A slim vapor chamber includes a first plate, a second plate and a capillary structure. The periphery of the second plate is connected with that of the first plate to form a chamber. The capillary structure is disposed on an inner wall of the chamber. Both of a side of the first plate facing the second plate and a side of the second plate facing the first plate are formed with a plurality of supporting structures, which include a plurality of supporting pillars and a plurality of supporting plates, by an etching process.

A standby generator includes an internal combustion engine, an alternator driven by the internal combustion engine to produce electrical power for distribution from the standby generator, and an adaptor component comprising a first end coupled to the engine and a second end spaced apart from the first end and coupled to the alternator. The adaptor component may be positioned such that the internal combustion engine is on a first side thereof and the alternator is on a second side thereof. An air-cooled oil cooler may be integrated with or affixed to the adapter component and include cooling fins formed on an outer surface thereof, the air-cooled oil cooler fluidly connected to the internal combustion engine to receive heated oil therefrom and return cooled oil thereto.

A layer for a heat exchanger includes: an inlet; an outlet; an upper sheet; a lower sheet; a fluid flowpath defined between the upper sheet and lower sheet and from the inlet to the outlet; and at least one pin disposed in the flowpath and connecting the upper sheet to the lower sheet; wherein the lower sheet has a first undulating profile. The upper sheet has a second undulating profile different from the first undulating profile. Also disclosed is a heat exchanger including the layer, and a method of making a layer for a heat exchanger.

A three-dimensional heat transfer device includes a first thermally conductive casing, a second thermally conductive casing, a first capillary structure, a second capillary structure and a heat pipe. The second thermally conductive casing has a through hole. The second thermally conductive casing is mounted on the first thermally conductive casing so as to form a liquid-tight chamber. The first capillary structure is disposed on the first thermally conductive casing. The second capillary structure is disposed on the first thermally conductive casing. Projections of the first capillary structure and the second capillary structure on the outer surface and an extension surface of the outer surface are located in an extent of the outer surface, and the second capillary structure is located closer to the second thermally conductive casing than the second capillary structure. The heat pipe is disposed through the through hole and in contact with the second capillary structure.

A plate heat exchanger includes heat transfer plates each of which has openings at four corners thereof, and which are stacked together. The heat transfer plates are partially brazed together such that a first flow passage through which first fluid flows and a second flow passage through which second fluid flows are alternately arranged, with an associated heat transfer plate interposed between the first and second flow passages. The openings at each of the four corners communicate with each other, thereby forming a first header and a second header, the first header allowing the first fluid to flow into and flow out of the first flow passage, the second header allowing the second fluid to flow into and flow out of the second flow passage.

The invention relates to a device (2) for transferring heat from a thermally conductive plate (3) capable of capturing the heat from a zone placed on a first side (32) of the plate, the device comprising at least one fin (35) placed on a second side (34) of the plate (30) opposite the first side (32) and having a duct (36) extending in a longitudinal direction (L) between a first end (38) connected to the plate and a second end (4) opposite the first end and which opens out, the duct (36) being connected to at least one Venturi-effect neck (42) bringing cooling air into the duct, the neck (42) being formed in the vicinity of the first end of the duct and the plate (30).

A refrigerant channel of a heatsink includes an upwardly inclined channel formed by a side wall for downstream side of a first protruding portion and a side wall for upstream side of a second protruding portion. The upwardly inclined channel directs a flow of the refrigerant toward a base portion of the fin and causes the refrigerant to flow into the fin region, because of which more refrigerant flows to the base portion than to a leading end portion of the fin, and a high heat dissipating performance is obtained. Also, the fin is a columnar body whose sectional form perpendicular to a central axis is a regular hexagon, has rounded portions in corner portions, and has tapers on side faces. Six fins are disposed neighboring one fin, and a distance between fins is constant. Because of this, the heat dissipating performance further improves, and pressure loss can be reduced.

A heat exchanger comprises a jacket element and an insert element. The jacket element is configured as a fluid channel for a fluid to be tempered. The insert element is arranged in the fluid channel. The insert element includes web elements which are connected to the jacket element at different locations. Some of the web elements contain web element channels which are fluidly connected with the jacket element, so that in the operating state, a heat transfer fluid which is supplied to the jacket element can flow through the web elements. The jacket element contains chambers for a heat transfer fluid. The chambers contain one inlet opening and one outlet opening for the heat transfer fluid. The inlet opening and the outlet opening of the chamber are connected to the web element channels of two web elements each, which belong to the same row of web elements.

A heat exchanger suitable to be used as a recuperator in a micro gas turbine including a stack of cells. Each of the cells includes a pair of mutually spaced-apart plates and layers including heat exchange elements arranged at the outer surfaces of the plates and between the plates. Each of the layers including heat exchange elements can include at least one discrete spatial component incorporating a number of elements. Both a supply header and a discharge header of the heat exchanger can be made of only two components at the position of the stack of cells. Compensating for heat expansion effects can be via a bellows-shaped pipe portion of a supply conduit.
