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.

A projector having a cooling target includes a light source configured to emit light, a light modulator configured to modulate the light emitted from the light source, a projection optical device, a cooler configured to cool the cooling target based on transformation of a refrigerant into a gas, and a dust-proof case configured to house at least a part of the cooling target inside. The cooler includes a refrigerant generator configured to generate the refrigerant, and a refrigerant sender configured to transmit the generated refrigerant toward the cooling target. The cooling target includes a cooling target main body part, and a cooling target part which is thermally coupled to the cooling target main body part, and to which the refrigerant is transmitted from the refrigerant sender. The cooling target main body part is disposed inside the dust-proof case. The cooling target part is disposed outside the dust-proof case.

Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to a graphene doped aluminum composite, as well as a method of forming such a composite. Devices for heat dissipation can include such a graphene doped aluminum composite, where the composite can be formed in a process that includes crystallizing aluminum around substantially uniformly dispersed graphene.
