    摘要: A heat accumulator device is provided having a metal phase-change material as an accumulator material, the heat accumulator device including at least one a holding chamber having a holding space for the accumulator material, a housing for the holding space, at least one heat input apparatus for inputting heat into the at least one holding chamber, and at least one heat output apparatus for outputting heat from the at least one holding chamber. A coupling region of the heat input apparatus, provided for thermal coupling to the accumulator material, and/or a coupling region of the heat output apparatus, provided for thermal coupling to the accumulator material, is arranged, at least in part, at a distance from the accumulator material.

    摘要: A fluid heat exchanger for cooling an electronic device can have a plurality of walls. The walls can define a corresponding plurality of microchannels. Each microchannel can extend from a first end to a second end. The plurality of microchannels can define at least two opposed outer microchannels and a centrally located microchannel positioned between the opposed outer microchannels. A fluid inlet passage can be configured to deliver a heat-exchange fluid to each microchannel between the corresponding first end and the corresponding second end of the respective microchannel. A fluid outlet passage can have an enlarged outlet region from the centrally located microchannel compared to a corresponding outlet region from one or both of the opposed outer microchannels. Related methods are disclosed.

    摘要: An economical ground heat exchanger system uses water-filled membrane liners in cylindrical augured holes. A submersible pump in a drain reservoir is shared by multiple boreholes. Thermal connection with a building or industrial process occurs through a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the reservoir. The pump sends water tempered by the heat exchanger to the water-filled holes, where it exchanges heat with the ground before overflowing through gravity drain piping back to the reservoir for continued recirculation. Heat transfer with the ground occurs through thermal contact between the water, the membrane liners, and earth supporting the liners. Optional raised borehole support rims maintain an “above grade” water level and allow removed soil to be re-used as a berm or planter over manifold pipes that connect the system components, thus eliminating the cost of trenching for the manifold pipes.

    摘要: At least one of an evaporator, a condenser, a liquid pipe, and a vapor pipe includes a first outer metal layer, a second outer metal layer, and an inner metal layer including a porous body. The porous body includes a first bottomed hole formed in one face of the inner metal layer; a second bottomed hole formed in the other face of the inner metal layer; a pore, and a first convex portion provided inside the first bottomed hole. The first convex portion has a proximal end connected to a bottom face of the first bottomed hole and a distal end provided on an opposite side to the proximal end in a thickness direction of the first convex portion. The distal end is provided at a position further recessed toward the bottom face of the first bottomed hole than the one face of the inner metal layer.
