摘要： A thermoelectric power unit is provided. The power unit may include at least one thermoelectric device. A first fluid passage may be disposed on a first side of the thermoelectric device and may be configured to receive a hot exhaust stream. The power unit may further include a plurality of heat pipes configured to focus thermal energy from a fluid flowing through the first passage toward the first side of the thermoelectric device. A second fluid passage may be disposed on a second side of the thermoelectric device opposite of the first fluid passage and configured to conduct thermal energy away from the thermoelectric device.

摘要： A method of manufacturing a metallic foam based heat exchanger includes positioning an aluminum foam block, for example, within a housing defining a first fluid passage, and placing the block in contact with a second portion of the housing defining at least one other fluid passage, the second housing portion being an extrusion. A brazing flux material and a brazing filler are applied to at least one of the foam and the extrusion, the foam being thermally coupled to the extrusion with the brazing filler via heating in a brazing furnace. A heat exchanger includes a housing having a fluid passage with a metallic foam such as an aluminum foam therein. The metallic foam is attached to a metallic extrusion such as an aluminum extrusion, and connected therewith via a thermally conducting brazing filler. A method of cooling oil in an internal combustion engine is further provided, including the step of passing high temperature oil through an aluminum foam in a fluid passage of a first housing portion, and passing low temperature fluid through a second passage in a second housing portion. Heat is exchanged between the high temperature oil and the low temperature fluid at least in part via a thermally conducting attachment material joining the aluminum foam with the second portion of the housing.

摘要： A cooling system for a work machine may comprise a reservoir configured to hold a supply of fluid, a source of pressurized fluid and a valve configured to receive the pressurized fluid from the source of pressurized fluid. A first working unit and a second working unit may be connected to the valve in parallel. One of The first and second working units may be adapted to receive pressurized fluid on a priority basis from the valve. The first and second working units may be fluidly connected to the reservoir by a circulation conduit and may be connected to a first heat exchanger by a bypass conduit. The bypass conduit may be configured to pass only a portion of the fluid flow to be passed from the first and second working units to the first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger may be fluidly connected to the reservoir and may be adapted to pass the portion of the fluid flow to the reservoir.
