Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Heat exchanger structures for conducting fluid are provided in the form of multiple spaced-apart polymeric tubes (12) embedded in foil laminate (14) which includes metal and at least one polymer. Useful polymers are polyolefins, polyesters and polyamides. The metal provides barrier protection making the structure suitable for refrigeration uses as well as providing an extended heat transfer surface between the tubes for when the elements are used for heat transfer, and the polymer on the foil permits it to be sealed closely around the tubes to improve heat transfer. The tubes are of a geometry which provides burst strength, so that the metal can be quite thin.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 27, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 27, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 27, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
