Abstract:
A heat exchanger comprising:a first section including a plurality of spaced-apart fins defining channels therebetween, where the fins extend in a first direction;a second section including a plurality of spaced-apart fins defining channels therebetween, where the fins also extend in the first direction; anda third section positioned between the first and second sections and including a plurality of spaced-apart fins defining channels therebetween, where the fins of the center section extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, wherein a first end of the center section adjacent the first section and a second end of the center section adjacent the second section are angled and a side of the first section adjacent the first end of the center section is angled and a side of the second section adjacent the second end of the center section is angled so that the fins of the first section align with the fins of the center section and the fins of the second section align with the fins of the center section so that a cooling fluid flowing through the first section can make a substantial 90.degree. turn and enter the center section and the cooling fluid flowing through the center section can make a substantial 90.degree. turn and enter the second section.
