MODULAR ANNULAR HEAT EXCHANGER
An annular duct including a modular annular heat exchanger for a gas turbine engine is provided, where the modular annular heat exchanger includes a plurality of radial modules in circumferentially adjacent arrangement. Each radial module includes a cooled fluid inlet plenum segment, a plurality of blades, and a cooled fluid outlet plenum segment. The plurality of blades is configured in circumferentially adjacent arrangement and defines an angular space that is conformal between each circumferentially adjacent blade. The cooled fluid inlet plenum segment, the plurality of blades, and the cooled fluid outlet plenum segment are in serial axial flow arrangement and define an internal cooled fluid flowpath and an external cooling fluid flowpath parallel to the internal cooled fluid flowpath. Each radial module further includes an inner annular ring segment and an outer annular ring segment. The inner annular ring segment and the outer annular ring segment define a plurality of blade retainers. The blade retainers define an axial, radial, and circumferential position of the blades, the cooled fluid inlet plenum segment, and the cooled fluid outlet plenum segment.
FLAT HEAT EXCHANGER TUBE
A flat heat exchanger tube is formed from a single metal strip and comprising two opposite spaced apart broad sides in a thickness direction of said tube and two opposite nose-forming narrow sides in a width direction of said tube. The strip has two longitudinal edges, the first longitudinal edge being contiguous to the first broad side and the second longitudinal edge being contiguous to the second broad side. The two longitudinal edges of the strip are joined together at a first one of the narrow sides, both longitudinal edges being convex-shaped so that the first edge forms an outer convex bend and the second edge forms an inner convex bend that fits in the outer convex bend and conforms to its internal curvature.
Snowmobile heat exchanger assembly
A heat exchanger assembly has a top par and a bottom part joined to the top part. At least one of the top and bottom parts defines a recess. The top and bottom parts define therebetween a passage formed in part by the recess. The passage has a first portion of the passage extending along a first side of the heat exchanger assembly; a second portion of the passage extending along a second side of the heat exchanger assembly; an inlet fluidly communicating with the first portion of the passage near a first end of the passage; and an outlet fluidly communicating with the second portion of the passage near a second end of the passage. Fluid enters the passage via the inlet, then flows in the first portion of the passage, then flows in the second portion of the passage, and then exits the passage via the outlet.
Heat exchange tube and heat exchanger having the same
A heat exchange tube and a heat exchanger are provided. A tube wall of the heat exchange tube includes a first wall and a second wall, a first segment of the first wall includes one of a first groove or a first protrusion, a second segment of the first wall includes one of a second groove or a second protrusion, a first segment of the second wall includes the other one of the first groove or the first protrusion, the first protrusion is arranged in the first groove, the second segment of the second wall includes the other one of the second groove or the second protrusion, and the second protrusion is arranged in the second groove. At least part of each of the first segment and the second segment of the first wall is arranged between the first segment and the second segment of the second wall.
Heat exchanger with multipass fluid flow passages
Methods and systems are provided for a heat exchanger. In one example, the heat exchanger may dissipate energy generated by a battery module and may include a first plate and a second plate arranged in opposed facing relation to one another. A plurality of flow passages may be formed between the first and second plates, the plurality of flow passages including at least one multipass fluid flow passage with at least three longitudinally-extending legs.
SNOWMOBILE HEAT EXCHANGER ASSEMBLY
A heat exchanger assembly has: a front portion; a middle portion rearward of the front portion; a rear portion rearward of the middle portion, at least one of the front and rear portions being curved from the middle portion, the at least one of the front and rear portions extending below the middle portion; a top part, the top part defining at least one top recess; and a bottom part disposed below the top part and being joined to the top part, the bottom part defining at least one bottom recess. The top and bottom parts define therebetween a passage formed in part by the at least one top recess and the at least one bottom recess. The passage has an inlet and an outlet. A snowmobile having the heat exchanger assembly is also disclosed.
Expansion radiator for a hermetically closed electrical transformer
An expansion radiator for a hermetically closed electrical transformer or a throttle. A heat exchange fluid is delivered to the radiator via an inflow, passed through an expansion shaft cavity formed by an expansion shaft and an associated cover part, and then drained off via an outflow. A flow guiding part which steers a flow direction of the heat exchange fluid is arranged in a mouth region between the inflow and the expansion shaft cavity.
Heat Exchange Panel
A heat exchange assembly comprising: (I) two or more panels; (II) a plurality of channels formed between the two or more panels; and (III) one or more reservoirs located adjacent to the plurality of channels and configured to at least temporarily store a temperature control material, wherein the plurality of channels are configured to direct a flow path of the temperature control material between the two or more panels and provide structural rigidity to the assembly.
U-BEND PIPE TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER
A U-bend pipe type heat exchanger includes: a heat exchanger main body surrounded by a front side plate, a back side plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate, and having open upper and lower portions through which a heat source passes; a plurality of U-bend pipes inserted between the left side plate and the right side plate, each of the plurality of U-bend pipes including two heat exchange pipes arranged in parallel with each other and a U-shaped pipe connecting one end portions of the two heat exchange pipes; and a plurality of water jackets attached to at least one of outward surfaces of the left side plate and the right side plate, and connecting open end portions of two adjacent heat exchange pipes such that a low-temperature water circulates along the plurality of U-bend pipes.
Notched coolant tubes for a heat exchanger
Methods and systems are provided for a heat exchanger for a motorized vehicle. In one example, a heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes coupled to a header, with each tube including a partition extending a height of the tube. The partition includes a notch positioned at an end of the tube coupled to the header, with the notch extending into the tube.
