A heat exchanger comprising a housing and a core body accommodated in the housing. The housing comprises a first body and a second body. The first body is a metal material. The second body is a plastic material. The first body and the second body are connected to each other so as to form a first cavity. The core body is accommodated in the first cavity. The core body is fixedly connected to the first body. The core body comprises multiple heat exchange tubes. A first fluid channel is formed between the heat exchange tubes. A second fluid channel is formed in the heat exchange tube. The heat exchanger further comprises a connecting block. The connecting block is fixed to the first body, and the connecting block is located outside the first cavity. The connecting block is provided with a first flow-through hole.

High heat flux furnace cooler comprise CuNi pipe coils cast inside pours of high purity (99%-Wt) copper. The depth of front copper cover over the pipe coils in the hot face to manufacture into the casting is derived from a projection of the thermal and stress conditions existing at the cooler's end-of-campaign-life. CFD and/or FEA analyses and modeling is used for a trial-and-error zeroing in of the optimum geometries to employ in the original casting of CuNi pipe coils in high purity copper casting. Individual pipe coil positions to cast inside a copper casting mold are secured with devices that will not melt, cause thermal shear stresses, or be the source of contaminations or copper defects. Pipe bonding to the casting results because the differential coefficient of expansions of the pipes' and the casting's copper alloys involved do not exceed the yield strength of the casting copper during operational thermal cycling.

An aluminum heat exchanger includes first and second plates with inner and outer surfaces, which are joined by brazing and define at least one fluid flow passage. The first and second plates each comprise a core layer of aluminum or an aluminum alloy having a melting temperature greater than an aluminum brazing temperature. The first plate also includes a first outer clad layer defining the outer surface of the first plate. The first outer clad layer is solderable to a metal layer of an object to be cooled and includes nickel or copper. A second outer clad layer is located between the first outer clad layer and the core layer and is roll bonded to at least the second outer clad layer. A manufacturing method includes brazing first and second plates, where the layers of the first plate are roll bonded and the first plate is optionally formed before brazing.

A vaporizer for vaporizing a liquefied gas includes a first heat exchanger block having first and second linear conduits extending therethrough, a second heat exchanger block having first and second linear conduits extending therethrough, one or more heaters located between the first and second heat exchanger blocks, and an inlet capacity control valve. The heat exchanger blocks may be fabricated by extruding aluminum. The heaters may be independently powered. At least a portion of the inlet capacity control valve may be located within one of the conduits.

A structure includes an aluminum base and an adhesive layer that is made of an adhesive resin adhering to a surface of the aluminum base. The adhesive layer includes a hard layer that abuts against an adhesive interface where the hard layer is adhered to the aluminum base, and a body layer that abuts against the hard layer. The hard layer is harder than the body layer.

A liquid to refrigerant heat exchanger includes an enclosed coolant volume that is at least partially defined by a plastic housing and by a metal closure plate. The metal closure plate can be part of a brazed assembly containing a continuous refrigerant flow path. The refrigerant flow path is disposed within the coolant volume, where heat can be transferred between the refrigerant within the refrigerant flow path and the liquid within the coolant volume. The plastic housing can at least partially surround the refrigerant flow path to at least partially bound a liquid flow path along a portion of the coolant volume. An inlet diffuser and an outlet diffuser can be mounted to the housing to direct the liquid through the housing. The plastic housing is sealingly joined to the closure plate along an outer periphery of the closure plate.

At least one of an evaporator, a condenser, a liquid pipe, and a vapor pipe includes a first outer metal layer, a second outer metal layer, and an inner metal layer including a porous body. The porous body includes a first bottomed hole formed in one face of the inner metal layer; a second bottomed hole formed in the other face of the inner metal layer; a pore, and a first convex portion provided inside the first bottomed hole. The first convex portion has a proximal end connected to a bottom face of the first bottomed hole and a distal end provided on an opposite side to the proximal end in a thickness direction of the first convex portion. The distal end is provided at a position further recessed toward the bottom face of the first bottomed hole than the one face of the inner metal layer.

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 lighting system includes two or more lighting fixtures, each comprising a housing, at least one light source mechanically supported by the housing, at least one pipe thermally coupled to the housing to carry a fluid coolant, an AC power port, and at least one network communications port.
