A thermal management system and method includes a body having an inlet and an outlet configured to direct a first fluid into and out of the body. The body incudes a channel that is fluidly separate from the inlet and the outlet. A second fluid is directed through the channel. A conduit assembly is fluidly coupled with the inlet and the outlet. The conduit assembly includes plural fluidly separate conduits. Each of the plural conduits extend between a corresponding first end and a corresponding second end along a corresponding tortuous path. The plural conduits are intertwined with each other between the first ends and the second ends. The plural conduits are positioned such that the second fluid flowing through the channel passes over the plural conduits and exchanges thermal energy with the first fluid that moves within each of the plural conduits.

An electric heater system includes an inlet, an outlet, a plurality of heat exchanger assemblies, and one or more connectors. The plurality of heat exchanger assemblies are connected in series. Each heat exchanger assembly includes a vessel, heating elements disposed within the vessel, and a fluid guide member. The connectors secure the vessels of the plurality of heat exchanger assemblies to each other. The connectors are also in fluid communication with the vessels. Fluid entering the inlet flows through the heat exchanger assemblies and through one or more connectors where it exits the outlet. The fluid guide members of the heat exchanger assemblies are of different or the same combinations to generate a predetermined pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet.

A heat exchanger with a monocoque structure transfers heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger in has a plurality of tubes through which the first fluid may flow in a direction, each of the plurality of tubes has a first mouth end, an N opposing second mouth end and a waist region between the first mouth end and the second mouth end. The heat exchanger also has one or more interconnected fluid channels through which the second fluid may flow, the one or more fluid channels lay generally in a plane, the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid channels interleave such that heat may be transferred between the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid channels, and the direction of flow of the first fluid is generally perpendicular to the plane of the one or more fluid channels.

A microtube heat exchanger is disclosed, including two end plates with an array of holes or openings and an array of microtubes disposed in the array of openings between the two end plates. The heat exchanger can be used in environmental control systems, including systems for aerospace applications.

A shell and tube type heat exchanger comprising a shell and a tube arrangement within the shell. The tube arrangement comprises a flow tube. The flow tube furcates at a plurality of nodes along its length. The shell and tube type heat exchanger further comprises a tube matrix fluidly coupled to the flow tube.

An evaporator (2) is provided with a casing (5), a refrigerant supply section (7), a first heat transfer pipe group (10), and a second heat transfer pipe group (11). The first heat transfer pipe group (10) is disposed in the lower part of the space in the casing (5) so as to be immersed in the refrigerant and comprises a plurality of heat transfer pipes (12) through which liquid to be cooled flows. The second heat transfer pipe group (11) is provided in the space in the casing (5) at a position below the refrigerant supply section (7) and above the liquid level of the refrigerant, and comprises a plurality of second heat transfer pipes (13) through which liquid to be cooled flows.

A heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and/or refrigeration (HVAC&R) system includes a first vapor compression flow path having a first condenser configured to place a working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with a cooling fluid, a second vapor compression flow path having a first evaporator configured to place the working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with a conditioning fluid, and a shared vapor compression flow path having a second condenser configured to place the working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with the cooling fluid and a second evaporator configured to place the working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with the conditioning fluid. The first vapor compression flow path is configured to direct working fluid vapor from the second evaporator to the first condenser and the second vapor compression flow path is configured to direct working fluid liquid from the second evaporator to the first evaporator.

A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger core. The heat exchanger core includes a plurality of tubes. Each tube of the plurality of tubes includes a first end and a second end and extends from the first end to the second end in a lengthwise direction. Each tube of the plurality of tubes is spaced from adjacent tubes in a height-wise direction and a widthwise direction. The plurality of tubes is stacked to create a concave profile in the height-wise direction and widthwise direction. The concave profile extends in the lengthwise direction.
