A heat exchanger includes a casing having a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet, and a second outlet, and a plate assembly positioned between the first inlet and the first outlet and between the second inlet and the second outlet and at least partially in the casing, the plate assembly is being configured to transfer heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger also includes a first plenum connecting a first side of the plate assembly and configured to direct the first fluid from first inlet to the plate assembly, and a second plenum connecting a second side of the plate assembly and configured to direct the first fluid from the plate assembly to the first outlet. An exterior of the second plenum is in contact with the second fluid, and the second plenum is configured to resiliently deflect in response to thermal expansion.

A heat exchanger may include a tubular housing, a flange ring, two bases, and heat exchanger tubes that run through the housing and are each held in the bases at a longitudinal end side. A first flow channel may be formed in the heat exchanger tubes, and a second flow channel may be formed between the heat exchanger tubes and the housing. The housing may be formed from two one-piece and pot-shaped housing parts. Each housing part may have a housing section, a flange ring section, and a base. The two housing parts may be connectable to one another via the two flange ring sections.

A heat exchanger includes a central spar, a body, and a mounting arm. The central spar is disposed along an axial centerline of the heat exchanger. The body is disposed around the central spar. The body includes an exterior wall and heat exchanger core disposed within the exterior wall and integrally formed with the central spar. The mounting arm is integrally formed with and extends radially from the central spar. The mounting arm extends through a portion of the body and is integrally formed with the central spar via additive manufacturing.

A heat exchanger including a shell having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of baffles, such as elliptical sector-shaped baffles, each mounted in the shell at a helix angle H.sub.B to guide a fluid flow into a helical pattern through the shell. Each of the plurality of baffles includes an outer circumferential edge, a proximal radial edge, a distal radial edge, a proximal side, a distal side, and a plurality of spaced apart holes that are traversed by a plurality of axially extending tubes. Each of the first plurality of seal strips is disposed from a proximal of the plurality of baffles to a distal of the plurality of baffles.

A plate heat exchanger includes a plate stack including a plurality of heat transfer plates stacked with each other. Each of the heat transfer plates includes a heat medium inflow hole serving as an inlet for a heat medium, a heat medium outflow hole serving as an outlet for the heat medium, a refrigerant inflow hole serving as an inlet for refrigerant, and a refrigerant outflow portion located below the refrigerant inflow hole and serving as an outlet for the refrigerant. The heat transfer plates define heat medium passages, through each of which the heat medium flowing from the heat medium inflow hole flows, and refrigerant passages, through each of which the refrigerant flowing from the refrigerant inflow hole flows downward, arranged alternately with one another. Each of the heat medium passages and the refrigerant passages is defined between adjacent ones of the heat transfer plates.

A modular heat exchanger assembly for ultra-large radiator applications. At least two heat exchanger cores are arranged in parallel flow, each core including inlet and outlet tanks sealingly attached to opposing headers at each end of a plurality of tubes. Each header is formed by securing mating header plates having mating openings. A plurality of O-rings are trapped within O-ring grooves formed by continuous depressions around each of the mating openings, and a portion of each tube is disposed within one of the O-rings and expanded outwardly to form a seal at each tube-to-header joint. A common tank is connected between tanks at adjacent ends of each heat exchanger core, and separate tanks are connected to the tank at the opposing ends of each core. The separate tanks may be inlet tanks and the common tank may be an outlet tank for fluid, or the flow path may be reversed.

Heat exchanger (100, 200) for cooling contaminated fluids and which are subjected to variable thermal load, by means of heat transfer to a receiving liquid and/or vapor fluid, said heat exchanger comprising a tube bundle consisting of a plurality of independent tubes (1), two plenums (9, 10, 109, 110), plates (12, 13, 112, 113), and characterized in that said independent tubes (1) comprise an inner tube (2, 102) in which the contaminated gas flows, and an outer tube (3, 103) being said inner tube (2, 102) and outer tube (3, 103) coaxial and where between the outer surface (2, 102) of the inner tube (2, 102) and the inner surface (31, 103) of the outer tube (3, 103) is defined an annular passage G in which flows the receiving fluid and in that said inner tube (2, 102) is welded to the plate (12, 112) in a gas inlet section, while a gas outlet section is guided in a corresponding hole of the plate (13, 113), so that the inner tube (2, 102) expansion in an axial direction is not constrained.
