COOLING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
A cooling apparatus (10) for a vehicle includes air-cooling first and second heat exchangers (12, 14) that are placed beside each other. A coolant flow-out portion (32) of the first heat exchanger (12) from which a first coolant which is a cooling target of the first heat exchanger (12) flows out and a coolant flow-out portion (36) of the second heat exchanger (14) from which a second coolant which is a cooling target of the second heat exchanger (14) flows out are placed at ends at opposite positions separated along a diagonal line on a parallel placement surface of the two heat exchangers (12, 14). A first cooling fan (20) is placed opposing the coolant flow-out portion (32) of the first heat exchanger (12), and a second cooling fan (22) is placed opposing the coolant flow-out portion (36) of the second heat exchanger (14). With this configuration, cooling performance of two air-cooling heat exchangers placed beside each other can be improved.

A multi-slab microchannel heat exchanger is disclosed. The heat exchanger includes a first slab having a first inlet header and a first outlet header, a second slab including a second inlet header and a second outlet header, a first inlet connector fluidly connected to the first inlet header, a first outlet connector fluidly connected to the first outlet header, a second inlet connector fluidly connected to the second inlet header, and a second outlet connector fluidly connected to the second outlet header. The first slab and the second slab are arranged successively in a direction along a length of the heat exchanger. The first inlet connector, the first outlet connector, the second inlet connector, and the second outlet connector are disposed at a same end of the heat exchanger.
Heat exchanger assemblies for electronic devices and related methods
Heat exchanger assemblies for electronic devices and related methods are disclosed. A heat exchanger assembly may include a heat transfer body that has a face that forms open passageways, and a cover structure attached to the heat transfer body that encloses the open passageways, thereby forming enclosed fluid conduits. Heat exchanger assemblies as described herein may be thermally coupled to a center waveguide section of a spatial power-combining device. Related methods include forming open passageways by selectively removing material from a face of a heat transfer body. Multiple heat transfer bodies may be formed simultaneously by forming multiple groups or patterns of open passageways across a larger area of a heat transfer body material, and subsequently singulating the heat transfer body material into multiple heat transfer bodies. Cover structures as previously described may be formed on the heat transfer bodies before or after singulation.
HEAT EXCHANGER AND REFRIGERATION CYCLE APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME
An outdoor heat exchanger includes a first heat exchange module and a second heat exchange module, as heat exchange modules each including a plurality of heat transfer tubes and a securing connector that holds the heat transfer tubes. The securing connector has a holder plate holding one end of each of the heat transfer tubes, and a pair of side plates extending from the holder plate away from the heat transfer tubes. The pair of side plates of the securing connector of the first heat exchange module is joined to the pair of side plates of the securing connector of the second heat exchange module. The securing connectors of both of the first heat exchange module and the second heat exchange module define a space, and the heat transfer tubes of each of the first heat exchange module and the second heat exchange module communicate with the space.
CONDENSER ARRANGEMENT FOR HVAC SYSTEM
A condenser module of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a first slab having a first plurality of tubes configured to receive a refrigerant from a compressor of the HVAC system. The first plurality of tubes is arrayed along a first dimension of the first slab. The condenser module also includes a second slab that has a second plurality of tubes configured to receive the refrigerant from the compressor. The second plurality of tubes is arrayed along a second dimension of the second slab, the second slab is oriented at an acute angle relative to the first slab, and the second dimension is greater than the first dimension.
AIR HANDLER
The present disclosure provides an air handler having a cabinet and a plurality of refrigerant tubes, where each refrigerant tube has a diameter of 7 mm. The air handler includes a V-shaped round tube plate fin heat exchanger disposed within the cabinet and including a plurality of louvered fins. Each louvered fin defines a plurality of holes configured to receive the refrigerant tubes. The plurality of holes defines a linear offset configuration of the louvered fin. The air handler further includes an axial fan housing disposed within the cabinet and located downstream of the V-shaped round tube plate fin heat exchanger, a distributor in fluid communication with the refrigerant tubes, and a plurality of feeder tubes extending between the distributor and the refrigerant tubes. Each feeder tube is configured to allow flow of refrigerant therethrough.
TANK STRUCTURE OF HEAT EXCHANGER
In a tank structure of a heat exchanger having a narrow width header plate, to reduce thermal stress generated in a tube on the outermost side of the header plate in a lengthwise direction. Insertion holes, except for end-portion tube insertion holes at least located at end portions of a header plate in the lengthwise direction, are linked with deformation prevention beads formed along the lengthwise direction of the header plate, and the end-portion tube insertion holes are not linked with the deformation prevention beads.
Three-stage heat exchanger for an air-cooled condenser
The present invention relates to a V-shaped heat exchanger for condensing exhaust steam from a turbine. The V-shaped heat exchanger comprises primary, secondary and tertiary single-row condensing tubes placed in a V-shaped geometry. A steam supply manifold supplies the exhaust steam to lower ends of the primary tubes and steam that is not condensed in the primary tubes is collected at upper ends of the primary tubes and transported to the secondary tubes using top connecting manifolds. Steam that is not condensed in the secondary tubes is further transported to the tertiary tubes using a bottom connection manifold. The tertiary tubes are coupled at their ends with an evacuation manifold for evacuating non-condensable gases.
HEAT EXCHANGER ASSEMBLY HAVING AT LEAST ONE MULTI-PASS HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEAT EXCHANGER ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to a heat exchanger assembly with at least one multi-pass heat exchanger, comprising a first distributor (1) with a first connection part (1a) for connecting to a fluid line (9), a second distributor (2) with a second connection part (2a) for connecting to a fluid line (9), and at least one first deflection distributor (4), as well as a plurality of tube lines (5) through which a fluid, in particular water, can flow, wherein the first distributor (1) and the second distributor (2) are arranged at one end (A) of the heat exchanger assembly, the deflection distributor (4) is arranged at the opposite end (B) and the tube lines (5) extend from the one end (A) to the opposite end (B), and wherein the first connection part (1a) is arranged at a lowest point (T) or at least near to the lowest point (T) of the first distributor (1) and the second connection piece (2a) is arranged at a lowest point (T) or at least near to the lowest point (T) of the second distributor (2).
