Abstract
A fluid heat exchanger can define a plurality of microchannels each having a first end and an opposite end and extending substantially parallel with each other microchannel. Each microchannel can define a continuous channel flow path between its respective first end and opposite end. A fluid inlet opening for the plurality of microchannels can be positioned between the microchannel first and opposite ends, a first fluid outlet opening from the plurality of microchannels can be positioned adjacent each of the microchannel first ends, and an opposite fluid outlet opening from the plurality of microchannels can be positioned adjacent each of the microchannel opposite ends such that a flow of heat transfer fluid passing into the plurality of microchannels flows along the full length of each of the plurality of microchannels outwardly from the fluid inlet opening. Related methods are disclosed.
