Heat exchanger for cooling a flow of compressed air using a liquid coolant

Abstract:

A heat exchanger for cooling a flow of compressed air using a liquid coolant includes a stack of coolant flow plates extending in a stacking direction. An enclosure surrounds the stack of coolant flow plates to at least partially define the flow path for the compressed air, and includes a first wall generally arranged in a plane parallel to the stacking direction, a second wall joined to the first wall and generally arranged in a second plane perpendicular to the stacking direction, a coolant port provided on an external surface of the first wall, an aperture provided on an internal surface of the second walls, and a coolant flow path extending through the interior of both the first wall and the second wall between the coolant port and the aperture.
