An apparatus for cooling liquids that includes a tank that has two longitudinal walls, two lateral walls and a top opening, and cooling flasks that each of has two longitudinal walls and two lateral walls. The cooling flasks are designed to be fixed inside the tank by attaching their lateral walls to the recesses that are match to each other. The cooling flasks are designed to be set within the tank in such a way that a gap smaller than 2.5 millimeters is formed between each two adjacent cooling flasks, creating a cooling space. The volume of the cooling flasks is three times greater or more than the volume of the cooling space. A user can pour hot water into the cooling space and a coolant material within the cooling flasks adsorbs heat from the hot water.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a block of first and second flow channels arranged adjacently to one another, said block being designed to be open at one inflow side and at one outflow side of the first flow channels for the inflow and outflow of a first fluid into or out of said first flow channels, and the second flow channels comprising openings for the inflow and outflow of a second fluid, said block consisting of a first element and a second element, each of these forming second flow channels and a side wall, and these elements being joined together such that the two side walls form block side walls which lie opposite one another, said second flow channels extending between these side walls and forming first flow channels between themselves and the side walls.

Counter-flow heat exchanged 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 transferring thermal energy between a first working fluid and a second working fluid. The heat exchanger has an outer shell that has a first port, a second port, a third port, and a fourth port. A set of tubes each extend within the outer shell and between the first and second ports, such that the first working fluid can flow in parallel through the tubes. A plenum space extends within the outer shell and between the third and fourth ports, and surrounding the tubes. The second working fluid is to flow through the plenum space. The heat exchanger has a central core region, a first transition region that extends between the first port and the central core region, and a second transition region that extends between the second port and the central core region.

A flat tube for a header-plateless heat exchanger has an inner plate and an outer plate that are each press-molded from a metal plate and are curved/folded into a groove shape comprising a groove bottom section and two side wall sections. Both plates are such that the outer plate is fitted to the outside of the inner plate in a manner such that the groove bottom sections oppose each other, and an expanded opening in the thickness direction is formed at both ends of the plates.

A heat exchanger, in particular a charge air cooler or an exhaust gas cooler for an internal combustion engine, comprising a plurality of essentially parallel tubes and at least one collector box on the output side, the tubes each emptying into the collector box on the output side, and a gas flow flowing from the tubes into the collector box and from the collector box into an outlet of the collector box, a structure for interacting with the gas flow being provided at least one of the tubes or collector box, a condensation being transported to the outlet with the aid of the structure.

Heat recovery component for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, comprising an inlet, an outlet, a heat recovery branch conduit comprising a heat recovery branch conduit inlet, a heat recovery branch conduit outlet, and a heat exchanger arranged in the heat recovery branch conduit, a bypass branch conduit being separate from the heat recovery branch conduit, and a valve being configured to be rotatable between a heat recovery end position and a bypass end position, the valve being arranged to be rotatable around a rotation axis located in the bypass branch conduit, wherein the valve comprises a bypass valve flap and a heat recovery valve flap, the bypass valve flap and the heat recovery valve flap being operatively connected by a support.

A heat exchanger has a first plurality of fluid passages with an inlet manifold communicating into a core portion, and then an outlet manifold. A second plurality of fluid passages has an inlet manifold communicating into a core portion, and then into an outlet manifold and the core portions of both the first and second pluralities of fluid passages having smaller cross-sectional areas than cross-sectional areas of the inlet and outlet manifolds. A gas turbine engine and a method of forming a heat exchanger are also disclosed.

A heat exchanger, such as an indirect charge-air cooler for an internal combustion engine, may include a first duct system including a plurality of pipes, a second duct system, a collector including a base part and a box part, and at least two opposite side parts. The plurality of pipes may be arranged between the side parts, and the first duct system may be fluidically separated from the second duct system. The box part may bear against at least one of the side parts via a first contact surface. At least one frame part may be provided and coupled in a non-positively locking connection and/or a cohesive connection, for example by pressing and/or brazing, to a respective outer edge of the side parts, a respective outer edge of the base part, and/or a respect outer edge of the box part.

A heat exchanger includes at least one first flow channel for a first medium, at least one second flow channel for a second medium, and at least one bottom that can be connected to the housing. The bottom has at least one expansion element.
