A heat and humidity exchanger comprises panels made up of membrane sheets attached on either side of a separator. Channels extend across each panel between the separator and the membrane sheets. The panels are much stiffer than the membrane sheets. Panels are stacked in a spaced apart relationship to provide an ERV core. Spacing between adjacent panels may be smaller than a thickness of the panels.

Methods and devices heat or cool viscous materials, such as meat emulsions useful for producing food and other products. The devices have a heat exchanger including a first plate, a second plate attached to the first plate, and a first spacer and a second spacer arranged between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate, the second plate, the first spacer, and the second spacer define at least one temperature controlled passage for a product to pass through the heat exchanger.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger block 2 and to a heat recovery ventilation unit 1 comprising such a heat exchanger block. In the heat exchanger block 2, the individual flow cross-section (Q1) of flow passages of said plurality of first air flow passages (AFP1) in said parallel flow region (PF) and the individual flow cross-section (Q2) of flow passages of said plurality of second air flow passages (AFP2) in said parallel flow region (PF) gradually, preferably linearly, decrease along a straight line (x-perpendicular to the parallel air flow passages (AFP1 and AFP2) and from said first wall (W1) to said second wall (W2) of the block.

A drying device for processing a gas to be dried, in particular air, comprises an air/air exchanger which includes an inlet for the gas to be dried and an outlet for the dried gas, an evaporator which receives the gas to be dried from the air/air exchanger, the evaporator being formed by means of a plurality of adjacent layers. The layers comprise at least a first layer configured for the passage of a refrigerating fluid, at least a second layer configured to receive the gas to be dried from the air/air exchanger and a plurality of third layers configured to receive a phase change material. The layers are arranged in a sequence which comprises in alternation a first layer, a third layer, a second layer and a further third layer.

A heat exchanger having a first and second mixing devices having at least one lateral channel configured in order for a first phase of the first fluid to flow from at least one first inlet; a series of longitudinal channels extending in the longitudinal direction and each configured in order for a second phase of the first fluid to flow from a second inlet to a second outlet, the longitudinal channels succeeding each other in a lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; and at least one opening fluidly connecting the at least one lateral channel to at least one longitudinal channel such that the first and second mixing devices are configured to distribute a mixture of the first phase and the second phase via the second outlets of their respective longitudinal channels.

A closure bar for a plate-fin heat exchanger core, the closure bar having a substantially rectangular main body portion defined by a first edge and a second edge and an end portion having a first end portion edge, and opposite second end portion edge and an end edge extending between the first end portion edge and the second end portion edge, wherein the first edge of the main body portion and the first end portion edge form a continuous substantially straight first closure bar edge and wherein the second end portion edge is spaced from the first end portion edge by a distance (d1) greater than the distance (d2) between the first edge and second edges of the main body portion, and wherein the second edge of the main body portion and the second end portion edge joined by a radius portion define a second edge of the closure bar.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger that is configured to permit an exchange of heat between a first fluid and a second fluid that circulate in passage paths formed by plates (14a, 14b) and fins (16a, 16b) of the heat exchanger, the fluids flowing in a multitude of passage channels (10) each consisting of a closed space (12) delimited by two adjacent plates and two adjacent fins, characterized in that each plate extends along a non-planar surface following at least a first oscillating curve, and each fin further following at least one second oscillating curve along at least one second main direction, in such a way that each passage path allows the fluid to flow in the closed space along a fluid direction defined by a generatrix that is a combination at least of the first oscillating curve and the second oscillating curve.

An apparatus for manufacturing a heat exchanger for a vehicle has a plurality of cooling panels bonded to each other by pressing a cooling panel module where the plurality of cooling panels are stacked vertically, including: a fixing portion for supporting top and bottom ends of the cooling panel module; and a pair of elastic portions that are provided between the top or bottom end of the cooling panel module and the fixing portion, and are arranged symmetrically based on a top or bottom surface of the cooling panel module to compress the cooling panel module.

A data plate assembly for installation with a plate heat exchanger. The data plate assembly includes a monitoring device assembled with a spacer plate. The spacer plate includes inlet and/or outlet holes, and a port that extends from an outer edge of the spacer plate to one of the inlet and/or outlet holes. The port retains the monitoring device therein such that the monitoring device extends into the inlet and/or outlet holes to monitor characteristics of the process and cooling fluids flowing through the holes and the plate heat exchanger. As the performance of the plate heat exchanger degrades, the characteristics accumulated over a period of time may provide an indication that the performance of the plate heat exchanger is degrading and/or the rate in which the performance of the plate heat exchanger degrades.

A monolithic redundant loop cold plate core includes a core structure and a first cooling loop formed in the core structure. The first cooling loop including one or more first cooling loop passageways extending across a heat exchanger core in one or more passes. The one or more passes include at least a first pass. The monolithic redundant loop cold plate core includes a second cooling loop formed in the core structure. The second cooling loop including one or more second cooling loop passageways extending across the heat exchanger core in the one or more passes. The one or more first cooling loop passageways are intermixed in an alternating side-by-side arrangement with the one or more second cooling loop passageways in a single cooling plane. The monolithic redundant loop cold plate core is a single piece including a unitary structure.
