Compact heat exchanger
A heat exchanger having a fins and tubes heat exchanger coupled to a plates heat exchanger and an open sided bypass compartment facing one of the edges of the fin and tubes heat exchanger. The plates heat exchanger has an inlet zone and an outlet zone. The heat exchanger is configured to guide a fluid to flow from the inlet zone, through inlet pathways between plates of the plates heat exchanger, and fins of the fins and tubes heat exchanger then toward the bypass compartment, then in between the fins facing outlet pathways, toward in between the surfaces of the plates facing the outlet pathways, and then toward the outlet zone.
SUPERPOSED HEAT EXCHANGER
Disclosed is a superposed heat exchanger, including a plurality of fins superposed up. Two opposite side edges of each fin are bent upwards to form a ventilating air path in coordination with an upper fin, and adjacent fins are arranged in a mode of vertical-horizontal alternating so as to form horizontal air paths and vertical air paths independent from each other with up-down intervals.
CLOTHING PROCESSING EQUIPMENT
A clothing processing equipment includes a drum configured to accommodate laundry, a heat pump, and an air flow path defined between the heat pump and the drum, where the air flow path is configured to guide air circulating through the drum. The heat pump includes an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve and is configured to apply heat to air circulating through the drum. The condenser includes condensation refrigerant tubes configured to receive refrigerant and a condensation fin configured to conduct heat from the condensation refrigerant tubes. The evaporator includes evaporation refrigerant tubes configured to receive the refrigerant and an evaporation fin configured to conduct heat to the evaporation refrigerant tubes. The condensation refrigerant tubes define channels that are configured to carry the refrigerant. A cross-sectional area of each channel is less than a cross-sectional area of each evaporation refrigerant tube.
Apparatus to harvest atmospheric water vapor
The present disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and products for attracting, capturing and converting atmospheric water vapor into useful liquid water utilizing thermal dynamic processes such as deposition, phase change states and fusion.
Systems and methods for single header glycol distribution for multiplexed heat exchangers
Cooling medium circulation systems for supplying a cooling medium through a single header to multiplexed heat exchangers are described. In an aspect, a system includes, but is not limited to, a storage tank configured to hold a cooling medium in a fluid state; first and second circulation pumps fluidically coupled to the storage tank; a single cooling medium header fluidically coupled with each of the circulation pumps; a first dryer module configured to direct a first portion of cooling medium from the single cooling medium header past a first stream of compressed air and to direct the first portion of cooling medium back to the storage tank; and a second dryer module fluidically configured to direct a second portion of cooling medium from the single cooling medium header past a second stream of compressed air.
APPARATUS TO HARVEST ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR
The present disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and products for attracting, capturing and converting atmospheric water vapor into useful liquid water utilizing thermal dynamic processes such as deposition, phase change states and fusion.
Plate heat exchanger with overlapping fins and tubes heat exchanger
A heat exchanger comprises a stack of sets of fins and tubes attached to or encompassed by embossed plates comprising a void. In some embodiments, the fins overlap the void having a peripheral margin of the fin attached to the peripheral margin around the void. In some embodiments, the fins comprise through fluid apertures allowing lateral fluid flow. In some embodiments, the plates comprise lateral peripheral protrusions enabling selective sealing of gaps between adjacent stacked plates by unselective application of heat or adhesive to a face of the heat exchanger. In some embodiments, the plates comprise uniformizing protrusions in a fluid inlet and/or outlet zone that reduce the amount of non-uniform fluid mass flow between different channel protrusions of heat exchanging zones of the set. Also disclosed are methods for assembly and selective sealing of the heat exchanger and an apparatus comprising the same.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SINGLE HEADER GLYCOL DISTRIBUTION FOR MULTIPLEXED HEAT EXCHANGERS
Cooling medium circulation systems for supplying a cooling medium through a single header to multiplexed heat exchangers are described. In an aspect, a system includes, but is not limited to, a storage tank configured to hold a cooling medium in a fluid state; first and second circulation pumps fluidically coupled to the storage tank; a single cooling medium header fluidically coupled with each of the circulation pumps; a first dryer module configured to direct a first portion of cooling medium from the single cooling medium header past a first stream of compressed air and to direct the first portion of cooling medium back to the storage tank; and a second dryer module fluidically configured to direct a second portion of cooling medium from the single cooling medium header past a second stream of compressed air.
