An evaporative cooler which includes a sealed loop of conduit with a first portion in a space to be cooled and a second portion in a space where heat is rejected, a volume of working fluid, and a fan inside the conduit loop. The fan forces air over the working fluid to accelerate its evaporation, which requires heat. Evaporation creates vapor-enriched air which carries heat and is forced by the fan to the second portion. Within the second portion, the vapor-enriched air rejects the absorbed heat before being forced back to the first portion. In certain cases, a portion of the working fluid in the vapor-enriched air condenses out and drains or is pumped back to the first portion. In certain uses, the cooler provides cooling to an area. In other uses, the cooler captures vaporized water, producing an impurity-free condensate for removal or use.

Exfoliated graphite materials, and composite materials including exfoliated graphite, having enhanced through-plane thermal conductivity can be used in thermal management applications and devices. Methods for making such materials and devices involve processing exfoliated graphite materials such as flexible graphite to orient or re-orient the graphite flakes in one or more regions of the material.

A fluid dynamic rain-making apparatus includes a first tubular member (10) and a thermal conductor (20). The first tubular member (10) includes a fluid channel having a first opening (12) and a second opening (13). An axial cross section of the fluid channel (11) decreases from the first opening (12) toward the second opening (13). The thermal conductor (20) includes a second tubular member (21) attached to the second opening (13) of the first tubular member (10) and heat sinks (22) circumferentially arranged on an outer surface thereof. A fluid (A) enters the fluid channel (11) from the first opening (11) and forms a cooled fluid (A1) through flowing through the fluid channel (11) for cooling the second tubular member (21), thus the heat sinks (22) are cooler than the external fluid (A). Accordingly, moist air is cooled to reach the dew point to form water drop for rainfall.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a heat exchanger and an air-conditioning system. The heat exchanger comprises heat exchange tubes.

The modules (2) are assembled with one another, being successively spaced apart in pairs, a space (E1) being created between two adjacent modules (2). At least one of the spaces (E1) receives at least one conductive heat-transfer element (7) extending between respective walls of at least two adjacent the modules (2) which are oriented facing one another.

An integrated exhaust system apparatus to be mounted on an engine is provided. The apparatus includes an apparatus housing; an engine interface; an exhaust system interface with a first exhaust apparatus outlet configured to direct a first portion of exhaust through the housing wall; an EGR interface with a second exhaust apparatus outlet configured to direct a second portion of exhaust through the apparatus housing wall; and an exhaust manifold arranged within the apparatus interior. The exhaust manifold includes a first manifold outlet configured to direct the first portion of exhaust out of the manifold interior and a second manifold outlet configured to direct the second portion of exhaust out of the manifold interior. An EGR cooler is arranged within the apparatus interior with passages fluidly coupled such that the second portion of exhaust is directed out of the apparatus housing via the second exhaust apparatus outlet.

Disclosed is a corrosion-resistant air preheater capable of slowing down dust deposit. The air preheater comprises a shell, an air inlet is fixedly formed in the side wall of the shell, an air outlet is fixedly formed in the side, away from the air inlet, of the shell, a flue gas through pipe is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the shell, rotating assemblies are arranged on the outer side wall of the flue gas through pipe, a flue gas inlet box is fixedly arranged at the top of the shell. According to the corrosion-resistant air preheater, an air pressure plate is pushed through the flue gas pressure intensity, and then the air pressure plate can descend. After the air pressure plate descends, rotating blades can rotate under the flowing effect of flue gas, then a movable rod rotates, and a scraping plate is further enabled to rotate.

A duct for a bleed system of an aircraft, wherein the duct extends from an inlet section to an outlet section along a longitudinal axis, and wherein the duct comprises a continuous piece arranged on and protruding from the internal wall of the duct. The duct is subject to temperature gradients in order to reduce the temperature of the warmest airflow closer to the inner wall rather than rapidly mix the airflow.
