An improved finned coil tube assembly enhances evaporative heat exchanger performance, and includes tubes, preferably serpentine tubes, in the coil assembly. The tubes have a generally elliptical cross-section with external fins formed on an outer surface of the tubes. The fins are spaced substantially 1.5 to substantially 3.5 fins per inch (2.54 cm) along the longitudinal axis of the tubes, extend substantially 23.8% to substantially 36% of the nominal tube outside diameter in height from the tubes outer surface and have a thickness of substantially 0.007 inch (0.018 cm) to substantially 0.020 inch (0.051 cm). The tubes have a center-to-center spacing generally horizontally and normal to the longitudinal axis of the tubes of substantially 109% to substantially 125% of the nominal tube outside diameter, and a generally vertical center-to-center spacing of substantially 100% to about 131% of the nominal tube outside diameter.

An air conditioner of the present disclosure includes a base case configured to include a suction port through which air is sucked and accommodate a filter therein, a tower case configured to be disposed above the base case and to include a discharge port through which the air sucked from the suction port is discharged, and a heater configured to be disposed inside the tower case to heat the air.

A heat exchange system for heat dissipation of an electronic control assembly includes: a first heat exchange portion including a first end having a first communication port and a second end having a second communication port; a second heat exchange portion including a first end having a third communication port and a second end having a fourth communication port, and at least a part of the second heat exchange portion being configured to be in contact with the electronic control assembly; a first connection tube communicating the first communication port with the third communication port; and a second connection tube communicating the second communication port with the fourth communication port. The first and second heat exchange portions and the first and second connection tubes constitute a loop, the loop has an opening, and the opening is closed when the heat exchange system is in an operative state.

Provided is a water heater including a burner that receives a supply of combustion air from a fan, a heat exchanger having a heat transfer tube, and a combustion chamber case in which a combustion chamber of the burner is formed in the interior thereof and which is to be capable of guiding combustion gas generated by the burner to the heat exchanger. The water heater further includes a unit case that surrounds the combustion chamber case, and a region on the outside of the combustion chamber case within the unit case serves as an air pressure chamber having a higher pressure than the combustion chamber. Thus, combustion gas leakage to the outside can be prevented or suppressed appropriately by means of a simple configuration.

A finned tube heat exchanger includes a plurality of tube arrays, each of which includes a plurality of heat transfer tubes that each extend parallel to one another and are disposed at a predetermined pitch in a first direction that intersects a flow direction of heat exchanging air, in a second direction that intersects the first direction, any closest two of the plurality of tube arrays having a predetermined distance therebetween. One closest two tube arrays includes first and second tube arrays that respectively include a plurality of first heat transfer tubes and a plurality of second heat transfer tubes. When seen from the flow direction, each first heat transfer tube is disposed closer to one of an adjacent two second heat transfer tubes that is closest to said each first heat transfer tube, than to the other one of the adjacent two second heat transfer tubes.

The disclosure relates to a heat dissipation module and a manufacturing method thereof. The heat dissipation module includes a heat pipe, multiple heat dissipation fins and multiple rings. The heat pipe has a peripheral wall. Each heat dissipation fin has a through hole and an annular wall disposed on an outer edge of the through hole. The heat dissipation fins are adapted to sheathe the heat pipe in a spacedly stacked manner through the through hole. Each ring annularly is adapted to sheathe each annular wall in a compressive manner to embed and compressedly connect each annular wall to the peripheral wall. Therefore, efficiency of heat dissipation and structural strength of the heat dissipation structure are improved.

There are provided a heat exchanger having a flat tube and a fin bonded together, without causing melting of a coating material covering the fin, and a method of manufacturing thereof. A heat exchanger includes: a flat tube having a flat cross-sectional shape and covered with an anticorrosive layer; and a fin bonded to the flat tube with a bonding agent on a first surface of the anticorrosive layer interposed therebetween, and covered with a coating material, the first surface of the anticorrosive layer having been roughened, and the bonding agent being fixed to the roughened first surface.

A water heater can include a baffle and a slab heat exchanger with at least two rows of heat exchanger tubes, each row comprising a plurality of heat exchanger tubes. At least one of the heat exchanger tubes comprises a tube and a plurality of fins on the exterior of the tube circumscribing the tube, wherein the outer edge of each fin of the plurality of fins is bent at least at the same three areas of each fin such that the bends form at least three flat or concave areas running along the length of the heat exchanger tube.
