Abstract

Systems and methods for disrupting a flow of refrigerant within a heat exchanger assembly. One embodiment provides a method that includes receiving, with a controller, a first signal from a first sensor, the first signal indicative of a pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the heat exchanger. The method includes setting, with the controller, an operating frequency of a valve based on the first signal. The operating frequency includes a rate at which the valve actuates between a first valve position that sets a first refrigerant flow rate through the heat exchanger and a second valve position that sets a second refrigerant flow rate through the heat exchanger. The method includes controlling, with the controller, operation of a solenoid to actuate the valve at the operating frequency.

Abstract

A plate heat exchanger includes a stack of plate pairs with gaps between adjacent pairs, arranged to provide flow paths for a first fluid to pass through inner volumes of the plate pairs while simultaneously allowing a second fluid to flow over the outer surfaces of the plate pairs. At least one cylindrical fluid manifold for the first fluid extends through the plate pairs. A non-planar cap is arranged at one end of the plate heat exchanger to close off the cylindrical fluid manifold. A reinforcement plate is arranged at that end between the non-planar cap and an end plate of the plate heat exchanger. The position of the non-planar cap relative to a central axis of the cylindrical fluid manifold is maintained in order to prevent failure of the plate heat exchanger due to internal pressurization.

Abstract

A method of cooling an electronics cabinet includes inducing a flow of cooling air to enter into the electronics cabinet, passing the flow of cooling air over electronic modules arranged within the electronics cabinet to convectively transfer heat to the flow of cooling air from the electronic modules, and directing the flow of cooling air through a door heat exchanger at an end of the electronics cabinet to exhaust the flow of cooling air from the cabinet. A first coolant flow is directed through the door heat exchanger, and heat is transferred from the flow of cooling air to the first coolant flow as they pass through the door heat exchanger. A second coolant flow is circulated through a coolant loop that is arranged within the electronics cabinet, and passes though cold plates that are joined to at least some of the electronic modules to transfer heat from those modules to the second coolant flow. Heat from the second coolant flow is transferred to the first coolant flow in a coolant-to-coolant heat exchanger arranged within the electronics cabinet. Heat is subsequently rejected from the first coolant flow at a location remote from the electronics cabinet.

Perforations extend through portions of at least some of the flanks and are aligned within two spaced apart planes. A rectangular aperture extends through at least two consecutive ones of the corrugations, and is bounded by the two planes. A method of making the air fin includes forming perforations into a continuous strip of metal sheet at regular intervals, corrugating the strip to form crests and troughs between the perforations, and punching out a portion of the strip at regular intervals. The punching out includes shearing webs between the perforations, and results in the formation of the rectangular aperture.

Tube receiving slots are arranged along the first length portion. An end cap is received into an open end of the first cylindrical portion, and is joined thereto to seal a first end of the header. An open end of the second cylindrical portion is arranged at a second end of the header opposite the first end to allow for fluid flow into or out of the header. A circumferential bead is located between the first and second cylindrical portions, and extends radially outward of the first cylindrical portion.

Abstract

A brazeable metal sheet material for heat exchanger components is used for producing a heat exchanger by a controlled atmosphere brazing process. The metal sheet material is made up of a core material with a brazing layer at least on one side and a corrosion-reducing intermediate layer arranged between the brazing layer and the core material. The core material consists of an Al3000-series alloy or an Al6000-series alloy having a magnesium content of 0.1% to 1.5% by weight. The brazing layer consists of an Al4000-series alloy having a maximum of 0.2% magnesium by weight. The corrosion-reducing intermediate layer consists of an Al1000-series alloy or an Al7000-series alloy having 0.1% to 1.5% magnesium by weight.
