摘要:
A heat exchanger in which a heat exchanger core is disposed within a casing which includes a side wall formed by bending a plate into the form of a sleeve in which edges of the plate are in adjacent, confronting relationship with an inwardly projecting, transversely extending deformation, the deformation being disposed between a pair of press members with one of the press members being transversely inserted within the sleeve. The press members are moved together to remove the deformation with resultant pivoting of the edges into abutting contact or overlapping relationship. The heat exchanger core is formed of a plurality of stacked plate pairs each having a plate in inverted orientation. Outwardly projecting ribs of anticlastic form are so formed in each plate that the ribs on each plate of each plate pair are interengagingly intersect with the ribs on the adjacent plate of the adjacent plate pair accurately to align the plate pairs in the heat exchanger core.

A headerless heat exchanger has a core comprised of a stack of flat tubes of rectangular cross section through which a first heat exchange fluid passes. The tubes are expanded in height at their end portions to provide spaces between adjacent plate pairs for passage of a second heat exchange fluid between the tubes. The sides of the tubes are coplanar, at least in the end portions of the tubes, to provide flat surfaces along which the core is sealed to side plates of the heat exchanger, for example by brazing or welding. The side plates may be separately formed or may comprise part of a continuous housing. The tubes are preferably formed from plate pairs having nesting side walls.

Surface cooled heat exchanger that includes a substantially planar shim plate with spaced apart integral first and second end walls extending laterally therefrom, and a separately formed cover plate having a central wall with integral first and second side walls extending from opposite sides of the central wall portion. The first and second side walls of the cover plate are sealably joined to respective side edges of the shim plate, the first and second end walls are sealably joined to respective ends of the cover plate. The central wall portion and shim plate are spaced apart with an internal fluid passage being defined therebetween with inlet and outlet openings provided in flow communication with the fluid passage to allow fluid to flow into, through, and out of the fluid passage. Includes a fin plate having a planar support wall with a first side abutting against and secured to the shim plate and an opposite facing second side along which a plurality of exposed cooling fins are provided. The end walls are each preferably formed from portions that have been partially cut from the planar shim plate and folded about a fold line to extend substantially perpendicular to the shim plate. Flow circuiting baffle plates may similarly be provided in the fluid passage.
摘要:
A heat exchanger useful for high temperature applications such as EGR cooling and fuel reformer applications comprises a tube bundle made up of a plurality of tubes, each having at least one end expanded to an enlarged polygonal cross-section, and having central portions with a generally smaller cross section. When the tubes are formed into a bundle, the enlarged end portions nest with one another and interstitial spaces are provided between the central portions of the tube. The enlarged end portions are preferably retained by a header ring having a multifaceted inner peripheral sidewall which is adapted to form brazed lap joints with the outward facing surfaces of the peripheral tubes end portions in the tube bundle. In one preferred arrangement, axially aligned enlarged portions are provided intermediate the ends of at least some of the tubes. These enlarged intermediate portions nest with one another and eliminate or reduce the need for baffle plates.

A plate and fin type heat exchanger has a heat exchanger core made from a plurality of stacked, alternating first and second heat exchange plates of a generally inverted, U-shaped cross-section. Each plate has a top wall, closed peripheral sidewalls and open ends, and the open ends of the first plates are oriented at 90° to the open ends of the second plates. The sidewalls of the plates have end portions, which in adjacent plates, are aligned to form corners of the heat exchanger core. Opposed U-shaped manifold bodies are provided having open ends and lateral walls joined in a fluid tight manner to the aligned plate sidewall end portions. End plates close off the open ends of the U-shaped bodies to form manifolds. The corners formed by the aligned plate sidewall end portions allow for an improved connection between the heat exchanger core and the U-shaped manifold bodies. This helps to ensure that a fluid tight seal is created between the heat exchanger core and the manifold bodies when the components are joined together.

Embodiments of the present invention include switching amplifier circuits and methods. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a low distortion method of driving a switching amplifier comprising modulating an audio input signal to produce a half-wave rectified pulse-width modulated signal and a complementary half-wave rectified pulse-width modulated signal. These signals may be amplified in a power amplifier and combined in a feedback circuit to generate a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal, which may be coupled the inputs of a modulator for controlling the output signal.
摘要:
A reflex algorithm for assessing cardiac patients, which does not require human decision-making in selecting assays to be performed. Performance of further biochemical marker tests on a patient is dependent upon the outcome of previously conducted tests. The reflex algorithm focuses on obtaining the most accurate test information as early as possible from several different tests run in very short intervals. The reflex algorithm may be implemented by a computer that can copy requests for the most appropriate test to the loadlists of automated clinical chemistry and immunoassay analyzers. Also provided is an integrated platform for executing clinical chemistry assays and immunoassays according to a reflex algorithm.
