  • Patent number: 10809018
    Abstract: Two side channels are for mounting the first heat exchanger. Each side channel defines a back and two side walls protruding from the back. An elongate member is at each end of a tank of the first heat exchanger. Each elongate member extends through the tank and being attached at each end to one of the side walls of one of the two channels so that the elongate member spans the channel to mount the first heat exchanger to the channel. The tank includes a recessed region between two parts of the tank and the elongate member extends through an aperture defined in each of the parts, such that an exposed portion of the elongate member is outside the tank. The second heat exchanger is mounted to the exposed portions of two elongate members of the first heat exchanger via connecting unit.

  • Patent number: 10677144
    Abstract: A heat exchanger system includes a radiator and a charge air cooler. The charge air cooler includes two interconnected cores, being a first core mounted next to the radiator and a second core mounted upstream of the radiator so that air output from the first core does not pass through the radiator.

  • Patent number: 9243846
    Abstract: A heat exchanging apparatus comprises a first heat exchanger, oil cooler, arranged to allow ambient air to pass therethrough and a second heat exchanger, radiator, adjacent the first heat exchanger and arranged to allow air exiting the first heat exchanger to pass therethrough. The apparatus further comprises a third heat exchanger comprising two or more interconnected heat exchanging cores, charge air coolers. Each core is arranged to allow ambient air to pass therethrough.

  • Patent number: 5902386
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner assembly having a separator of reduced dimensions. The separator is operated at preferably between about 20,000 rpm-30,000 rpm and includes a reduced number of slots formed therein. A labyrinth sealing plate and fan adapter are secured to an upper end of the separator to prevent water and dust and dirt particles from bypassing the separator during operation. The separator is preferably spaced from about 1.0 inch to about 6 inches above the upper surface of the liquid in a liquid reservoir of the vacuum cleaner assembly with which the separator is used. The separator, because of its reduced dimensions and weight, is able to be driven with a small conventional, and less costly and less powerful motor at a higher speed than previously designed separators without suffering breakage. The higher speed of 20,000-30,000 rpm helps to prevent the airflow through the separator from being impeded because of the reduced number of slots.
