  • Patent number: 9909817
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling element (11) comprising: a fluid channel (1) providing a pulsating heat pipe, a first evaporator (14) for receiving heat from electric components (15) and for passing the heat into fluid in the fluid channel (1), and a first condenser (18) for receiving fluid from the first evaporator (14) via the fluid channel (1) and for cooling fluid in the fluid channel. In order to obtain an even temperature distribution at the first evaporator (14) an adiabatic zone where the temperature of the fluid in the fluid channel (1) remains unchanged or a cooling zone, with a second condenser (20) cooling fluid in the fluid channel (1), separates the first evaporator (14) from the loops (6) in the second end (12) of the fluid channel.

  • Patent number: 9903491
    Abstract: An explosion vent mounted to seal an opening formed on a wall of a closed space comprises a cover being dimensioned to fit on said opening and having a perimeter with an edge adapted to seal the cover against the opening with a sealing element. A spring element is arranged to hold the cover in the opening and the spring element has a direction of spring action. The cover is held by opposite retaining surfaces in the opening and the cover and he retaining surfaces are acting against the spring action of element. The sealing element is positioned against the opening so that the sealing force is directed at least partially crosswise to the direction of the spring action of the spring element.
