摘要:
Heat exchange inefficiencies found in round tube plate fin heat exchangers are eliminated in an aluminum heat exchanger that includes first and second headers (20), (22) and at least one flattened tube (24), (70) extending between the headers (20), (22). A plurality of generally parallel tube runs are defined and each has opposite edges. A plurality of plate fins (26), (50) are arranged in a stack and each has a plurality of open ended slots (34), one for each run of the tubes (24), (70). Each of the tube runs (24), (70) is nested within corresponding slots (26) and the fins (26), (50) with one of the edges (40) of the tube runs extending outwardly of the corresponding fin (34). The assembly is brazed together.

A heat exchanger (10) is provided to transfer heat between a first and second fluid flow. The heat exchanger 10 includes a flow path (20) provided in the form of one or more heat exchange tubes (40, 40A-C), and a second flow path (30) provided in the form of one or more serpentine heat exchange tubes (42, 42A-C). The tube(s) (40, 40A-C) is (are) “woven” together with the tube(s) (42, 42A-C) such that they are perpendicular to each other. The heat exchanger (10) can provide particular advantages when used as a suction line heat exchanger in a transcritical cooling system (12).

A method of providing volume production of highly pressure resistant headers (10), (12) is provided and allows the headers (10), (12) to be formed of a header structure (10), (12) with a relatively thin wall portion (32) and a relatively thick wall portion (30). A strip (40) is utilized to provide the desired thickness at the thin wall portion (32) while allowing both the thin wall portion (32) and the strip (40) to have tube slots (34), (42) formed therein by a one step punching operation.

A connector assembly for a heat exchanger has a fitting and a mount to which the fitting couples. The fitting has an elongate body having a proximal portion and a distal portion. At the proximal portion there is a crossbar, and at the distal portion there are an inlet and an outlet that protrude away from the body. Two wings extend from the body in a direction opposite to that of the inlet and outlet. There is formed on each of the wings a locking protrusion. The mount has a top portion where there is a groove dimensioned to accept the crossbar of the fitting. A longitudinal channel is formed orthogonal to the groove in the mount. Two sidewalls extend from the mount each for accepting a corresponding one of the wings, when the fitting is coupled to the mount. Apertures are provided at the sidewalls to engage the protrusion at the wings so that, once the fitting is coupled to the mount, it is secured thereto, until a force is exerted to compress the wings towards each other to disengage the protrusions from the apertures. To couple the fitting to the mount, a user first positions the crossbar of the fitting onto the groove of the mount, with the body of the fitting at an angle relative to the mount. With the crossbar resting on the groove, a pivot point is established between the fitting and the mount, so that the body of the fitting can be pivotally positioned within the channel of the mount. At that time the inlet and outlet of the fitting are mated to an output port and an input port, respectively, of the mount; and the protrusions at the wings of the fitting are engaged to the apertures at the sidewalls of the mount. An infusate line and a heat exchanger are connected to the proximal end and distal end, respectively, of the fitting.
摘要:
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for accessing and manipulating data in a data flow graph. A data flow graph includes one more transforms for transforming data from one or more data stores into different formats accessible to clients. Transforms can be configured to join and split data from the same or different data stores. A metadata tree logically represents the data flow graph including locations that provide output from transforms of the data flow graph. The locations can be referenced by clients to access transformed outputs. Clients can register dependencies on data at various locations and can request evaluation of the data in response to data changes at a corresponding data store. Clients can also request data changes be propagated back through the data flow graph to one or more data stores and implemented at the one or more data stores.

A method and apparatus for calibrating a metrology tool are disclosed. The apparatus includes a substrate having at least one calibration site formed thereon. The calibration site includes a pattern of cells that have at least one feature disposed in a surface of the substrate. The feature provided for measurement by a step height metrology tool and a phase metrology tool to calibrate the step height and phase metrology tools.
摘要:
A medical device that can be used to cut a cornea. The device may include a head that houses a blade. The head and blade can be moved across a ring by a drive assembly. The drive assembly may also move the blade relative to the head to resect the cornea. The head may have a pair of tongues that can slide along corresponding grooves in the ring. The tongues and grooves may be configured so that the head can be loaded onto the ring from a vertical direction.

A highly efficient parallel flow evaporator is provided by combining a pair of identical units (10), (12) wherein each includes a pair of identical, parallel, spaced headers (40) each having slots (44) receiving the ends of identical flattened tubes (22). Identical tanks (42) are bonded to each of the headers (40) and each has an identical central flat surface (52) and an identical, centrally located port (60). Fins (26) extend between adjacent tubes (22) in each unit (10), (12) and an inlet/outlet fixture (32) is bonded to the flat surfaces (52) of one pair of tanks (42) defined by adjacent tanks (42) of both of the units (10),(12). A cross-over fixture (30) is bonded to the flat surfaces (52) of the other pair of tanks (42) defined by the remaining tanks (42) of both of the units (10),(12). The invention minimizes the number of geometrically different parts, provides an improved distributor (140) for refrigerant, provides an improved inlet passage (108) that provides a uniform stream of refrigerant to the distributor (140) and provides for the direction of refrigerant emanating from the cross-over fixture (30) in a direction parallel to the tubes (22) for improved uniformity.
摘要:
A tube assembly for use in a heat exchanger is made by arranging a first corrugated fin structure between one broad, flat side of a tube and a side sheet, and arranging a second corrugated fin between another broad and flat side of a tube and another side sheet. Compressive forces are applied to the opposite faces of the side sheets to place crests and troughs of the corrugated fin structures into contact with the side sheets and the broad, flat sides, and the assembly is brazed.
