A heat transfer device, and methods and systems using such devices, including a major surface wall forming a bottom side of the device; a first hermetic chamber of a first design and with the surface wall forming a bottom wall of the first vapor chamber; a second hermetic chamber of a second design, positioned adjacent to the first chamber along a length of the first surface wall, and with the surface wall forming a bottom wall of the second vapor chamber. The first chamber includes a first heat transfer medium and a first wick arranged to transport the first heat transfer medium to an evaporator region of the first chamber. The second chamber includes a second heat transfer medium and a second wick arranged to transport the second heat transfer medium to an evaporator region of the second chamber.

A RAM inlet header (RIH) is provided and includes a body through which RAM air flows from an inlet toward a heat exchanger and a nozzle body arranged along a wall of the body to direct a curtain of cooled air into flows of the RAM air and toward the heat exchanger.

The present invention is a method of optimizing radiant and thermal efficiency of a gas fired radiant tube heater. A heat exchange blower receives intake air and delivers intake air through a heat exchanger as pre-heated air to a combustion air blower. The combustion air blower receives pre-heated intake air from the heat exchanger and then provides the pre-heated intake air to a burner for mixing with fuel. The fuel-intake air mixture is burned in the burner thereby producing combustion gasses which are fired into a radiant tube. The exhaust combustion gases pass through the balance of the radiant tube and through the heat exchanger where residual heat is transferred and extracted from the combustion gases to pre-heat the intake air. The turbulators are configured to increase the turbulence within the radiant tube and are placed within the initial 10 to 30 of the radiant tube after the burner to increase the tube temperature and the radiation emitted from this section of the radiant tube.

A combined heat exchanging and fluid mixing apparatus including a first conduit (44) for guiding a cool fluid through the first conduit and a second conduit (55) for guiding a hot gas through the second conduit. A heat conductive element (2) is arranged between the first conduit (44) and the second conduit (55) for transferring heat from the hot gas to the cool fluid. The apparatus further includes a third conduit (45) for guiding an exhaust fluid. The third conduit (45) comprises an exhaust fluid inlet (46) for introducing an exhaust fluid into the apparatus for mixing of the exhaust fluid with the hot gas and for a chemical reaction of the so formed exhaust fluid/hot gas mixture in the second conduit (55).

A method and apparatus for treating waste gas for an solvent-based carbon capture unit. The process involving the use of a dry sorbent injection (DSI) unit to remove sulfur compounds and fine particulate matter from flue gas are described. The treated flue gas is used to preheat the rich solvent stream from the carbon capture unit. Flue gas from an FCC regenerator, for example, is used to make superheated steam and saturated steam. The process allows for increased thermal energy recovery, decreased water utility and increased equipment reliability.
