ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a compact heat exchanger having a permeable heat transfer element and an impervious heat transfer element. Fluid passes through the permeable element through passages which are substantially normal to the interface between the permeable and impervious elements. The fluid passes into channels which are provided at or near the interface between the permeable heat transfer element and the impervious element. Heat is transferred between the fluid and the permeable heat transfer element by convection as the fluid flows through the permeable element. Heat is transferred between the impervious element and the permeable element by conduction. The permeable element can be formed from one or more plates which bound one or more passages through which the fluid flows or can be formed from various porous material such as sintered powders, rods and metal foams.
