  • Publication number: 20210235635
    Abstract: A greenhouse for growing plants includes a growing area for growing crops and a climate control system for controlling the greenhouse interior climate in the growing area. This control system includes a condenser for dehumidifying greenhouse air, a greenhouse air heat exchanger for heat-exchange between greenhouse air derived from the growing area upstream of the air inlet of the condenser and in the condenser dehumidified greenhouse air downstream of the air outlet of the condenser, a first controllable bypass for allowing greenhouse air to bypass the greenhouse air heat exchanger, a controllable fan, a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the air discharge of the heat exchanger and with the growing area and having a controllable inlet for introducing ambient air from the greenhouse exterior environment, and an outlet having a controlled fan for air in fluid communication with the growing area.

  • Patent number: 9429365
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger tube sheet sealing elements are arranged on respective ends of heat exchanger tubes. Said ends of the heat exchanger tubes having the sealing elements are arranged at predetermined positions in a mold. Said ends of the heat exchanger tubes are sealed such that a tube sheet material to be casted in the mold does not enter the heat exchanger tubes during casting of the tube sheet material. A tube sheet material is casted in the mold for covering the sealing elements. The tube sheet material is hardened in the mold.

  • Patent number: 9091488
    Abstract: The invention relates to an evaporator (10) for heat exchange between fluids, comprising a housing (12) having at least one inlet (20; 27) and at least one outlet (26, 28; 29) for each fluid, the inlet and outlet for each fluid being connected to one another by a flow path (38; 58), the flow path (38) of a first fluid comprising multiple heat exchange modules (60) comprising at least one longitudinal hollow tube (36), wherein the modules (60) are arranged in a stack spaced apart from the housing (12) leaving free a gap (59), and wherein a module (60) is provided with at least one connector (50) for connecting to a co-operating connector of an adjacent module, such that the gap (59) between the housing and the stack defining at least a liquid recycle zone for containing the second fluid and a phase separation zone for separating a vapor phase and a liquid phase of the second fluid and the space (56) enclosed between adjacent modules in the stack defining a flow path (58) for a second fluid, parallel to the flo
