Large scale field erected air cooled industrial steam condenser having 10 heat exchanger bundles per cell arranged in five pairs in a V-shape, each heat exchanger bundle having four primary heat exchangers and four secondary heat exchangers in which each secondary heat exchanger is paired with a single primary heat exchanger. Four primary condensers are arranged such that the tubes are horizontal, while the inlet steam manifolds at one end of the tubes are perpendicular to the primary condenser tubes, i.e., parallel to the transverse axis of the bundle. Steam enters the small inlet steam manifolds from below. Cross-sectional dimensions of the tubes are 200 mm wide with a cross-section height of less than 10 mm with fins that are 10 mm in height, arranged at 9 to 12 fins per inch.

A system for limiting access by flying animals to fans of an air-cooled condenser comprises a plurality of perimeter netting segments and interior netting segments. The fans are mounted on a framework and arranged in a matrix. Each fan comprises either (i) a perimeter fan positioned along any one of three or four outer edges of the matrix or (ii) an interior fan. Each perimeter netting segment is adapted to be positioned at least partly below a corresponding one of the perimeter fans. Each interior netting segment is adapted to be positioned at least partly below a corresponding one of the interior fans. Each perimeter netting segment has a first edge adapted to be affixed to the framework and a second edge affixed to a corresponding interior netting segment. At least a portion of each perimeter netting segment is angled inward and downward toward its corresponding interior netting segment.

An apparatus for cooling a computer system includes a primary cooling loop. The primary cooling loop includes an evaporator configured to cool at least a component of the computer system, an ambient cooled condenser connected to the evaporator, a first pump to provide a coolant flow within the cooling loop, a pressure regulator configured to maintain a selected pressure in the primary cooling loop, and a controller responsive to changes in outdoor ambient conditions and an amount of heat dissipated by the computer system and configured to dynamically adjust the pump and pressure regulator in response thereto.

A deflector for a condenser. The condenser has an inlet in communication with a compressor, and a deflector for guiding a refrigerant gas flow from the compressor is arranged in the condenser and at a position close to the inlet. The deflector is provided with a deflecting structure projecting toward the inlet, and the deflecting structure is configured as impermeable to the refrigerant gas flow.

Apparatus for staged startup of air-cooled low charged packaged ammonia refrigeration system includes motorized valves on condenser coil inlets, a main compressor discharge motorized valve, a bypass pressure regulator valve in the main compressor piping, check valves on the condenser outlets and speed control of the condenser fans. The condenser inlet motorized valves provide precise control of gas feed to the condensers, so pressure can build without collapsing the oil pressure. The condenser coil outlet contains inline check valves to prevent liquid backflow when a coil is isolated. The compressor discharge line contains a single motorized valve for regulating discharge pressure at start-up. The motorized valve in the compressor discharge piping also includes a bypass with a mechanical pressure regulator to allow precise regulation at the minimum discharge pressure. Once discharge pressure rises above the minimum setpoint, the condenser inlet solenoid coils will open one at a time. The discharge pressure regulating motorized valve will simultaneously regulate the discharge pressure until the condenser coil has warmed up enough to maintain discharge pressure.

The present embodiment comprises: a case having a suction body having an air intake opening formed therein and a discharge body having an air discharge opening formed therein; an evaporator which is arranged inside the case, and which has an evaporating fin coupled to an evaporating tube; a condenser arranged inside the case and spaced from the evaporator; a fan configured such that air is made to flow to the evaporator and then to the condenser; at least one heat pipe comprising heat pipe assemblies positioned in front of and behind the evaporator in the air flow direction, respectively, each heat pipe assembly comprising a heat-absorbing pipe portion preceding the evaporator in the air flow direction, a heat-radiating pipe portion positioned between the evaporator and the condenser in the air flow direction, and a connecting pipe portion that connects the heat-absorbing pipe portion and the heat-radiating pipe portion; and at least one heat-conducting fin having a heat pipe coupling hole formed therein to be coupled to at least one selected from the heat-absorbing pipe portion and the heat-radiating pipe portion. The present embodiment has the following advantageous effects: the heat-conducting fin improves the heat transfer capability of the heat pipe such that the decrease in the amount of power consumed by the heat pipe can be increased; and the shared use of the evaporator having an evaporating fin coupled to an evaporating tube can minimize the costs for the entire facility for manufacturing each of a dehumidifier model having a heat pipe assembly and an evaporator installed together and a dehumidifier model having no heat pipe assembly.
