A receiver drier assembly for an automotive heat exchanger is provided with a single-piece cap. In embodiments described herein, a modulator has a tubular wall and one or more openings are formed therein. The cap is a single-piece cap and is configured to attach directly to the tubular wall via a snap fit. The cap may have a protrusion that is configured to snap into engagement with the opening in the modulator when properly assembled. The protrusion may be tapered such that as the cap is assembled to the modulator, the protrusion is forced radially inwardly via the tapered surface sliding along the tubular wall. Once the protrusion meets the opening, the protrusion is allowed to flex radially outward toward its natural unbiased position, snap fitting with the opening of the tubular wall.

A method for producing a closed cavity on a substrate, including: a) forming a cavity surrounded by at least one block on a given face of a substrate, the cavity having an aspect ratio higher than a determined threshold; and b) depositing a closing layer on the at least one block surrounding the cavity, the aspect ratio of the cavity being such that in b), the closing layer does not entirely fill the cavity and an empty space in the cavity is maintained.

An annular heat exchanger with a longitudinal axis for a turbomachine, intended for example to be supported by an annular shell of a casing of the turbomachine, includes a one-piece annular part having a first fluidic circuit having at least one first conduit and at least one second conduit extending annularly and a second fluidic circuit having at least one first conduit and at least one second conduit extending annularly and arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction on either side of the first conduit and second conduit of the first circuit.

A distribution pipe assembly (1) for a heat exchanger (100), a header assembly (20) having the distribution pipe assembly (1), and a heat exchanger (100). The distribution pipe assembly (1) includes a first distribution pipe, the first distribution pipe comprising: a main wall (10) extending in a first direction (D1) serving as an axial direction, and having a first side (11) in a second direction (D2) perpendicular to the first direction (D1), and a second side (12) in the second direction (D2) opposite the first side (11); and a protruding wall (3) protruding, in the second direction (D2), from the main wall (10). The distribution pipe assembly (1) and the heat exchanger (100) improve heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger (100).

A plate heat exchanger includes a stack of plate pairs with gaps between adjacent pairs, arranged to provide flow paths for a first fluid to pass through inner volumes of the plate pairs while simultaneously allowing a second fluid to flow over the outer surfaces of the plate pairs. At least one cylindrical fluid manifold for the first fluid extends through the plate pairs. A non-planar cap is arranged at one end of the plate heat exchanger to close off the cylindrical fluid manifold. A reinforcement plate is arranged at that end between the non-planar cap and an end plate of the plate heat exchanger. The position of the non-planar cap relative to a central axis of the cylindrical fluid manifold is maintained in order to prevent failure of the plate heat exchanger due to internal pressurization.

A submersible heat-exchanging apparatus for installation into storage tanks used for containing industrial oils. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical heat-exchange component with one end sealingly engaging a terminal plug and the other end sealingly engaging and communicating with a coupling manifold having opposed inflow and outflow ports. A flow-directing elongate insert is provided with one end configured to engage the coupling manifold interposed the inflow and outflow ports, and the other end provided with an aperture and configured for abutting the terminal plug. The flow-directing elongate insert slidingly contacts and cooperates with the inner walls of the heat-conductive conduit thereby partitioning the heat-conductive conduit into two opposed fluid transmission channels wherein one channel communicates with the inlet port and the other channel communicates with the outlet port. The coupling manifold sealingly engages an aperture provided in the storage tank whereby the heat-exchange component extends into the tank.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger for thermally treating a vehicle cabin. The heat exchanger includes a core portion made of at least a plurality of tubes and a plurality of fins. The heat exchanger includes at least one header tank located at one end of the core portion. The header tank includes at least a collecting plate which have a U-shape, a cover plate connected to the collecting plate and at least one cap plate which is located at one longitudinal end of the header tank. The collecting plate and the cover plate are linked together by an overlapping portion and the cap plate is maintained in position within the header tank by a tongue made in continuation of the overlapping portion.

A pulse loop heat exchanger, under vacuum, having a working fluid therein, comprising a heat exchanger body, a first continuity plate, and a second continuity plate is provided. The heat exchanger body, first continuity plate comprises a plurality of channels and grooves on different elevated plane levels, respectfully. The different elevated plane levels result in increased output pressure gain in downward working fluid flow portions of the grooves, boosting thermo-fluidic transport oscillation driving forces throughout the heat exchanger. In addition to providing for fluid transport and boosting oscillation driving forces, the third elevated continuity channel also provides an internal reservoir. The heat exchanger is formed by an aluminum extrusion and stamping process and comprises three main steps, a providing step, a closing and welding step, and an insertion, vacuuming and closing step.

The invention relates to a device, comprising at least one flow chamber (20′) having an inlet opening and an outlet opening, said flow chamber being provided for the flow of a medium therethrough. The flow chamber (20′) is arranged in a single-piece block element (2) and is at least partly delimited by a diathermal wall in order to effect absorption or release of thermal energy through the wall by means of the medium. The at least one flow chamber (20′) is formed in the block element (2) from a plurality of first channels (22) spaced apart from each other, which extend straight and parallel to each other, and a plurality of second channels (23) spaced apart from each other, which extend straight and parallel to each other, the first and the second channels (22, 23) each having two ends and being closed at least at one (27) of the two ends. The second channels (23) are arranged at an angle to the first channels (22), the first channels and the second channels thus crossing. Support pillars (21) having a parallelogram-shaped cross-section are present within each flow chamber (20′) between the crossing points of two adjacent first channels (22) and two adjacent second channels (23). A turbulent flow of the medium can be produced very effectively in the device according to the invention.
