Provided is an air conditioner system for a vehicle. The air conditioner system for a vehicle includes a compressor, an integral condenser in which a water cooling region and an air cooling region are formed integrally with each other, an expansion valve, and an evaporator, wherein the water cooling region and the air cooling region of the integral condenser are formed on one plate, such that existing air cooling and water cooling condensers may be formed integrally with each other through one-time brazing coupling, thereby reducing a package and simplifying assembling and manufacturing processes.

A liquid panel assembly configured to be used with an energy exchanger may include a support frame having one or more fluid circuits and at least one membrane secured to the support frame. Each of the fluid circuits may include an inlet channel connected to an outlet channel through one or more flow passages. A liquid is configured to flow through the fluid circuits and contact interior surfaces of the membrane(s). The fluid circuits are configured to at least partially offset liquid hydrostatic pressure with friction loss of the liquid flowing within the fluid circuits to minimize, eliminate, or otherwise reduce pressure within the liquid panel assembly.

A brazed heat exchanger includes plates that are stacked or nested to define flow channels for multiple media. Inserts are arranged within at least some of the flow channels. Two different braze alloys having compositions based on different metals are used to form braze joints between the plates and the inserts. In some cases, a copper-based braze alloy is used for joints corresponding to flow channels for one of the media in order to provide high pressure-resisting strength to those flow channels, while an iron-based braze alloy is used for joints corresponding to flow channels for another of the media where dissolved copper is undesirable.

A chemical reactor including: a plurality of heat exchange plates which between them define reaction compartments, in which reactor each heat exchange plate includes two walls between them defining at least one heat exchange space, the respective walls being fixed together by joining regions, and the reactor also comprises at least one injection device for injecting substance into the reaction compartments, said substance-injection device passing through the heat-exchange plates in respective joining regions thereof. Also, a chemical reaction process that can be carried out in this reactor.

A plate heat exchanger includes a stack of plate pairs with gaps between adjacent pairs, arranged to provide flow paths for a first fluid to pass through inner volumes of the plate pairs while simultaneously allowing a second fluid to flow over the outer surfaces of the plate pairs. At least one cylindrical fluid manifold for the first fluid extends through the plate pairs. A non-planar cap is arranged at one end of the plate heat exchanger to close off the cylindrical fluid manifold. A reinforcement plate is arranged at that end between the non-planar cap and an end plate of the plate heat exchanger. The position of the non-planar cap relative to a central axis of the cylindrical fluid manifold is maintained in order to prevent failure of the plate heat exchanger due to internal pressurization.

An internal combustion engine may include a housing and at least one cavity arranged therein for receiving a coolant flow. An exhaust gas cooler may be provided for cooling an exhaust gas flow. The exhaust gas cooler may be configured as a stacked disc cooler including at least two stacking discs, an exhaust gas inlet, a cover plate and a screw-mounting plate for screw-mounting to the housing. The exhaust gas cooler may protrude into the cavity of the housing when the screw-mounting plate is mounted to the housing. The screw-mounting plate may have a spacer element disposed at the exhaust gas inlet. The spacer element may protrude in a direction of the at least two stacking discs and enlarge a distance between the screw-mounting plate and an adjacent stacking disc of the at least two stacking discs to position the exhaust gas cooler further into the cavity.

The present invention discloses a round plate heat exchanger having a heat exchange part in which a plurality of heat medium flow paths and a plurality of combustion gas flow paths are formed alternately adjacent to each other between a plurality of plates. The plurality of plates are formed by stacking a plurality of unit plates comprising a first plate and a second plate stacked each therein. The plurality of heat medium flow paths are formed to be spaced from each other between the first plate and the second plate, a plurality of heat medium connection flow paths are formed in some areas of the plurality of heat medium flow paths, and each of the plurality of combustion gas flow paths is formed between the second plate of one unit plate and the first plate of another unit plate stacked adjacent to the unit plate.

An evaporator (1) for vaporizing a substance into its gaseous form, which comprises a cylindrical outer shell (2) and a plate pack (4) arranged inside the cylindrical shell in its lower part and a droplet separator (9) arranged above the plate pack. A recirculation of a substance to be vaporized is carried out by using flow guides (10a, 10b) arranged tightly between the plate pack and the outer shell and by an ejector pipe (13) arrangement comprising a collection pipe (11) arranged inside the outer shell.

A stub connection for a heat exchanger that is arranged in a housing and has a stack including plates and fins. The housing consists of housing parts which can be joined together, and at least one first stub for a first heat-exchanging medium being integrated directly into the housing. The stub connection also includes at least one second stub for a second heat-exchanging medium that extends to outside the housing. The at least one second stub is configured for the connection of a line and is integrated directly or indirectly into the housing.

An exhaust heat recovery device comprises an exhaust pipe, a shell member, a heat exchange portion, a guide portion, and a valve. An exhaust gas downstream end that is a downstream end along the flow path for exhaust gases in the exhaust pipe is disposed in the downstream side of a downstream-side end portion of the heat exchanger along the flow path for exhaust gases in the exhaust pipe. The guide portion comprises a partition wall portion that is a portion from the exhaust gas downstream end in the exhaust pipe to the downstream-side end portion of the heat exchanger in the exhaust pipe, and a guide member disposed so as to at least partially cover a radially outside of the partition wall portion in a manner so as to have an interspace between the partition wall portion and the guide member.
