Pedestal heater radiators, pedestal assemblies including the pedestal heater radiators and methods of decreasing deposition non-uniformity are described. The pedestal heater radiator has a first radiator body and a second radiator body with different emissivities. The first radiator body and second radiator body are sized and positioned to decrease the heat loss differential between sides of the pedestal.

This application discloses a material comprising an aluminum metal alloy cladding fusion-cast to a metal alloy core. Also disclosed is a material comprising a metal core comprising a high content of scrap metal and having two sides, a first aluminum metal cladding fusion cast to the first side of the core layer, and a second aluminum metal cladding fusion cast to the second side of the core layer. The materials can be in a form of a sheet. Sheets are roll bonded together to create permanent metallurgical bonds except at regions where a weld-stop ink is applied. The sheets are used to make corrosion resistant heat exchangers.

A combined heat exchanger is provided. The combined heat exchanger includes at least two heat exchanger cores, a first communicating member and a second communicating member. Each of the at least two heat exchanger cores includes at least a first collecting pipe, a second collecting pipe and multiple flat pipes. The flat pipes are vertically disposed between the first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe. Both ends of the first communicating member are in communication with the first collecting pipes of two adjacent heat exchanger cores, respectively; both ends of the second communicating member are in communication with the second collecting pipes of the two adjacent heat exchanger cores, respectively; and the two adjacent heat exchanger cores are disposed on different planes.

The heat exchanger includes: a plurality of fins disposed, spaced apart from each other; and a plurality of heat transfer tubes inserted in the plurality of fins. The plurality of heat transfer tubes have round profiles. The plurality of heat transfer tubes have outer circumferential surfaces in contact with the plurality of fins. The plurality of heat transfer tubes have outer diameters of 5.4 mm or less. The plurality of fins and the heat transfer tubes are disposed so that ratios of thicknesses of the plurality of fins to the outer diameters are 0.03 or greater.

Some embodiments relate to constructing a heat exchanger using nanoink as a thermal bond interface between portions of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may comprise fins and at least one base. A nanoink may be applied to at least a portion of the fins. The pieces of the heat exchanger may be sintered such that the nanoink melts and forms a bond between the pieces of the heat exchanger. Some embodiments include a second base. Some embodiments incorporate dissimilar materials within the heat exchanger construction.

In one aspect, the present invention relates to a furnace having a heated portion arranged adjacent to an unheated portion. A plurality of straight tubes are formed of a first material and are at least partially disposed in the heated portion. A plurality of return bends are operatively coupled to the plurality of straight tubes. The plurality of return bends are formed of a second material and are at least partially disposed in the unheated portion. The first material exhibits a maximum temperature greater than the second material thereby facilitating increased run time of the furnace. The second material exhibits wear-resistance properties greater than the first material thereby facilitating wear-resistance of the furnace.

A heat store comprises heat-storage bodies for storing thermal energy, a housing, in which the heat-storage bodies are accommodated; and at least one line for a heat-transfer fluid, in order to feed thermal energy to the heat-storage bodies and/or carry it away from the heat-storage bodies. Each of the heat-storage bodies comprises a metal rail of an elongated form, the cross-section of which has a web between widened ends.

A heat dissipation device includes: a heat spreader having a first plate and a second plate, wherein the plates are connected to form a receiving space therebetween; a first capillary material provided on the first plate, the second plate, or both; at least one heat pipe having a cavity in communication with the receiving space, wherein the heat pipe is connected to the heat spreader at one end and is outside the heat spreader and closed at the other end; a second capillary material provided on the inner wall of the heat pipe; at least one fiber bundle of an elongated shape, wherein the fiber bundle has a portion in the receiving space and in contact with the first capillary material and another portion extending into the cavity and in contact with the second capillary material; and a working fluid in the receiving space and the cavity.

In various embodiments, laser devices feature means, such as fasteners, for attaching a laser package to a cooling plate, which allow motion of the laser package in response to thermal cycles resulting from operation of a beam emitter therewithin. Embodiments of the invention additionally or instead include laser devices featuring segmented barrier layers for electrically isolating the laser package from the cooling plate.

A liquid-cooled-type cooling device includes a casing having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a cooling-liquid passage, and a radiating member disposed in the cooling-liquid passage. The radiating member has a substrate and a plurality of pin-shaped fins. Longitudinally intermediate portions of the pin-shaped fins are brazed to the substrate. The substrate has a plurality of fin insertion holes, and the pin-shaped fins are inserted into the fin insertion holes of the substrate. A plurality of convex portions are integrally formed on the longitudinally intermediate portion of each pin-shaped fin. The substrate and the pin-shaped fins are provisionally fixed together by plastically deforming the convex portions such that they are crushed. In this state, the substrate and the pin-shaped fins are brazed together. The upper and lower end portions of the pin-shaped fins are brazed to the top wall and bottom wall, respectively, of the casing.
