Abstract

A heat transfer ring that is readily usable in any application requiring heat transfer from a heat source to a medium coming in contact with the ring. The ring may also be used in a reverse application where it is used to cool the medium coming into contact with it. The ring is a cast body consisting of a plurality of integrally connected circular rings to which a series of tapered prongs are attached so as to provide a large heat sink. The prongs are of a tapered conical shape and are specifically positioned with respect to each other thereby spanning a larger dimension of the medium being treated so as to effectively and efficiently transfer heat thereto or therefrom.
