Patent number: 8875779Abstract: A heat dissipation element with mounting structure includes a main body and a plurality of mounting elements. The main body includes a first side and a second side, between which a chamber is defined; a plurality of supports located in the chamber and respectively connected at two opposite ends to the first side and the second side of the main body; a working fluid filled in the chamber; and at least one wick structure layer internally attached to the chamber. The mounting elements respectively define an axial bore and have an end extended through the first side of the main body into the supports to thereby connect to the main body. With these arrangements, the heat dissipation element with the mounting elements connected thereto can tightly contact with a heat-generating element and maintain the chamber in the main body in an airtight state without leakage.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Asia Vital Compenents Co., Ltd.Inventor: Cheng-Nan Lien

Patent number: 8876078Abstract: An HVAC inspection frame device facilitates inspection within an HVAC system. The device includes a frame having a perimeter wall defining a channel extending through the frame. A lower flange is coupled to the frame extending inwardly into the channel from an interior face of the perimeter wall. Thus, the lower flange is configured for supporting the frame on a furnace. An upper flange is coupled to the frame extending inwardly into the channel from the interior face of the perimeter wall. Thus, the upper flange is configured to support the evaporator coil on the upper flange. An aperture is positioned in the perimeter wall for insertion of an optical inspection device to provide an image of the evaporator coil or furnace without time consuming disassembly or drilling of existing structure. A plug is insertable into the aperture engaging the perimeter wall and closing the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2013Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Inventor: Daniel N. Gates

Publication number: 20140318738Abstract: A separator device for separating coils of a heat exchanger assembly has a top surface opposite a bottom surface, and an inner portion opposite an outer portion. The inner portion and the outer portion extend between the top surface and the bottom surface. The separator device further includes a pair of sides extending between the inner portion and the outer portion, each of the sides defining a concave curve having an apex. A lug is provided to connect the apex of each concave curve. At least one ramp is defined on the top surface and/or the bottom surface, extending from the inner portion toward the lug. The lug is arcuately shaped to project away from the top surface and the bottom surface and is shaped to correspond to a gap between adjacent coils of the heat exchanger assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: William P. Bernardi, Mark MacLean-Blevins
