Radial configuration for heat exchanger core
11703283 · 2023-07-18 · ·

A heat exchanger includes a first set of fins, a second set of fins, and an exterior wall. The first set of fins extend radially and are coaxial with each other. The first set of fins forms a first set of channels. The second set of fins extend radially and are coaxial with each other. The second set of fins forms a second set of channels. Channels of the first and second sets of channels are disposed in an alternating pattern in a circumferential direction of the heat exchanger. The first and second sets of fins are integrally formed together. A cross-sectional width of a channel of at least one of the first set of channels and the second set of channels increases as a radial distance from a centerline axis of the heat exchanger increases.

Tangential flow separation element incorporating flexuous channels

The invention provides a cross-flow separation element comprising a single-piece rigid porous support (2) having within its volume at least one channel (4.sub.1) for passing a flow of the fluid medium for treatment, which channel presents a flexuous flow volume (V1) defined by sweeping a generator section along a curvilinear path around a reference axis, and in that the reference axis does not intersect said generator section and is contained within the volume of the porous support.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING OF THREE-DIMESIONAL OBJECTS

The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing methods, apparatuses, systems and/or software to form one or more 3D objects, some of which may be complex. In some embodiments, the one or more 3D objects comprise an overhang portion, such as a ledge or ceiling of a cavity. The methodologies may be used to form overhang portions with diminished deformation, defects and/or auxiliary support structures.

GEOTHERMAL HEAT EXCHANGER
20220333826 · 2022-10-20 ·

A one-piece, unitarily formed compact geothermal heat exchanger comprises a one-piece body having an external screw-type configuration including a cutting tip and a spiral thread extending from the cutting tip upwards towards the top of the body of the heat exchanger. The top face of the body includes a working fluid inlet and a working fluid outlet, each of which are in communication with an internal continuous helical channel inside of the one-piece body through which the working fluid travels during operation to transfer heat energy between the working fluid and the ground. A compact geothermal heat exchanger having such configuration may be installed by screwing the heat exchanger into the ground to the desired depth, without requiring prior digging or other excavation of the ground surface. The compact geothermal heat exchanger may then be connected to a conventional geothermal heating and cooling system for geothermal heating and/or cooling of a space, such as the interior of a building. The compact geothermal heat exchange may also be connected in series to provide expanded capacity for customized cooling/heating needs and cost consideration.
