Including A Means To Form Fluid Film On Heat Transfer Surface (e.g., Trickle) Patents (Class 165/DIG163)
  • Patent number: 6105663
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat dissipation unit for cross flow type cooling tower with which it is possible to prevent the emission of white vapor without lowering the cooling power of the cooling tower, and also without requiring troublesome routine operation. In order to accomplish the above object, the heat dissipation unit of the present invention comprises filling plates arranged vertically and parallel with each other so as to form spaces therebetween, each of the filling plates having uneven surfaces down which water to be cooled flows when water to be cooled is supplied onto the filling plates, and cowl members disposed between neighboring filling plates, each of the cowl members including a pair of side plate portions having upper ends and a roof portion connecting the upper ends of the side plate portions.

  • Patent number: 5671804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger element (10) comprising a bag formed from a compliant material like plastic sheet (11). The lower part of the bag ends to a condensate receiver (13), which is provided with a drain pipe (14) for the condensate. The upper part of the bag has means for introducing the vapour into the bag and distributing the liquid to be evaporated onto the outer surface of the bag. It is characteristic that inside the bag a perforated corrugated plate (12) is fitted in vertical direction with its width (L) chosen so that the bag tightens suitably around the corrugated plate. The length (P) of the corrugated plate (12) corresponds to a major portion of the length of the bag. A perforated corrugated plate (12') is fitted in horizontal direction against the outer surface of the bag with its length (P') substantially corresponding to the width of the bag.
