13 Claims

1. A radiator for selectively heating and cooling comprising:

first and second spaced apart generally parallel headers, the first header for conducting a source fluid into the microchannel radiator and the second header for conducting a source fluid out of the radiator,

a series of generally parallel pairs of microchannel tubes fluidly connecting the first and second headers, wherein

a first spacing separating the microchannel tubes forming each of the pairs of microchannel tubes,

a second spacing separating adjacent pairs of microchannel tubes, and,

wherein the first spacings are narrower than the second spacings,

fins located in the first spacings for conductively connecting the microchannel tubes forming each of the pairs, and

a phase change material cell located in the second spacings,

wherein the cell contacts the pair of microchannel tubes bounding the cell.
