A heat exchanger and a fin are provided. The heat exchanger includes: a fin. The fin includes a fin body and a flange, the fin body being provided with a heat exchange tube hole, the flange being provided on the fin body and surrounding the heat exchange tube hole; and a heat exchange tube passing through the heat exchange tube hole and connected to the flange. The flange includes a first sub-flange and a plurality of second sub-flanges, the first sub-flange is connected to the fin body, the plurality of second sub-flanges are connected to the first sub-flange and spaced apart from one another, and a height of the first sub-flange is less than a height of the second sub-flange.

A mobile phase-change heat and cold storage device include heat transfer plates, a bracket, a casing, a main tube, a storage tank, and a phase-change working medium. Heat is stored and released by the phase-change working medium, and the main tube and casing provide an interface between the heat and cold storage device and the outside world. In the process of heat storage, vapor flows through the heat transfer plates via the main tube; heat is transferred to the phase-change working medium via the heat transfer plates, and is transported in a box body to a designated position; cold water flows through the heat transfer plates via the casing; heat is transferred from the phase-change working medium to the cold water via the heat transfer plates to obtain hot water; the phase-change working medium can release heat by exothermic solidification. The process of cold storage is similar thereto.

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.

A method of making a heat exchanger that includes sealing tubes to header slots and brazing the tubes to the header slots. The method further includes coupling a cover to the header to cover a liquid-side surface of the header and to cover ends of the tubes, and applying flux to an air-side surface of the header and to the tubes. Coupling the cover to the header is performed after sealing the tubes to the header slots and coupling the cover to the header is performed before applying flux to the air-side surface of the header and to the tubes. Applying flux is performed before brazing each of the tubes to the header slots and sealing each of the tubes to the header slot includes sealing a perimeter of each of the tubes to the header slot.

Disclosed is a heat exchanger, including: at least two heat exchange tube groups—wherein each heat exchange tube group includes at least two heat exchange tubes; and a connecting member, wherein the at least two heat exchange tubes are communicated with each other by the connecting member—the at least two heat exchange tube groups are connected by the connecting member, and the at least two heat exchange tube groups are not communicated with each other. The heat exchanger solves a problem that the structure of the heat exchanger with an A type structure in a technology known to inventors is complicated.

A shell-and-plate heat exchanger includes: a shell that forms an internal space and includes a refrigerant outlet at a top of the shell; and a plate stack disposed in the internal space and that includes heat transfer plates that are stacked and joined together. The shell-and-plate heat exchanger is configured to allow a refrigerant that has flowed into the internal space to evaporate. The refrigerant outlet emits a gas refrigerant out of the internal space through the refrigerant outlet. The plate stack forms: refrigerant channels that communicate with the internal space and through which a refrigerant flows; and heating medium channels that are blocked from the internal space and through which a heating medium flows. Each of the refrigerant channels is adjacent to an associated one of the heating medium channels with one of the heat transfer plates interposed therebetween.

A transfer tube for a thermal transfer device can include at least one wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, where the inner surface forms a cavity, where the at least one wall further has a first end and a second end. The first end can be configured to couple to a terminus of a heat exchanger of the thermal transfer device. The second end can be configured to couple to a collector box of the thermal transfer device. At least a portion of the at least one wall can be disposed in a vestibule of the thermal transfer device. The cavity can be configured to simultaneously receive a first fluid that flows from the first end to the second end and a second fluid that flows from the second end to the first end.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising first fluid inlets, first fluid outlets, second fluid inlets and second fluid outlets. Each of the first fluid inlets, the first fluid outlets, the second fluid inlets and the second fluid outlets are arranged on four different sides of a heat exchanger core. A manifold covers one of the four different sides of the heat exchanger core, wherein a first sidewall of the manifold is arranged at an angle smaller than 90 degree to the one side of the heat exchanger core which is covered by the manifold. An edge of the heat exchanger core between the one side of the heat exchanger core which is covered by the manifold and a neighbouring side of the four different sides of the heat exchanger core forms a common weld line with a connecting edge of the first sidewall of the manifold. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a heat exchanger comprising a heat exchanger core and a manifold.
