Abstract:
A heat exchanger (10) comprises walls (20, 30) to form a space (40) for a flue gas. At least one channel (60) formed in at least one of the walls (20) in which a fluid is to flow. The channel (60) includes at least two straight portions (60a, 60b) which are arranged in substantially parallel to each other and are connected in series. A stagnation prevention means (64) is arranged in at least one connecting area (61 a) of the straight portions (60a, 60b) where the two straight portions (60a, 60b) are connected and which is located on the most upstream side in the channel (60) with respect to a fluid flow.
Abstract:
A co-fired generator for use in a continuous-cycle absorption heating and cooling system may provide heat to the interior of an annulus chamber from a first heat exchanger, such as a firetube heat exchanger, supplemented by heat to the exterior of the annulus chamber from a second heat exchanger containing fluid heated by an external source. Some embodiments may circulate fluid heated in a solar-heated collector through the second heat exchanger. Other embodiments may route exhaust gas from a combustion engine through the second heat exchanger. The second heat exchanger may be provided with a plurality of fins to increase the surface area available for thermal transfer between the heated fluid and the annulus chamber.

Abstract:
Water heating system and method including a boiler, a combustion chamber, and a burner housed inside the chamber. A conduit fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber to channel gas into the chamber wherein the burner causes combustion of gas. An oxygen sensor is coupled to the chamber and positioned within the chamber to detect an amount of oxygen in the products of combustion. The oxygen sensor outputs data representative of the amount to a control unit. The control unit controls the feedback control of the water heating system and wherein the combustion of the gas in the chamber is controllable by the control unit at least based on the data. A heat exchanger system is coupled to the chamber to heat water in the heat exchanger with the products. At least one flue coupled to the heat exchanger system to channel products out of the heat exchanger system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to sand casting and more specifically to sand casting of a heat exchanger element with pins and/or fins. The invention provides a core box for sand casting of workpieces comprising pins and/or fins. The core box molding surface comprises at least one air vent and pins and/or fins. The at least one air vent is integrated in at least one pin or fin.
Abstract:
A boiler (1) has a combustion chamber (3) associated with a burner (4); a primary heat exchanger (5) for transferring heat from the fumes produced in the combustion chamber (3) to a heating fluid; a fan (7) for circulating the fumes; and a secondary condensation heat exchanger (8) for recovering latent condensation heat from the fumes; the secondary heat exchanger (8) has a pipe (23) wound to form a spiral conduit (24) extending along an axis (A) and in which the heating fluid circulates; and an enclosure (25) having a substantially cylindrical chamber (26) housing the pipe (23) and in which the fumes flow over the outside of the pipe (23).
Abstract:
Apparatus for quick production of a hot liquid in particular high pressure and temperature water, provided with a premixed modulating gas burner and with a low temperature exchanger, adapted to preheat a water flow, which completely surrounds the combustion chamber by means of an annular chamber, a connection chamber and a bottom chamber, and a high temperature tubular exchanger supplied with preheated water coming from the low temperature exchanger through at least one connection circuit provided with a first three-way valve susceptible to communicate the low temperature exchanger with the high temperature exchanger selectively by means of a low pressure pump or by means of a high pressure pump.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a new heat exchanger element comprising a premix burner with an outward curved or ridged burner surface.The heat exchanger element further comprises a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is bound on one side by the burner and is further made up of water cooled metal walls which, starting from the burner and in downstream direction, first widen and thereafter narrow down to the width of a customary heat exchanger element. This creates enough space for a proper combustion, avoiding dead angles and recirculation or too early ending of the combustion reaction, thereby reaching low emissions of NOx and CO.
