The heat exchanger block comprises a number of tubes and a number of fins, the fins having a predetermined spacing determined by the spacer means. The method includes the steps of locating the fins in a carrier and pressing the fins onto the tubes, and providing spacer means for the fins, whereby the spacer means supports a fin during the pressing step and determines the spacing between the fins in the assembled heat exchanger. Each of the fins has apertures for the tubes, the apertures engaging the tubes. Each of the spacer means has openings for the tubes, the openings being larger than the apertures.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2011Publication date: September 19, 2013Inventor: David Bland Pierce

Publication number: 20130233527Abstract: A tubular radiating seat integrally formed by one working procedure comprising a hollow radiating seat structured by punching or extruding (hydraulic) certain aluminum solid disk. A front part or a middle part of the tubular radiating seat has an integral closed end. Several slots are integrally formed on an outer wall of the tubular radiating seat for combining with a correspondent fin set. The closed end formed on the front part of the tubular radiating seat has a protrudent periphery integrally structured. Moreover, a sunken part is integrally structured in the protrudent periphery, and a groove is formed on an inner wall of the sunken part by a turning procedure. Attaching the closed end, the protrudent periphery, or the sunken part to a heating unit contributes to the rapid heat absorbing effect and the favorable heat dispersion efficiency. The design of the groove preferably matches to a light cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2012Publication date: September 12, 2013Inventor: Tsung-Hsien Huang

Publication number: 20130048257Abstract: A heat fin includes first and second halves, each half including a curved portion configured to partially surround a pipe, and a plurality of planar portions spaced generally evenly from one another. Each of the planar portions extends outwardly from the curved portion and generally runs along the entire length of the respective half it is part of. The first and second halves are configured to be bolted to one another around a pipe. A system includes a large scale container having product contained therein, an internal coil within the large scale container having a heating medium flowing therethrough, and a heat fin secured to the internal coil. The heat fin increases heat transfer from the heating medium flowing through the internal coil into the product contained in the large scale container.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2012Publication date: February 28, 2013Inventor: Thomas William Perry

Patent number: 8354779Abstract: A heat sink for an LED downlight utilizes tilted fins forming helical air passages that can enhance thermal performance by 30% over conventional fins. To overcome the thermal challenge of installation within the stagnant hot air of insulated ceiling cans, a heat sink has an integral electrostatic air pump on its exterior, to move hot air downwards and drain the stagnant air from the can by establishing a chimney-like circulation up through the heat sink and back down around the outside of the heat sink. The air mover can be powered by a compact high-voltage, low-current power supply similar to those of neon signs. An embodiment of the heat sink is also revealed that is suitable for cooling an LED replacement for standard screw-in or equivalent light bulbs. This device can perform well in variety of orientations (horizontal, vertical, etc.) and fixtures.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2010Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Light Prescriptions Innovators LLCInventors: Waqidi Falicoff, Yupin Sun, William A.
