  • Patent number: 12259197
    Abstract: A plate heat exchanger, which includes a flexible structure and/or a heating channel between the first support end plate of the plate pack and the first end plate of the outer casing, and/or an inner tube arranged inside the inlet connection tube of the first heat exchange medium for improving plate heat exchanger's ability to withstand thermal stresses caused by temperature differences, e.g. when using in heating of liquefied natural gas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2025
    Assignee: VAHTERUS OY
    Inventors: Valtteri Haavisto, Kalle Vähätalo
  • Patent number: 12241695
    Abstract: A device for use in a refrigeration or heat pump system. A device includes an outer casing which includes a longitudinal cylindrical shell and end plates arranged at both ends of the shell, and at least three units of the refrigeration or heat pump system arranged inside the same common outer casing, which units are selected from the group consisting of an evaporator, a superheater, an economizer, a condenser, a desuperheater, a sub-cooler and an oil cooler.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9366464
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for separating droplets, which comprises—an outer casing (2), which has a substantially horizontal cylindrical shell (14) and substantially vertical ends (9);—an inlet connection (7) for a substance to be vaporized for leading a substance to be vaporized into the outer casing;?—a plate pack (3) functioning as an evaporator, which is arranged inside the outer casing, in its lower part (23);—an inlet connection (10) and an outlet connection (11) for a heating substance for leading a heating substance into the plate pack and out of it;—a gravitational droplet separator (4), which is arranged inside the outer casing, above the plate pack;—an outlet connection (8) for vaporized substance for leading the vaporized substance out of the outer casing from its upper part (15);—one or more filler units (12a, 12b) arranged between the outer casing (2) and the plate pack (3) for decreasing the liquid volume of the substance to be vaporized inside the outer casing.
