Large scale field erected air cooled industrial steam condenser having heat exchanger panels with primary and secondary condenser sections, in which the secondary condenser section comprises 10% or less of the total heat exchanger, and in which the tubes of the primary condenser sections have narrowed outlet orifices having an area that is 50% or less than the cross-sectional area of a corresponding tube. The invention permits the reduction of secondary condenser tubes while reducing the outlet header pressure sufficiently to minimize backflow, sweep non-condensables and prevent the formation of dead zones.

A heat exchanger includes: a case which has a first side wall that stands upright in a vertical height direction and to which a heating medium is supplied inside; and heat transfer tubes for heating hot water housed in the case. Two end portions of the heat transfer tubes in a longitudinal direction are joined to the first side wall via brazing portions, and the heat transfer tubes are supported by the first side wall. The heat exchanger further includes heat transfer tube support portions provided on the first side wall for supporting portions of the heat transfer tubes near the first side wall to prevent the portions of the heat transfer tubes near the first side wall from descending below a first predetermined height.

Apparatus related to thermal storage and exchange systems for use in buildings to selectively cool and/or heat a heat storage medium and cause said medium to reversibly pass between a liquid phase and a solid phase without requiring a complete discharge of a thermal reservoir between phase changes. In one embodiment, a cube filled with water and a gas or liquid within the horizontal tubing is used to charge the system, thereby freezing the water. The vertical tubing is then used to recover the energy by melting the ice, which is used for air conditioning. In one embodiment, copper tubing and fins are used to efficiently charge and discharge the system.

A heat exchanger with a core part; an upper reinforcing plate which is disposed on the upper side of the core part in the height direction and in which a first fixing/matching section is formed; a pair of lateral reinforcing plates disposed on both sides of the core part in the longitudinal direction, the upper side of at least one of the two lateral reinforcing plates being coupled to the first fixing/matching section of the upper reinforcing plate, and a second fixing/matching section being formed on the lower side of each of the lateral reinforcing plates; and a lower reinforcing plate disposed on the lower side of the core part in the height direction, and both sides of which are coupled to the second fixing/matching sections of the pair of lateral reinforcing plates, wherein each of components can be correctly positioned, and thus productivity and assemblability are improved.
