Abstract

According to the embodiment shown, the novel body assembly, for use as a principal component for a fluid cooler, comprises a body of annular configuration formed from a pair of mirror-image halves which are fastened together to form a fluid-conducting channel therewithin. Each of the mating halves has a multiplicity of heat-radiating fins or ribs on the surface thereof which defines an outer surface of the body assembly. Additionally, the halves of the body have fins on their opposite surfaces and, on assembly together, these latter are interleaved, and define an undulating channel through which the fluid to be cooled is conducted.
