An air outlet is located downstream of the heat exchanger assembly and configured for delivering the airflow. The heat exchanger assembly includes an evaporator having a back surface or side facing towards the air outlet and configured for being crossed by the cooled airflow. The system also includes a droplet separator located downstream of and in proximity to the back surface or side. The droplet separator is configured for deviating droplets of water vapor condensed on the back surface or side, so as to prevent the down flow of the droplets of water vapor towards the air outlet.

An air cooler assembly includes an air cooler having an air inlet manifold, an air outlet manifold, and a heat exchanger core connected at a first end thereof to the air inlet manifold and at a second end thereof to the air outlet manifold. A water separator includes a chamber having a first end and an opposed second end, an air inlet proximate the first end and connected to the air outlet manifold, and an air outlet proximate the second end. A water outlet is formed in a bottom surface of the chamber, and a channel is positioned beneath the water outlet. A condensate outlet is positioned on a bottom surface of the channel. A helical blade has a first end and a second end, and is positioned within the chamber between the air inlet and the air outlet.

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.

A heat exchanger of an electrically driven motor vehicle, which includes a tube/rib block having a multiplicity of tubes and having a multiplicity of ribs. The tubes being arranged essentially in parallel to each other and spaced a distance apart, and the ribs each being arranged between two adjacent tubes. The ribs touching the two adjacent tubes, at least one manifold being arranged on one of the sides of the tube/rib block for the purpose of supplying fluid to tubes of the tube/rib block and for removing fluid from tubes of the tube/rib block. A cover device is arranged downstream and/or upstream from the tube/rib block for controlling the air flow through the tube/rib block temporarily or in certain regions for the defined removal of water from the tube/rib block. A method for operating a heat exchanger is also provided.

A heat exchanger can be configured to utilize multiple sections of hardway fins that can be configured so that an upper first section of the fins can build up liquid head and a second lower section of the fins can be configured to distribute liquid in an even, or uniform, manner. The first section of fins can utilize a different type of hole arrangement than the second section of fins. For instance, the diameter or width of the holes in the first section may differ from the diameter or width of the holes of the second section. In addition (or as an alternative), fin frequency and/or spacing between immediately adjacent holes in the first section of fins may be different from the spacing between immediately adjacent holes in the second section of fins.
