  • Vehicle thermal management system
    Patent number: 10932392
    Abstract: A heat transfer system includes a heat source, a first heat exchanger coupled to the heat source to remove heat from the heat source, and a second heat exchanger coupled to the first heat exchanger to remove heat from the first heat exchanger. The heat transfer system also includes a thermal doubler coupled to the second heat exchanger to remove heat from the second heat exchanger, a first heat pipe coupled to the thermal doubler to remove heat from the thermal doubler, and a second heat pipe coupled to the first heat pipe to remove heat from the first heat pipe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2021
    Assignee: Aavid Thermal Corp.
    Inventor: Nelson Gernert

  • Heat transfer apparatus and method
    Patent number: 9417017
    Abstract: A method is provided for heat transfer from a surface to a fluid. The method includes directing a first fluid flow towards the surface in a first direction and directing a second fluid flow towards the surface in a second direction. The first and second fluid flows cooperate to cool the surface.
