Heat transfer device
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.
Hinged waterbox cover
A bolted hinge assembly is provided for a waterbox cover (a “waterbox hinge assembly”). The waterbox hinge assembly generally does not require welding on the waterbox cover or the heat exchanger in an HVAC system (“HVAC unit” hereinafter). Further, the waterbox hinge assembly may be installable to the HVAC unit without removing the heat exchange fluids (e.g., water, refrigerant, etc.) from the HVAC unit. In some cases, the waterbox hinge assembly can be installed on an HVAC unit without removing any bolts from the waterbox cover. Once installed, the waterbox hinge assembly can be left in place so that it can be reused anytime the HVAC unit is serviced.
GASKET ARRANGEMENT, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A GASKET ARRANGEMENT AND ASSEMBLY
A gasket arrangement for a plate heat exchanger, a method of manufacturing such a gasket arrangement, and an assembly comprising such a gasket arrangement are provided. The gasket arrangement comprises a gasket positionable between first and second aligned heat transfer plates of the plate heat exchanger with a lower side of the gasket abutting the first heat transfer plate and an opposing upper side of the gasket abutting the second heat transfer plate. The gasket arrangement further comprises a projection projecting from an outside of the gasket. The projection comprises an outer part having a length extension and being arranged to extend outside the first and second heat transfer plates, and a first connection part, connecting the gasket and the outer part of the projection. The gasket arrangement further comprises an RFID tag which at least partly is embedded in at least the outer part of the projection.
Heat Exchanger
The present disclosure provides a heat exchanger, including: a plurality of flat pipes, wherein, the plurality of flat pipes are arranged at intervals; first sealing cushion blocks, arranged between two adjacent flat pipes, wherein the first sealing cushion blocks are located on end portions of the flat pipes, so as to seal gaps between two adjacent flat pipes by means of the first sealing cushion blocks; and a flow collecting shell, provided with a first opening portion, wherein at least part of the first sealing cushion blocks and the end portions of the flat pipes are all plugged into the first opening portion, so that the flow collecting shell, the flat pipes and the first sealing cushion blocks form a flow collecting channel in an encircling manner.
SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR HEAT EXCHANGER
In at least some implementations, a plate for a heat exchanger defines at least in part a flow channel for a working fluid of the heat exchanger, the plate defines an aperture adjacent the flow channel, and the aperture has a sensor assembly disposed therein. The sensor assembly includes a body mounted to the aperture and at least in one of a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor secured within the body, and the body forming in part the flow channel for the working fluid.
Heat Exchanger for an Internal Combustion Engine Comprising a Deformation in a Joining Region of Two Separating Walls, Method for Producing a Heat Exchanger and Internal Combustion Engine Comprising a Heat Exchanger
A heat exchanger for an internal combustion engine transfers heat between fluids and includes a housing having a housing wall and a housing interior bordered at least in regions by the housing wall. The housing interior has a fluid inlet region for introducing a first fluid of the fluids into the housing interior and a fluid outlet region for discharging the first fluid out of the housing interior. The heat exchanger has at least two partition walls, which are at least substantially accommodated in the housing interior and connected to the housing wall of the housing at at least one connection region. The partition walls border at least regions of a fluid receiving chamber, through which a second fluid of the fluids can flow, in order to separate the fluids from one another. The partition walls are connected to one another at least at a joining region associated with the fluid inlet region and adjacent to the fluid receiving chamber in a main fluid flow direction of the first fluid. The partition walls also have a deformation, at least in a joining sub-region of the joining region spaced apart from the connection region, which is provided to at least reduce mechanical tension in the at least one connection region due to a temperature-dependent change in length of the joining region.
BYPASS SEAL FOR PLATE HEATER MATRIX
A heat exchanger for a motor vehicle includes a seal and a core. The core includes a first groove formed in a first side and a second groove formed in an opposing second side. The first groove and the second groove are each configured to receive a portion of the seal to secure the seal to the core. The seal includes a cross member and a pair of uprights extending from opposing ends of the cross member, wherein the cross member and the uprights each include a sealing element. The uprights further include a rail extending from the upright and configured to be received in the groove of the core. The core further includes an integrated shear panel formed at opposing ends thereof.
COUNTER-FLOW HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger includes a casing having a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet, and a second outlet, and a plate assembly positioned between the first inlet and the first outlet and between the second inlet and the second outlet and at least partially in the casing, the plate assembly is being configured to transfer heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger also includes a first plenum connecting a first side of the plate assembly and configured to direct the first fluid from first inlet to the plate assembly, and a second plenum connecting a second side of the plate assembly and configured to direct the first fluid from the plate assembly to the first outlet. An exterior of the second plenum is in contact with the second fluid, and the second plenum is configured to resiliently deflect in response to thermal expansion.
MANIFOLD INTEGRATED INTERCOOLER WITH STRUCTURAL CORE
A heat exchanger for a vehicle includes an inlet tank configured to receive air from an air circuit of the vehicle. The heat exchanger further includes a heat exchange assembly disposed intermediate the inlet tank and an outlet tank. The heat exchange assembly exchanging heat between the air and a coolant. The outlet tank is configured to directly couple to an engine block of the vehicle and convey the air to the engine block. The outlet tank has at least two openings formed therein. The openings are configured to communicate with corresponding cylinders of the engine block of the vehicle.
