HEAT EXCHANGER ASSEMBLY HAVING AT LEAST ONE MULTI-PASS HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEAT EXCHANGER ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to a heat exchanger assembly with at least one multi-pass heat exchanger, comprising a first distributor (1) with a first connection part (1a) for connecting to a fluid line (9), a second distributor (2) with a second connection part (2a) for connecting to a fluid line (9), and at least one first deflection distributor (4), as well as a plurality of tube lines (5) through which a fluid, in particular water, can flow, wherein the first distributor (1) and the second distributor (2) are arranged at one end (A) of the heat exchanger assembly, the deflection distributor (4) is arranged at the opposite end (B) and the tube lines (5) extend from the one end (A) to the opposite end (B), and wherein the first connection part (1a) is arranged at a lowest point (T) or at least near to the lowest point (T) of the first distributor (1) and the second connection piece (2a) is arranged at a lowest point (T) or at least near to the lowest point (T) of the second distributor (2). In order to allow for the heat exchanger assembly to be quickly filled with the fluid and quickly emptied, a third connection part (3) is arranged on the first distributor (1) and/or on the second distributor (2) at a highest point (H) or at least near to the highest point (H) of the respective distributor (1 or 2), and at least one ventilation opening (10) is provided at a highest point (T) or at least near to the highest point (T) of the deflection distributor (4) for pressure equalisation with the environment.
Reciprocating spray cleaning system for air-cooled heat exchangers
A frame-mounted mobile cleaning system permanently positionable above or below the tube bundles of an air-cooled heat exchanger (ACHE) and in fluid communication with an external source of pressurized cleaning fluid includes a mobile transverse spray head assembly formed from a plurality of separate interchangeable fluid compartments, each fluid compartment having an inlet for receiving the pressurized cleaning fluid and a fluid discharge wall having at least one nozzle aligned with the longitudinal axes of the finned heat exchange tubes below or above, or elongated slot nozzles that are transverse to the axes of the finned tubes and that are configured to discharge a predetermined pattern of pressurized cleaning fluid onto and between the surfaces of the fins of the heat exchange tubes as the assembly is moved from one end of the ACHE tube bundles to the other.
SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A PRESSURIZED LIQUID
A system for providing a pressurized liquid, having a reservoir for the liquid, which has a discharge and a feed, having a pump, having a first valve, having a separate filter chamber, having an inlet and at least one outlet, and a compressible, closed buffer body. The pump is between the discharge of the reservoir and the filter chamber and configured to increase pressure of the liquid within the filter chamber, the first valve between the feed of the reservoir and the filter chamber and configured to open in the direction of the reservoir upon attainment or exceedance of a minimum pressure of the liquid in the filter chamber. The buffer body is in the filter chamber such that it can be surrounded by liquid.
System for hydrogen detection in cooling towers
A method may include: drawing a slip stream sample from a cooling fluid stream, the cooling fluid stream being fluidically coupled to an outlet of a heat exchanger and an inlet of a cooling tower; introducing the slip stream sample into an expansion chamber; and measuring a concentration of hydrogen gas within a headspace of the expansion chamber.
CAP FOR A HEADER BOX
A cap (20) for a header box of a heat exchanger (1), in particular for a motor vehicle, in particular a radiator, is disclosed. This cap includes a head (21), a shank (22) comprising at least one mounting thread (23), this shank being between the head and a free end of the cap, a retaining lug (30), in particular elastically deformable, arranged to retain the cap in an opening (10) of the header box in an intermediate position of the cap, in which position the cap leaves a clear passage while being retained in the opening, this retaining lug being formed on the shank.
Heat exchanger device for EGR systems
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger device for EGR (“Exhaust Gas Recirculation”) systems, with a constructive solution which minimizes thermal fatigue when boiling occurs. The invention is characterized by a specific configuration of the inner space of the shell divided into a first exchange sub-space and a second degassing space communicated with one another, and wherein the inlet and outlet ports are located at the end where the cold baffle is located.
RECIPROCATING SPRAY CLEANING SYSTEM FOR AIR-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGERS
A frame-mounted mobile cleaning system permanently positionable above or below the tube bundles of an air-cooled heat exchanger (ACHE) and in fluid communication with an external source of pressurized cleaning fluid includes a mobile transverse spray head assembly formed from a plurality of separate interchangeable fluid compartments, each fluid compartment having an inlet for receiving the pressurized cleaning fluid and a fluid discharge wall having at least one, and preferably a plurality of spaced-apart individual spray nozzles that are aligned with the longitudinal axes of the finned heat exchange tubes below or above, or elongated slot nozzles that are transverse to the axes of the finned tubes and that are configured to discharge a predetermined pattern, e.g., an elongated pattern of pressurized cleaning fluid onto and between the surfaces of the fins of the heat exchange tubes as the assembly is moved from one end of the ACHE tube bundles to the other. The system is advantageously securely mounted on a support frame that is, in turn, mounted on a transport mechanism that includes wheels that move on retaining tracks secured to the side walls of the ACHE housing, where the tracks extend to a storage position that is displaced from the open air circulation region above the tube bundles when the cleaning operation has been completed.
COOLER
The present disclosure provides a technique related to a cooler including a main channel in which an object to be cooled is attached to an upper surface thereof, and a structure which prevents air bubbles from entering the main channel. A cooler for cooling an object may include: a main channel in which coolant flows, wherein the object is attached to an upper surface of the main channel; and a sub channel bypassing the main channel, wherein a ceiling of the sub channel is higher than a ceiling of the main channel at a branch point between the main channel and the sub channel. Air bubbles trapped in the coolant flow into the sub channel having a higher ceiling height, thus they do not enter the main channel.
Water-replenishing and gas-removing structure for water cooling device
A water-replenishing and gas-removing structure for water cooling device includes a flow-guiding main body having a water-receiving space as well as an inlet, an outlet, a first opening and a second opening, which are communicable with the water-receiving space. The first and the second valve member are located in the water-receiving space corresponding to the first and the second opening, respectively, for opening or closing them. The first and the second connecting member are connected at an end to the first and the second opening, respectively, and at another end to an external water-replenishing and an external gas-removing apparatus, respectively, via a pipe each. With these arrangements, cooling fluid can be replenished into and surplus gas can be removed from a water cooling device without the need of disassembling or reworking the water cooling device.
