A heat exchanger with centric structure for waste heat recovery is disclosed. The heat exchanger (2) includes an annular heat exchange passage (10) with an array of heat exchange pipes located therein and a bypass passage (6) located concentrically within the heat exchange passage. A valve arrangement (40) is provided to switch the flow of exhaust gas between a duty mode and a bypass mode. The valve arrangement comprises a central chamber and a valve plug (96) that is axially movable between a duty position and a bypass position.

A heat and humidity exchanger comprises panels made up of membrane sheets attached on either side of a separator. Channels extend across each panel between the separator and the membrane sheets. The panels are much stiffer than the membrane sheets. Panels are stacked in a spaced apart relationship to provide an ERV core. Spacing between adjacent panels may be smaller than a thickness of the panels.

A thermal recovery device for recovering waste heat from a sink having a bottom plate, the bottom plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom plate being a thermal conductor, the thermal recovery device including: a tube including an inlet and an outlet, the tube thermally connected to the bottom surface, wherein thermal communication exists between the top surface and a fluid in the tube, a demand for the fluid causes the fluid to flow through the tube and heat transfer to the fluid which raises the temperature of the fluid prior to entering a heater and subsequently arriving at the top surface of the bottom plate of the sink from which the heat is transferred, reducing the heating load of the heater due to the demand of the fluid.

A condenser for a refrigerator according the present invention includes a heat exchange unit configured to receive at one side thereof refrigerant, which has been compressed in a compressor, to perform heat exchange between the refrigerant and air and to discharge the refrigerant, which has exchanged heat with the air, to an evaporator, wherein the heat exchange unit includes a flat tube, through one end of which the refrigerant is introduced and through a remaining end of which the refrigerant is discharged, thereby performing heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air, wherein the flat tube includes at least one bent tube portion defining plural rows of tubes, which are spaced apart from each other in an up-and-down direction, and wherein the plural rows of tubes define an intersection bent surface, which has a predetermined curvature and intersects the up-and-down direction.

Disclosed herein is a heat exchanger for the recovery of waste heat. The heat exchanger includes: a bottom plate configured such that an exhaust gas inlet is formed therethrough; a top plate configured such that an exhaust gas outlet is formed therethrough at a location opposite that of the exhaust gas inlet; a first side plate configured such that a plurality first side through holes is formed therethrough; a second side plate configured such that a plurality of second side through holes is formed therethrough at locations opposite those of the first side through holes; a third side plate and a fourth side plate configured to connect the first side plate and the second side plate; and a plurality of heat exchange tubes formed as titanium material tubes, and configured to connect parallel between the first side through holes and the second side through holes.

A heat and mass transfer system configured to be a passive system using gravitational force to form a thin liquid film flow on an outer surface of a flow distribution head and downstream conduit member to subject the thin liquid film to heat transfer mediums. The at least partially spherical flow distribution head creates a uniform thin flow of liquid on the outer surface increasing the efficiency of the heat and mass transfer system. The heat and mass transfer system may include a heat transfer medium supply system in fluid communication with internal aspects of the downstream conduit such that a heat transfer medium flows within the downstream conduit while the liquid film flows on the outer surface of the downstream conduit. Rather than conventional sheet flow on inner surfaces of a conduit, the flow distribution head enables sheet flow to be formed on an outside surface of a component.

A heat exchanger incorporates a metal hydride heat exchanger and mitigates the fluid mixing process, and thus greatly improves the heat transfer efficiency and heat recovery processes. The metal hydride heat exchanger has a container for the metal hydride that has a large aspect ratio. A plurality of high aspect container for the metal hydride may be coupled with a manifold.

A electronic device includes: a plurality of substrates each including a substrate main body and a heat generating element, the plurality of substrates being provided side by side in a plate thickness direction; a cooler which is provided between the substrates adjacent to each other, and configured to cool the heat generating element; and a piping which is made of metal, and is connected to the cooler. The piping includes: an inner piping portion which is arranged in an inter-substrate region, and is connected to the cooler; an inner piping extending portion provided so as to extend from the inner piping portion to an outer side of the inter-substrate region; and an outer piping portion which is arranged to be shifted from the inter-substrate region, and is connected to the inner piping extending portion. The outer piping portion includes a movable piping portion that is deformable.

An evaporator with a finned tube block with tubes and fins, wherein the tubes are arranged in rows and the fins are arranged between the tubes, with a first collection and distribution box and with a second collection and distribution box. Each of the two collection and distribution boxes has a bottom and a box lid. The respective bottom has openings for inserting the tube ends of the tubes of the finned tube block. The finned tube block is divided into evaporator flows to which groups of tubes of the finned tube block are assigned. The tubes of an evaporator flow each merge end-side into a box area of a collection and distribution box. The respective bottom of the collection and distribution boxes is designed with rim holes for inserting the tube ends in the openings.
