In a corrugated fin type heat exchanger a flat tube can be replaced, to improve heat exchange performance thereof. A characteristic part of the heat exchanger lies in a projection having been formed on the ascending surface and the descending surface of the corrugated fin of respective tube elements.

A tube bundle-type heat exchanger, to a tube base, and to a method for sealing same. Aspects of the invention relate to a tube base for a tube bundle-type heat exchanger. In particular, the tube base includes a stack of multiple tube base plates with at least one through-opening for receiving a respective tube of the tube bundle-type heat exchanger. The throughopening is sealed by at least one seal ring. Additional aspects relate to a tube bundle-type heat exchanger comprising such a tube base and to a method for sealing a tube bundle-type heat exchanger in particular in the region of the tube base.

A connection between one end of a Multi Port Extrusion (MPE) tube (1) of aluminium or an aluminium alloy and one header (2), the connection comprises an adapter (3) with a seal ring (4) fixed between the MPE tube and the header. The invention also relates to a method for connecting said parts.

A machine system includes a compressor, and a cooler having an inlet tank to receive compressed air from the compressor, and a header assembly attached to the inlet tank and including a plurality of cooling tubes supported in the header and each having an external heat exchange surface exposed to a flow of cooling air. The cooler further includes a plurality of graphite pack seals each extending peripherally around one of the cooling tubes, and a clamping assembly clamping the pack seals against the header to squeeze the pack seals into sealing contact with the cooling tubes and the header.

A pressure vessel comprises a pressure vessel body having a rectangular cross-sectional shape and formed to extend in the direction of flow of fluids, and the pressure vessel body includes a first flow channel which is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel body and through which a first fluid is caused to flow, a second flow channel which is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel body and through which a second fluid is caused to flow, a first-fluid inlet-outlet port which is provided in one longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the first flow channel and through which the first fluid is caused to flow in or out, a second-fluid inlet-outlet port which is provided in the other longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the second flow channel and through which the second fluid is caused to flow in or out, an opening portion which is provided in the one longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the second flow channel, and a closing member which closes the opening portion in a demountable manner.

A cooling system for a wind tunnel is disclosed. The heat exchanger of the present disclosure is formed as a turning vane in an airflow duct of a re-circulating wind tunnels. The individual vanes are formed from extruded aluminum with coolant fluid channels running continually down the length of the vane. One or more channels can be used, depending on the application of vane and the cooling capacity needed. The exterior of the vanes are formed in an airfoil shape to efficiently turn the air flow the desired amount in a manner well known in the art. The turning vanes are connected to a fluid supply with single piece connectors that removably attach to the turning vanes. In the depicted embodiment the connectors are attached with screws. In the depicted embodiment the connectors are formed as a single piece in a two-piece injection mold.
