Publication number: 20070228113Abstract: A method of manufacturing a metallic foam based heat exchanger includes positioning an aluminum foam block, for example, within a housing defining a first fluid passage, and placing the block in contact with a second portion of the housing defining at least one other fluid passage, the second housing portion being an extrusion. A brazing flux material and a brazing filler are applied to at least one of the foam and the extrusion, the foam being thermally coupled to the extrusion with the brazing filler via heating in a brazing furnace. A heat exchanger includes a housing having a fluid passage with a metallic foam such as an aluminum foam therein. The metallic foam is attached to a metallic extrusion such as an aluminum extrusion, and connected therewith via a thermally conducting brazing filler.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Ronald Dupree, James Callas, Jeremy Trethewey

Publication number: 20060242951Abstract: A combustion burner refractory material retention system is provided. The system may include a tubular enclosure having a first section and a second section, wherein the first section has an internal cross-sectional area that is less than an internal cross-sectional area of the second section. A refractory material body may be disposed within the tubular enclosure second section. A first support layer may be disposed on a surface of the refractory material body, and at least one outer support layer may be disposed between the refractory material body and a wall of the tubular enclosure second section. The first support layer may form an insulating barrier between the refractory material body and the outer support layer, and a cross-sectional area of the combined refractory material body and first support layer may be at least as large as the internal cross-sectional area of the tubular enclosure first section.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventors: Cho Liang, Matthew Kiser, Dave Thaler, Gregory Kaufmann, Mari Balmer-Millar, Jeremy Trethewey
