    摘要: This document describes inlet and outlet channels for a heat exchanger that provides a compact profile with consistent cooling performances among heat exchanger plates. For example, a manifold of a cooling system includes an inlet channel and an outlet channel designed to connect to multiple plates of a heat exchanger. The inlet and outlet channels include a junction portion, a connection portion, and a transfer portion. The junction portion includes opposing inclined contact surfaces that are inclined relative to a horizontal plane of the plates and mate with corresponding inclined contact surfaces of the plates. The connection portion accepts coolant hoses. The transfer portion is located between the junction portion and connection portions. The described channels of the manifold are especially useful for automotive applications that generally have tight assembly spaces.
