Abstract

There is disclosed a heat exchanger extending along a longitudinal axis, including a first conduit configured for circulating a first fluid; a second conduit configured for circulating a second fluid; and a heat transferring layer disposed between the first conduit and the second conduit. The heat transferring layer is monolithic with the second conduit. An abutting side of the heat transferring layer is in contact with the first conduit to define a surface contact interface therebetween. The abutting side is shaped to correspond to a shape of a surface of the first conduit in contact with the heat transferring layer. A thermal resistance defined between the second conduit and the heat transferring layer being less than that across the surface contact interface. The first conduit is in heat exchange relationship with the second conduit via the heat transferring layer.

Claims (14)

1. A heat exchanger extending along a longitudinal axis, comprising a first conduit configured for circulating a first fluid; a second conduit configured for circulating a second fluid; and a heat transferring layer disposed between the first conduit and the second conduit, the heat transferring layer being monolithic with the second conduit, an abutting side of the heat transferring layer in contact with the first conduit to define a surface contact interface therebetween, the abutting side shaped to correspond to a shape of a surface of the first conduit in contact with the heat transferring layer, a thermal resistance defined between the second conduit and the heat transferring layer being less than that across the surface contact interface between the heat transferring layer and the first conduit, the first conduit in heat exchange relationship with the second conduit via the heat transferring layer.

2. The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the second conduit is wrapped around the first conduit.

3. The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the heat transferring layer is a strip of material wrapped around the first conduit.

4. The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the heat transferring layer is made of copper.

5. The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the second conduit corresponds to a plurality of tubes longitudinally extending along the first conduit, each of the plurality of tubes being monolithic with the heat transferring layer.

6. The heat exchanger of claim 5 , further comprising a manifold in fluid flow communication with each of the plurality of tubes for distributing the second fluid in the plurality of tubes.

7. The heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the heat transferring layer is brazed to the second conduit.

8. A heat exchanger extending along a longitudinal axis, comprising a first conduit configured for circulating a first fluid; a second conduit configured for circulating a second fluid; and a heat transferring layer disposed between the first conduit and the second conduit, the heat transferring layer being monolithic with the second conduit, an abutting side of the heat transferring layer in contact with the first conduit to define a surface contact interface therebetween, the abutting side shaped to correspond to a shape of a surface of the first conduit in contact with the heat transferring layer, wherein an area of the surface contact interface is greater than a reference area, the reference area corresponding to an area of a reference surface contact interface between the second conduit and the first conduit if the second conduit were in direct contact with the first conduit without the heat transferring layer being present, the first conduit in heat exchange relationship with the second conduit via the heat transferring layer.

9. The heat exchanger of claim 8 , wherein the second conduit is wrapped around the first conduit.

10. The heat exchanger of claim 8 , wherein the heat transferring layer is a strip of material wrapped around the first conduit.

11. The heat exchanger of claim 8 , wherein the heat transferring layer is made of copper.

12. The heat exchanger of claim 8 , wherein the second conduit corresponds to a plurality of tubes longitudinally extending along the first conduit, each of the plurality of tubes monolithic with the heat transferring layer.

13. The heat exchanger of claim 12 , further comprising a manifold in fluid flow communication with each of the plurality of tubes for distributing the second fluid in the plurality of tubes.

14. The heat exchanger of claim 8 , wherein the heat transferring layer is brazed to the second conduit.
