Abstract: A heat sink (50), on which is mounted heat producing elements, such as transistors (40-43), is contained entirely within a cabinet (10) provided with openings (20, 27) positioned directly below and above the heat sink. The heat sink includes a rectangular plate (52) with the transistors mounted on one side and a plurality of integrally formed parallel fins (60) projecting laterally from the plate on the other side and extending diagonally thereacross. The heat sink may be convection cooled by air entering the openings (22) in the bottom of the cabinet and exiting through openings (27) in the top, or the heat sink may be forced air cooled by means of a fan (75) mounted the rear panel (16) which draws air through the openings (22) and across the fins (60).
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for heat exchange between two liquids without solid matters contained in the liquids. The apparatus comprises a pressure vessel which is divided into a plurality of compartments, each compartment comprising an inner space having an open end and an outer annular space. A baffle having a closed upper end is provided around the upper portion of each inner space with an annular slit between the baffle and the wall of the inner space. The baffle extends to a level below the upper end of the inner space. Injection nozzles for the heat-receiving liquid are provided in the upper portion of the outer space of each compartment, and an outlet pipe is connected to the lower end of the outer space. Inlet and outlet pipes for the heat-delivering liquid are connected to the upper and lower ends respectively of the inner space.
Abstract: A heat recovery system is provided for recovering heat from flue gases and the like and heating combustion air or the like in the form of a flue gas conduit receiving hot flue gas from a furnace or the like, a metallic recuperator receiving hot flue gas from said flue gas conduit, a ceramic regenerator selectively receiving at least a part of the hot flue gas leaving the metallic recuperator, by-pass means in parallel with the ceramic regenerator receiving any of the flue gas leaving the metallic recuperator which does not go through the ceramic regenerator, stack means receiving the flue gas from the by-pass means and the ceramic regenerator means for discharge to the atmosphere, means delivering air to be heated in parallel to the ceramic regenerator and the metallic recuperator, and conduit means receiving and combining heated air from the ceramic regenerator and the metallic recuperator for delivery to a point of use.
