A marine drive is for propelling a vessel in body of water. The marine drive has a powerhead, a crankcase on the powerhead, and a cooling system that pumps a first flow of cooling water from the body of water through a powerhead cooling conduit for cooling the powerhead and in parallel pumps a second flow of cooling water from the body of water through a crankcase cooler for cooling the crankcase and lubricant in the crankcase. A valve controls the second flow of the cooling water to the crankcase cooler. The valve is normally positioned in a closed position, which inhibits the second flow of cooling water to the crankcase cooler and thereby reduces condensation of water from the lubricant in the crankcase. The valve is moved into an open position upon operation of the powerhead at or above a threshold speed, which permits the second flow of cooling water to the crankcase cooler and thereby cools the lubricant in the crankcase. Corresponding methods of operating the marine drive and cooling system are provided.

A plate-like fluid container for guiding a fluid, container having two at least partially abutting layers, an inlet for inflow of the fluid into the fluid container and an outlet for outflow of the fluid from the fluid container, in particular at least intermittently continuous inflow and outflow of the fluid, whereby, between the layers along at least one recess present at least in one of the layers, at least one fluid channel associated with the recess is present for guiding a fluid from the inlet to the outlet.

A heat exchanger includes a fluid flow passage with a wavy fin turbulizer. The turbulizer includes sidewalls extending lengthwise along a fluid flow direction between its first and second ends, and the sidewalls are spaced apart across the width of the turbulizer. Each flow channel of the turbulizer is defined between two adjacent sidewalls. Each sidewall has a smoothly and continuously curved profile with repeating wave forms being defined along the length of the turbulizer. The continuously curved profile of the sidewalls is defined by a non-circular shape, such as elliptical, sinusoidal, parabolic and hyperbolic shapes. The radius of curvature changes constantly and reaches a maximum at or near the inflection point between adjacent crests and troughs of the profile, to provide improved particle pass-through, lower pressure drop, and enhanced plateability of internal surfaces.

The present disclosure relates to a wick structure accommodated in a container of a heat pipe having plural foils and a structure holding portion for fixing the foils. The respective foils are held by the structure holding portion, whereby the foils are positions and arrange in parallel. The foil is connected to the other foils including the other adjacent foils via the structure holding portion.

A bipolar plate for a fuel cell, is provided having an anode plate with an anode side and a coolant side, wherein there is formed on the anode side a first structuring in order to form an anode flow field, and a cathode plate with a cathode side and a coolant side, wherein there is formed on the cathode side a second structuring to form a cathode flow field, there being arranged between the anode plate and the cathode plate structural elements to form a coolant flow field, being contacted from the coolant sides of the anode plate and the cathode plate, and having an optimized pressure distribution in a fuel cell stack and an increased stability as compared to the prior art. The structural elements consist of an elastic material. A fuel cell stack and a vehicle including such features are also provided.

A heat transfer device includes at least one channel including an upstream zone, a downstream zone, and a mixing zone intermediate the upstream and downstream zones. The upstream zone includes an upstream separating configuration arranged to separate an inflow to the upstream zone into a plurality of upstream sub-flows. The mixing zone includes a converging configuration arranged to converge at least two upstream sub-flows into the mixing zone to form a primary mixed flow.

An integrated condensing heat exchanger and water separator includes a microporous graphite plate, one or more water passages defined at a first side of the microporous graphite plate, and one or more air passages defined at a second side of the microporous graphite plate opposite the first side. An air inlet operably is connected to the one or more air passages to direct a flow of air through the one or more air passages at a first pressure, and a water inlet is operably connected to the one or more water passages to direct a flow of water through the one or more water passages at a second pressure lower than the first pressure. The microporous graphite plate is configured such that moisture condenses from the flow of air onto the second side and is wicked through the microporous graphite plate to the one or more water passages.

A heat transport device in a container having an internal space filled with a working fluid, includes an evaporator which causes the working fluid to evaporate, a condenser separated from the evaporator and which causes the working fluid to condense, and an intermediate part arranged between the evaporator and the condenser and having at least one main groove which extends continuously from the condenser to the evaporator through the intermediate part. A part or entirety of main grooves among the at least one main groove is a sloped groove having a sloped groove bottom that, when viewing a cross section along an extending direction of the main groove, slopes from a groove bottom position of a groove portion positioned at the condenser towards a groove bottom position of the groove portion positioned at the evaporator, so as to approach a bottom surface of the heat transport device.

A plate for a heat exchanger, intended to be arranged in a stack of plates, includes: —a main panel having a first edge and a second edge, opposite the first edge, and at least one first fin protruding from the main panel and capable of delimiting, with the main panel and an adjacent plate, a fluid flow path, wherein the first fin extends from the first edge of the main panel towards the second edge, without extending up to the second edge, so as to provide a first fluid passage between one end of the first fin and the second transverse edge where the fluid flow path forms a first baffle.
