  • Patent number: 11940228
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-temperature fluid transporting pipeline with a heat exchange apparatus installed therein, a suitable heat exchange apparatus and a heat exchange method, wherein heat contained in a high-temperature fluid can be recovered during the transportation thereof. The heat exchange apparatus comprises a heat exchange body inserted into the high-temperature fluid transporting pipeline, and a heat-receiving fluid coil installed therein. The method of heat exchange is that the high-temperature fluid heats an auxiliary fluid in a heat exchange cavity via a heat exchange panel of the heat exchange body in contact therewith, and the heated auxiliary fluid then conducts the heat to a heat-receiving fluid in the heat-receiving fluid coil.

  • Patent number: 11396642
    Abstract: Provided are a tumour immunogen, a preparation method therefore, and an application. After localised sequential cooling-heating treatment is performed on tumour tissue and/or cells, the tumour tissue and/or cells release a large amount of tumour immunogen heat shock protein 70. The obtained tumour immunogen can activate the body's tumour immune system, to convert immunosuppressive cells into mature dendritic cells, thereby increasing immunogen presentation, and activating tumour immunity.
