Abstract:
A process for liquefying a tube side stream in a main heat exchanger is described. The process comprises the steps of: a) providing a first mass flow to the warm end of a first subset of individual tubes, b) providing a second mass flow to the warm end of a second subset of individual tubes, c) evaporating a refrigerant stream on the shell side; d) measuring an exit temperature of the first mass flow; e) measuring an exit temperature of the second mass flow; and, f) comparing the exit temperature of the first mass flow measured in step d) to the exit temperature of the second mass flow measured in step e), the process characterized in that at least one of the first and second mass flows is adjusted to equalize the exit temperature of the first mass flow with the exit temperature of the second mass flow.

Abstract:
An exhaust gas heat exchanger including connection points for the exhaust gas flow, for connecting the exhaust gas heat exchanger to an exhaust gas supply line for supplying a hot exhaust gas and an exhaust gas withdrawal line for withdrawing the exhaust gas flow cooled in the exhaust gas heat exchanger. The exhaust gas flow flows through the exhaust gas heat exchanger in a bundle of exhaust gas guiding pipes in a flow direction. The exhaust gas heat exchanger is provided with at least one coolant supply connection and at least one coolant withdrawal connection. Coolant is guided in a coolant channel in the exhaust gas heat exchanger, inside which it flows around the bundle of exhaust gas guiding pipes. The coolant channel includes at least two regions which differ in terms of the flow direction of the exhaust gas flow by divergent flow directions of the coolant.

Abstract:
A heat exchanger (1) for gas, in particular the exhaust gases of an engine, comprising a bundle of tubes arranged inside a shell (2) and intended for the circulation of gas with an exchange of heat with at least one stream of refrigerant fluid, said tubes being fixed by their ends between two support plates (5) coupled at each end of the shell (2), and deflection means arranged inside the shell (2) able to direct the at least one stream of refrigerant fluid inside the shell (2). The deflection means comprises a longitudinal deflector (6, 6a) substantially parallel to the tube bundle and intended to divide the shell (2) into two circuits, said deflector (6, 6a) being fixed by its longitudinal edges to the internal walls of the shell (2) and by its transverse edges to the two support plates (5) by welding. This ensures more effective mounting of said deflector inside the exchanger.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for effective cooling of electronic devices are presented herein. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention comprise one or more heat pipes thermally coupled to electronic components and to a first heat sink and a second heat sink. The heat pipes are constructed to transfer heat generated at the one or more electronic components to the first heat sink and to the second heat sink. The first heat sink is operable to transfer heat energy to the ambient air using dissipation or advection. The second heat sink is able to transfer heat energy to the ambient air using dissipation. A controller is operable to switch between a passive mode of operation and an active mode of operation. The system can operate in a passive mode only in temperatures less than 25 degrees Celsius, can switch operation between a passive mode and an active mode without throttling in temperatures less than 60 degrees Celsius, can switch operation between a passive mode and an active mode in temperatures greater than 60 degrees Celsius while maintaining about 85% or greater maximum processing speed, and can operate in a passive only mode with minimal throttling.
Abstract:
A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a heat exchange unit through which a hot air stream and a cooling air stream flow. The heat exchange unit includes a hot air inlet pipe situated on a rear face of the heat exchange unit, to carry the hot air stream into the heat exchange unit, and a cooling air discharge pipe situated on the rear face of the heat exchange unit to expel the cooling air stream from the heat exchange unit, the hot air inlet pipe and the cooling air discharge pipe being concentric with each other. The hot air stream flows from the rear face forward to a front of the heat exchange unit, then from the front of the heat exchange unit, to a rear of the heat exchange unit, so as to be expelled via the rear face of the heat exchange unit.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a compact heat exchanger for use in a mobile cleaning apparatus. The compact heat exchanger utilizes a water jacket, created by the annular space between a concentrically arranged internal housing and external housing. A radiator is enclosed within the internal housing. As super heated exhaust gas is supplied to the internal housing, heat is transferred to the surface of the internal housing before passing through the radiator. During operation of the mobile cleaning apparatus, incoming fluid, typically water, flows through an inlet and is directed through the water jacket and then the radiator for heating.
