FOAM HEAT EXCHANGER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: heat power engineering. SUBSTANCE: air is supplied to housing 1 of the foam heat exchanger and directed to slot nozzles 3 through pyramidal section 2. Slot nozzles 3 consist of inner baffle 4, air deflectors 5, and two gradually diverging vertical passageways 6 that turn the air flow by 180 deg. The air, flowing through slot nozzles, enters the liquid in pan 13 from which the liquid is displaced under the action of the air to working chamber 14 wherein a turbulent gas-liquid flow is generated. In this flow the liquid is intensively cooled. The cooled liquid enters a heat-liberating facility through collector 12. Heated liquid is supplied for cooling through collector 7. The air, that has received heat from liquid, is supplied to drop catcher 10 through intermediate section 9, wherein it decelerates, and is removed from the apparatus through section 11. EFFECT: intensified heat exchange. 1 tbl
