  • Patent number: 9151539
    Abstract: A liquid-to-air heat exchanger includes an air inlet header, an air outlet header, and a core. The air inlet header has an air inlet connection and the air outlet header has an air outlet connection. The core is connected to the air inlet header and the air outlet header. The core is angled relative to the air inlet connection and the air outlet connection. The air inlet connection and air outlet connection do not align in a straight flow path. The core is disposed at an acute angle relative to one of the air inlet connection and the air outlet connection and is disposed at an obtuse angle relative to the other of the air inlet connection and the air outlet connection.

  • Publication number: 20150135507
    Abstract: A leakage shield for an air to liquid heat exchanger includes a drain pan, a liquid header panel, and a closure bar. The drain pan has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The liquid header panel has a lower end attached to the first side of the drain pan, and extends vertically upwards from the first side of the drain pan. The closure bar panel has a lower end attached to the second side of the drain pan, and extends vertically upwards from the second side of the drain pan.

  • Patent number: 8601826
    Abstract: An air cooling system includes a heat exchanger, an inlet duct, an outlet duct, and an outlet header. The inlet duct is fluidly connected to the heat exchanger and is configured to direct relatively warm air from the cabin into the heat exchanger. The outlet duct is fluidly connected to the heat exchanger and configured to direct relatively cool air out of the heat exchanger and back to the cabin. The outlet header is located between the heat exchanger and the outlet duct. The outlet header has a shape configured to collect water from the cool air.

The air inlet header has an air inlet connection and the air outlet header has an air outlet connection. The core is connected to the air inlet header and the air outlet header and is angled relative to the air inlet connection and the air outlet connection. More particularly, the air inlet connection and air outlet connection do not align in a straight flow path and the core is disposed at an acute angle relative to one of the air inlet connection and the air outlet connection and an obtuse angle relative to the other of the air inlet connection and the air outlet connection.
