Patent ID: 7686071

Claim:
A blade-thru condenser comprising: (a) a condenser core comprising a plurality of substantially planar blades joined one on top of another along a longitudinal axis of said condenser core by joint interfaces formed between two adjacent blades; each of said blades comprising one or more condensation chambers formed monolithically therein, each chamber having a floor; said plurality of blades being so aligned that said floor of said one or more condensation chambers of each of said blades is disposed above said one or more condensation chambers of one of said blades immediate underneath, thereby forming one or more phase change columns in parallel to said longitudinal axis of said condenser core; said each chamber having one or more open apertures including a reed flap on said floor, permitting vapor and condensate to pass therethrough; said reed flap on each of said blades not in contact with said floor of said condensation chamber immediate underneath or above, and having an orientation substantially parallel to said floor; said floor separating spaces above and below said floor between adjacent chambers such that when a vapor flow passes through said one or more open apertures on said floor, a pressure difference between upper and lower sides of said floor causes said reed flap to vibrate; (b) an input interface; and (c) an output interface.
