A mass and heat exchanger includes at least one first substrate with a surface for supporting a continuous flow of a liquid thereon that either absorbs, desorbs, evaporates or condenses one or more gaseous species from or to a surrounding gas; and at least one second substrate operatively associated with the first substrate. The second substrate includes a surface for supporting the continuous flow of the liquid thereon and is adapted to carry a heat exchange fluid therethrough, wherein heat transfer occurs between the liquid and the heat exchange fluid.

Heat and mass exchanger

A heat exchange assembly comprises a plurality of plates disposed in a spaced-apart arrangement, each of the plurality of plates includes a plurality of passages extending internally from a first end to a second end for directing flow of a heat transfer fluid in a first plane, a plurality of first end-piece members equaling the number of plates and a plurality of second end-piece members also equaling the number of plates, each of the first and second end-piece members including a recessed region adapted to fluidly connect and couple with the first and second ends of the plate, respectively, and further adapted to be affixed to respective adjacent first and second end-piece members in a stacked formation, and each of the first and second end-piece members further including at least one cavity for enabling entry of the heat transfer fluid into the plate, exit of the heat transfer fluid from the plate, or 180&deg; turning of the fluid within the plate to create a serpentine-like fluid flow path between points of entry and exit of the fluid, and at least two fluid conduits extending through the stacked plurality of first and second end-piece members for providing first fluid connections between the parallel fluid entry points of adjacent plates and a fluid supply inlet, and second fluid connections between the parallel fluid exit points of adjacent plates and a fluid discharge outlet so that the heat transfer fluid travels in parallel paths through each respective plate.

Heat exchange assembly

The invention relates to a device for controlling the power consumption of one or more electric resistance heating element in a vessel containing a heatable liquid, at least one inlet for receiving a liquid having a first temperature, at least one outlet for removing liquid having a second higher temperature, and at least one thermostat for directing power to at least one heating element. The device has a detector for detecting one or more predetermined conditions in the vessel relating to the amount of liquid having the second higher temperature remaining in the vessel, and for generating an initiating signal corresponding to the predetermined condition. A controller is responsive to the initiating signal, and is configured for outputting a corresponding switching signal. A power modulator is responsive to the switching signal, and is configured for modulating power to at least one heating element.

Liquid heater load control

The present invention is directed to a thermal storage system and auxiliary air conditioning systems employing the same, said system employs a heat exchange assembly made from profile board or corrugated board which provides a cost efficient and light weight device for storing an energy storing medium and then using the same at desirable times to provide cooling.

Thermal storage system

A heat exchange assembly including at least one plate, preferably made from profile board, having a plurality of channels therein for the flow of a heat exchange fluid in a first plane which may be flat or curved and at least one inlet and outlet angled up to 90.degree. with respect to the first plane.
