  • Publication number: 20240090119
    Abstract: A cooler assembly, comprising: a heat exchanger with a heat exchanger surface having a dielectric layer of dielectric material physically coupled thereto, wherein a single or plurality of layers of another material are coupled to an exposed surface of the dielectric layer; and at least one component coupled to the heat exchanger such that the at least one component is electrically isolated from the heat exchanger surface by the dielectric material, wherein the heat exchanger surface is electrically isolated with respect to the at least one component.

  • Patent number: 10852076
    Abstract: A heat exchanger capable of conforming to expansion/contraction due to external stresses as well as adjusting/adapting to surface imperfections at the interface of the heat exchanger with additional components is disclosed. The heat exchanger is made up of various heat exchanger elements where the elements are interconnected in such a manner that they can shift relative to one another along and/or about different axes while maintaining fluid flow through the heat exchanger. Each element has a fluid inlet, fluid outlet and a flow passage extending therebetween, the elements being arranged such that the outlet of one element is fluidly connected to the inlet of the adjacent element. The individual elements are also physically interconnected to allow for longitudinal and/or lateral shifting in response to external expansion/contraction forces while maintaining fluid flow through the entire heat exchanger, as well as to tilting about each of these axes.
