A combination heat exchanger comprises a first heat exchanger assembly and a second heat exchanger assembly. The first heat exchanger assembly includes a first end tank, a second end tank, and a first heat exchanger core including a plurality of first heat exchanger tubes extending longitudinally in a first direction. The second heat exchanger assembly includes a third end tank, a fourth end tank, and a second heat exchanger core including a plurality of second heat exchanger tubes extending longitudinally in the first direction. A first coupling includes a first attachment portion rigidly coupled to the first end tank, a second attachment portion rigidly coupled to the third end tank, and a thermal expansion portion extending between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion. The first coupling allows for relative translation between the first end tank and the third end tank in the first direction.
Ion exchanger
An ion exchanger includes a case and an ion exchange resin. The case includes an inflow hole into which a refrigerant flows and an outflow hole out of which the refrigerant flows. The ion exchange resin is arranged in the case to remove ions from the refrigerant. The inflow hole and the outflow hole are located at a lower end of the case. The case accommodates a tube extending in a vertical direction and connecting to the outflow hole. The ion exchange resin is located between an inner wall of the case and an outer wall of the tube. The inflow hole is formed so that the refrigerant flows through the inflow hole into the case and evenly into the ion exchange resin from a lower end surface of the ion exchange resin.
AUXILIARY HEAT EXCHANGER
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward a heat exchanger that includes an evaporator coil section disposed at least partially within a first flow structure configured to direct a first flow of air across the evaporator coil section, a condenser coil section fluidly coupled with the evaporator coil section and disposed at least partially within a second flow structure configured to direct a second flow of air across the condenser coil section, and an auxiliary heat exchanger fluidly coupled with the evaporator coil section, where the auxiliary heat exchanger is external to the first flow structure.
COMPLEX HEAT EXCHANGER
A complex heat exchanger capable of working in different air conditioning modes by controlling flow of coolant in a refrigerant-coolant secondary loop system linked with a primary loop of refrigerant circulation. The heat exchanger is capable to perform heating or cooling operation with the flowing coolant being heated or cooled by the refrigerant, while two heat exchanger cores are disposed in parallel, and a path regulating manifold is provided to connect inlet and discharge ports to allow the coolant to flow sequentially or independently through two heat exchangers. In cooling or heating mode, coolant flows sequentially through two heat exchangers to maximize the heat exchange efficiency. In a dehumidifying mode, the low-temperature coolant and the high-temperature coolant respectively flow through the two heat exchangers independently to smoothly implement the dehumidification. Therefore, the single complex heat exchanger can perform the heating, cooling, and dehumidifying operations with maximum efficiency.
HEAT EXCHANGER, RADIANT TUBE TYPE HEATING DEVICE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger includes a hollow heat exchanger main body that is enclosed in a radiant tube, and a heat conductor that is disposed on outer periphery of the heat exchanger main body. The heat exchanger performs heat exchange between a first gas flowing in between the radiant tube and the heat exchanger main body and a second gas flowing in hollow interior of the heat exchanger main body, and the heat exchanger comprises a turbulence flow generation promoting unit configured to promote generation of a turbulence flow from the first gas flowing in between the radiant tube and the heat exchanger main body, the turbulence flow generation promoting unit being disposed on the outer periphery of the heat exchanger main body without welding.
Heat exchanger, fuel cell assembly and method
A heat exchanger for a fuel cell is disclosed. The heat exchanger includes at least two tube bodies that are arranged at a distance from one another and are in each case structured so that a fluid can flow through internally and so that air can flow around externally. A water channel, through which water can flow fluidically separated from the fluid, is arranged in or on at least one tube body. At least one opening, via which the water channel communicates fluidically with an external environment of the at least one tube body, is provided on the at least one tube body. The at least one opening is arranged in the at least one tube body so that at least one of the tube bodies can be wetter with water, which is guided through the water channel and escapes the water channel through the at least one opening.
