Heat exchanger assembly and method of assembly thereof

A heat exchanger assembly includes a frame; first and second heat exchanger panels configured for exchanging heat with air pulled into the heat exchanger assembly and disposed in a V-configuration; a fan for pulling air into an enclosed space of the heat exchanger assembly; a plurality of lateral enclosing panels and at least one middle enclosing panel. The at least one middle enclosing panel extends perpendicular to the lateral enclosing panels and is disposed between the heat exchanger panels. A U-shaped lower end of the at least one middle enclosing panel includes first and second wall portions opposite one another. The lower ends of the heat exchanger panels abut the wall portions such that the wall portions are deflected relative to one another by forces exerted thereon by the lower ends causing a first and second seals to form between the wall portions and the heat exchanger panels.

Automated control of heat exchanger operation

An indirect heat exchanger has two airflow paths and an airflow generator to draw air through the airflow paths. A fluid conduit passes through the heat exchanger such that a cooling region is positioned within each of the flow paths. A dispenser is positioned to dispense evaporative liquid on one of the cooling regions. The dispenser operates in a wet mode and a dry mode. A controller regulates airflow through the first flow path and the second flow path, and also controls the operation of the dispenser. In this way, the controller may operate the airflow paths independently such that the airflow through a flow path operating in the dry mode is greater than that of the flow path operating in the wet mode.

EVAPORATIVE COOLER AND MOISTURE CONDENSER WITH VAPOR RECOVERY AND METHOD
20210301505 · 2021-09-30 ·

An evaporative cooler which includes a sealed loop of conduit with a first portion in a space to be cooled and a second portion in a space where heat is rejected, a volume of working fluid, and a fan inside the conduit loop. The fan forces air over the working fluid to accelerate its evaporation, which requires heat. Evaporation creates vapor-enriched air which carries heat and is forced by the fan to the second portion. Within the second portion, the vapor-enriched air rejects the absorbed heat before being forced back to the first portion. In certain cases, a portion of the working fluid in the vapor-enriched air condenses out and drains or is pumped back to the first portion. In certain uses, the cooler provides cooling to an area. In other uses, the cooler captures vaporized water, producing an impurity-free condensate for removal or use.

Heat exchanger

A heat exchanger may include flat tubes formed of a microchannel type, and first and second fins positioned at a top and bottom of the flat tubes so as to conduct the heat of the flat tubes. The first and second fins may be respectively provided with first and second condensate water discharge fins at a top and bottom. The second condensate water discharge fins of the first fins and the first condensate water discharge fins of the second fins may come into contact, and the second condensate water discharge fins of the first fins and the first condensate water discharge fins of the second fins may be disposed in a line with respect to a vertical direction, thereby having an advantage of quickly transferring condensate water formed at the top to the bottom.
