A heat exchanger includes: a first heat transfer tube unit including first heat transfer tubes arranged in parallel along a first direction within a horizontal plane; and a second heat transfer tube unit including second heat transfer tubes arranged in parallel with one another along a second direction that intersects the first direction within the horizontal plane. Each of the first heat transfer tubes and the second heat transfer tubes includes: straight portions arranged in parallel in a vertical direction; and one or more curved portions that make end portions of the straight portions communicate with each other. The straight portions of the first heat transfer tube unit and the straight portions of the first heat transfer tube unit are stacked on each other alternately.

A substantially linear ceramic or metallic radiant of ellipsoidal or polygonal cross section is placed proximate furnace tubes or coils in the radiant section of a fired heater to increase the radiant heat directed to the surface of the tubes or coils.

A gas turbine engine includes a fan assembly, a compressor assembly, a combustion chamber, a turbine assembly, a bypass duct conveying rearward a bypass airstream driven by the fan assembly when the gas turbine engine is in use, a fairing extending across at least a portion of the bypass duct downstream of the fan assembly, and a heat exchanger having an inlet fluidly connected to the compressor assembly and an outlet fluidly connected to a pneumatic actuator of the gas turbine engine. The fairing has a leading edge and a trailing edge. The heat exchanger is disposed adjacent the trailing edge of the fairing.

Planar element adapted to form, when stacked with a plurality of other such elements, a heat exchanger, comprising an inlet region, a first zone adapted to direct flow from the inlet region towards a second zone, a second zone comprising at least one cutout in the plane of the planar element, adapted to accommodate a cooling core, a third zone, adapted to direct flow from the second zone towards an outlet region and an outlet region, the planar element comprising a first blockage protrusion disposed along a first group of said side edges, the first group comprising at least a side edge adjacent to said outlet region, and a second blockage protrusion disposed along a second group of said side edges, the second group comprising at least a side edge adjacent to said inlet region.

A heat exchanger for transferring heat between two fluids with different temperature includes a first heat exchange element having at least one core extending longitudinally through the heat exchange element. The at least one core defines a core cavity that is configured with an inlet port and an outlet port to receive a first fluid flowing therethrough. The heat exchange element includes ribs extending continuously substantially in parallel with the at least one core along the whole length of the core. The ribs extend radially outwardly from the core and are exposed to contact with a second fluid that flows along said ribs. Each rib is divided into at least two radially extending fins at a radial distance from the core. Each fin extends to a proximity of an outer casing surrounding the first heat exchanger element or a proximity of fins of an adjacent heat exchanger element.

A heat exchanger comprises a heat exchange container that conducts heat exchange on an inside, a spray nozzle that sprays liquid to be heat-exchanged into the heat exchange container, an injection nozzle that injects gas to mist of the sprayed liquid to be heat-exchanged, and a discharge outlet located on an upstream side of the injected gas to discharge the liquid to be heat-exchanged.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer tubes extending in a first direction and aligned in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and a plurality of fins disposed in the first direction. The fins each include a plurality of fin main bodies aligned in the second direction, and a bridging portion connecting two adjacent ones of the fin main bodies. At least one of the fin main bodies is provided with a through hole next to the bridging portion in the second direction.

Disclosed is a Once-Through Steam Generator (OTSG) coil (52) and method, comprising a plurality of vertically arranged serpentine conduits (90) in a horizontal heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) that replaces a traditional natural circulation HP evaporator for producing supercritical steam. The OTSG comprises a lower equalization header system (130) that promotes system stability in multiple operating conditions. The equalization header allows a partial flow of fluid from the lower serpentine curved flow path (120) through an equalization conduit (125) into the equalization header (130) Disclosed also are: a flow restriction device in serpentine conduits; drainage structure from serpentine conduits through the equalization header, a drainage expansion section to accommodate stresses, and drainage bypass connections; and flow through serpentine conduits in upstream and downstream directions, mixed flow directions and longitudinally staggered directions.

The present disclosure relates to a heat exchanger coil prototyping system. The heat exchanger coil prototyping system includes a heat exchanger coil with a first conduit and a second conduit that carry a refrigerant. The first conduit includes a first open end and a second open end. The second conduit includes a third open end and a fourth open end. A fin couples to the first conduit and the second conduit. A quick release connector system also couples to the first and second conduits. The quick release connector system includes a first quick release connector assembly that couples to the first open end of the first conduit and to the third open end of the second conduit to route the refrigerant between the first and second conduits. A second quick release connector assembly couples to the second conduit.
