Provided is a cooling device with which it is possible to cool a fluid to be cooled, even before maintenance work, if a fault such as a blockage or a breakage occurs in a part of a channel. The cooling device (1) is provided with four heat exchangers (1A-1D) and a plurality of heat exchanger connection parts (111-120), each of the heat exchanger connection parts allowing natural gas to flow therethrough. Each of the heat exchangers has: a drum (101, 102, 103, fourth drum 104), a refrigerant reservoir (T), a plurality of heat exchanger core parts (121, 122, 123, 124) immersed in liquid propane in the refrigerant reservoir (T), and a demister (106). A plurality of cooling channels allowing natural gas to flow therethrough are installed, independent of each other, from the first heat exchanger (1A) to the fourth heat exchanger (1D).

A heat exchanger suitable to be used as a recuperator in a micro gas turbine including a stack of cells. Each of the cells includes a pair of mutually spaced-apart plates and layers including heat exchange elements arranged at the outer surfaces of the plates and between the plates. Each of the layers including heat exchange elements can include at least one discrete spatial component incorporating a number of elements. Both a supply header and a discharge header of the heat exchanger can be made of only two components at the position of the stack of cells. Compensating for heat expansion effects can be via a bellows-shaped pipe portion of a supply conduit.

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.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of first members, and a plurality of second members located between adjacent first members of the plurality of first members. The plurality of first members each include a plurality of openings and a first flow path connected to the plurality of openings. The plurality of second members each include a second flow path connected to the openings of the adjacent first members. The plurality of openings and the first flow path of the first member, and the second flow path of the second member define a flow path for a first fluid. A region between the adjacent first members defines a flow path for a second fluid. The heat exchanger further includes a third member extending toward the region on the first member.

A heat exchanger is configured to adjust a flow restriction of flow passages through the heat exchanger in response to changes in temperature of elements that define at least a portion of the flow passages. The elements include a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion, and a second material having a second coefficient of thermal expansion that is different from the first coefficient of thermal expansion.

A window assembly heat transfer system is disclosed in which a window member has a selected transparency to monitored or sensed electromagnetic wavelengths. One or more passages are provided in the window member for flowing a single-phase or two-phase heat transfer fluid. A mechanism allows either evaporation or condensation of the fluid and/or balancing of a flow of the fluid within the passages. In one embodiment, the window assembly can be made by producing passages in a top surface of a first single plate, optionally producing passages in a bottom surface of a second single plate and bonding the top surface of the first plate to a bottom surface of a second single plate to form the window member with the passage or passages. In another embodiment, the window assembly can be made by providing a core around which the window member material is grown and thereafter removing the core to produce the passage or passages.

A heat dissipation device is configured for a working fluid to flow therethrough. The heat dissipation device includes a base, at least one heat dissipation fin, and at least one fluid replenisher. The base has at least one internal channel configured for the working fluid to flow therethrough. The at least one heat dissipation fin having an extension channel and an inlet and an outlet is in fluid communication with the extension channel. The at least one heat dissipation fin is inserted into one side of the base, and the extension channel is communicated with the at least one internal channel through the inlet and the outlet. The at least one fluid replenisher is connected to at least one internal channel.

A multi-component fluid delivery system includes a heater system. The heater system includes an improved fluid preheating system based on a high conductivity fluid heat exchange manifold that is coupled to external heater elements (e.g., powered via electricity). These techniques can provide more surface area for heating fluid and is external to the fluid passages, making service or replacement much easier. These techniques can utilize etched foil or wire wound heater elements that operate at a lower internal temperature than cartridge heaters, and thus can be inherently more reliable.

A thermal transfer panel is provided for transferring thermal energy to or from an ambient environment. The thermal transfer panel includes a thermal radiating plate having a plurality of spaced elongate tabs and a thermal insulating plate having a plurality of elongate grooves. The thermal transfer panel is coupled to the thermal insulating plate to form a fluid flow channel. The tabs can include a plurality of apertures, wherein the thermal insulating plate is coupled to the thermal radiating plate, by a bonding agent or a portion of the thermal insulating plate being flowed into the apertures of the tabs so as to retain the thermal insulating plate relative to the thermal radiating plate. Couplers are provided for connecting the thermal transfer panels by fluidly connecting the fluid flow channels of one thermal transfer panel to the fluid flow channels of another thermal transfer panel, or a manifold, or a fluid distribution system.
