A heat exchange spacer is for assembly with a heat exchange core. The heat exchange spacer has a unitary body including a first elongate portion and a second elongate portion. The first elongate portion and the second elongate portion define an angle therebetween.
Lift fixture for heat exchanger header
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.
Heat sink for plug-in card, plug-in card including heat sink, and associated manufacturing method
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a heat sink for a plug-in storage card and a plug-in storage card including the heat sink. The heat sink comprises a first part secured to a surface of the plug-in storage 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 storage 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.
HEAT EXCHANGER ASSEMBLY
A heat exchanger assembly has a frame including: a plurality of legs; first and second lower transversal members extending perpendicular to and interconnecting the legs; a plurality of upstanding members extending upwardly from respective ones of the legs, a lower end of each upstanding member being connected to a corresponding leg at a junction therebetween; an upper transversal member interconnecting upper ends of the upstanding members; and an upper frame assembly. The frame components are weldlessly connected to one another. First and second heat exchanger panels exchange heat with air pulled into the heat exchanger assembly and are disposed in a V-configuration. An upper end of each heat exchanger panel is connected to upper retaining members of the upper frame assembly. A fan pulls air into the enclosed space of the heat exchanger assembly via at least one of the heat exchanger panels.
Stacked-plate heat exchanger
A stacked-plate heat exchanger may include a plurality of stacked plates. The plurality of stacked plates may include a plurality of first stacked plates and a plurality of second stacked plates stacked alternately one on top of another. Pairs of adjacent stacked plates may each delimit one of a first cavity for the passage of a first fluid and a second cavity for the passage of a second fluid in an alternating manner. The heat exchanger may also include a support structure that may support the plurality of stacked plates in an edge region to stabilize the second cavity. The plurality of stacked plates may each include a first opening and at least two second openings arranged around the first opening. The heat exchanger may also include a plurality of webs arranged between the at least two second openings. The plurality of webs may define the support structure.
Heat exchanger
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.
HEAT EXCHANGER MODULE AND A HOUSING THEREFOR
A housing for configuring a compact heat exchanger module includes separate fluid flow conduits integrally formed on at least one wall thereof and connected to at least one inlet and at least one outlet of at least one heat exchanger disposed within the housing. The separate fluid flow conduits configures at least a part of the heat exchange circuit that facilitates passage of fluid cooled/heated by the at least one heat exchanger through at least one region to be cooled/heated to extract/reject heat there-from/thereto and return heated/cooled fluid back to the at least one heat exchanger for cooling/heating thereof.
STACKED-PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER
A stacked-plate heat exchanger may include a plurality of stacked plates. The plurality of stacked plates may include a plurality of first stacked plates and a plurality of second stacked plates stacked alternately one on top of another. Pairs of adjacent stacked plates may each delimit one of a first cavity for the passage of a first fluid and a second cavity for the passage of a second fluid in an alternating manner. The heat exchanger may also include a support structure that may support the plurality of stacked plates in an edge region to stabilize the second cavity. The plurality of stacked plates may each include a first opening and at least two second openings arranged around the first opening. The heat exchanger may also include a plurality of webs each arranged between two adjacent second openings. The plurality of webs may form the support structure.
Turbulator and Channel and Process Apparatus With a Turbulator
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).
AIR-COOLED CONDENSER SYSTEM
An air-cooled condenser system for steam condensing applications in a power plant Rankine cycle includes an air cooled condenser having a plurality of interconnected modular cooling cells. Each cell comprises a frame-supported fan, inlet steam headers, outlet condensate headers, and tube bundle assemblies having extending between the headers. The tube bundle assemblies may be arranged in a V-shaped tube structure. A plurality of deflection limiter beams are arranged coplanar with the tube bundles. Top ends of each deflection limiter beam are slideably inserted in an associated floating end cap affixed to an upper tubesheet which moves vertically relative to the beams via thermal expansion/contraction concomitantly with the tubes. The deflection limiter beams provides guided restraint system for expansion/contraction of the tube bundles which prevents out of plane tube bowing.
