WALL-MOUNTED RADIANT COOLING DEVICE
In the field of building and of cooling systems there is disclosed a wall-mounted radiant cooling device for rooms, including: at least two cooling tubes positioned on two different levels adapted for cooled water to flow through; a fixing unit of the cooling tubes to the outside of the walls of the rooms. Each cooling tube includes two shaped longitudinal fins, and the radiant cooling device further includes a channel, arranged parallel to and underneath the cooling tubes, adapted to collect the condensate that is generated through contact with the hot air present in the rooms provided with the cooling tubes. The longitudinal fins of the cooling tubes are adapted to cooperate with one another to convey the condensate into the channel.
Heat exchanger and refrigeration cycle apparatus
A heat exchanger according to an embodiment of the invention includes a fin extending in the gravity direction and heat transfer pipes installed so as to intersect the fin. The heat transfer pipes are arranged in the gravity direction. The fin has a water guiding area disposed above and below each of the heat transfer pipes, and a water drainage area disposed adjacent to a side of each of the heat transfer pipes. The water guiding area has water guiding structures for guiding water to the water drainage area. The water drainage area has water drainage structures for guiding water in the gravity direction.
Heat exchanger
A heat exchanger including a first header and a second header; flat tubes, each having two ends connected to the first header and the second header respectively; a fin arranged between adjacent flat tubes; an input-output pipe welded to at least one header of the first header and the second header; and a water guide member disposed to the input-output pipe and/or the at least one header.

HEAT EXCHANGER FIN SURFACE ENHANCEMENT
A heat exchanger includes a conduit configured to flow a refrigerant therethrough and a fin coupled to the conduit. The fin has a slot formed therethrough, in which the slot has a first portion and a second portion continuous with the first portion and disposed at an angle relative to the first portion.
Shape morphing fins for frost removal
A shape-morphing fin includes a fixed portion, a multistable portion, a coupling portion, and a vibration source. The multistable portion functions as a negative stiffness element. The multistable portion is selectively movable between a first position and a second position. The movement between first position and the second position is configured to remove the ice formation from the structure. The coupling portion couples the fixed portion to the multistable portion. The vibration source is configured to produce a resonant vibration to engage the movement of the multistable portion from the first position to the second position.
