Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a three-dimensional parking system, which mainly includes a supporting upright column, an annular railway, a parking platform, a platform bracket, a vertical power system, a rotating power system, and a platform interlocking system. A safety of a vehicle during transportation in a parking and picking up process can be improved by setting the platform interlocking system. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional parking system of the disclosure adopts a modular design, which facilitates assembly and transportation. The parking platform can be moved interactively by lifting and rotating, enabling that the vehicle can be parked and picked up quickly. The overall three-dimensional parking system has small floor area and high safety, so that urban space is used for parking efficiently and conveniently, thereby providing a subversive, multi-functional, and high-tech solution to the problem of parking difficult in cities at present.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a first flow circuit structure having at least a first portion defined by a plurality of conduits and a second flow circuit structure having at least a second portion disposed at the first portion such that walls of the second portion are disposed between the conduits and are free to move relative to the conduits. Fluid flowing through the first flow circuit structure is fluidically isolated from fluid flowing through the second flow circuit structure.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a first fluid manifold extending along a first fluid axis from a first fluid inlet to a first fluid outlet. The first fluid manifold comprises a inlet header, a outlet header, and a multi-helical core section.

Abstract: A heat exchanger system is disclosed herein that extends between a first component and a second component. The heat exchanger system includes a hot flow path configured to convey hot fluid between the first component and the second component, a cool flow path configured to convey cool fluid, and a heat exchanger located between the first component and the second component along the hot flow path and the cool flow path. The heat exchanger includes at least one curve to accommodate the hot flow path and is configured to reduce the temperature of the hot fluid by allowing the transfer of thermal energy from the hot fluid to the cool fluid.
