  • Patent number: 11946409
    Abstract: An air cooler assembly includes an air cooler having an air inlet manifold, an air outlet manifold, and a heat exchanger core connected at a first end thereof to the air inlet manifold and at a second end thereof to the air outlet manifold. A water separator includes a chamber having a first end and an opposed second end, an air inlet proximate the first end and connected to the air outlet manifold, and an air outlet proximate the second end. A water outlet is formed in a bottom surface of the chamber, and a channel is positioned beneath the water outlet. A condensate outlet is positioned on a bottom surface of the channel. A helical blade has a first end and a second end, and is positioned within the chamber between the air inlet and the air outlet.

  • Patent number: 11852068
    Abstract: A hybrid heat transfer assembly includes operating equipment having a coolant loop including a cooling fluid inlet and a cooling fluid outlet. A radiator has a radiator inlet connected to the cooling fluid outlet, and a radiator outlet connected to the cooling fluid inlet. A radiator fan proximate the radiator directs air across the radiator. A chiller includes an evaporator having an evaporator inlet connected to the cooling fluid outlet, and an evaporator outlet connected to the cooling fluid inlet. A compressor is connected to the evaporator, a condenser is connected to the compressor, and an expansion valve is connected to the condenser and evaporator. A refrigerant loop connects the evaporator and compressor, the condenser and compressor, and the expansion valve to the condenser and the evaporator. A condenser fan proximate the condenser directs air across the condenser.
