with simultaneously good heat conduction from the heat transfer surface to the separating surface. The invention likewise relates to heat exchangers with heat transfer devices of this type.
