Latest Patent Applications

Henrik Kockum has submitted a patent application for a heat exchanger plate module, a plate heat exchanger, and a process for the production of the plate heat exchanger. This innovative heat exchanger plate module consists of a pressed heat exchanger plate and a flat plate, which together form a heat exchanger comprising multiple modules. The design includes first and second longitudinal end portions, each equipped with a fluid port, and an intermediate heat exchange portion situated between these end portions. The plates feature a pressed corrugated pattern with alternating tops and bottoms in the thickness direction. This pattern incorporates a first fluid channel pattern that directs fluid flow into the fluid port and a second fluid channel pattern that bypasses the fluid port. In the intermediate heat exchange portion, a third fluid channel pattern fluidly connects with the first and/or second fluid channel pattern, featuring longitudinally extending wave-shaped pressed lines that create discrete longitudinally extending fluid channels when the pressed heat exchanger plate is affixed to the flat plate.

Conclusion

Henrik Kockum's work in heat exchanger technology demonstrates his commitment to innovation in the field. His latest patent application reflects a significant advancement in the design and functionality of heat exchangers.
