Intercooler
An intercooler includes a cooling tube having a first coolant passage through which a first coolant flows and a second coolant passage through which a second coolant flows. A pair of plate portions having a predetermined shape are bonded with each other by brazing such that the pair of plate portions are superposed on each other to define the first coolant passage and the second coolant passage between the pair of plate portions. The cooling tube includes a passage partition portion separating the first coolant passage from the second coolant passage at a part of the pair of plate portions between the first coolant passage and the second coolant passage, and at least one through-hole in the passage partition portion. At least one swaged portion that crimps the pair of plate portions is provided at a periphery of the through-hole.
HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger includes: a main body; and a tube sheet that is bonded to the main body with a brazing material and is used to fix the main body to a support by a fixing member. The tube sheet includes: a bonding surface to which the brazing material is applied; a rising portion that rises from the bonding surface; and a through-hole through which the fixing member is passed. The through-hole is opened at the rising portion, penetrates the tube sheet, and has an inner peripheral surface to which the brazing material is not applied. The main body includes heat transfer tubes through which refrigerant flows, and the tube sheet is bonded to surface of the heat transfer tube.
ADVANCED LARGE SCALE FIELD-ERECTED AIR COOLED INDUSTRIAL STEAM CONDENSER
Large scale field erected air cooled industrial steam condenser having heat exchanger bundles constructed with an integral secondary section positioned in the center of the heat exchanger, flanked by identical primary condenser sections. A bottom bonnet runs along the bottom length of the heat exchanger bundle, connected to the bottom side of the bottom tube sheet, for delivering steam to the bottom end of the primary condenser tubes and for receiving condensate formed in those same tubes. The tops of the tubes are connected to a top bonnet. Uncondensed steam and non-condensables flow into the top bonnet from the primary condenser tubes and flow toward the center of the heat exchanger bundle where they enter the top of the secondary condenser section tubes. Non-condensables and condensate formed in the secondary section tubes enter a secondary bottom bonnet inside the primary bottom bonnet and are withdrawn from the secondary bottom bonnet via outlet nozzle. Each cell of the ACC is fed by a single riser which delivers its steam to an upper steam distribution manifold suspended from and directly below the bundle support framework.
HEAT EXCHANGE UNIT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF
The present disclosure generally relates to a heat exchanger (50) and a heat exchange unit (100) for the heat exchanger (50). The heat exchange unit (100) comprises: a plurality of plain fins (102) stacked perpendicularly to a first plane, such that a first fluid (104) is communicable through the first plane between the fins (102); and a plurality of tubes (112) for communicating a second fluid (110) therethrough for heat exchange with the first fluid (104), the tubes (112) extending perpendicularly through the fins (102), each tube (112) comprising an oblique cross-section (114) having a pair of opposing first sides (114a) and a pair of opposing second sides (114b). For each oblique cross-section (114), the first sides (114a) are perpendicular to the first plane and the second sides (114b) are angled approximately 60° to the first plane, the first sides (114a) being longer than the second sides (114b).
Heat exchanger
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.
Cooling module for vehicle
The present invention relates to a cooling module for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a cooling module for a vehicle including a condenser, a first radiator through which coolant for an engine flow, a second radiator through which coolant for electrical components flows, and an intercooler, and capable of evenly distributing air resistance of the front surface of the first radiator to secure an overall balance of an air volume distribution by disposing the condenser, the second radiator, and the first radiator in a flow direction of air or disposing the second radiator, the condenser, and the first radiator in this order, and disposing the intercooler on lower sides of the condenser and the second radiator, and capable of minimizing a gap of each heat exchange period by disposing the condenser C and the first radiator R to be in closely contact with the second radiator L.
HEADER ARRANGEMENT FOR ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger includes first and second fluid circuits. The first fluid circuit is formed by a first set of fins, a first inlet header, and a first outlet header. The first set of fins extend radially and are coaxial with each other. The first inlet header is fluidly connected to and is disposed on an upstream end of the first fins. The first outlet header is fluidly connected to and is disposed on a downstream end of the first fins. The second fluid circuit is formed by a second set of fins, a second inlet header, and a second outlet header. The second fins extend radially and are coaxial with each other. An annular shape of the second inlet header conforms to the circular shape of the first inlet header. An annular shape of the second outlet header conforms to the circular shape of the first outlet header.
INTEGRAL MOUNTING ARM FOR HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger includes a central spar, a body, and a mounting arm. The central spar is disposed along an axial centerline of the heat exchanger. The body is disposed around the central spar. The body includes an exterior wall and heat exchanger core disposed within the exterior wall and integrally formed with the central spar. The mounting arm is integrally formed with and extends radially from the central spar. The mounting arm extends through a portion of the body and is integrally formed with the central spar via additive manufacturing.
UNIVERSAL HEAT EXCHANGER CABINET SYSTEM FOR A VERTICALLY MOUNTED HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger cabinet includes a base pallet. A heat exchanger base bracket of a selected fixed height or of an adjustable height bracket provides a support for a bottom of a heat exchanger, such that regardless of a height the heat exchanger, and within a range of different heat exchanger heights, a plurality of top mounted fluid inlets and outlets of the heat exchanger are disposed at about a same height above the base pallet. A set of heat exchanger base brackets, a stackable heat exchanger base bracket, a heat shield for a heat exchanger cabinet, and a heat exchanger cabinet for a vertically mounted heat exchanger are also described.
Embedded heat exchanger with support mechanism
A zone-control unit for use in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the zone-control unit includes a heat exchanger, an inlet piping assembly coupled with the heat exchanger for supplying fluid to the heat exchanger, an outlet piping assembly coupled with the heat exchanger for receiving fluid from the heat exchanger, a bracket that maintains the inlet piping assembly and the outlet piping assembly in positional relationship, and an ancillary component coupled with the heat exchanger.
