Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
An improved heat exchanger comprising: an enclosed, fluid tight flow chamber having an entry port and an exit port, and a first face and a second face, for passing a first fluid from said entry port through said fluid chamber to said exit port; a plurality of fluid tight convoluted passages extending from said first face to said second face, for providing a plurality of flow paths for a second fluid through said chamber containing said first fluid, such that said first and second fluids are maintained separate from each other; said flow chamber and said convoluted passages being formed as a unitized seamless shell.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
An improved heat exchanger comprising: an enclosed, fluid tight flow chamber having an entry port and an exit port, and a first face and a second face, for passing a first fluid from said entry port through said fluid chamber to said exit port; a plurality of fluid tight convoluted passages extending from said first face to said second face, for providing a plurality of flow paths for a second fluid through said chamber containing said first fluid, such that said first and second fluids are maintained separate from each other; said flow chamber and said convoluted passages being formed as a unitized seamless shell.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein said flow passages further comprise a uniform array of repeating reversibly angled flow passages.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first fluid or said second fluid are gases.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
191 words
A heat exchanger for transferring heat energy between three separate fluids comprising: first and second enclosed fluid tight flow chambers, each having an entry port, an exit port, a first face and a second face, said first flow chamber for passing a first fluid from said entry port of said first chamber, through said first chamber, to said exit port of said first chamber, said second flow chamber for passing a second fluid from said entry port of said second chamber, through said second chamber, to said exit port of said second chamber; a plurality of fluid tight convoluted passages in each of said first and second chambers extending from said first face to said second face, for providing a plurality of flow paths for a third fluid through said first and second chambers containing said first fluid and said second fluid, respectively, such that said first, second and third fluids are maintained separately from each other; and the first flow chamber and the convoluted passages therein being formed as a unitized seamless shell and the second flow chamber and the convoluted passages therein being formed as a unitized seamless shell.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
191 words
A heat exchanger for transferring heat energy between three separate fluids comprising: first and second enclosed fluid tight flow chambers, each having an entry port, an exit port, a first face and a second face, said first flow chamber for passing a first fluid from said entry port of said first chamber, through said first chamber, to said exit port of said first chamber, said second flow chamber for passing a second fluid from said entry port of said second chamber, through said second chamber, to said exit port of said second chamber; a plurality of fluid tight convoluted passages in each of said first and second chambers extending from said first face to said second face, for providing a plurality of flow paths for a third fluid through said first and second chambers containing said first fluid and said second fluid, respectively, such that said first, second and third fluids are maintained separately from each other; and the first flow chamber and the convoluted passages therein being formed as a unitized seamless shell and the second flow chamber and the convoluted passages therein being formed as a unitized seamless shell.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
The heat exchanger of claim 4, wherein said flow passages further comprise a uniform array of repeating reversibly angled flow passages.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The heat exchanger of claim 4, wherein at least one of said first fluid or said second fluid is a gas.
