  • Patent number: 10161685
    Abstract: Embodiments of a heat exchanger, e.g. a micro-channel heat exchanger are disclosed. The heat exchanger may include a plurality of rows of micro-channel tubes, each of which can be configured to direct a working fluid in a specific direction. The heat exchanger may include one or more distributors in a distribution header of the heat exchanger, each of which can be connected to a different application circuit (e.g. a refrigeration circuit) so that a capacity of the heat exchanger may be regulated. The heat exchanger as disclosed herein can be used as an evaporator and/or a condenser in a refrigeration system.

  • Publication number: 20090029070
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method whereby it is possible to obtain nanowires by means of applying a laser radiation and simultaneously injecting a supersonic gas stream on the precursor material in atmospheric conditions and at room temperature. This method involves a considerable improvement compared to conventional methods because it can be carried out on commercial samples without any prior preparation, a very precise control of the process and environmental conditions not being necessary, which significantly decreases the process time and the economic cost thereof. The method object of the present invention also allows synthesizing nanowires in very reduced processing times.
