20190293238 · 2019-09-26 ·

A system and method is provided for transferring liquid argon from a bulk storage tank to a transport tank in which liquid argon is pumped through a tube arrangement within a heat exchanger and the tube arrangement is contacted by liquid nitrogen at a temperature less than the temperature of the liquid argon so that heat transfers from the liquid argon to the liquid nitrogen, thereby reducing the temperature, density and pressure of the liquid nitrogen prior to exiting the heat exchanger.

HINGED BAFFLE ASSEMBLY FOR HEAT RECOVERY STEAM GENERATOR

Hinged baffle assemblies for heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) are disclosed. The baffle assemblies may include a baffle plate for directing exhaust fluid through a casing of the HRSG. The baffle plate may include first and second ends, a first surface exposed to the exhaust fluid flowing through the casing, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The baffle assemblies may also include a hinge component coupled to the first end of the baffle plate and positioned within/fixed relative to the casing. Additionally, the baffle assemblies may include a first diverter plate positioned adjacent to the second end of the baffle plate. The first diverter plate may directly contact the first surface of the baffle plate and may aid in directing the exhaust fluid through the casing of the HRSG.

GANGED PLATE STACK IN CAST PLATE FIN HEAT EXCHANGER

A plate fin heat exchanger includes a first cast plate assembly includes at least two plate portions separated by at least one cooling channel. Each of the two plate portions include a plurality of internal passages extending between a corresponding plurality of inlets and outlets. A common inlet perimeter surrounds the plurality of inlets from each of the two plate portions and an outlet perimeter surrounds the plurality of outlets from each of the two plate portions. An inlet manifold is attached at an inlet joint to the inlet perimeter. An outlet manifold is attached at an outlet joint to the outlet perimeter. A method is also disclosed.

Heat exchanger

A heat exchanger includes tubes and a header tank. The tubes are arranged in parallel with each other, and fluid flows in the tubes. The header tank is disposed at end portions of the tubes in a longitudinal direction of the tubes and extends in a direction in which the tubes are arranged in parallel with each other to communicate with the tubes. The header tank includes a core plate, a resin tank main body part, and a resiliently-deformable sealing member. The tubes are joined to the core plate. The tank main body part is fixed to the core plate. The core plate includes a receiving part at which the sealing member is disposed. The tank main body part is fixed to the core plate with the sealing member clamped between an end part of the tank main body part on the core plate-side and the receiving part. The receiving part is disposed on a farther side from the tubes in the longitudinal direction of the tubes than the end portions of the tubes in the longitudinal direction of the tubes.

Heat exchanger having fitting assembly

A fitting assembly containing a fitting, a first plate and a second plate are provided. The first plate has a first plate wall and a first-plate aperture, the first-plate wall being positioned along an edge of the first plate defining the first-plate aperture. The second plate has a second-plate wall and a second-plate aperture, the second-plate wall being positioned along an edge of the second plate defining the second-plate aperture. The fitting assembly having the fitting being sandwiched between the first plate wall and the second plate wall. Also disclosed is a heat exchanger having the fitting assembly as described herein, and a method of forming the fitting assembly.

Connector alignment design for servers
11997831 · 2024-05-28 · ·

A connector assembly may include a plate to be attached to a server chassis of an electronic rack; a connection module; and a moveable alignment module having a guiding structure and configured to be coupled to the plate via the connection module. The moveable alignment module may house one or more fluid blind mate connectors that fluidly connect to one or more cold plates that are thermally coupled to one or more electronic server components of the server chassis. The connection module may enable the moveable alignment module to be moveable when the guiding structure engages a distribution manifold of the electronic rack to align and couple the one or more fluid blind mate connectors to either at least one of a supply line connector or a return line connector of the distribution manifold, thereby enabling fluid communication between the server chassis and the distribution manifold.
