The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for the supply of oxygen or of a gas mixture containing at least 50% oxygen, the temperature at the outlet of the exchanger not being below 300° C., it preferably being above 400° C., the oxygen or the oxygen-rich gas feeding one or more burners of a glass melting furnace, the heat of the combustion gases being used directly or indirectly to heat the oxygen or the oxygen-rich gas in the exchanger, in which the exchange power is between 20 and 300 kW, preferably between 40 and 250 kW and particularly preferably between 80 and 170 kW.

An exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger assembly that includes a tube, a fin structure, and a clip. The tube has first and second walls extending between a first lateral end and a second lateral end. The fin structure is received in the tube to form a cooling tube assembly. The cooling tube assembly defines a first channel between the first lateral end and a first fin of the fin structure, a second channel between the second lateral end and a second fin of the fin structure disposed opposite the first fin, and a plurality of intermediate channels extending between the first and second channels. The clip is coupled to the cooling tube assembly. The clip has at least one flow impeding portion being configured to impede a fluid flow through at least one of the first channel, the second channel, and one or more of the intermediate channels.

A heat exchanger assembly includes a first heat exchange fluid conduit and at least one fin. The first heat exchange fluid conduit defines a passageway therethrough and is configured to receive a flow of a first heat exchange fluid. At least one fin is disposed to receive a flow of a second heat exchange fluid. The fin(s) is/are coupled to the heat exchange fluid conduit at an interface that is configured to reduce accumulation of debris entrained in the second heat exchange fluid.

A scale suppression apparatus capable of suppressing in a low-priced manner the generation of silica-based scale and calcium-based scale in the influent water containing at least a silica component and a calcium component, a geothermal power generation system using the same, and a scale suppression method are provided. The scale suppression apparatus includes a chelating agent and alkaline agent addition unit injecting liquid containing a chelating agent and an alkaline agent into a pipe arrangement through which influent water such as geothermal water or the like flows, and a controller controlling a pump and a valve of the chelating agent and alkaline agent addition unit. The controller controls the injection of the chelating agent and the alkaline agent and stops of the injection based on the signal output from a scale detection unit for detecting a precipitation state of the scale.

An antifreeze member includes a metal substrate, and a first coating layer including a recombinant antifreeze protein in which a metal-binding protein is conjugated to a performance-enhancing reformed antifreeze protein, and being bonded to the metal substrate via the metal-binding protein.

A heat exchanger has an intake header, a discharge header, a bundle of tubes extending in parallel between the intake header and the discharge header, an intake pipe connected to the intake header and extending transversely to the axes of the tubes of the bundle, the intake pipe having a first end opening into the header and a second end connectable to a process fluid supply pipe, and a baffle assembly for modifying the direction and rate of flow of the process fluid through the intake header, the baffle assembly being located within the intake pipe and secured to the intake pipe at a position adjacent the second end of the intake pipe. The baffle assembly comprises a plurality of slats lying in planes generally parallel to one another and inclined to the direction of fluid flow, and runners connected to the ends thereof to form a rigid structure.

Two or more cores (2a, 2b) in each of which two more types of passage layers through which two or more fluids flow are layered alternately are welded together. The entire bottom portions of the cores (2a, 2b) are covered with a lower header tank (3), thereby making the fluids flow into the cores (2a, 2b). A dummy layer (14) through which none of the fluids flow is provided beside a weld side face of each core (2a, 2b). A weld spacer (18) is welded to the entire peripheral edge of a side plate (16) of the dummy layer (14). A through-hole (16a) for draining water in the dummy layer (14) is made near the lower end of the side plate of the dummy layer (14). Further, a liquid drain hole (20) through which water is drained is made at a lower corner of the weld spacer (18).

A precooler for an aircraft engine system includes a precooler core and a precooler inlet to direct a compressor bleed flow into the precooler core to cool the compressor bleed flow. The precooler further includes a precooler outlet to direct the compressor bleed flow from the precooler to a selected component of the aircraft engine system and a precooler bleed port through which a portion of the compressor bleed flow is diverted to a secondary component of the aircraft engine system. The precooler bleed port is oriented such that flow entering the precooler bleed port must substantially reverse direction from a direction of the compressor bleed flow through the precooler.
