Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
In combination with a transformer having a core, a primary winding and a secondary winding, the improvement comprising one of said windings being formed from at least one tubular member formed in a plurality of first loops, said at least one tubular member defining a fluid passageway in said winding, and the other of said windings comprising a plurality of second loops, each of said second loops being consecutively interpositioned between loops of said one winding, each said loop of said other winding comprising a plurality of coils of a flat conductor having flat sides terminating at narrow ends, so that the conductor is aligned parallel to the axis of the coil and wherein each narrow axial end of coil of flat conductor lies adjacent a loop of said tubular member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
In combination with a transformer having a core, a primary winding and a secondary winding, the improvement comprising one of said windings being formed from at least one tubular member formed in a plurality of first loops, said at least one tubular member defining a fluid passageway in said winding, and the other of said windings comprising a plurality of second loops, each of said second loops being consecutively interpositioned between loops of said one winding, each said loop of said other winding comprising a plurality of coils of a flat conductor having flat sides terminating at narrow ends, so that the conductor is aligned parallel to the axis of the coil and wherein each narrow axial end of coil of flat conductor lies adjacent a loop of said tubular member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein both ends of said at least one tubular member extend outwardly from one end of said core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The invention as claimed in claim 1 and further comprising a fluid coupling means secured at each end of each said at least one tubular member for coupling said fluid passage to a fluid conduit means.
