A hybrid engine system includes: an engine; a generator driven by the engine to output electrical energy; a battery configured to store electrical energy produced by the generator or supply electrical energy together with the generator; and a controller configured to control the engine, wherein the controller includes a torque meter for measuring torque of an output shaft of the engine and a current meter for measuring output current of the generator, and is further configured to change a control mode of the engine when a reduction rate of at least one of the torque and the current is greater than a set value while the engine is operating in a fly mode.

Hybrid engine system and method of controlling the same

Provided is a heat exchanger heat transfer enhancement device, and in particular, to a heat exchanger heat transfer enhancement device by allowing a fluid flowing into a heat exchanger to form a uniform flow field. A flow distribution device is disposed at an inlet of a pipe through which a fluid is introduced, and the flow distribution device includes a plurality of holes formed on a circumferential surface and an end portion to distribute the fluid to the center and the periphery. Also, a flange is formed at one end and coupled between the pipe and a diffusion portion. The distributed fluid passes through a heat exchanger, and here, one or more screens are disposed to make a flow field of the fluid more uniform.
