  • Patent number: 11260345
    Abstract: A desiccant wheel is provided to be rotatable. Through the body of the wheel or a surface adsorbent, water vapor in humid air flow is adsorbed. By passing a high-temperature air flow through the wheel, the body or surface coating is regenerated with moisture removed. Along a cross-section radial, the wheel is divided into different areas. The body has three-dimensionally inter-connected pores. The pores can be of different types. The wheel is a complete concentric cylinder or a concentric cylinder comprising equal or unequal sectors. The equal or unequal sectors are separated with each other. The wheel can rotate at a fixed speed for continually repeating a process of adsorbing, transiting, and regenerating. Thereby, drying can be carried out without causing physical or chemical change to heat-sensitive material, which also improves drying efficiency, reduces size, lowers power consumption, and helps in carbon reduction for industry.

  • Patent number: 10302379
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for detecting the quality of a heat pipe. The apparatus has an infrared (IR) thermal imager bound with a data computing-and-analyzing program to detect thermal conductivity quality and vacuum quality of the heat pipe. An online overall detection is thus provided to quickly detect the quality of the heat pipe without damage for efficient quality control. Requirements of quality detection are met for mass production of heat pipes. The apparatus comprises the heat pipe to be tested; a tape adhered to a surface of the heat pipe; a fixed base for disposing the heat pipe; a heating device in an allocation space of the fixed base; the IR thermal imager located facing to the tape; a signal line connected to the IR thermal imager; and an electronic device connected to the IR thermal imager through the signal line.

  • Publication number: 20150114598
    Abstract: A device of heat transfer is provided. A heating pipe is connected with an external heat source. A communicating pipe set is contacted with a heat sink. A heat-transfer fluid spontaneously circulates inside reverse thermosiphon loop and transfers heat downwardly. A heat source is located at a higher level and the heat sink is located at a lower level. Heat transfer distance is long and no additional power is required. The heat transferred can be used for heating other fluid or solid. Besides, the heat can be used for transforming thermal energy into electric energy in conjunction with a Stirling engine, an organic Rankine engine or a thermoelectric module.

  • Publication number: 20140070533
    Abstract: A fast heat transfer device is provided. The device dissipates heat and generates power at the same time. A liquid flow is used to absorb heat for forming a vapor gas flow; then, the gas flow drives a blade turbine and a power generator; and, finally, the gas flow is cooled down to become the original liquid flow for recycling. Thus, the present invention dissipates heat and generates power simultaneously with a minimized size and a reduced cost together with energy conservation.
