Abstract: An exchange apparatus comprised of hollow perfluorinated thermoplastic tubes fusion bonded into a perfluorinated thermoplastic material to form unified terminal end blocks is disclosed. The hollow tubes are shaped by plaiting the tubes into cords and thermally annealing the cords to set the bends of the plait. The apparatus can have a housing bonded to the unified terminal end blocks. In use a first fluid enters the hollow tubes at openings in a first unified terminal end block, flows through the lumens of the tubes, and exits the tubes through a second unified terminal end block. A second fluid enters the housing, is separated from the first fluid by the wall of the tubes, and substantially fills the space between the inner wall of the housing and the outer diameters of the hollow tubes. Energy is transferred between the first and second fluids through the tube walls.

Abstract: A regenerator having a plurality of involute foils disposed in an annular gap between an inner cylindrical tube and an outer cylindrical tube. The involute shape of the foils provides uniform spacing throughout the entire regenerator and substantial surface area for fluid contact.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a fluid conduit, in particular a fluid conduit for a CO2 refrigerating plant. The aim of said invention is to develop a quick and inexpensive method. For this purpose, several pipes (5-9) are simultaneously supplied by means of at least one roller (11) which is provided with peripheral grooves (14) and are helically wound in a parallel direction with respect to each other, wherein each pipe (5-9) is guided along a helical line and the helical lines of all pipes (5-9) are parallel to each other.

Abstract: The outer surface of a core pipe 31 is pressed so as to form projections 313 on the inner surface of the core pipe 31, and a winding pipe 32 is helically wound around the outer circumference of the core pipe 31. Subsequently, the core pipe 31 and the winding pipe 32 are bent together, and brazing is performed. As a result, the outer surface of the winding pipe 32 is in contact with the outer surface of the core pipe 31 without any gap therebetween at a bending center portion (D), and the outer surface of the winding pipe (32) is bonded to the outer surface of the core pipe (31) by a brazing material (33) at the bending center portion (D) of the bent part C-C.
