Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2498373A] A heat exchanger for exchanging heat with a medium across a planar surface. The heat exchanger comprises a heat exchange panel 101 and a fluid circuit comprising a first chamber 104 disposed at a first end of the panel, a second chamber 105 disposed at a second end of the panel, and a plurality of passages 103 extending along the panel between the first and second chambers and is in thermal communication with the panel. A duct 107 extends between the first and second chambers, wherein a fluid 102 disposed within the circuit communicates through the passages from the first chamber to the second chamber, and the duct communicates the fluid from the second chamber to the first chamber. The passages extend within the panel. The duct is spaced from the panel thereby insulating the fluid in the passages from the fluid in the duct. The fluid may pass from the second chamber to the first chamber under gravity. One of the chambers may comprise a cooler for cooling the fluid. The heat exchanger functions as a heat pipe whereby the fluid evaporates in the passages and condenses in the second chamber and duct.
