Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a housing. A first cooling block is defined within the housing. The first cooling block includes a coolant inlet, a refrigerant inlet, and a first gyroid structure that defines a first set of coolant channels and a first set of refrigerant channels. A second cooling block is defined within the housing. The second cooling block includes a coolant outlet, a refrigerant outlet, and a second gyroid structure that defines a second set of coolant channels and a second set of refrigerant channels. A perforated barrier plate is interposed between the first cooling block and the second cooling block. The first set of coolant channels is in fluid communication with the second set of coolant channels via perforations in the barrier plate. The first set of refrigerant channels is in fluid communication with the second set of refrigerant channels via perforations in the barrier plate.
