Abstract
A rotary heat exchanger includes a hub configured to be rotatably driven by a shaft, a fan including a plurality of fan blades integrally coupled to the hub and extending radially outwardly therefrom, and a heat exchanger including a plurality of heat exchanger sections. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of cooling fins for receiving air from the fan. Each of the plurality of heat exchanger sections is located between two of the plurality of fan blades. The hub, the fan, and the heat exchanger are integrally formed as a single body by a three-dimensional printing process.
