A condenser includes a first and a second core and a receiver drier, the first and the second cores include a first and a second pair of collectors respectively for heat exchange fluid. At least the first pair of collectors are arranged substantially vertically. The receiver drier includes a tubular casing, an inlet and an outlet port, a desiccant section and a suction tube. The inlet and outlet ports are configured at opposite lateral ends of the tubular casing. The desiccant section is configured between the lateral ends of the tubular casing. The suction tube configures fluid communication between the desiccant section and the outlet port. The receiver drier is disposed horizontally. The suction tube enables receiving of the fluid from a lower portion of the tubular casing along the vertical direction and upstream of the suction tube in direction of fluid flow in the receiver drier.

Technologies described herein are directed to isolating or insulating at least portions of an evaporator coil within a climate control unit (CCU) of a TCCS so as to reduce or even eliminate adverse effects caused by a leaked working fluid. Such adverse effects may include a threat of ignition, asphyxiation of occupants, damage to cargo, and other harmful effects caused by emission of a noxious gas. A leak isolation structure is provided to isolate evaporator tubes of an evaporator coil from at least one of a plurality of turns of the evaporator coil.

A heat exchanger comprising a first manifold and a second manifold connected by a bundle of tubes, configured to provide at least an entry pass and an exit pass for a heat exchange fluid, further comprising an inlet port associated with the entry pass and an outlet port associated with the exit pass, wherein the exit pass is fluidically connected with the outlet port through a first opening, the first opening being connected with the outlet port through an additional channel outside of the manifolds, characterized in that the exit pass is further fluidically connected with the outlet port through a second opening so that the path for the heat exchange fluid to the outlet port is shorter from the second opening than from the first opening.

An electric vehicle may include a battery module, a heat transfer circuit, and a ventilation system. The heat transfer circuit may include a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and a reversing valve. The first heat exchanger may be adjacent to the battery module and/or in thermal contact with the battery module. The second heat exchanger may exchange heat with an environment external to a cabin of the vehicle. The reversing valve may reverse a fluid flow direction of the heat transfer circuit. The ventilation system may force air across the first heat exchanger or the second heat exchanger and direct the air into the cabin of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a battery for traveling; an air conditioner that includes a defroster mode and that is configured to air-condition a vehicle cabin using a refrigeration cycle; a battery cooler configured to cool the battery with a coolant that is cooled by heat exchange with a refrigerant flowing through the air conditioner; and a control unit configured to control the air conditioner and the battery cooler. In a case where a temperature of the battery is higher than a reference temperature, the control unit operates the battery cooler and controls the air conditioner such that the air conditioner operates in the defroster mode when the vehicle is moving, and the control unit operates the battery cooler and stops the air conditioner when the vehicle is stopped.

A compact, lightweight multilayer heat exchanger for an electric vehicle, including a first heat exchanger configured to enable cooling of a first heat conducting fluid medium traversing therethrough, and a second heat exchanger configured to enable cooling of a second heat conducting fluid medium traversing therethrough, wherein at least portions of the first heat exchanger are in contact with the second heat exchanger enabling heat transfer between the first heat exchanger and second heat exchanger.

A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanging portion, a reservoir that performs gas-liquid separation on a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant that flows out from the heat exchanging portion into a gas-phase refrigerant and a liquid-phase refrigerant and stores the liquid-phase refrigerant, and an inflow passage that allows the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing out from the heat exchanging portion to flow into the reservoir. The inflow passage is connected so as to be in communication with an inlet port of the reservoir which is disposed above a liquid surface of the liquid-phase refrigerant stored in the reservoir.

An antibacterial device that includes a substrate, a first electrode on the substrate, a second electrode on the substrate, and a protective layer covering the first electrode and the second electrode and having a first surface opposing of the substrate and a second surface opposite the first surface. Further, the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged such that the protective layer has an electric field strength on the second surface thereof of 150 kV/m or more when a voltage is applied to the first electrode or the second electrode.

A header box includes a first bottom plate and an unperforated cover plate. The first bottom plate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first bottom plate is of a one-piece configuration. The first surface is recessed inwardly to form a straight first hole extending along a length direction. The second surface is recessed inwardly to form at least two straight second holes extending along a width direction perpendicular to the length direction. The first hole is communicated with the at least two second holes. The cover plate is connected to the first surface to block an opening of the first hole on the first surface. A heat exchanger having the header box is also disclosed.
