Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2124009A2] A heat exchanger (1) includes a thermally-conductive fluid barrier having first (18a) and second (18b) surfaces, at least one first type (10) of foam element placed in thermally-conductive contact with the first surface (18a) of the thermally-conductive fluid barrier and having a first coefficient of thermal expansion and at least one second type (14) of foam element placed in thermally-conductive contact with the second surface (18b) of the thermally-conductive fluid barrier and having a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The first coefficient of thermal expansion of the first type (10) of foam element and the second coefficient of thermal expansion of the second type (14) of foam element are different by at least a factor of three.
