The present disclosure provides a heat exchanger with improved efficiency. An additive manufactured heat exchanger includes a unitary housing defining an outer surface, a plurality of first fluid channels extending between a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet, and a plurality of second fluid channels extending between a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet. A cross-section of the outer surface defines an irregular shape, the plurality of first fluid channels and the plurality of second fluid channels define a circuitous flow matrix within the unitary housing, and the outer surface of the unitary housing is complementary to a space between at least two components of a vehicle. The unitary housing may also include a plurality of third fluid channels extending between a third fluid inlet and a third fluid outlet. 本公开提供了"效率提高的热交换器"。一种增材制造的热交换器包括整体式壳体，所述整体式壳体限定外表面、在第一流体入口与第一流体出口之间延伸的多个第一流体通道、和在第二流体入口与第二流体出口之间延伸的多个第二流体通道。所述外表面的横截面限定不规则形状，所述多个第一流体通道和所述多个第二流体通道在所述整体式壳体内限定迂回流动矩阵，并且所述整体式壳体的所述外表面与车辆的至少两个
