POWER PLANT COOLING SYSTEM RADIATOR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B60K11/04 F01P3/18 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: radiator consists of a horizontally positioned cylinder body with nipples for inlet and outlet of heat medium(a) being cooled with heat exchanger package(s) arranged along the body longitudinal axis to form distribution manifold(s). Each package is composed of horizontally positioned heat exchanger elements. Heat exchanger elements of each package adjoin each other, are interconnected with horizontal welds and (due to presence of spacer projections) provide for formation of external horizontal conduits enabling axial motion of the coolant air being circulated by the blower fan. Each heat exchanger element is hollow inside composed of two walls with spacer projections shaped as Archimedean spiral in cross-section. On two sides they are interconnected with circular welds so that to provide for formation of a radial-and-heliform conduit for the heat medium being cooled inside the intracavity. The intracavities of all the heliciform heat exchanger elements of all the packages communicate with the distribution manifolds.

EFFECT: enhanced heat efficiency, operational reliability and space effectiveness of the radiator enabling simultaneous cooling of one, two or multiple immiscible process medium(a).
