Abstract
The application relates to a heat exchanger apparatus comprising: a channel for fluid flow extending between an inlet and an outlet; a porous layer dividing a first portion of the channel from a second portion of the channel, wherein the porous layer comprises a plurality of pores configured to enable fluid to be transferred from the first portion of the channel to the second portion of the channel; a plurality of evaporator structures located within the second portion of the channel wherein the evaporator structures comprise a wicking layer configured to enable evaporation of fluid from the surface of the evaporator structures; an ejector section configured to combine fluid from the first portion of the channel with fluid from the second portion of the channel and provide the combined fluid to the outlet.
