A module for constructing therefrom a heat exchanger is provided. The module includes two manifolds and a plurality of parallely arranged mats spanning between the manifolds. Each mat includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes arranged so as to define a plane, the heat exchange tubes being in fluid communication with the manifolds and spanning therebetween. Each of the manifolds includes selectively sealable end openings formed in facing ends thereof and defining a longitudinal flow path substantially perpendicular to the tubes and parallel with the planes defined thereby. Each of the manifolds further includes selectively sealable side openings on facing sides thereof and each defining a lateral flow path substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal flow path and to the planes defined by the tubes.

In a method for producing a thermal component (1, 1) a pipe (2, 2,2) having a fluid channel (3, 3, 3) with an inner profile (4, 4) is provided, and a swirler (6, 6) having an outer profile (5, 5) corresponding to the inner profile (4, 4) is inserted into the fluid channel (3, 3, 3). A thermal component (1, 1) manufactured in this manner includes a pipe (2, 2, 2) having a fluid channel (3, 3, 3), and a swirler. The fluid channel (3, 3, 3) of the pipe (2, 2, 2) includes an inner profile (4, 4) corresponding to an outer profile (5, 5) of the swirler (6, 6), and the swirler is disposed in the fluid channel (3, 3, 3).

The evaporator unit includes an ejector, a discharge-side evaporator, and a suction-side evaporator. The discharge-side evaporator includes discharge-side tubes and a discharge-side tank. The discharge-side tank defines a discharge-side distribution chamber therein which distributes refrigerant to the discharge-side tubes. A partition plate is disposed in the discharge-side distribution chamber and divides the discharge-side distribution chamber into an ejector-side distribution chamber and a tube-side distribution chamber. The partition plate includes a communication hole through which the ejector-side distribution chamber and the tube-side distribution chamber are in fluid communication with each other. The partition plate includes a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, a fourth portion, and a fifth portion. The communication hole has an open area that is larger in each of the first portion, the third portion and the fifth portion than in each of the second portion and the fourth portion.

A first header tank and a second header tank of a cold-storage heat exchanger are located away from each other. Refrigerant tubes include refrigerant passages through which the first header tank and the second header tank communicate with each other. The refrigerant tubes are spaced away from each other. Cold energy containers storing cold energy storage members are provided to close air passage portions defined between the refrigerant pipes. A region including the air passage portions are separated into a first region including a center part of the region and a second region that is remaining part of the region. A proportion of the cold energy containers in the second region is larger than that in the first region.

A tube sheet for a thermal transfer device can include a body having a plurality of apertures that traverse therethrough, where the plurality of apertures are configured to receive a plurality of tubes of the thermal transfer device. The tube sheet can also include an outer perimeter defining the body, where the outer perimeter has at least one first recess feature disposed therein. The at least one first recess feature can have a first shape and a first size, where the first shape is any shape aside from a semi-circle.

A header pipe (1) for a heat exchanger (100), and a heat exchanger (100). The header pipe (1) comprises: a first header pipe portion (11) extending in the axial direction of the header pipe (1) and having a first edge (111) and a second edge (112) that extend in the axial direction; and a second header pipe portion (12) extending in the axial direction of the header pipe (1) and having a first edge (121) and a second edge (122) that extend in the axial direction, wherein the first edge (111) of the first header pipe portion (11) is connected to the first edge (121) of the second header pipe portion (12), and the second edge (112) of the first header pipe portion (11) is connected to the second edge (122) of the second header pipe portion (12). The header pipe (1) of the present invention is easy to assemble, and improves the welding efficiency and welding quality.

The present invention relates to a cold reserving heat exchanger, and more particularly; to a cold reserving heat exchanger capable of improving cooling comfortableness of a user and minimizing energy and a time consumed at the time of again performing cooling by storing a cold reserving material in a second-row tube among tubes disposed in three rows in a width direction and allowing a cooling fluid moving in a first-row tube and a third-row tube among the tubes to be movable between the first-row tube and the third-row tube to effectively store cold air of the cooling fluid and discharge the cold air at the time of stopping an engine to thus prevent a rapid rise in an internal temperature of a vehicle.

The invention discloses a liquid cooling radiator for liquid coolers, which includes a shunt box, a liquid collection box and heat dissipation pipes connected between the shunt box and the liquid collection box. The inside of the shunt box is divided into a hot liquid inlet chamber and a cold liquid outlet chamber by a heat-resistant space. The heat-resistant space is composed of a hot liquid baffle and a cold liquid baffle combined in the shunt box at intervals to form the heat-resistant space between the hot liquid baffle and the cold liquid baffle, which can prevent the hot liquid baffle and the cold liquid baffle from contacting each other to transfer heat, and prevent the cooled cold liquid from being affected by the hot liquid before flowing out of the liquid cold row, causing the problem of heating up.

A tube sheet for a thermal transfer device can include a body having a plurality of apertures that traverse therethrough, where the plurality of apertures are configured to receive a plurality of tubes of the thermal transfer device. The tube sheet can also include an outer perimeter defining the body, where the outer perimeter has at least one first recess feature disposed therein. The at least one first recess feature can have a first shape and a first size, where the first shape is any shape aside from a semi-circle.
