Abstract:
A piping connection system and method to connect a double pipe system such as a double pipe heat changer to a housing, for example a housing of a manifold. In examples, the piping connection system and method may include a transition member configured to bond or connect to the double pipe system and to the housing. In examples, the piping connection system may include a baffle configured to redirect flow from the housing to the double pipe system through an opening and towards the transition member. In examples, the piping connection system and method may be used to manufacture a quench exchanger such as a primary quench exchanger.
Abstract:
A plate heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer plates stacked together and each having openings at four corners thereof. The heat transfer plates are partially brazed together such that a first flow passage through which first fluid flows and a second flow passage through which second fluid flows are alternately arranged with one of the heat transfer plates disposed therebetween, openings at the four corners being connected forming first headers through which the first fluid enters and is discharged and second headers through which the second fluid enters and is discharged. At least one of two heat transfer plates between which the first flow passage or the second flow passage is disposed is formed by a pair of metal plates stacked together. The metal plate adjacent to the second flow passage is thinner than the metal plate adjacent to the first flow passage.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger for heating fresh water using heat from wastewater in a shower or bathtub. The heat exchanger has a drain pan, a heat exchanger unit that is arranged in the drain pan, and a distributing element for distributing draining wastewater over the heat exchanger unit. The heat exchanger unit has multiple tube portions that follow one another sequentially and are connected to one another by diverting portions. Each two horizontally running tube portions that follow one another and that are thus connected by a deflecting portion are arranged one over the other, and wastewater, which is dripping or flowing down, is sprinkled on or flows over the tube portions one after the other.
Abstract:
A compressor frame structure is provided for providing flow paths of cooling substance near an upper region of a cylinder, and includes a center ring on the frame structure having an opening for accommodating insertion of the cylinder, a plurality of flow channels near the upper region of the cylinder around an inner surface of the frame structure, and wherein the plurality of flow channels include a plurality of outer flow channels around an outer circumferential surface of the center ring, and a plurality of inner flow channels around an inner circumferential surface of the center ring.
Abstract:
A vertical bundle air-cooled heat exchanger. In one embodiment, the invention can be a vertical bundle air-cooled condenser comprising: at least one tube bundle assembly comprising: a tube bundle comprising a plurality of finned tubes arranged in a substantially vertical and side-by-side orientation, each of the plurality of finned tubes comprising a cavity; a top header pipe comprising an inlet header cavity operably coupled to a source of steam; a bottom header pipe comprising an outlet header cavity for collecting condensate; top ends of the plurality of finned tubes coupled to the top header pipe and the bottom ends of the plurality of finned tubes coupled to the bottom header pipe; and a shell having an open top end and open bottom end, the at least one tube bundle assembly positioned within the shell.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes wherein at least some of the tubes are elliptical or oval in cross section and each tube includes a longitudinal axis. Each elliptical tube includes a major axis and a minor axis. The plurality of tubes is arranged in a radial pattern such that the major axes of the elliptical tubes intersect a centerline of the heat exchanger. The plurality of tubes is connected to a heater mount and a heater is also connected to the heater mount. A securing element holds the plurality of tubes, the heater and the heater mount together. A tube liner can extend along the longitudinal axis of at least one of the elliptical or oval tubes of the plurality of tubes. If a tube liner is employed, a purge fluid flow channel is defined between an outer periphery of the tube liner and an inner periphery of at least one of the elliptical or oval tubes of the plurality of tubes.
Abstract:
This invention relates to tubing and a method for heat exchange between a first fluid which is in the tubing and a second tubing which is outside of the tubing. The tubing extends between a first end portion and a second end portion. The tubing includes an inner tube and an outer tube which is arranged on the outside of the inner tube. The inner tube being connected to the outer tube in a fluid-tight manner at the first end portion. The first end portion being surrounded by and attached to a fluid-supply pipe and there being in the second end portion, a passage between the inner tube and the outer tube.

Abstract:
A flat tube of a charge air heat exchanger, produced from at least one metal sheet that has been pressed to form an exchange plate, the pressing allowing a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet to be connected by a circuit through which a heat-transfer fluid circulates. The circuit includes at least one fluid circulation path having at least two passes which are separated by a rib, where the rib has at least one zone of lower heat exchange between two adjacent passes of the fluid circulation path. Embodiments disclosed herein also relate to the method of manufacturing the flat tube and to the heat exchanger having such a flat tube.
