A shell-and-plate heat exchanger includes: a shell forming an internal space; and a plate stack, disposed in the internal space, including heat transfer plates that are stacked and joined together. The shell-and-plate heat exchanger is configured to allow a refrigerant that has flowed into the internal space to evaporate. The plate stack forms: refrigerant channels that communicate with the internal space and through which a refrigerant flows; and heating medium channels that are blocked from the internal space and through which a heating medium flows. Each of the refrigerant channels is adjacent to an associated one of the heating medium channels with one of the heat transfer plates interposed therebetween. The shell-and-plate heat exchanger further includes one or more supply structures that supply the refrigerant to the refrigerant channels such that the refrigerant flows downward.

A heat exchanger includes a first flow path member including a first plate having a first flow path portion providing a plurality of flow paths through which a first fluid flows, and a first bonding plate diffusion-bonded to the first plate to cover the first flow path portion; and a second flow path member including a second plate having a second flow path portion providing a plurality of flow paths through which a second fluid for exchanging heat with the first fluid flows. The first flow path member and the second flow path member are diffusion-bonded to each other.

A heat exchanger for a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) system includes a base portion having a first plurality of channels extending therethrough and a second plurality of channels extending therethrough. The heat exchanger further includes a first manifold and a second manifold, where the first plurality of channels extends from the first manifold to the second manifold, and a third manifold and a fourth manifold, where the second plurality of channels extends from the third manifold to the fourth manifold.

A frame (100) for a heat exchanger (1), wherein the frame (100) comprises a first arm (110) and a second arm (120) connectable together in a first connection (141) and in a second connection (142), so that the arms (110, 120) form a loop for encircling the heat exchanger (1), wherein at least one of the arms (110, 120) is adapted to restrict the movement of the heat exchanger (1) with respect to the frame (100) in at least one direction after assembly, characterized in that the first connection (141) is detachable and the second connection (142) enables movement of the first arm (110) with respect to the second arm (120) when the first connection (141) is detached.

A heat exchanger includes: first layers each including first flow channels that are microchannels; and second layers each including second flow channels that are microchannels. The first layers and the second layers constitute a lamination. Heat is exchanged by performing either of: liquid evaporation in the first flow channels and gas condensation in the second flow channels, or liquid evaporation in the second flow channels and gas condensation in the first flow channels. The lamination includes: a first liquid transport pore that is in fluid communication with the first flow channels; and a second liquid transport pore that is in fluid communication with the second flow channels.
