    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for cleaning a 3D printed article, in particular a 3D printed heat exchanger (10). After 3D printing, an article may have internal passages (2) formed from bonded powder and said passages may contain unbonded powder that needs to be removed before further use of/processing of the article. To remove this unbonded powder, the article is filled with a cleaning fluid and vibrated. The cleaning fluid is then pumped out of the article and past a sensor (14) that generates a magnetic field. The sensor detects the presence of powder particles in the fluid by detecting a perturbation of the magnetic field caused by said particles. The fluid is then filtered and returned to a reservoir for use. The sensor may indicate the article is sufficiently clean when a detected concentration of particles in the fluid drops below a threshold.

    摘要: A component 10 that generates or requires heat includes a heat exchanger 16 integrated with the component 10. The component 10 includes a component housing 12 holding functional parts 14 of the component, and the heat exchanger 16 has a heat exchanger housing 18 formed integrally with the component housing 12. There is a first fluid circuit in which a first fluid flows through the component 10 in a heat exchange relationship with the functional parts 14, into the heat exchanger 16 via a first fluid inlet 22, through the heat exchanger 16, out of the heat exchanger 16 via a first fluid outlet 24, and back to the functional parts 14 of the component 10. The heat exchanger 16 has a second fluid inlet 26 and a second fluid outlet 28 for connection into a second fluid circuit in which a second fluid flows from outside of the component 10 into the component housing 12 and into the heat exchanger 16 via the second fluid inlet 26, out of the heat exchanger 16 via the second fluid outlet 28 and out of the component housing 12. The heat exchanger housing 18 contains a removable heat exchanger core 20 for exchange of heat between the first fluid in the first fluid circuit and the second fluid in the second fluid circuit, with the heat exchanger core 20 being separate to the heat exchanger housing 18 and removable from the heat exchanger housing 18 during maintenance operations.

    摘要: A heat transfer segment (102) for a curved heat exchanger (101), wherein the heat transfer segment (102) comprises a plurality of enclosure bars (108, 109) that at least partially define two opposite ends (1021, 1022) of the heat transfer segment (102), wherein the two opposite ends (1021, 1022) define respective general planes, characterised in that: the enclosure bars (108, 109) are shaped and arranged such that the general plane of one end (1021, 1022) of the heat transfer segment (102) is not parallel with the general plane of the other end (1022, 1021) of the heat transfer segment (102), such that when said heat transfer segment (102) is joined to an adjacent heat transfer segment in an end-to-end fashion the enclosure bars (108, 109) the heat transfer segment (102) may join to corresponding enclosure bars of the adjacent heat transfer segment thus forming an angular offset between the two adjacent heat transfer segments.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger monitoring system 10, 30 and a method of monitoring a heat exchanger 11. The system comprises a heat exchanger 11 capable of receiving a flow F of a working fluid therethrough. A first sensor 12 is disposed upstream of the heat exchanger 11 for measuring at least one property of fluid relating to an amount of contaminant material carried by a first flow entering the heat exchanger 11 and configured to output a first sensor signal indicative of the measured property of the fluid. A second sensor 14 is disposed downstream of the heat exchanger 11 for measuring the same property of the fluid relating to an amount of contaminant material carried by a second flow exiting the heat exchanger 11 and configured to output a second sensor signal indicative of the measured property of the fluid. A monitoring device is configured to receive and compare the first and second sensor signals to thereby determine a variation in the property relating to the amount of contaminant material carried by the fluid as it passes through the heat exchanger.
