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 brazed plate heat exchanger (100) including a plurality of first and second heat exchanger plates (110, 120), wherein the first heat exchanger plates (110) are formed with a first pattern of ridges (R1) and grooves (G1), and the second heat exchanger plates (120) are formed with a second pattern of ridges (R2a, R2b) and grooves (G2a, G2b) providing contact points between at least some crossing ridges and grooves of neighbouring plates under formation of interplate flow channels for fluids to exchange heat, said interplate flow channels being in selective fluid communication port openings (O1, O2, O3, O4). The first pattern of ridges and grooves is different from the second pattern of ridges and grooves, so that an interplate flow channel volume on one side of the first heat exchanger plates (110) is different from the interplate flow channel volume on the opposite side of the first heat exchanger plates (110). The heat exchanger (100) is provided with a retrofit port heat exchanger (400). A system and a method are also disclosed.

A heat exchanger comprises a stack of sets of fins and tubes attached to or encompassed by embossed plates comprising a void. In some embodiments, the fins overlap the void having a peripheral margin of the fin attached to the peripheral margin around the void. In some embodiments, the fins comprise through fluid apertures allowing lateral fluid flow. In some embodiments, the plates comprise lateral peripheral protrusions enabling selective sealing of gaps between adjacent stacked plates by unselective application of heat or adhesive to a face of the heat exchanger. In some embodiments, the plates comprise uniformizing protrusions in a fluid inlet and/or outlet zone that reduce the amount of non-uniform fluid mass flow between different channel protrusions of heat exchanging zones of the set. Also disclosed are methods for assembly and selective sealing of the heat exchanger and an apparatus comprising the same.

A baffle for a block-type heat exchanger comprising a baffle plate. The baffle plate comprises a first surface and a second surface being parallel to a baffle plane located between the first surface and the second surface. The baffle plate comprises a first longitudinal edge, a second longitudinal edge, a first transverse edge and a second transverse edge. The baffle comprises a resilient member at the second longitudinal edge. The baffle comprises a reinforcement extending away from the baffle plane.

A heat exchanger for battery cooling is provided to improve an efficiency of cooling of the current heat exchangers. The heat exchanger for battery cooling comprises an upper housing with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a lower housing capable of hermetically connecting with the upper housing to form a chamber for accommodating fluid. The fluid flows into the chamber through the fluid inlet and then exits through the fluid outlet. The fluid chamber is provided with at least one S-shaped fluid directing element with several through holes. With the S-shape directing elements within the fluid chamber and the through holes formed on the directing elements, fluid can flow in an injecting manner within the chamber to realize effective cooling of the upper housing.

A total heat exchange element includes partition plates, and spacers shaped into a corrugated shape in which a plurality of apexes are connected by side walls, the partition plates and the spacers being stacked such that extending directions of the plurality of apexes intersect between the spacers adjacent to each other. A plurality of flow paths include flow paths each having a shape which is line-symmetrical with respect to a straight line extending in the stacking direction, and flow paths each having a shape which is not line-symmetrical with respect to a straight line extending in the stacking direction. The length of the side walls constituting the flow paths each having a shape which is not line-symmetrical is longer than the length of the side walls constituting the flow paths having a shape which is line-symmetrical.

A plate heat exchanger gasket is configured to be positioned between adjacent heat transfer plates in a plate heat exchanger and includes a continuous seal part integrated with spaced-apart wedge parts. The media pressure produced by the fluids flowing in the plate interspaces act on the continuous seal part and applies a force tending to push the continuous seal part outwardly. The wedge parts are sized to contact and act against portions of the heat transfer plates so that movement of the wedge parts is prevented. Because the wedge parts are integrated with the continuous seal part, the wedge parts thus prevent the continuous seal part (plate heat exchanger gasket) from being pushed outwardly and so blow-outs are not so likely to occur.
