Heat exchanger having first and second heat exchange units with different refrigerant flow resistances and refrigeration apparatus
To improve the heat exchange efficiency of a heat exchanger that includes an upstream heat exchange unit and a downstream heat exchange unit. When the heat exchanger functions as an evaporator, a gas outlet pipe is an upstream refrigerant outlet that is located adjacent to the other end of upstream flat pipes of the upstream heat exchange unit, and a gas outlet pipe is a downstream refrigerant outlet that is located adjacent to the other end of downstream flat pipes of the downstream heat exchange unit. First resistance to refrigerant flow in the upstream heat exchange unit and second resistance to refrigerant flow in the downstream heat exchange unit are adjusted in order that the degree of superheating of refrigerant at the downstream refrigerant outlet is smaller than the degree of superheating of refrigerant at the upstream refrigerant outlet.
Heat Exchanger
A heat exchanger which is used primarily in oil and gas operations to heat tanks of liquids, such as drilling mud, water, heavy oil or other such fluids from freezing or becoming too viscous to pump.
Nuclear facility with a fuel pool and an associated cooling module
A nuclear facility has a fuel pool containing a liquid and an associated cooling circuit for a circulating cooling agent. The cooling circuit contains a cooling module with a first heat exchanger which immerges into the liquid, a second heat exchanger which is located outside the fuel pool, and connecting lines between the first exchanger and the second heat exchanger. In order to provide for reliable cooling even if a filling level drops, the cooling module contains a lifting body and floats in the liquid such that its altitude varies with the filling level of the liquid in the fuel pool.
RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
A radiator assembly for a machine is provided. The radiator assembly includes an inlet tank adapted to receive a coolant. The radiator assembly includes a fluid line having a first end fluidly coupled to the inlet tank. The fluid line is adapted to allow passage of the coolant therethrough. The radiator assembly also includes an outlet tank fluidly coupled to a second end of the fluid line. The outlet tank is adapted to receive the coolant from the fluid line. The radiator assembly further includes a pressure compensating device fluidly coupled to at least one of the inlet tank and the outlet tank.
Integrated fan drive system for air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHE)
An air-cooled heat exchanger (ACHE) for cooling process fluids used in an industrial process. In one embodiment, the ACHE is configured as a forced-draft ACHE. A support structure supports the forced draft ACHE above grade. A tube bundle is supported by the structure and is configured to receive process fluids used in an industrial process. A plenum is connected to the support structure, positioned beneath the tube bundle and configured to direct air-flow through the tube bundle. A fan is supported by the support structure and positioned beneath the plenum. Rotation of the fan produces an air-flow that is directed through the tube bundle by the plenum. A fan drive system is supported by the support structure, positioned beneath the fan and comprises a permanent magnet motor comprising a motor casing, a stator and a rotatable shaft, the rotatable shaft being connected to the fan.
Method for manufacturing a curved heat exchanger using wedge shaped segments
A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger includes stacking a plurality of parting sheets, a plurality of lengthwise closure bars, and a plurality of widthwise closure bars to form a rectangular first heat exchanger section. The first heat exchanger section includes at least one widthwise passage extending between a pair of the widthwise closure bars and at least one lengthwise passage extending between a pair of the lengthwise closure bars. The method also includes brazing the rectangular first heat exchanger section together and cutting a first side and a second side of the rectangular first heat exchanger section to give the first heat exchanger section a tapered-trapezoid profile. The method further includes brazing an end of a second heat exchanger section to the first or second side of the first heat exchanger section.
Heat exchanger with barrier passages
A heat exchanger core consists of first and second fluid channels, each configured to direct flow of respective fluids through the heat exchanger core. Each first fluid channel includes first fluid flow assemblies having inner channels formed by inner channel walls that contain the first fluid, each inner channel surrounded by a barrier channel having a barrier channel wall that isolates the barrier channel from the second fluid. One or more barrier channel vanes support the inner channel within the barrier channel. Each barrier channel provides a void space between the inner channel wall and the barrier channel wall, thereby fluidly separating the first fluid from the second fluid. Each barrier channel can receive the first or second fluid in the event of a breach of the inner channel wall or the barrier channel wall, thereby preventing intra-fluid contamination.
Parallel-connected condensation device
The present invention provides a parallel-connected condensation device, comprising a front condensation unit, a rear condensation unit, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins. The front condensation unit is parallel to the rear condensation unit. The heat dissipation fins is inserted into the front condensation unit and the rear condensation unit. The front condensation unit and the rear condensation unit comprise a plurality of confluence chambers. The confluence chambers are connected with each other to form a plurality of flow channels.
FLUID COOLING SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH OUTLET GUIDE VANE
A fan module for a gas turbine engine is disclosed herein. The fan module includes a fan, a plurality of outlet guide vanes, and a fluid cooling system. The fan is adapted to rotate about a central axis to pass air at least in part aftward along the central axis and around an engine core of the gas turbine engine.
