A collector tube for a heat exchanger having at least one flat tube, may include a base and a cover arranged opposite the base. The base and the cover may define a longitudinal duct. The base may include at least one passage having an opening configured to accommodate the at least one flat tube of the heat exchanger. The opening may have at least one wide edge and at least one narrow edge. The longitudinal duct may have, in a cross section, a diameter that is smaller than the at least one wide edge of the opening. The at least one passage may include a collar extending away from the longitudinal duct.

A heat exchanger that includes two or more thermal circuits configured to exchange heat. The thermal circuits are located relative to one another in a configuration defined by one of the following: i) in a stacked plate manifold that includes first and second plates configured for inlet/outlet connections and to divide fluid flow into separate tubes with the exchange of heat through a single face; ii) in a complex manifold comprising two or more distributors that separate fluid flow into each thermal circuit with the exchange of heat through a single face; and iii) in a plurality of stacked evaporators; each evaporator comprising a plurality of coils with fins located there between, wherein the evaporators include at least one coil section in which fins are absent.

A heat exchanger includes a first collecting pipe, a second collecting pipe and a number of flat tubes connected between the first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe. The first collecting pipe includes a first upper main board and a first lower main board. A first channel and a second channel are formed between the first upper main board and the first lower main board. The second collecting pipe includes a third channel and a fourth channel. The third channel is communicated with the first channel through a row of the flat tubes. The fourth channel is communicated with the second channel through another row of the flat tubes.

A water-cooled heat rejection heat exchanger is provided and includes a housing having first and second opposing end plates and sidewalls extending between the end plates to form an enclosure, at least the first end plate including first and second inlet/outlet pairs for first and second fluids, respectively, a plurality of plates disposed within the enclosure between the first and second end plates to define a first fluid pathway disposed in fluid communication with the first inlet/outlet pair and a second fluid pathway disposed in fluid communication with the second inlet/outlet pair and a plurality of brazed formations disposed between adjacent ones of the first end plate, the plurality of plates and the second end plate to isolate the first fluid pathway from the second fluid pathway.

A heat exchanger having a casing defining an encased area and at least one plate heat exchanger arranged in the encased area for indirectly exchanging heat between a first medium and a second medium. The plate heat exchanger can be surrounded by a liquid phase of the first medium. A distribution device or distributor channel is arranged above the plate heat exchanger to introduce the first medium to the encased area. The distribution device has at least one outlet opening oriented downwards through which the liquid first medium is introduced to the encased area. A conducting device is arranged below the distribution device and conducts the liquid first medium exiting the at least one outlet opening.

This turbo chiller includes a shell-and-tube condenser; a header along a length direction of a shell is installed on a refrigerant inlet of the condenser, and openings are formed at least on both end portions of the header in the length direction, which allows high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas from a compressor to be smoothly and evenly distributed to both length-direction end areas in the shell of the condenser through the header.

The invention relates to a condenser of stacked-plate design, having a first flow duct for a refrigerant and having a second flow duct for a coolant.
