A heat exchanger (100) and an air-conditioning system. The heat exchanger (100) comprises: a group of first heat exchange tubes (T1) for forming a first loop (C1); a group of second heat exchange tubes (T2) for forming a second loop (C2); and a group of fins (3), at least a plurality of fins (3) in the group of fins (3) being in contact with both at least a plurality of first heat exchange tubes (1) in the group of first heat exchange tubes (T1), and at least a plurality of second heat exchange tubes (T2) in the group of second heat exchange tubes (T2). If one loop of an air-conditioning system having two loops is closed, heat exchange regions of the fins for the loop can be used in the other loop, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of a heat exchanger.

A bent heat exchanger is provided. The bent heat exchanger includes: a first header and a second header; a plurality of flat tubes, two ends of the flat tube being connected to the first header and the second header respectively; and fins, each disposed between adjacent flat tubes, extending in a corrugated shape along a length direction of the flat tube. The first header and the second header each have a slot running through a wall thereof and a protrusion arranged to an inner surface of the wall thereof. The protrusion includes an arc portion connected to the edge of the slot, and an extension portion protruding inwards from the arc portion. An arc radius of the arc portion is less than or equal to and greater than 0.6 times a thickness of a wall of the corresponding first header or second header.

There are provided a heat exchanger having a flat tube and a fin bonded together, without causing melting of a coating material covering the fin, and a method of manufacturing thereof. A heat exchanger includes: a flat tube having a flat cross-sectional shape and covered with an anticorrosive layer; and a fin bonded to the flat tube with a bonding agent on a first surface of the anticorrosive layer interposed therebetween, and covered with a coating material, the first surface of the anticorrosive layer having been roughened, and the bonding agent being fixed to the roughened first surface.

Mg and Bi are contained in each of a first fillet in a first braze joining portion in which a tube and a fin join, a second fillet in a second braze joining portion in which the tube and a header plate join, and a third fillet in a third braze joining portion in which the header plate and a tank body join. A concentration of Mg of each of the first to third fillets is from 0.2% or more to 2.0% or less by mass. When the tube includes a brazing material layer, a concentration of Mg of the tube at its plate thickness center is from 0.1% or more to 1.0% or less by mass. When the fin includes a brazing material layer, a concentration of Mg of the fin at its plate thickness center is from 0.2% or more to 1.0% or less by mass.

A heat exchanger, a heat exchanger unit, and a refrigeration cycle apparatus in which frost melt water is inhibited from reaching an upper surface of a header include: heat transfer tubes arranged in parallel with each other; a fin connected to one of the heat transfer tubes; and a header connected to the heat transfer tubes and having a header end surface along a direction in which the heat transfer tubes are arranged in parallel. The fin has an edge facing the header and extends in a first direction perpendicular to the axes of the heat transfer tubes. An end portion of the fin projects in the first direction relative to the header end surface, and another end portion of the fin in the first direction is positioned closer in the first direction to the heat transfer tubes than the header end surface is.

A heat exchanger includes: a plurality of flat tubes each of which has a refrigerant flow passage through which refrigerant flows in an up-down direction, the plurality of flat tubes being arranged parallel to each other at intervals; a plurality of fins each of which is provided between adjacent flat tubes of the plurality of flat tubes; an upper header to which an upper end portion of each of the plurality of flat tubes is connected; and a lower header to which an a lower end portion of each of the plurality of flat tubes is connected. Lower end portions of the plurality of fins are not joined to the lower header, and a lower gap is formed between the lower end portions of the plurality of fins and the lower header.

The present invention relates to an air-cooled condenser apparatus for condensing a steam flow exiting a turbine from for example a power plant. The air-cooled condenser apparatus comprises a series of condenser modules, each module having a series of compact delta-type heat exchanger units and a series of fans. The air-cooled condenser apparatus further comprises a series of independent frame structures FRS(m) wherein the number of frame structures has a lower limit depending on the number of modules. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing an air-cooled condenser apparatus comprising steps of manufacturing the delta-type heat exchanger units in the factory, placing the units in a container for transportation and erecting the air-cooled condenser apparatus at a site of installation.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a climate management system that includes a heat exchanger having a first set of microchannel coils fluidly coupled to a first circuit of the climate management system and a second set of microchannel coils fluidly coupled to a second circuit of the climate management system, where the first circuit and the second circuit are fluidly separate from one another, and where the first set of microchannel coils and the second set of microchannel coils are disposed in an alternating arrangement along a length of the heat exchanger such that the first set of microchannel coils and the second set of microchannel coils are interlaced in the heat exchanger.

An integrated exhaust system apparatus to be mounted on an engine is provided. The apparatus includes an apparatus housing; an engine interface; an exhaust system interface with a first exhaust apparatus outlet configured to direct a first portion of exhaust through the housing wall; an EGR interface with a second exhaust apparatus outlet configured to direct a second portion of exhaust through the apparatus housing wall; and an exhaust manifold arranged within the apparatus interior. The exhaust manifold includes a first manifold outlet configured to direct the first portion of exhaust out of the manifold interior and a second manifold outlet configured to direct the second portion of exhaust out of the manifold interior. An EGR cooler is arranged within the apparatus interior with passages fluidly coupled such that the second portion of exhaust is directed out of the apparatus housing via the second exhaust apparatus outlet.
