  • Publication number: 20150241129
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a first header pipe, a second header pipe, a third header pipe, a fourth header pipe and a plurality of flat tubes, the first header pipe is provided with a first space and a second space and a communicating passage for communicating the first space with the second space; when refrigerant flows from the first space of the first header pipe to the second header pipe along the flat tubes, a part of the refrigerant passes through the communicating passage and directly enters into the second space of the first header pipe, thus an overall flow resistance of the heat exchanger may be decreased to some extent. Besides, the flow quantity of the refrigerant in the third flow path is constant, however fluid state parameters may change, which may greatly improve the heat exchange capacity of the third flow path, thereby improving the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger on the whole.

  • Patent number: 8669544
    Abstract: Amongst the candidates for very high efficiency solid state light sources and full solar spectrum solar cells are devices based upon InGaN nanowires. Additionally these nanowires typically require heterostructures, quantum dots, etc which all place requirements for these structures to be grown with relatively few defects and in a controllable reproducible manner. Additionally flexibility according to the device design requires that the nanowire at the substrate may be either InN or GaN. According to the invention a method of growing relatively defect free nanowires and associated structures for group IIIA-nitrides is presented without the requirement for foreign metal catalysts and overcoming the non-uniform growth of prior art non-catalyst growth techniques. According to other embodiments of the invention self-organizing dot-within-a-dot nanowire and dot-within-a-dot-within-a-well nanowire structures are presented.
