A tank for a heat exchanger includes an extruded tank section having a generally constant extrusion profile extending in a longitudinal direction from a first tank end to a second tank end. A first planar end cap is joined to the extruded tank section near the first tank end, and a second planar end cap is joined to the extruded tank section near the second tank end. Together, the extruded tank section and first and second end caps can at least partially define an internal tank volume. The first and second planar end caps are both arranged at non-perpendicular angles to the longitudinal direction.

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for rapidly and uniformly cooling thermal cycling systems comprising selectively heating or cooling a thermal boundary layer at the edge of a bulk fluid flow.

A flexible manifold adapted for use on a plate-fin heat exchanger core, the flexible manifold including a plurality of individual layers configured to be metallurgically joined to respective ones of a plurality of layers of the plate-fin heat exchanger core, and further including a first end with at least one port adapted to receive or discharge a medium, a second end distal from the first end, adapted to transfer the medium to or from the plurality of individual layers, a plurality of horizontal guide vanes defining the plurality of individual layers, and a plurality vertical members positioned within each of the individual layers. The flexible manifold is configured to be mechanically and thermally compliant, and can be metallurgically joined to the heat exchanger core by brazing or welding.

A boiling cooler includes a boiling part, a condensing part arranged in a substantially horizontal direction with respect to the boiling part, and a connecting pipe that connects the boiling part to the condensing part. The condensing part includes a plurality of stages of refrigerant passages, a first external passage provided between the refrigerant passages, and a second external passage provided on an outer surface of at least one of an uppermost refrigerant passage and a lowermost refrigerant passage.

Clamping device 20 is a clamping device for clamping and fixing core 10, whose interior is divided into multiple flow channels F1, F2 by plates 11 that are stacked, of stacked heat exchanger 1 in stacking direction Z of plates 11, including: two end plates 21, 22 placed on both sides of core 10 in stacking direction Z; connecting member 23 connecting two end plates 21, 22 to keep two end plates 21, 22 apart by a distance greater than a length of core 10 in stacking direction Z; and bolts 24 inserted respectively into thread through-holes 21a, 22a formed on each of end plates 21, 22 for pressing core 10 in stacking direction Z.

A wastewater evaporative separation system can include an evaporation panel assembly having a plurality of individual evaporation panels laterally and releasably joined together, the evaporation panel assembly configured for receiving wastewater from a body of wastewater and evaporating water therefrom as the wastewater cascades down the evaporation panel assembly and contaminants become more concentrated. The system also includes a wastewater delivery system fluidly associated with the body of wastewater with a fluid directing assembly delivering the wastewater from the body of wastewater to an upper portion of the evaporation panel assembly.

The present disclosure evaporation panel systems including plurality of evaporation panels, wherein a first evaporation panel and a second evaporation panel of the plurality of evaporation panels each include evaporation shelves and support columns to support and separate to the evaporation shelves. At least a portion of the support columns include evaporation fins so that wastewater is loadable along the support column. The first evaporation panel and the second evaporation panel in this example are releasably connectable to one another to form a sub-assembly.

A heat exchanger such as a cold plate or ICE plate has an integrated electric heating element provided on an external heater support surface of the heat exchanger. The external heater support surface is directly opposite to an internal surface of the heat exchanger which at least partly defines one or both of the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold. A thermal management system for a vehicle having a plurality of rechargeable battery units includes a circulation loop for circulating a first volume of the heat transfer fluid, and a plurality of battery heat exchangers, including a first heat exchanger with an integrated electric heating element. A sub-loop of the circulation loop includes the internal fluid flow passage of the first heat exchanger, and is adapted for a second, smaller volume of the heat transfer fluid.
