The present invention discloses an audio playing system for protecting a storage medium of an electrical device. The audio playing system includes a detecting unit, a processing unit, an adjusting module and a playing module. The detecting unit detects vibration of the electrical device to generate a detection signal corresponding to the vibration. The processing unit compares the detection signal with the tolerable vibration value of the storage medium to generate a comparison result, and generates an adjustment signal according to the comparison result. The adjusting module adjusts an audio file according to the adjustment signal to generate an adjusted audio file. The playing module plays the adjusted audio file. The present invention also discloses an audio playing method for protecting a storage medium of an electrical device.

This invention is a tube bundle heat exchanger for thermophoretic deposition of aerosol particles. It has a housing with an internal chamber, and several cold and hot tubes. The cold and hot tubes are arranged in a staggered manner in the internal chamber of the housing. Low and high temperature fluids flow inside the cold and hot tubes, respectively. When the exhaust gas passes through the chamber, temperature gradient between the cold and hot tubes causes aerosol particles suspended in the exhaust gas to deposit on the surface of cold tubes to achieve the treatment of exhaust gas. Staggered arrangement of cold and hot tubes can maintain nearly constant temperature gradient in the direction of the gas flow thereby enhances the overall removal efficiency of particles.
