A clamping system secures to at least one tube in a tube bundle of a heat exchanger in order to reduce vibration damage. The clamping system includes a first clamping component having a J-shape, a second clamping component having an L-shape, a configuration where the first arc around the tube plus the second arc around the tube is equal to at least 100 degrees; and a means for resisting movement of the clamping components. The first clamping component with a J-shape covers a first arc around the tube. The second clamping component with an L-shape covers a second arc opposite the first arc. One of the means for resisting movement includes a stake, a nut, and a bolt.

A vibration damping structure for a heat-transfer tube bundle including columns arranged at an interval and each composed of a plurality of heat-transfer tubes curved in a common plane and arranged in parallel to each other. The vibration damping structure includes a first vibration damping member and a second vibration damping member disposed between the columns so as to intersect the array direction of the columns. The first vibration damping member and the second vibration damping member are disposed at different positions in an axial direction of each heat-transfer tube, and thicknesses of the first vibration damping member and the second vibration damping member in the array direction are larger than an average value of a clearance between the columns under operation.

A cooling system 100 for directly cooling an electronic device immersed in a coolant includes a cooling tank 11 containing the coolant C, a leakage receiving portion 21 disposed between the cooling tank 11 and a floor surface so as to receive the coolant L leaked from the cooling tank 11, an additional leakage receiving portion 22 disposed to receive the coolant L overflown from the leakage receiving portion 21 which stores the leaked coolant by a volume in excess of a predetermined volume, and a passage 25 that connects the leakage receiving portions 21 and 23 for passing the overflown coolant L by the volume in excess of the predetermined volume. The system facilitates collection of the accidentally leaked coolant, and ensures to keep the low height of the device for temporarily accumulating the leaked coolant L until it is collected.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a vapor compression system that includes a refrigerant loop, a compressor disposed along the refrigerant loop and configured to circulate refrigerant through the refrigerant loop, a condenser disposed downstream of the compressor along the refrigerant loop, where the condenser includes a plurality of tubes disposed in a shell and a diffusion area configured to enhance thermal energy transfer within the condenser, where the diffusion area is defined by a cavity of the condenser without a tube of the plurality of tubes, and an evaporator disposed downstream of the condenser along the refrigerant loop.

A radiator includes a radiator frame, an array of tube assemblies each including a coolant tube and a tube clip supported in the radiator frame, and a lateral bump stop fitted between the array of tube assemblies and the radiator frame. The lateral bump stop includes cushions arranged in a staggered cushion pattern complementary to a staggered packing pattern of the tube assemblies with each of the cushions in contact with the tube clip of one of the tube assemblies.

An apparatus for protecting negative pressure is provided. The apparatus includes a main flow passage that circulates coolant of a vehicle and includes a section where negative pressure is formed therein. A housing is positioned at the section where the negative pressure of the main flow passage is formed and has a communication aperture that communicates with the main flow passage therein. A negative pressure valve is disposed at the inside of the housing to open or close the communication aperture based on the relationship of an exterior pressure and a valve inside pressure to maintain the valve inside pressure above a predetermined reference value.

Shell-and-tube equipment includes baffles supporting the tubes, each baffle having seats for receiving the tubes shaped so as to receive one or more tubes in at least one free play condition and in a locking condition; each baffle is displaceable with respect to the tube bundle between an assembly position and a working position; in the assembly position the tubes can be received by the baffles in the free play condition while in the working position the tubes are locked.

A heat exchanger includes a first fluid manifold extending along a first fluid axis from a first fluid inlet to a first fluid outlet. The first fluid manifold includes a first fluid inlet header, a first fluid outlet header, and a nested helical core section. The first fluid inlet header is disposed to fork the first fluid inlet into a plurality of first fluid branches distributed circumferentially and radially about the first fluid axis. The first fluid outlet header is disposed to combine the plurality of first fluid branches into the first fluid outlet. The nested helical core section fluidly connects the first fluid inlet header to the first fluid outlet header via a plurality of nested helical tubes, and includes radially inner and outer groups of circumferentially distributed helical tubes.
