A heat pipe assembly (10/110), under vacuum and having a working substance charged therein, comprising generally an evaporator (12/112) adapted to evaporate the working fluid and a condenser (16/116). The heat exchanging condenser is in fluid flow communication with the evaporator. The condenser is adapted to condense evaporated working substance received from the evaporator and has a reservoir (30/130), located at a higher elevation than the evaporator, for collecting liquid working fluid there...

A heat spreader is disclosed. The heat spreader includes a body member, a first fin connected to the body member, a second fin connected to the body member, a third fin connected to the body member, and a fourth fin connected to the body member. The first and second fins define a first spacing therebetween. The second and third fins define a second spacing therebetween. The third and fourth fins define a third spacing therebetween. The second spacing is greater than the first spacing and the thi...

An exemplary heat exchanger, suitable for use in exhaust gas recirculation to cool exhaust gas, includes a cover plate having a plurality of openings, an upper plate having a plurality of openings, a lower plate having a plurality of openings and a bottom plate where seals exist between various plates to form at least one gas flow space and at least one liquid flow space. Various other exemplary heat exchanger configurations are also disclosed.

An improved heat exchanger for an automotive vehicle, comprising at least one end tank; and at least two heat exchangers including a plurality of spaced apart extruded metal tubes with fins between the spaced tubes. The heat exchangers are disposed so that their respective tubes and fins are generally co-planar with each other and are connected to the end tank. In preferred embodiments, the heat exchanger may include a bypass element.

A heat exchanger apparatus including a two-dimensional array of heat exchanging conduits, wherein each conduit includes an inlet and an outlet, and a manifold for providing heat exchanging fluid to the inputs of the heat exchanging conduits and for receiving heat exchanging fluid from the outputs of the heat exchanging conduits.

The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger with a heat exchanger block which has a multiplicity of heat exchange passages. The heat exchanger block has mounted on it a header which extends over at least part of one side of the heat exchanger block and makes a flow connection between part of the heat exchange passages. The header is provided with a fluid connection which is arranged essentially perpendicularly to that side of the heat exchanger block over which the header extends. (FIG. 6)

A heat exchanger includes a header pipe, an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold, and coupling members. The header pipe includes a fluid circulation hole inside. The inlet manifold supplies a fluid to the fluid circulation hole of the header pipe. The outlet manifold discharges the fluid from the fluid circulation hole of the header pipe. The header pipe is connected to the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold though the coupling members.

The food warmer is a subdivided individual sectioned compartments that holds a multiple portion of foods with transparent covers and is operated by a motorized turntable that the foods. The heating is an option of electricity or battery power. The two unit heating system operates from either side of the warmer, independently of sides, with no turntable rotation when this mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated by control led heat settings to keep foods from scorching and warmer safe f...

A heat exchanger, comprising a shell designed as a pressure vessel, provided with shell-sided supply and discharge means with which the shell can be flowed through with a first medium under pressure. The heat exchanger further comprises a nest of tubes extending at least partly within the shell, provided with tube-sided supply and discharge means with which the tubes from the nest can be flowed through with a second medium in heat exchanging contact with the first medium under pressure. The indi...

A heat exchanger includes a core. The core includes a heat-exchange tube for a heat exchange medium to circulate therein. The core includes a fin joined to the heat-exchange tube. The heat exchanger includes a pair of header pipes connected with both ends of the core. Each of header pipes includes header pipe members. Each of header pipes has a joint member communicating with header pipe members. The joint member has communication holes arranged longitudinally of the header pipes at intervals.
