    摘要: In one aspect, a hybrid heat exchanger that includes a metallic serpentine tube having an inlet end portion to receive a process fluid, an outlet end portion, and a series of runs and return bends directing the process fluid from the inlet end portion to the outlet end portion of the metallic serpentine tube. The hybrid heat exchanger further includes a thermally conductive polymer body thermally integrated with the serpentine tube. The thermally conductive polymer body has an outer surface to be contacted by a fluid, such as air and/or water. The thermally conductive polymer body is configured to transfer heat between the metallic serpentine tube and the fluid contacting the outer surface of the thermally conductive polymer body. The outer surface of the thermally conductive polymer body includes surface enhancement features that affect flow of the fluid across the outer surface of the thermally conductive polymer body.

    摘要: In one aspect, a mass exchanger having an air inlet, air outlet, airflow generator, and a tubular membrane assembly. The tubular membrane assembly includes an inlet header, an outlet header, and a plurality of tubular membranes. The tubular membranes have side walls configured to facilitate mass transfer between air contacting the tubular membranes and working fluid in the tubular membranes. The inlet header includes an inlet header body having inlet header body openings with inlet end portions of the tubular membranes extending in the inlet header body openings and inlet header potting connecting the inlet end portions of the tubular membranes to the header body. The outlet header includes an outlet header body having outlet header body openings with outlet end portions of the tubular membranes extending in the outlet header body openings and outlet header potting connecting the outlet end portions of the tubular membranes to the header body.

    摘要: In one aspect, a heat rejection apparatus is provided including an evaporative heat exchanger and a primary fan operable to direct first ambient air into an air inlet, cause the first ambient air to interact with the evaporative heat exchanger to produce heated air, and discharge the heated air from an air outlet. The heat rejection apparatus includes a plume abatement fan operable to direct second ambient air into contact with the heated air downstream of the evaporative heat exchanger and a controller operably coupled to the primary fan and the plume abatement fan. The controller has a plume abatement mode wherein the controller operates the plume abatement fan to cause the plume abatement fan to direct the second ambient air into contact with the heated air to cool the heated air and abate plume.

    摘要: An improved indirect heat exchanger is provided which is comprised of a plurality of coil circuits, with each coil circuit comprised of an indirect heat exchange section tube run or plate. Each tube run or plate has at least one change in its geometric shape or may have a progressive change in its geometric shape proceeding from the inlet to the outlet of the circuit. The change in geometric shape along the circuit length allows simultaneously balancing of the external airflow, internal heat transfer coefficients, internal fluid side pressure drop, cross sectional area and heat transfer surface area to optimize heat transfer.

    摘要: A motor mount and fan sheave assembly is provided comprising two main structural supports, with a motor mount attached to the two main structural supports such that the motor mount can slide along the two main structural supports. A motor is affixed to the motor mount, and a fan sheave affixed to the two main structural supports. A motor sheave extends from the motor, and a belt spans between the motor sheave and the fan sheave. A threaded rod passes through a receiving opening in the motor mount, such that wherein upon movement of the adjusting rod, the motor mount slides along the two main structural supports.
