  • Publication number: 20210222955
    Abstract: A pulse loop heat exchanger, under vacuum, having a working fluid therein, comprising a heat exchanger body, a first continuity plate, and a second continuity plate is provided. The heat exchanger body, first continuity plate and second continuity plate comprise a plurality of channels and grooves on different elevated plane levels, respectfully. The different elevated plane levels result in increased output pressure gain in downward working fluid flow portions of the grooves, boosting thermo-fluidic transport oscillation driving forces throughout the heat exchanger. The second continuity plate comprises a second continuity plate attachment surface having a third elevated continuity channel. In addition to providing for fluid transport and boosting oscillation driving forces, the third elevated continuity channel also provides an internal reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20210180703
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a control valve which includes a valve body and a valve gate. The valve gate is movably located inside the inner space. The control valve has a lower flow rate limit which is greater than zero. That is, the lower flow rate limit has no necessary to be zero, thus it is acceptable to have a cylindrical valve gate but not a spherical valve gate. Therefore, the valve gate can be directly installed into the valve body via the opening, which allows the valve body to be made of a single piece so as to simplify the processes of manufacturing and assembly.

  • Publication number: 20210168968
    Abstract: A liquid cooling heat exchange apparatus has a water block set and a liquid pump module. The water block set has a heat transfer surface configured to exchange heat with a cooling liquid. The liquid pump module is securely mounted on the water block set and has a flow-directing containment area and pumps. The flow-directing containment area forms flow-directing containment recesses and the pumps correspond to the flow-directing containment recesses. Therefore, pumps are connected in series or parallel so that the pumps can juxtapose with each other, which lessens the entire thickness and allows the liquid cooling heat exchange apparatus to be utilized in a narrow space. Besides, with the connected pumps, an amount and a speed of the flow may be increased and dissipate more heat. Even if part of the pumps malfunctions, the remaining pump(s) can maintain a basic amount and speed of the flow.
