FLUID-CONDUCTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MIXING FLUIDS
The invention relates to a fluid-conducting device (10) having a conduit block (12), within which there are formed multiple primary conduits (14) which extend in a primary conduit direction (100) and which are designed to conduct a primary fluid. The fluid-conducting device furthermore has at least one secondary conduit (16), which extends at least partially in a secondary conduit direction (102) extending at least partially perpendicular to the primary conduit direction (100) and which is designed to conduct or to receive a secondary fluid. Here, the at least one secondary conduit (16) opens into at least one of the primary conduits (14) in order to allow the secondary fluid to flow into the at least one primary conduit (14) via the secondary conduit (16); wherein the fluid-conducting device (10) is formed at least partially by an additive manufacturing process, wherein the multiple primary conduits (14) extend parallel to one another exclusively in a primary conduit direction, wherein the fluid-conducting device (10) is configured such that it can be arranged between two tubing elements and can be fastened thereto such that a primary fluid stream through the first tubing element in the primary conduit direction passes to the fluid-conducting device (10) such that the primary fluid stream is able to penetrate into the primary conduits (14) in the conduit block (12), and such that a fluid flowing out of the fluid-conducting device in the primary conduit direction is able to flow out of the fluid-conducting device into the second tubing element. The invention also relates to a tube plate, to a tube reactor, and to a static mixer (28), which have a fluid-conducting device (10) according to the invention. The invention moreover relates to a method for mixing fluids, and to a method for producing a fluid-conducting device and/or a tube plate.
Heat exchanger unit
Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to an improved heat exchanger unit that includes a frame having a top region, a bottom region, and a plurality of side regions. The unit has a first cooler coupled with the frame proximate to a respective side region and generally parallel to a vertical axis. The unit has a second cooler coupled with the frame proximate to the top region and generally perpendicular to the vertical axis. The unit includes an inner airflow region within the heat exchanger unit, and a first baffle disposed within the inner airflow region.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger (1) contains a jacket element (2) and an insert element (3), wherein the insert element (3) is arranged in the operating state in the interior of the jacket element (2). The insert element has a longitudinal axis (4). The insert element (3) contains an insert jacket element (31) and a plurality of web elements (9, 10), the web elements (9, 10) having a first end (13) and a second end (14). The first end (13) and the second end (14) of each web element (9, 10) are connected to the insert jacket element (31) at different locations. At least a portion of the web elements (9, 10) includes web element channels (11, 12), the web element channels (11, 12) extending from the first end (13) of the web element (11) to the second end (14) of the web element (11). An intermediate jacket element (5) is arranged between the insert jacket element (31) and the jacket element (2).
Combined heat exchanging and fluid mixing apparatus
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).
Heating and cooling apparatus
A heating/cooling plate device for heating and/or cooling an object through a range of operating temperatures extending both above and below ambient. The device having a heating element to heat the plate, and a vapor compression refrigeration system through which refrigerant flows to cool the plate. Greater control of the heating and cooling of the plate is achieved by positioning the heater element substantially at the exit of an expansion valve of the evaporation compression system as this provides thermal energy to the refrigerant as it enters the evaporator.
