A two-phase immersion cooling device includes a tank, heating elements, a first condenser, and a lid. An accommodating cavity of the tank bottom accommodates a coolant. The heating elements are disposed in the accommodating cavity and immersed in the coolant. The first condenser is received in the accommodating cavity, located above the coolant and the heating elements, and disposed along sidewalls of the tank. At least one movable second condenser is fixed on the lid or a rear door and disposed in a cavity surrounded by the first condenser. The two-phase immersion cooling device increases the capacity of condensation heat transfer, and the condensation rate and the evaporation rate of the coolant in the tank are balanced, a pressure difference between an inside and an outside of the tank is reduced, a loss of coolant vapor is decreased, and a volume of the two-phase immersion cooling device is reduced.

A reversible flow heat exchange system includes a heat exchanger system that includes a canister configured to receive a first fluid from a machine and a heat exchanger disposed within the canister. The reversible flow heat exchange system also includes a cooling system coupled to the heat exchanger and configured to circulate a second fluid between the heat exchanger system and the cooling system and a reversing valve coupled to the heat exchanger and configured to selectively direct a flow of the first fluid in a first direction through the canister and in a second direction through the canister that is opposite the first direction.

A circulating cooling/heating device that is configured to cool and heat a circulating fluid supplied to a chamber in plasma-etching equipment includes: a reservoir configured to store the circulating fluid; a pump configured to circulate the circulating fluid between the reservoir and the chamber; a heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between the circulating fluid and a cooling water, the heat exchanger being immersed in the circulating fluid stored in the reservoir; and a heater configured to heat the circulating fluid in the reservoir.

An apparatus for controlling water temperature includes a housing defining a composting chamber for receiving compost and a conduit disposed within the housing for providing flow of water. The conduit at least partially receives heat generated by the compost and may include a first subconduit extending substantially about an axis of the housing, a second subconduit extending substantially about the axis of the housing and being spaced apart from the first subconduit and a plurality of elongated subconduits extending between the first subconduit and the second subconduit and providing fluid communication therebetween. The housing may have at least one translucent portion for permitting flow of light waves therethrough. The apparatus may have a mechanism for mixing the compost.

Exemplary embodiments are generally directed to beverage chillers for chilling a hot beverage so that the hot beverage can be served as a chilled beverage in real time on demand fashion. The beverage chillers include a beverage collection section, a heat exchanger section, and a dispensing section fluidically connected relative to each other. The beverage collection section receives a beverage in a hot state. The heat exchanger section chills the beverage from the hot state to a predetermined chilled temperature. The dispensing section dispenses the beverage at or near the predetermined chilled temperature. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to methods and systems for chilling a hot beverage in real time on demand fashion.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling the temperature and ratio of gases within a gas mixing tank reservoir and selectively charging/discharging gases from the reservoir to one or both of an intake system or an exhaust system. In one example, a method (or system) may include storing exhaust gas and/or compressed intake air into a gas mixing reservoir, and increasing or decreasing flow of coolant to the reservoir based on engine operating conditions. The stored gases may be discharged to an intake system and/or an exhaust system based on requests from a controller, and coolant flow to the reservoir may be adjusted based on the composition of the gases stored within the reservoir.

An autoclave system comprises an autoclave vessel 210, for performing a leaching operation on sacrificial ceramic cores (not shown) and a storage vessel 220 for containing caustic leaching fluid 230. Interposed in a fluid flow path between the vessel 210 and the tank 220 is a heat exchange unit 240, comprising a body 250 containing a thermal exchange medium, in the form of water 260, and first and second thermal exchange conduits represented at 270 and 280. A thermal exchange medium inlet pipe 290a and a thermal exchange medium outlet pipe 290b are provided to the body so that the medium 260 can be replenished, preferably substantially continuously, to optimize thermal transfer efficiency.

There are provided a cooling system and a cooling method that are simple and efficient and improve cooling performances for an electronic device. A cooling system (10) includes a cooling bath (12). In the open space of the cooling bath (12), a second coolant (13) with a boiling point (T.sub.2) is contained. In the open space of the cooling bath (12), an electronic device (100) is housed. The electronic device (100) is mounted with a processor (110) as a heat generating component on a board (120). The electronic device (100) is immersed in the second coolant 13. A boiling cooling device (200) is a cooling device thermally connected to the processor (110), and encloses a first coolant 11 with a boiling point (T.sub.1) (where T.sub.2>T.sub.1).

A heat exchanger which is used primarily in oil and gas operations to heat tanks of liquids, such as drilling mud, water, heavy oil or other such fluids from freezing or becoming too viscous to pump.

A reversible flow heat exchange system includes a heat exchanger system that includes a canister configured to receive a first fluid from a machine and a heat exchanger disposed within the canister. The reversible flow heat exchange system also includes a cooling system coupled to the heat exchanger and configured to circulate a second fluid between the heat exchanger system and the cooling system and a reversing valve coupled to the heat exchanger and configured to selectively direct a flow of the first fluid in a first direction through the canister and in a second direction through the canister that is opposite the first direction.
