Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger of an exhaust heat recovery apparatus having a simple structure which is configured such that exhaust gas is evenly distributed, thereby preventing a boiling phenomenon wherein coolant water is boiling, and improving efficiency of heat exchange and durability of the apparatus.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for providing a counseling service. A method of operating a counseling center server interworking with an instant messaging service includes creating, based on an input of a first user requesting counseling for a channel registered in the service, a first counseling ticket corresponding to the channel, determining whether the first counseling ticket is created due to switch to manned counseling during unmanned counseling based on a type of the requested counseling and a second counseling ticket created before the first counseling ticket by a request of the first user, updating an indicator for a counseling status of the channel based on a result of the determination and counseling data stored in correspondence with the second counseling ticket, and providing the updated indicator for the counseling status to a terminal of a second user linked to the channel.

Abstract: A method of operating a counseling center server interworking with an instant messaging service includes, in response to a request for opening a counseling center of a channel registered in the service, creating a counseling center module corresponding to the channel, receiving a search request based on a message transmitted to a chat room of the channel included in the counseling center module, transmitting a query corresponding to the search request to a search medium interworking with the counseling center module based on an interworking structure of the counseling center module, the search medium comprising at least one of a knowledge database and a chatbot, creating a search result corresponding to the search request based on a response to the query received from the search medium, and requesting an instant messaging server providing the service to transmit the search result through the chat room.

Abstract: A heat exchanger including a plurality of fluid channel plates laminated on each other to form a cooling water fluid channel through which cooling water flows and an air fluid channel through which air flows. The fluid channel plates have a cooling water inlet hole through which the cooling water is introduced and a cooling water outlet hole through which the cooling water is discharged. Beads block the flow of the cooling water, protrude between the cooling water inlet hole and the cooling water outlet hole, are arranged to surround the periphery of the cooling water inlet hole and the cooling water outlet hole, and are spaced apart such that flow resistance of the cooling water decreases as a flow length of the cooling water increases, so that flow distribution of the cooling water can be uniform.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exhaust gas cooling apparatus and, more specifically, to an exhaust gas cooling apparatus capable of reducing flow resistance and improving heat exchange performance, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of heat exchange tubes (200), which is spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the width direction and has a height longer than the width, and through which an exhaust gas flows; and a main plate (300) including a first communication hole (310) to which one end of each of the heat exchange tubes (200) is fixed and a second communication hole (320) to which the other end of each of the heat exchange tubes (200) is fixed.
