Publication number: 20110174470Abstract: A spiral heat exchanger includes two assembled covers defining a chamber therebetween for receiving a spiral unit therein. The spiral unit includes a first and a second spiral member separately spirally extending from a central outlet to a peripheral outlet on the two covers to respectively form a first and a second flow passage. A driving unit is assembled to and drives the assembled covers to rotate at the same time, so that cold and hot airflows respectively enter and flow through the first and second spiral members from the central outlet to the peripheral outlet under a centrifugal force to exchange heat at the spiral unit. The spiral unit provides extended flow passages and increased heat exchange area, giving the spiral heat exchanger increased heat transfer capacity and heat exchange efficiency and allowing omission of fans and radiating fin assembly to eliminate operating noise and accumulated dust.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2010Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: ASIA VITAL COMPONENTS CO., LTD.Inventors: Shyy-Woei CHANG, Kuei-Feng CHIANG

Publication number: 20110168360Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a body having a center and a spiral guiding trough extending spirally and outwardly from the center toward an outside of the center. The radius of the spiral guiding trough increases gradually from the center toward the outside of the center. A first port and a second port are in communication with the spiral guiding trough respectively. With the combination of the spiral guiding trough and the body, the fluid can be sufficiently mixed in the spiral guiding trough, thereby achieving an excellent thermal-conducting effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2010Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicant: ASIA VITAL COMPONENTS CO., LTD.Inventors: Shyy-Woei Chang, Kuei-Feng Chiang, Yu-Min Lin

Publication number: 20110088872Abstract: A heat pipe structure includes a pipe body and a convection device. The pipe body defines a chamber enclosed in an inner wall of the pipe body. The convection device includes a rotary unit and a driving unit for creating a fluid pressure gradient in the chamber of the pipe body. The rotary unit and the driving unit are respectively located at an interior and an exterior of the pipe body. When the driving unit is excited, the rotary unit is driven to rotate under magnetic induction. With the fluid pressure gradient created in the chamber of the pipe body, the circulation of the working fluid in the chamber can be improved, and a forced convection flow of the working fluid in the pipe body is enabled to largely increase the heat transfer efficiency and heat transfer effect of the heat pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2009Publication date: April 21, 2011Applicant: ASIA VITAL COMPONENTS CO., LTD.Inventors: Shyy-Woei Chang, Kuei-Feng Chiang

Publication number: 20100263843Abstract: An inclined waved board and a heat exchanger thereof. The inclined waved board includes a board body composed of continuous waved sections. The waved sections are respectively inclined from a first side to a second side, inclined from the first side to a third side and inclined from a fourth side to the second side of the board body by an inclination. The waved sections define multiple raised sections and recessed sections on two faces of the board body. The heat exchanger is composed of multiple board bodies arranged adjacent to and in parallel to each other. Each two adjacent board bodies define therebetween a flow way. When fluids flow through the flow ways, the inclined waved sections enhance turbulence intensity and guide the fluids to produce secondary flows along the cross-sections of the flow ways so as to form dynamic three-dimensional swirling flow structure in the waved flow ways.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2009Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: Asia Vital Components Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shyy Woei Chang, Kuei Feng Chaing

Patent number: 6736192Abstract: A CPU cooler based on a flow field of impinging jet array includes a cooling base having an array of recesses on a top surface. The cooling base is disposed on a CPU. An orifice plate of a size substantially similar to the cooling base has an array of orifices with each orifice corresponding to a recess of the array of recesses.
