A vehicle system is provided. The system may include a first coolant loop, including a radiator, a second coolant loop including a battery chiller, and a centrifugal coolant separator. The centrifugal coolant separator may include a frustoconical hollow body having a base defining a drain and a ceiling defining a spout, and a pair of coolant lines arranged orthogonal to and on opposite sides of the body such that coolant exiting the lines travels along the inner surface and collects at the base to separate gas from the coolant, wherein the spout vents the gas and the coolant exits the drain.

A heat exchange assembly includes an upper cover panel, a lower cover panel, a plurality of stacked plate assemblies, and a plurality of fins interposed between the plurality of plate assemblies. Each of the plurality of plate assemblies forms a flow passage for receiving a coolant. A continuous flow path extends through the heat exchange assembly. The flow path is in fluid communication with the flow passage of each of the plates and configured to convey air from each of the flow passages to an environment separate from the heat exchanger.

An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of processors, a manifold that collects refrigerant liquid discharged from the plurality of processors, a first pipe that is coupled to the manifold and discharges the refrigerant liquid collected in the manifold, a throttle portion that is disposed in the first pipe and forms a throttle hole penetrating in an axis direction of the first pipe inside the first pipe, and a narrow tube that extends from an inside upper portion of the manifold to inside of the first pipe and is inserted into the throttle hole.

The present invention relates to an integrated connector and a heat exchanger including the same, in which a connector main body is formed by pressing one pipe, a cap is press-fitted into the connector main body, such that the integrated connector is formed so that an interior of the connector main body is blocked by the cap. Therefore, the number of components used to manufacture a connector, which connects and securely couples a header tank and a gas-liquid separator, may be reduced, the integrated connector may be easily manufactured, and a brazing defect may be reduced at portions where the integrated connector is joined to the header tank and the gas-liquid separator of the heat exchanger.

A flow conduit intended for use in a fouling environment includes at least one solid surface of a thermally adaptive material. The at least one solid surface is configured to undergo a shape change as a result of thermal cycling such the shape change dislodges unwanted material accumulated on the at least one solid surface during operation of the flow conduit in the fouling environment.

Methods and apparatus for processing fluid from a well are described. A first wall portion may define a first region and a second wall portion may define a second region, fluid from said well being let through those regions. Heating of said first wall portion may be performed to release wax from said first wall portion into said fluid at said first flow region. During said heating, cooling of said fluid at said second flow region may be performed to cause wax from said fluid to deposit on said second wall portion.

The invention relates to an indirect-type air cooler by way of which compressed charge air for an internal-combustion engine is cooled by means of a liquid, wherein the air cooler is constructed from stacked pairs of plates having fins which are disposed therebetween, and the brazed stack is disposed in a housing into which the charge air flows, flows through the fins and exits the housing again. The charge air exchanges heat with the liquid which flows in the plate pairs and which is introducible into the plate pairs via at least one inlet and via inlet-side plate openings which are flush in the stack and is dischargeable via at least one outlet by means of flush outlet-side plate openings. In order to further improve the performance potential of the air cooler, at least one venting element which extends to the exterior through an opening of the housing is connected to a liquid space within the stack.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger system comprising a jacket extending along a longitudinal axis and surrounding a jacket space. A pipe bundle is arranged in the jacket space wherein pipes are wound helically around a central pipe. At least one pre-distributor container is arranged in the jacket space for accommodating and degassing a liquid-gas mixture and designed to coat a distributing means with liquid degassed in the at least one pre-distributor container. The distributing means is designed to deliver the liquid to the pipe bundle. At the top the jacket has an inlet which is aligned with the longitudinal axis and in fluid connection with the central pipe. The central pipe has at least one lateral opening so that the liquid-gas mixture can be fed via the inlet, the central pipe, and the at least one lateral opening into the at least one pre-distributor container.

Provided is a heat exchanger, including: a first heat exchange unit, which includes a first flat tube; a second heat exchange unit, which is arranged so as to be opposed to the first heat exchange unit, and includes a second flat tube; and a tank, which connects the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit to each other. The tank has an upper wall and a lower wall defining an upper end and lower end of a tank space formed in the tank, respectively. One end of the first flat tube and one end of the second flat tube are connected to the tank space. When a height from the lower wall to the upper wall is defined as X, and a height from the lower wall to the one end of the first flat tube is defined as Y1, a relation between X and Y1 satisfies Y1<(1/2)X.

A water-cooled EGR cooler is to be supplied with exhaust gas from an exhaust line and is to re-circulate the cooled exhaust gas to an intake line. A housing has an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, a coolant inlet, and a coolant outlet. A heat exchange member is disposed in the housing and includes exhaust gas passages from the exhaust inlet to the exhaust outlet at a predetermined interval and also includes a coolant passage through which coolant can flow from the coolant inlet to the coolant outlet between the exhaust gas passages. A pipe member includes a bypass passage formed between an upper surface of the heat exchange member and an inside upper surface of the housing to allow the exhaust gas to bypass the heat exchange member and flow between the upper surface of the heat exchange member and the coolant outlet.
