Abstract:
An embodiment of a heat exchanger according to the disclosure includes a core configured to receive and place a plurality of mediums in at least one heat exchange relationship, and a first manifold connected to and in fluid communication with the core at a first manifold/core interface. The first manifold includes a first end distal from the core with at least one port adapted to receive or discharge a first medium of the plurality of mediums, and a second end joined to the core at the first manifold/core interface adapted to transfer the first medium to or from a plurality of first heat exchange passages in the core. A plurality of first guide vanes in the manifold defining individual layers for the first medium, and a plurality of second guide vanes divide ones of the individual layers into a plurality of first discrete manifold flow passages extending at least part of a distance from the first end to the second end of the first manifold.

Claim (Index 1):
A heat exchanger comprising:\n a core configured to receive and place a plurality of mediums in at least one heat exchange relationship; and a first manifold connected to and in fluid communication with the core at a first manifold/core interface, the first manifold comprising:\n a first end distal from the core with at least one port adapted to receive or discharge a first medium of the plurality of mediums; \n a second end joined to the core at the first manifold/core interface adapted to transfer the first medium to or from a plurality of first heat exchange passages in the core; \n a plurality of first guide vanes defining individual layers for the first medium; and \n a plurality of second guide vanes dividing ones of the individual layers into a plurality of first discrete manifold flow passages extending at least part of a distance from the first end to the second end of the first manifold; \n wherein the plurality of first guide vanes are cantilevered from the first end of the first manifold and elastically deformable in response to flow of at least one medium through the plurality of individual layers.
