A WATER CHARGE AIR-COOLER

A heat exchanger (100) includes a housing (110) receiving heat exchange elements (120) and defining airflow passages, a first and a second waterbox (112) and (114) respectively. The first waterbox (112) is in fluid communication with an interior (111) of the housing via a first opening (112a). The second waterbox (114) is in fluid communication with the interior (111) of the housing (110) via a second opening (114a). The at least one panel (130) is aligned with at least one of the first opening (112a) and the second opening (114a) to limit flow there through. Each panel (130) includes apertures (132) and deflectors (134). The apertures (132) are adapted to uniformly distribute coolant flowing there through. The plurality of deflectors (134) are protruding from the apertures (132) towards the inner volume of the respective waterbox (112, 114) and are connected to the inner surface of the waterbox (112, 114).
