A method for manufacturing a counter flow total heat exchanger is disclosed. The method for manufacturing a counter flow total heat exchanger, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: inserting, between a pair of rollers (210, 210a) having protrusions formed on the surface thereof, a first paper having a first width, so as to form same into a single face corrugated cardboard sheet (T) having flow paths (111c, 121c); attaching the corrugated cardboard sheet (T) to a middle region of a second paper having a second width that is wider than the first width; cutting, into a length corresponding to guide corrugated cardboards (111, 121), the second paper to which the corrugated cardboard sheet (T) is attached; and cutting the second paper by means of a liner (130) having triangular resin tube coupling surfaces (133) formed on both sides of the cut guide corrugated cardboards (111, 121).

Drawn polymer fibers have internal channels running, at least partially, through the length of the fibers. These fibers may be configured to for use as thermal isolators that can thermally isolate material at the central core of the fiber from the outside environment. In such instances, the channels may be used as insulating channels and/or a heating or cooling fluid can be pumped through the channels to maintain the temperature of the material at the inner core. As another application, the fibers may be used as recuperative, regenerative, parallel-flow, counter-flow, cross-flow or condenser/evaporator heat exchangers. In this case, the channels may be used to direct fluid flow. The fiber may allow for the exchange of heat between fluids in the channels.

A heat-transfer device and methods for forming the heat-transfer device are disclosed. The method includes forming a first green structure using digital light processing, the first green structure including a different porosity in at least two sections. The method also includes exposing the first green structure to heat to remove resin used during the digital light processing from the first green structure. The method further includes sintering the first green structure to form at least a portion of the heat-transfer device.

A temperature control body housing includes a monolithic housing middle portion penetrated by one or more than one fluid canal, each fluid canal being completely bounded on four sides by respective walls monolithically connected to outer walls of the housing middle portion; a first housing end cap and a second housing end cap between which the housing middle portion is disposed; wherein the first housing end cap has a first fluid port and either the first housing end cap or the second housing end cap has a second fluid port, and wherein the first fluid port and the second fluid port are fluidly connected to each other by means of the one or more fluid channels.

A flexible sealing tube is described that is adapted to be installed in and extend along a bore in the ground for use in a system for exchanging of energy with the ground. The flexible sealing tube has a first tube end to be installed at an inner part of said bore, and the flexible sealing tube is closed in the first tube end. The flexible sealing tube also has a first channel and a second channel extending in a longitudinal direction (L) of the flexible sealing tube, the first and second channels being in fluid connection with each other. The first and second channels are formed by the flexible sealing tube.

A heat transfer device includes a bag and a working fluid. The bag includes a first sheet and a second sheet with edges that are sealed together. The working fluid is enclosed in the bag. The working fluid changes a phase thereof between gas and liquid. The bag includes a vaporizing portion in which the liquid-phase working fluid is vaporized and a condensing portion in which the gas-phase working fluid is condensed. The bag includes a two-phase flow channel in which liquid-gas two-phase slug flow including the liquid-phase working fluid and the gas-phase working fluid occurs from the vaporizing portion to the condensing portion. The two-phase flow channel is provided in an internal space of the bag.

An energy storage device includes a plurality of plates, each having a first and second surface, with at least one of the surfaces having a plurality of grooves formed therein. The device further includes inlet and outlet plenums for providing or receiving a heat transfer medium to or from the grooves. At least one of the first surface and the second surface having the plurality of grooves formed therein of a first plate is disposed in direct contact with the other one of the at least first surface and second surface of an adjacent second plate. Heat from the transfer medium is transferred to the plates in a charging mode of operation or transferred from the plates to the transfer medium in a discharging mode of operation when the heat transfer medium is passed along the grooves.
