A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle may include a plurality of flat tubes for a first medium and two tube bottoms. The plurality of flat tubes may be aligned in a longitudinal direction and stacked spaced apart from one another in a stack direction to form a heat exchanger block. The plurality of flat tubes may each extend into the two tube bottoms. The heat exchanger may also include two guide plates which close the heat exchanger block such that a plurality of flow spaces for a second medium are delimited between the plurality of flat tubes. A plurality of depressions may be disposed in a longitudinal end region of one of the guide plates, may protrude into a respective flow space, and may follow a shape of the adjacent flat tubes area by area such that the at least one guide plate surrounds the plurality of flat tubes.

An exhaust gas heat exchanger having stacked flat tubes includes a stacked tube body configured by stacking a plurality of flat tubes in multiple tiers with spaces therebetween and arranged inside a case; exhaust gas flows in from a first end part of the stacked tube body in a tube axis direction, circulates through each flat tube, and flows out from the a second end part; and cooling water from the case is supplied to the first end part to circulate along an exterior surface side of each flat tube. The cooling water is introduced into the tubes from two locations of the case and in mutually opposite directions which are parallel to flat surfaces of the tubes and vertical in the axis direction of the flat tubes.

Counter-flow heat exchanger is constructed with plenums at either end that separate the opposing fluids, the channels of which are arrayed in a checkerboard patterns, such that any given channel is surrounded by channels of opposing streams on four sideslaterally on both sides and vertically above and below.

A heat exchanger for an exhaust gas recirculation system includes an exchanger body delimiting an inner volume, and longitudinal tubes housed in the inner volume and forming a layer of tubes fitting between upper and lower planes. The tubes are separated by passages for circulating a second fluid, the upper plane being across from an upper part of the exchanger body. A second fluid inlet is arranged in the upper part of the exchanger body; and a member guides the second fluid in the inner volume. A deflector at least partially closes off the interstitial space between the upper part and the upper plane.

A method of forming a cast heat exchanger plate includes forming at least one hot core plate defining internal features of a one piece heat exchanger plate and at least one first set of interlocking features. At least one cold core plate is formed defining external features of the heat exchanger plate and at least one second set of interlocking features. A core assembly is assembled wherein each hot core plate is directly interlocked to the at least one cold core plate. A wax pattern is formed with the core assembly. An external shell is formed over the wax pattern. The wax pattern is removed to form a space between the core assembly and the external shell. The space is filled with a molten material and cures the molten material. The external shell is removed. The core assembly is removed. A core assembly for a cast heat exchanger is also disclosed.

A system and method for thermally exchanging heat between waste air being expelled from a poultry barn and fresh outside/outdoor ambient air being introduced into the poultry barn.

The invention concerns a header (3) for a heat exchanger (1) comprising: a header plate (4) comprising orifices intended to receive tubes (2), said header plate (4) comprising a peripheral groove (42), a compressible gasket (44) arranged within the peripheral groove (42), a cover (8) covering the header plate (4) and comprising lateral walls (81) that are inserted into the peripheral groove (42) and compress the gasket (44), the lateral walls (81) of the cover (8) comprising projecting retaining elements (82) that come to bear on the header plate (4).

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of first refrigerant flow tubes in fluid communication with one of a suction line and a liquid line, and a second refrigerant flow tube in fluid communication with the other of the suction line and the liquid line. Each of the first refrigerant flow tubes and the second refrigerant flow tube have microchannels, the second refrigerant flow tube positioned between and cooperates with the first refrigerant flow tubes to heat vapor refrigerant flowing in the suction line, the refrigerant directed to or exiting the second refrigerant flow tube flows around a portion of at least one of the first refrigerant flow tubes.

A vertical seed conditioner may be formed of a plurality of sections that can be individually removed for repair and/or replacement without requiring the entire seed conditioner be permanently decommissioned. For example, the seed conditioner may be formed of a plurality of heat transfer sections stacked vertically with respect to each other to form the conditioning vessel. Each heat transfer section may include an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold, and multiple heat transfer tubes extending from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold. The multiple heat transfer tubes may be spaced from each other to provide a gap between adjacent tubes through which the granular solid can travel.

Device for heat transfer between a first fluid and one second fluid includes a housing with first housing element, second housing element and heat transfer element. Housing is developed with a first connecting fitting and a second connecting fitting for each fluid. Heat transfer element is disposed in a volume completely enclosed in a housing and is developed for through-conduction of the first fluid. Housing is developed for conduction of the second fluid about the heat transfer element. Connecting fittings for second fluid are either disposed on the first housing element and the connecting fittings for the first fluid are disposed on the second housing element, wherein within the second housing at least one flow path for conducting the first fluid is implemented which extends between a connecting fitting and a collector region or the connecting fittings for the fluids are disposed on the first housing element.
