The invention relates to an evaporator. The evaporator may include a drum. The drum may have a first portion and a second portion. The drum may include a product inlet positioned at the first portion of the drum, a product outlet positioned at the second portion of the drum, a vapor outlet, and an agitator. The evaporator may have a heating jacket and/or a product supply pipe. The heating jacket may be configured to surround the drum and/or to heat the product in the drum. The product supply pipe may be positioned outside the drum and/or may extend from the second portion of the drum to the product inlet positioned at the first portion of the drum. The product supply pipe may be in direct contact with the heating jacket.

Disclosed is a heat exchanger for a thermal management system of an aircraft assembly, the heat exchanger including: a core including a first side with a first core inlet, a second side opposing the first side and includes a first core outlet, the first core inlet is in fluid communication with the first core outlet, a third side having a second core inlet and a fourth side opposing the third side and includes a second core outlet, the second core inlet is in fluid communication with the second core outlet, and a screen wrapped around the core, the screen covering the first core inlet and the first core outlet, and a plurality of rollers disposed between the core and the screen for movably securing the screen to the core, the rollers engaging the screen and movement of at least one of the rollers moves the screen about the core.

An adjustable rotor support with a carrier beam configured to receive a center shaft of a rotor, at least one support brace connected to the carrier beam, and an adjustment arrangement operably connected to the support brace(s). The adjustment arrangement is configured to generate movement of at least one of the support brace(s), movement of the support brace(s) generating movement of the carrier beam along an adjustment axis (A1) perpendicular to a center axis (A2) of the center shaft. The adjustment arrangement is configured to lock the support brace(s) in a position reached through the movement such that the position is maintained by the adjustment arrangement during operation of the rotor.

An absorption heat pump device includes a heat exchange unit through which a heat exchange fluid flows, a rotor that includes a hollow rotary shaft member including a first internal flow path and discharges a solution in the first internal flow path by a centrifugal force, and an application member that moves with rotation of the rotor to apply the solution, which flows through the first internal flow path and is discharged, along a heat transfer surface of the heat exchange unit.

A body of heat transfer fluid circulates in a first loop through an indirect screw-type thermal processor, a rundown tank, a pump, a heater and a fill tank, continuously heating the processor. With the pump operating, a first vertical distance between the fill tank bottom and the processor under the influence of gravity sets a minimum fluid pressure at the processor; a stem pipe opening in the fill tank at a second vertical distance above the processor sets a maximum pressure. With the pump inactive, the entire body of fluid passively drains to the rundown tank. Supplying the fluid may entail melting a salt, hydrating a salt, or both; such may be done in the rundown tank before circulation through the processor begins. A hydrated salt may be circulated, then heated and dehydrated, to gradually warm the processor. A dehydrated salt may be rehydrated and then stored; this may be done in the rundown tank after ceasing circulation through the processor. Also described: misting hydration and variable-speed-pump pressure regulation.

There is provided a heat exchanger adapted to exchange heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger comprises an outer tubular body, an inner body, a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet and a second outlet. The outer tubular body has an inner surface. The inner body is arranged inside the outer tubular body and has an outer surface facing the inner surface of the outer tubular body, leaving free a gap between the inner surface of the outer tubular body and the outer surface of the inner body. The first inlet and the first outlet are arranged to provide a first flow path for the first fluid from the first inlet to the first outlet via a first channel and via a second channel. The second inlet and the second outlet are arranged to provide a second flow path from the second inlet to the second outlet for the second fluid in the gap between the inner surface of the outer tubular body and the outer surface of the inner body. The outer tubular body comprises the first channel. The inner body comprises the second channel. The inner body and the second channel are rotatable relative to the outer tubular body and the first channel.
