  • Publication number: 20130213619
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heat exchanger for transferring heat between a first working fluid and a second working fluid. The heat exchanger can include a corrugated fin positionable along a flow path of the first working fluid between adjacent tube walls and being operable to increase heat transfer between the first working fluid and the second working fluid. The fin can include a leg defined between adjacent folds. The heat exchanger can also include a plurality of convolutions extending inwardly from a distal end of the leg and terminating at different distances from the end.

  • Publication number: 20130081794
    Abstract: A layered core heat exchanger is provided, and includes first and second fluid flow passages defined by heat exchanger plates stacked one above the other. Fluids passing through the first and second fluid flow passages are in thermal communication with each other through the plates, in order to provide for the exchange of heat between the fluids. A third fluid flow passage is provided adjacent one of the flow paths, and has a lower fluid capacity than the first and second flow passages.

  • Publication number: 20130074814
    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation cooler that includes an inlet tank, an outlet tank, and an exhaust gas flow conduit in fluid communication with the inlet tank and the outlet tank. The exhaust gas flow conduit includes a first end, a second end, a first narrow side, a second narrow side, a first channel adjacent the first narrow side and extending between the first end and the second end, a second channel adjacent the second narrow side and extending between the first end and the second end, and a plurality of third channels located between the first channel and the second channel and extending between the first end and the second end. At least one of the inlet tank and the outlet tank includes a wall that inhibits exhaust gas from flowing through the first channel while allowing exhaust gas flow through the plurality of third channels.
