An air to air heat exchanger includes a first and a second cooling air flow passage extending over a core depth of the heat exchanger. A heated air flow passage is arranged between the cooling air flow passages, and extends over a first percentage of the core depth. Thermally conductive separators are arranged between the heated air flow passage and each of the cooling air flow passages. A first structurally reinforced section is provided between the separators, and extends from a cooling air inlet face in the core depth direction over a second percentage of the core depth. A second structurally reinforced section is provided between the separators, and extends from a cooling air outlet face in the core depth direction over a third percentage of the core depth. The sum of the first, second, and third percentages is greater than 100 percent.

Air to air heat exchanger

An improved combustion air charger, such as a turbocharger or a supercharger, includes a housing () having a rotary shaft () journalled therein. At least one compressor wheel () is located on the shaft (). The housing () includes an ambient inlet () as well as a compressed air outlet () and a heat exchanger () is located between at least one of the compressor wheels () and the outlet () and is arranged so that air flow through the heat exchanger () is generally in the radially inward direction.

Internally mounted radial flow intercooler for a combustion air changer

A compact rotary compressor unit within internal intercooling includes a rotary shaft () with at least one compressor wheel () mounted thereon for rotation therewith. The compressor wheel () has an inlet end () of relatively small diameter and a radial discharge end () of relatively large diameter. A nominally donut-shaped intercooling heat exchanger () is centered about the shaft () to receive compressed air from the compressor wheel and cool the same. Both the compressor wheel () and the heat exchanger () are confined in a housing ().
