The present invention addresses the problem of providing a sheet for heat exchange elements which has high gas-barrier properties, has high fungal resistance, and has water resistance such that the sheet can be used even under high-humidity conditions. The sheet for heat exchange elements has a multilayer structure comprising a porous base and a resin layer, and has a first surface and a second surface. The outermost layer of the sheet for heat exchange elements on the first-surface side is the resin layer. The resin layer comprises polyvinylpyrrolidone and/or a vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, and contains a fungicide.

This disclosure describes an improved heat transfer system for use in reaction vessels used in chemical and biological processes. In one embodiment, a heat transfer baffle comprising two sub-assemblies adjoined to one another is provided.

Thermally-conductive ceramic and ceramic composite components suitable for high temperature applications, systems having such components, and methods of manufacturing such components. The thermally-conductive components are formed by a displacive compensation of porosity (DCP) process and are suitable for use at operating temperatures above 600° C. without a significant reduction in thermal and mechanical properties.

A heat exchanger includes a first flow channel and a second flow channel that are alternately stacked in a stacking direction, each of the first flow channel and the second flow channel including: upstream parts disposed parallel to one another in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction and to a direction in which the flow channels extend; downstream parts disposed parallel to one another in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction and to a direction in which the flow channels extend; and branching/merging parts configured to branch the flow channels immediately upstream of the branching/merging parts into two divergent channels and merge the divergent channels adjacent to one another to form next flow channels, between the upstream parts and the downstream parts, wherein the branching/merging parts are provided in a plurality of stages between the upstream parts and the downstream parts.

A heat exchanger is provided with a unitary, single-piece structure that can be formed via 3D printing, for example. The heat exchanger includes a main body a plurality of plates stacked and integrally formed with the body. First fluid channels are defined by gaps in the material of the main body, and second fluid channels are defined by gaps in the material of the main body and are stacked with the first fluid channels in alternating fashion, separated by the plates. Each of the first fluid channels are fluidly coupled to two manifolds, and each of the second fluid channels are fluidly coupled to two more manifolds. One of the manifolds has a reduced interior volume to control and normalize fluid flow through the heat exchanger.
