Abstract

The heat radiator takes the form of an extruded member defining parallel fins on its bottom surface and having a flat top surface arranged to be cemented directly to the bottom surface of a transmission fluid pan in an automobile. A special cement having high thermal conductivity is used and the extruded member may be made in modular form so that the entire area of the bottom of the pan can be covered by forming a set of modular units.
