  • Patent number: 11656011
    Abstract: A condenser includes a fluid inlet in an upper manifold and a fluid outlet in a lower manifold. The condenser includes multiport tubes provided with a plurality of separate flow channels which are delimited by outer opposite side walls and internal intermediate walls extending between the outer opposite side walls of the tubes. The multiport tubes define a channel space between them. A plurality of cooling plates extend between the upper manifold and the lower manifold. The cooling plates are in thermal contact with the multiport tubes to receive a heat load from fluid in the flow channels. The cooling plates have outer edges which protrude out from the channel space and are directed away from the channel space.

  • Patent number: 11277939
    Abstract: An evaporator includes an inlet in a lower manifold, an outlet in an upper manifold, and a multiport tube extending between the lower manifold and the upper manifold. The multiport tube provides a flow path between the lower manifold and the upper manifold. One of the outer side walls of the multiport tube is provided with a first evaporator section with a first heat receiving surface and a second evaporator section with a second heat receiving surface, the first and second evaporator sections passing a heat load received via the respective first and second heat receiving surfaces to a fluid in said multiport tube. The first and second heat receiving surfaces form an angle with each other to align with and contact different surfaces of an object to be cooled.

  • Patent number: 10755872
    Abstract: A generator switch including an encapsulation lying at ground potential and an electrical conductor arranged in an insulated fashion inside the encapsulation and at high-voltage potential, as well as a gravity-driven cooling device having an evaporator and a condenser arranged above the evaporator and a coolant. The cooling device is formed as a closed loop-type coolant circuit. During operation of the generator switch, a level of the liquid coolant in the line system in a static cooling device is at least as high as the upper end of the insulating section in the insulator.
