Thermal Energy Transfer Device Portfolio
1. Heat Exchanger: A heat exchanger is a device that allows efficient transfer of thermal energy between two fluids that are at different temperatures. It is commonly used in HVAC systems, power plants, and refrigeration systems.
2. Solar Thermal Collectors: These devices are used to convert sunlight into heat energy. They are commonly used in solar water heating systems and can also be used for space heating and cooling.
3. Radiators: Radiators are heat transfer devices that are used to cool engines or heating systems. They work by transferring thermal energy from hot fluids to the surrounding air through convection and radiation.
4. Heat Sinks: Heat sinks are passive cooling devices that are used to dissipate thermal energy from electronic components. They are commonly used in computer CPUs, power amplifiers, and LED lights.
5. Heat Pipes: Heat pipes are heat transfer devices that use the principles of capillary action and phase change to efficiently transfer thermal energy from one point to another. They are commonly used in electronics cooling, HVAC systems, and heat recovery systems.
6. Thermoelectric Generator: A thermoelectric generator is a device that converts temperature differences into electrical energy. It can be used to harvest waste heat from industrial processes, car engines, or even body heat.
7. Peltier Cooler: A Peltier cooler is a device that uses the Peltier effect to transfer heat from one side of the device to the other, resulting in cooling or heating of the respective sides. They are commonly used in mini fridges, beverage coolers, and computer cooling systems.
8. Evaporative Cooling System: An evaporative cooling system is a device that cools the surrounding air by evaporating water. It is commonly used in air conditioners, swamp coolers, and cooling towers.
9. Thermal Mass: Thermal mass refers to materials with high heat capacity that can absorb and store thermal energy. It is commonly used in passive solar heating and cooling systems to regulate temperature fluctuations.
10. Heat Recovery Ventilator: A heat recovery ventilator is a device that transfers thermal energy from outgoing stale air to incoming fresh air. It is commonly used in energy-efficient building ventilation systems to reduce heating and cooling costs.
