A liquid cooling device includes a first liquid cooling row having a first inflow end and a first outflow end for liquid to flow in a first direction, a second liquid cooling row having a second inflow end and a second outflow end, and a fan. The second liquid cooling row is disposed opposite to the first liquid cooling row. The second inflow end is connected to the first outflow end for the liquid flowing out from the first outflow end to flows in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Airflow generated by the fan sequentially flows through the second and first liquid cooling rows to cool the liquid. A projection device having the liquid cooling device is also provided.

Each of the first flow paths includes a section with a rectangular shape that is elongated in a first direction parallel with an alignment direction of the first flow paths. Each of the first flow paths includes protrusions disposed on an inner surface. The section of each of the first flow paths has a long side having a first length and a short side having a second length, where a ratio of the first length to the second length is between 1.1 and 1.5.

A heat exchanger, such as for example, a condenser coil constructed as a fin and microchannel tube is fluidly connected with a volume constructed and configured to store refrigerant in certain operations, such as for example during a pump down operation. The volume is fluidly connected to a fluid port of the heat exchanger, where the fluid port is an inlet (in the cooling mode) to the heat exchanger, such as the high side condensing section of the heat exchanger. The volume receives refrigerant exiting the heat exchanger from the fluid port in a mode other than a cooling mode, e.g., a pump down operation.

The present application discloses a microchannel flat tube and a microchannel heat exchanger. The microchannel flat tube includes a flat tube body and a row of channels. The row of channels is arranged in the flat tube body along a width direction. The row of channels extends through the flat tube body along a length direction. A cross-section of each channel includes a first width in the width direction and a first height in a thickness direction. The row of channels at least includes a first channel, a second channel and a third channel along the width direction. The first widths of the first channel, the second channel and the third channel are decreased at a fixed ratio, thereby facilitating the control of the thickness of the microchannel flat tube and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the third channel.

A tube for a heat exchanger includes a tube outer body enclosing a tube inner volume, and a corrugated insert received within the tube inner volume. The tube outer body has a pair of broad planar walls joined by arcuate end walls. The corrugated insert defines flow channels through the tube, with opening in flanks of the insert allowing for flow communication between adjacent flow channels. Bypass channels adjacent the arcuate end walls are fluidly isolated from the adjacent flow channels by the absence of such openings in the end flanks. Flow through the bypass channels is obstructed by flow blocks at one or both ends of the bypass channels.

A heat exchanger includes tubes through which a first fluid flows, and a corrugated fin configured to improve a heat exchange efficiency between the first fluid flowing through the tubes and a second fluid flowing outside of the tubes. The corrugated fin includes bending portions connected to adjacent two tubes of the tubes and fin body portions extending between the bending portions. Each of the fin body portions includes grooves on a surface thereof and a protrusion. Each of the grooves extends in an extending direction from one of the adjacent two tubes toward the other. The protrusion is disposed at an intermediate position of at least one of the grooves between the adjacent two tubes in the extending direction. The protrusion protrudes from a bottom of the at least one of the grooves toward the surface.

An inclined heat exchanger for use in a motor vehicle. The heat exchanger contains at least two flat tubes and at least two corrugated fins. The flat tubes and the corrugated fins are stacked alternately one above the other in a height direction (HR) to form a stack. The corrugated fins include a rhombic cross-section. A corrugated fin is also provided for use in the heat exchanger, as well as a method for manufacturing the corrugated fin.

A heat exchanger is configured to exchange heat between a heat medium and an air. The heat exchanger includes a tube through which the heat medium flows therein, and a fin that is formed by bending a metal plate and that is brazed to a surface of the tube. The fin includes a louver. The surface of the tube defines an introducing groove configured to introduce a brazing material melted at brazing from a connecting portion between the tube and the fin to an other portion.

Disclosed are a heat exchanger and an air conditioner including heat transfer tubes configured to guide a refrigerant, and a plurality of fins installed through which the heat transfer tubes penetrate and arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction such that air passes through the fins in the first direction, wherein the plurality of fins each includes a plurality of inclined portions connected to each other in a zigzag form and inclined with respect to the first direction, and a plurality of louvers formed by being bent to form an angle with the inclined portions after portions of the plurality of inclined portions are cut, wherein a width of each of the plurality of louvers in the first direction after being bent is equal to or less than a width of the louvers in the first direction before being bent.
