Described are a high pressure carbamate condenser, urea plant, and urea production process. The high pressure carbamate condenser as described is of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger type with a tube bundle and has a redistribution chamber connected to tubes of the tube bundle and to a duct. The duct extends between the redistribution chamber and the shell.

A multiple-stage fractal heat exchanger includes two or more first fluid flow paths arranged adjacent to one another. Each first fluid flow path is defined by a main inlet channel on one side which diverges into two or more smaller channels to form a central first fluid flow path. In each of the two or more first fluid flow paths. The two or more smaller channels converge away from the central first fluid flow path into a main outlet channel on an opposite side of the first fluid flow path to the main inlet channel. The main outlet channel of each of the two or more first fluid flow paths is configured to be connected to the main inlet channel of an adjacent first fluid flow path.

A shell and tube heat exchanger includes a tube bundle for passage of a first medium from a first inlet to a first outlet. A second medium flows through a flow space which surrounds the tube bundle. The tube bundle includes first tubes communicating with the first inlet, and second tubes communicating with the first outlet and fluidly connected to the first tubes. The first tubes define an outer enveloping surface which is predominantly adjacent to an enveloping surface of the second tubes. A separating body between the first inlet and a tubesheet which separates the flow space from the first medium prevents the first medium from flowing against the tubesheet and includes inlet tubes which bridge a compensation space between the separating body and the tubesheet and which protrude into the first tubes to direct the first medium into the first tubes while bypassing the tubesheet.

An air-conditioner outdoor heat exchanger has a fin, multiple heat transfer pipes thermally connected to the fin, having a flat sectional shape, and configured such that refrigerant flows through header pipes connected to inlet and outlet sides of the heat transfer pipes. The refrigerant flows through the heat transfer pipes in parallel, and when the refrigerant returns from the outlet-side header pipe to the inlet-side header pipe through the heat transfer pipes, the refrigerant returns to the inlet-side header pipe through one of the heat transfer pipes adjacent to another one of the heat transfer pipes through which the refrigerant has flowed when flowing from the inlet-side header pipe to the outlet-side header pipe. At least two systems of refrigerant paths are formed, and the refrigerant flows back and forth in each system between the inlet-side header pipe and the outlet-side header pipe.

A heat exchanger (1) for thermally coupling a first fluid to a second fluid so as to transfer heat and in a fluidically separate manner includes a securing assembly (8) of two cover parts (9) and at least one, preferably a plurality of guide parts (11), through which duct tubes (5) of the heat exchanger (1) pass. The duct tubes (5) extend inside a housing tube (2) along the longitudinal axis of the housing tube (2). The first fluid passes through the housing tube (2) outside of the duct tubes (5), and the second fluid passes through the duct tubes (5). The duct tubes (5) may have circular or flattened cross-sections.

A plate heat exchanger arrangement (1), which comprises a plate pack (2) and an outer casing surrounding the plate pack. At least one partition plate (5) is arranged between the heat exchange plates of the plate pack, which divides the plate pack to the separate plate pack parts, wherein the plate heat exchanger arrangement comprises an inlet connection and an outlet connection for each plate pack part, which are arranged in connection with the inner parts of the plate pairs of said plate pack part. At least one inlet or outlet connection of the plate pack parts comprises a connection pipe (8), which is arranged inside a flow passage (10b) of the plate pack part between the end plate of the outer casing and the partition plate (5), wherein an end of said connection pipe is attached to said partition plate (5) for forming a connection to the flow passage of said plate pack part and a second end of said connection pipe (8) elongates through an end plate (4a) of the outer casing.

A heat exchanger according to the present disclosure includes plural heat transfer tubes disposed with a specified spacing from each other in the up and down direction, and a distributor configured to distribute refrigerant to the heat transfer tubes. The distributor includes a body part, and plural flow-splitting parts, the body part including a first passage in which refrigerant flows upward, the flow-splitting parts communicating with the first passage and with one of the heat transfer tubes. The flow-splitting parts include one or more first flow-splitting parts each communicating with a first heat transfer tube, which is a higher positioned heat transfer tube. The flow-splitting parts include one or more second heat transfer tubes each communicating with a second heat transfer tube positioned below the first heat transfer tube. The refrigerant inlet of the first flow-splitting part through which refrigerant enters from the first passage communicates with the first passage at a location below the refrigerant inlet of the second flow-splitting part that communicates with the first passage at the highest location.

A heat exchanger duct includes a wall having ends spaced along a central axis. An inlet manifold is positioned within a downstream portion of the duct at a radially outward location. An outlet manifold is positioned within an upstream portion of the duct at a radially outward location. At least one of the inlet and outlet manifolds extend at least 10 degrees around the circumference of the duct. A central manifold is disposed between the inlet and outlet manifolds, and radially inwardly of the inlet and outlet manifolds. Heat exchanger entrance elements extend radially inward from the inlet manifold to the central manifold, and heat exchanger exit elements extend radially outward from the central manifold to the outlet manifold. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
