  • Patent number: 11609050
    Abstract: A tank for a heat exchanger is provided. The tank includes a foot portion, an internal wall, a sealing member and at least one first coupling member. The internal wall is formed along the foot portion at a first end of the foot portion. Further, the sealing member is disposed on the foot portion along an outer circumference of the internal wall to provide a fluid-tight sealing between the tank and a header, when the tank is placed on the header. The at least one first coupling member is provided on the foot portion, adjacent to the sealing member, to couple with the header.

  • Publication number: 20210408619
    Abstract: A heat exchange interface (100) includes a thermally conductive substrate (10), at least one blister of dielectric material (20) and an adhesive layer (30). The thermally conductive substrate (10) includes at least one of channel and tubes (12) configured on a first mating surface (14) thereof. The at least one blister of dielectric material (20) includes at least one mating surface (24) that is complimentary to and that mates with the first mating surface (14) of the thermally conductive substrate (10). The adhesive layer (30) is applied to the mating surface (14, 24) of either one of the thermally conductive substrate (10) and the at least one blister of dielectric material (20) after increasing surface tension thereof to configure connection between the mating surfaces (14,24) of the thermally conductive substrate (10) and the at least one blister of dielectric material (20).
