Abstract
A heat transfer device for cooling a fluid has powered means for moving the fluid to create a primary fluid flow, a heat exchanger, and direction controlling surfaces for directing the primary fluid flow toward and through a first portion of the heat exchanger, thereby cooling the fluid flow. The direction controlling surfaces then split the primary fluid flow into a first and second subsidiary fluid flow, and direct the second subsidiary fluid flow through a second portion of the heat exchanger, thereby cooling it to a second temperature which is lower than the first temperature.
