COOLANT CLEANUP SYSTEMS WITH DIRECT MIXING AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
Cleanup systems include plural coolant inputs that are physically combined to create a single flow at a desired filtering temperature. Filter(s) are used to clean the coolant, and coolant flowing therethrough will damage the filter or not be adequately filtered if having temperature in excess of an operating temperature of the filter. The inputs have different temperatures, and mixing them creates a combined flow at a desired temperature. The amount of each flow is selected based on its individual temperature to achieve this desired temperature. The combined flow is then conditioned with the filter at an operable temperature and returned to the coolant origin for the inputs. No heat exchangers or heat loss to outside heat sinks are required. Cleanup systems may be used with any coolant loop, including Rankine-cycle electricity generation systems like nuclear power plants, combustion boilers, and steam generators, and heat transfer systems.
Combined convector
A convector for air cooling of a fluid flowing in a pipe, comprising: a path for a cooling air flow comprising an inlet from and an outlet towards the environment, a heat exchange section comprising at least one tube bundle defining a heat exchange surface, said section being provided in said path for the air flow, fan means producing said air flow along said path, so that said air flow externally invests said tube bundle on said; heat exchange surface, a humidifying section arranged in said path, upstream of said heat exchange section, where water is atomized to be invested by the air flow, characterized by comprising a wetting device for wetting directly with water a portion of the heat exchange surface of said tube bundle to further cool said portion of tube bundle.

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF EVAPORATIVE COOLING WATER MANAGEMENT
A system and method of managing water in an evaporative cooling system includes one or a combination of three components. A first component is to purify incoming water to the target quality. A second component is to purify condenser loop water to the target quality. The choice of the technology may depend on the site specific environmental conditions determining the quality of the recirculated condenser water and may include (but not limited to) filtration allowing for meeting target quality parameters, such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, etc. A third component is to provide protection for the condenser loop hardware, preventing or reducing rate of corrosion, fouling, and scaling by adding chemicals to water in the system. The choice of the chemistry will depend on the site specific environmental and other system operating conditions

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.
AIR CONDITIONER UNIT AND AIR CONDITIONER
This air conditioner unit comprises a heat exchanger, but does not comprise any device that forcibly passes air to the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger can be installed in a partition part that demarcates a target space from areas outside of the target space, and is configured such that an airflow in contact with the heat exchanger can pass through. The heat exchanger is configured so that a fluid can flow through the interior thereof. Due to a fluid having a temperature different from the outside air temperature flowing through the heat exchanger, the temperature of the airflow flowing from outside of the target space into the target space is changed, and the air inside the target space is conditioned by the airflow of which the temperature was changed.
Cooler station for connection of a liquid cooler
A cooler station comprising a liquid cooler, which has a first distributor box consisting of a hollow extruded section made of aluminium having outwardly open guide groove, and comprising a platform which can be pushed onto the liquid cooler and fixedly connected thereto by mechanical connecting elements which can be inserted into the guide grooves of the first distributor box. The cooler station comprises a set of platforms, wherein in each case one platform can be connected to the liquid cooler, and comprises the set of platforms which have the different hydraulic and/or electrical connections. The cooler station can be installed in a liquid cooler system which also comprises a blower, a liquid tank and a liquid filter. The liquid cooler, the blower, the liquid tank, and/or the liquid filter can each be selected from a set, such that a modular system is produced for providing from liquid cooler systems.

Cooled lubricant filter housing
A lubricant filter housing comprises a top plate defining a first opening. A base plate is positioned opposite the top plate. The lubricant filter housing further comprises at least one sidewall which cooperatively with the top plate and the base plate defines an internal volume. A plurality of plates are axially positioned in the internal volume between the top plate and the base plate. Each plate defines a plate opening axially aligned with the first opening which cooperatively with the first opening and a portion of the base plate, defines an internal cavity for housing a filter element. The plates define a first set of fluid channels structured to deliver a lubricant to the internal cavity, and a second set of fluid channels structured to provide a coolant around the first set of fluid channels.
