A heatsink comprising a heat exchange device having a plurality of heat exchange elements each having a surface boundary with respect to a heat transfer fluid, having a fractal variation therebetween, wherein the heat transfer fluid is induced to flow with respect to the plurality of fractally varying heat exchange elements such that flow-induced vortices are generated at non-corresponding locations of the plurality of fractally varying heat exchange elements, resulting in a reduced resonance as compared to a corresponding heat exchange device having a plurality of heat exchange elements that produce flow-induced vortices at corresponding locations on the plurality of heat exchange elements.

The present invention relates to a heat exchanger arrangement for use with an air conditioning system of the type comprising a condenser, an expansion device, an evaporator and a compressor connected in a refrigeration circuit filled with refrigerant. The heat exchanger arrangement comprises a collector arrangement for collecting condensate fluid that has condensed on the evaporator as condensate fluid. The heat exchanger arrangement also comprises a first heat exchanger configured for facilitating the transfer of heat from an airflow flowing to the condenser, to condensate received from the evaporator.

A hybrid intercooler system is provided and includes an air cooler that is configured to exchange heat with exterior air passing through an outer wall of a plurality of compressed intake air paths to cool a compressed intake air passing through the inside of the compressed intake air paths. Further, a water cooler is configured to exchange heat between a water cooler coolant enclosing the outer wall of the compressed intake air paths and the compressed intake air which is cooled in the air cooler. The water cooler includes a water cooler coolant tank that encloses the compressed intake air paths.

A double pipe heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The double pipe heat exchanger including an outer pipe and an inner pipe having a first flow channel therein and having an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the outer pipe and inserted into the outer pipe to form a second flow channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe includes a plurality of first grooves formed in a spiral shape in a lengthwise direction at an outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe to enable the second flow channel to have at least partially a spiral shape and at least one second groove each formed in a portion between two first grooves adjacent to an outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe and formed along the first groove.

The present invention relates to a heat pump system for a vehicle. The heat pump system includes a refrigerant-coolant heat exchanger for exchanging heat between refrigerant circulating through a refrigerant circulation line and coolant circulating through electronic units of the vehicle. The heat pump system can operate the heat pump mode even though outdoor air temperature is zero or lower or frosting is formed on the external heat exchanger because waste heat of the electronic units is retrieved through the refrigerant-coolant heat exchanger, thereby further enhancing heating performance and efficiency.

A seal fitting assembly comprises a first block having a first aperture, a second aperture, and a first annular sealing surface surrounding the first aperture. A second block has a third aperture and a fourth aperture. An insert has a fifth aperture, a second annular sealing surface, and a second threaded portion. A first seal structure is disposed between the first annular sealing surface and the second annular sealing surface. An adapter has a sixth aperture, a surface of the adapter defining the sixth aperture including a third threaded portion configured to engage the second threaded portion of the insert. A second seal structure is disposed between the insert and the adapter. A fastener is received in the second aperture of the first block and the fourth aperture of the second block.

Disclosed herein is an exhaust gas cooler. The exhaust gas cooler may include a heat exchange pipe received in cooling water of an engine, and through which exhaust gas of the engine passes to exchange heat with the cooling water, and a plate configured to mount the heat exchange pipe to the engine. The heat exchange pipe may include a first pipe unit communicating with an inlet hole for exhaust gas and changing a flow direction of exhaust gas drawn from the inlet hole, a second pipe unit communicating with the first pipe unit, and a third pipe unit communicating with an exhaust gas return hole and the second pipe and changing a flow direction of exhaust gas to guide the exhaust gas to the return hole. A heat dissipation fin may be provided in an internal passage of the second pipe unit.

An air conditioner in which a supercooler and a receiver are integrated and the cooling receiver of the air conditioner. The cooling receiver of an air conditioner includes a cooling unit configured to include at least one first refrigerant flow channel through which a refrigerant flows and a second refrigerant flow channel which surrounds the outer circumference of part of the at least one first refrigerant flow channel and through which a refrigerant flows and supercools a refrigerant flowing through the first refrigerant flow channel and a receiver unit configured to have at least one end of the cooling unit disposed in the receiver unit and to store the supercooled refrigerant exiting from the first refrigerant flow channel.

The present invention relates to a heat pump system for a vehicle.
