    摘要: A flexible manifold adapted for use on a plate-fin heat exchanger core, the flexible manifold comprising a plurality of individual layers, each individual layer defining a lower floor, an upper floor, and two side walls. Each of the plurality of individual layers is adapted to channel a flow of a medium therethrough, each of the plurality of individual layers includes a plurality of vertical members, each of the plurality of vertical members extends vertically from the lower floor to the upper floor of the respective individual layer, and each of the plurality of vertical members is configured to provide structural support for the respective individual layer. The vertical members can be vertical guide vanes and/or vertical columns having a round and/or hydrofoil cross-sectional shape.

    摘要: A flexible manifold adapted for use on a plate-fin heat exchanger core, the flexible manifold including a plurality of individual layers configured to be metallurgically joined to respective ones of a plurality of layers of the plate-fin heat exchanger core, and further including a first end with at least one port adapted to receive or discharge a medium, a second end distal from the first end, adapted to transfer the medium to or from the plurality of individual layers, a plurality of horizontal guide vanes defining the plurality of individual layers, and a plurality vertical members positioned within each of the individual layers. The flexible manifold is configured to be mechanically and thermally compliant, and can be metallurgically joined to the heat exchanger core by brazing or welding.
