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.

A liquid cooling jacket includes a refrigerant flow path which is a flow path having a width in a second direction and in which a heat dissipation assembly is located on a first side in a third direction, where a direction in which a refrigerant flows is defined as a first direction. The refrigerant flow path includes a narrow flow path portion. A width in the third direction of the narrow flow path portion is smaller than a width in the third direction of a flow path on a first side in the first direction with respect to the narrow flow path portion and a width in the third direction of a flow path on a second side in the first direction with respect to the narrow flow path portion.

An assembly for a turbomachine through which an air flow passes, includes a stator including guide vanes extending radially in relation to a longitudinal axis, at least one inter-vane platform extending between the radially outer ends of two circumferentially consecutive guide vanes, each inter-vane platform including an outer surface that faces the axis, a heat exchanger located downstream of the stator in relation to a direction of circulation of the air flow in the turbomachine during operation, this stator including a heat exchange surface extending in the extension of an inter-vane platform. At least one inter-vane platform located in the upstream extension of the heat exchange surface is provided with at least one turbulence generator on its outer surface.

An impingement cooling system includes a porous heat spreader and a nozzle configured to direct a fluid as a jet and/or as a spray impinging upon the porous heat spreader. The porous heat spreader is made of a thermally-conductive material such as a metal, metal alloy, carbon/graphite, or ceramic, and is in thermal contact with a heat source. The nozzle may be configured to direct the fluid as a jet comprising a single component liquid or gas (including air) or a liquid mixture such as water-glycol or other coolants. The nozzle may be configured to direct the fluid as a spray comprising a single component liquid or gas (including air) or a liquid mixture such as water-glycol or other coolants. The cooling system may include one or more nozzles, which may direct the cooling fluid orthogonally or at an oblique angle to an impingement plate.

A heat exchanger includes a shell, a coiled tube, and a swirler. The shell has an inlet and an outlet and forms a cavity. A first of a liquid refrigerant and a vapor refrigerant enters the inlet of the shell. The coiled tube is positioned within the cavity and is connected to an inlet tube from outside the shell and an outlet tube to outside the shell. A second of the liquid refrigerant and the vapor refrigerant enters the inlet tube of the coiled tube. The swirler is arranged adjacent the inlet of the shell and is dimensioned to distribute the first of the liquid refrigerant and the vapor refrigerant across the coiled tube.

A plate heat exchanger without straight flow channels is provided, for exchanging heat between fluids. Said heat exchanger, comprises a start plate, an end plate and a number of heat exchanger plates provided with a pressed pattern of ridges and grooves with a pitch. The heat exchanger plates are kept at a distance from each other by contact between ridges and grooves of neighboring plates in contact points, when said plates are being stacked onto one another. Flow channels are thus formed between said plates, the contact points are positioned so that no straight lines are formed along the length of the heat exchanger plates.
