A gasket retention system includes a gasket and a plate. The gasket includes a loop. The loop includes a gasket tab extending from the gasket, a pair of loop arms flanking the gasket tab and extending from the gasket, a loop webbing connecting the pair of loop arms, and a loop tab extending from the loop webbing toward the gasket tab. The plate includes a loop receiving seat. The loop receiving seat includes a gasket seat, a gasket tab slot to receive the gasket tab, a loop tab channel to receive the loop tab, a pair of loop arm channels to receive the pair of loop arms, and an edge for the loop webbing to bear upon.

Phased array antennas, such as a multi-function aperture, are limited in performance and reliability by traditional air-cooled thermal management systems. A fuel-cooled multi-function aperture passes engine fuel through heat exchangers that surround the multi-function aperture to provide better heat transfer than can be achieved through air cooling systems. The increased heat transfer and thermal management results in a multi-function aperture with improved performance and reliability.

Heat transfer devices and methods for enclosing a heat source and facilitating convective heat transfer from the heat source. A heat transfer device includes an outer wall having an outer surface exposed to an environment of the heat transfer device and defining an outer shape of the heat transfer device, and an inner wall defining a flow passage through the heat transfer device. The outer wall and the inner wall collectively define an internal volume that is configured to house the heat source. The flow passage includes an inlet configured to receive a fluid from the environment, and an outlet configured to exhaust the fluid from the flow passage that includes a core region extending between the inlet and the outlet and configured to deliver the fluid from the inlet to the outlet and allow heat to exchange between the fluid within the core region and the internal volume.

In some examples, a heat exchanger includes an outer shell defining an open cavity configured to receive heat exchanger core components. The heat exchanger core components may include a layer of hot passageway components configured to be separated from a layer of cold passageway components by a tube sheet. In some examples, the outer shell defines one or more alignment features on an inner wall of the open cavity, the one or more alignment features being configured to align the heat exchanger core components within the open cavity when inserted in the open cavity. The heat exchanger further comprises a cover configured to be attached to the outer shell via one or more braze joints to enclose the core components within the open cavity of the outer shell.

A fixture for lifting a heat exchanger header includes a first leg including a first receiver slot and a second leg including a second receiver slot and a first load arm pivotally attached to an upper portion of the first leg and a second load arm pivotally attached to an upper portion of the second leg. In use, the upper end portions of the first and second load arms are engaged by a lifting device. A first scissor arm is pivotally attached to the second leg and slidingly attached to the first leg by the first receiver slot. A second scissor arm is pivotally attached to the first leg and slidingly attached to the second leg by the second receiver slot. First and second connection plates are secured to the lower portions of the first and second legs and are connected to the tubing aperture of the heat exchanger header.

A heat sink includes a heat sink body having a plurality of stacked fins and a mounting base. The mounting base has a first heat dissipation plate and a second heat dissipation plate. A first surface of the first heat dissipation plate is connected to a bottom of the heat sink body. The second heat dissipation plate is mounted on a second surface of the first heat dissipation plate opposite to the first surface.

A heat sink includes a heat sink body having a plurality of stacked fins and a mounting base including a heat dissipation plate. A first surface of the heat dissipation plate is connected to a lower portion of the heat sink body. A protrusion protruding away from the heat sink body is disposed on a portion of a second surface of the heat dissipation plate opposite to the first surface. The protrusion is formed by stamping or bending the heat dissipation plate away from the heat sink body from the first surface of the heat dissipation plate.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a heat sink for a plug-in card and a plug-in card including the heat sink. The heat sink comprises a first part secured to a surface of the plug-in card and a second part coupled to the first part and being movable relative to the first part in a first direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the surface of the plug-in card. In this way, when the second part and the first part have a larger overlap in the first direction, the heat sink has a smaller first height and when the second part and the first part have a smaller overlap in the first direction, the heat sink has a greater second height.

The invention relates to a turbulator (1, 10) for a channel (21, 23, 31, 42) of a process apparatus (30, 41, 44), in particular a heat exchanger, reactor or mixer, with a plurality of ribs (3, 14, 15), wherein at least one row (12, 13) of ribs (3, 14, 15), which define a common rib plane, is arranged, preferably uniformly, distributed and is, preferably uniformly, spaced apart from one another via gaps (4, 18, 19) in the longitudinal extension of the turbulator (1, 10). In order that the dead volumes and therefore the average residence times can be reduced by proportions that are not utilised or are utilised less efficiently for the process in order to keep the respective process medium in a defined and preferred operational state as far as possible over the entire residence time, it is provided that on at least one longitudinal end of the turbulator (1, 10) a hook element (6, 20) is provided for positively hooking a tool (7) to remove the turbulator (1, 10) from the channel (21, 23, 31, 42).

An end tab for a heat exchanger frame includes a plate, an end, an expansion portion, and a bent portion. The plate has a first width, and the end has a second width larger than the first width. The expansion portion increases the width from the first width to the second width. The bent portion connects the plate and the end and includes at least one window.
