Cooling performance is secured by reducing a compression loss when a high-pressure gas refrigerant is allowed to flow without heat exchange on cooling in a vehicle interior heat exchanger. In the vehicle interior heat exchanger, an upstream header and a downstream header are communicated and connected with the same end side of the refrigerant circulation tubes of an upstream tube group and a downstream tube group where the refrigerant circulation tubes are stacked. Internal spaces of the upstream header and the downstream header are communicated and connected with each other via communication holes in the boss portions of the connecting member. In the vehicle interior heat exchanger, the total opening area of the communication holes is set such that the percentage thereof, with respect to the total opening area of the channel on the uppermost stream side of the upstream tube group, is in the range of 38% to 93%.

A heat exchanger includes a first side opposite a second side and a third side opposite a fourth side and a cold layer with an inlet at the first side of the heat exchanger, an outlet at the second side of the heat exchanger, and a cold passage extending from the inlet to the outlet.

The plurality of pipes may be coupled externally to a plurality of cooling fins arranged in the first fluid path. The plurality of pipes may internally define a second fluid path for conducting the second fluid. The plurality of pipes and the plurality of cooling fins may be arranged stacked on one another in a stacking direction to define a cooler block. The cooler block may include two side parts extending along two outer sides of the cooler block facing away from one another in the stacking direction. At least one tension rod may fixedly connect the two side parts and be configured to transmit a tensile force in the stacking direction.

An air-cooled condenser system for steam condensing applications in a power plant Rankine cycle includes an air cooled condenser having a plurality of interconnected modular cooling cells. Each cell comprises a frame-supported fan, inlet steam header, outlet condensate headers, and tube bundle assemblies having optionally finned tubes extending between the headers. The tube bundle assemblies may fabricated into an A-shaped tube structure. The tube bundles are self-supporting without support from any part of the frame between top and bottom tubesheets of each bundle. The condensate headers may be slideably mounted to the frame for thermal expansion/contraction. Steam circulating in a closed flow loop on the tube side from a steam turbine is cooled in each cell by ambient air blown through the tube bundles, thereby forming liquid condensate returned to the Rankine cycle. The present design further provides a longitudinal and vertical thermal expansion restraint system.

A heat exchanger includes a first side opposite a second side and a third side opposite a fourth side and a cold layer with an inlet at the first side of the heat exchanger, an outlet at the second side of the heat exchanger, and a cold passage extending from the inlet to the outlet.

A water-cooling radiator structure with pump includes a pump having a water outlet and a water inlet; and a water-cooling radiator including a first chamber that has a water-receiving room and a plurality of mutually communicable water passages therein. The water-receiving room is filled with a working fluid that reaches a level. The first chamber is externally provided with an outlet and an inlet as well as a pump mounting recess for mounting the pump therein. The water outlet and the water inlet are located corresponding to the outlet and the inlet, respectively, to be communicable with the water-receiving room and located lower than or flush with the level of the working fluid in the water-receiving room. And, the pump is detachably integrated into the water-cooling radiator. With these arrangements, it is able to overcome the problem of failed operation of the pump when the water-cooling radiator is laid horizontally.
