Abstract:
1. A heat exchanger, comprising: a first heat exchanger module including: a first evaporator channel and a first condenser channel wherein the first evaporator channel and the first condenser channel are arranged in a first conduit and wherein the first evaporator channel and the first condenser channel are fluidly connected to one another by a first upper distribution manifold and a first lower distribution manifold such that the first evaporator channel and the first condenser channel form a first loop for a working fluid; a first evaporator heat transfer element for transferring heat into the first evaporator channel; and a first condenser heat transfer element for transferring heat out of the first condenser channel; and a second heat exchanger module coupled to the first heat exchanger module by a fluid connection element for an exchange of the working fluid between the first heat exchanger module and second heat exchanger module, the second heat exchanger module including: a second evaporator channel and a second condenser channel, wherein the second evaporator channel and the second condenser channel are arranged in a second conduit and the second evaporator channel and the second condenser channel are fluidly connected to one another by a second upper distribution manifold and a second lower distribution manifold such that the second evaporator channel and the second condenser channel form a second loop for the working fluid, the second condenser channel is arranged opposite to the first evaporator channel with respect to the first condenser channel when seen in a cross sectional plane to which the first condenser channel and the second condenser channel and the first evaporator channel are projected.
