Heat exchanger, air conditioner, and apparatus for manufacturing heat exchanger

A heat exchanger includes a flat tube and a plurality of fins. The plurality of fins are arranged on the flat tube and inclined with respect to a longitudinal direction of a cross section perpendicular to an axis of the flat tube. The plurality of fins may be inclined at different angles with respect to the axis of the flat tube. The flat tube may include a straight portion on which the plurality of fins are arranged, and a bend on which at least one fin other than the plurality of fins is arranged. The at least one fin extends perpendicularly to the axis of the flat tube.

A heat exchanger including a plurality of parallel fins, and at least one tube passing through the parallel fins, wherein the tube carries a fluid that exchanges heat with air passing through the heat exchanger. The parallel fins each include a plurality of air deflecting members formed therein. Each air deflecting member is bent substantially orthogonally relative to a planar surface of each fin, and each air deflecting member is configured to direct the air passing through the heat exchanger to increase turbulence of the air, and to impinge the air against adjacent parallel fins, and to balance air flow across the heat exchanger and decrease maldistribution of the air flow through the heat exchanger.

A heat exchanger includes: a partition wall that separates two fluids of different temperature; and multiple plate-shaped fins formed on at least one surface of the partition wall and each having a pair of heat transfer surfaces. The partition wall and the multiple fins are made of a same metal material to constitute an integrally molded product. The multiple fins each have a curved part and are arranged to be spaced from one another in a direction intersecting with the pair of heat transfer surfaces. Each heat transfer surface of the pair of heat transfer surfaces is formed with multiple grooves having a depth of 100 μm to 400 μm in a thickness direction of each fin.

Thermal management system and method

A thermal management system includes a plurality of thermal management assemblies. Each of the thermal management assemblies has a monolithic foil structure having a body with an external surface and a differently shaped and opposing internal surface. The external surface forms an outer profile and the internal surface forming an internal conduit with the outer profile and the internal conduit having different shapes. The monolithic foil structure is configured to physically isolate a first fluid flowing along the external surface from a second fluid flowing in the internal conduit. The body is configured to transfer thermal energy between the first fluid flowing along the external surface and the second fluid flowing in the internal conduit.

Exhaust hood

An exhaust hood may have an exhaust inlet; a shroud having a lower edge and being movable, the shroud being configured to define an enclosed space over and adjacent a cooking surface, the enclosed space being in communication with the exhaust inlet. The shroud is movable to a first position providing clearance between the cooking surface and the shroud lower edge and a second position providing substantially less than the clearance provided by the first position. A vertical jet at the lower edge is aimed upwardly and along an inside of the shroud when the shroud is in the second position and the vertical jet is in the enclosed space. A horizontal jet is provided at a top of the shroud and aimed along an inside of the shroud when the shroud is in the second position and the vertical jet being in the enclosed space.
