Abstract
An apparatus for use in a counter flow heat exchange assembly that provides increased heat exchange. The apparatus includes a plurality of adjacently spaced arrays, each array having a plurality of cooling conduits that are connected to one another through the utilization of connector portions. In addition, the apparatus includes a vertical partition that extends between some or all conduits of each array.
Claims24
An evaporative apparatus for use in a counter flow heat exchange assembly comprising:
- a plurality of generally vertical arrays adjacently spaced laterally to each other said arrays each comprising a plurality of generally horizontal cylindrical conduits each having a conduit diameter extending across the heat exchange assembly in spaced relation to each other at different vertical levels of the counter flow heat exchanger assembly, each said array having connector portions that connect vertically adjacent conduits to each other;
- and
- a plurality of generally vertical partitions each extending between at least some of said conduits in each said arrays and at least some of said partitions extending between less than all conduits of each said arrays wherein said partitions each further comprises a plurality of rib portions spaced from one another that extend at least part of the vertical length of said partition.
