| 20090087355 | Variable plate heat exchangers - A heat exchanger is provided which is capable of sophisticated operations such as undertaking chemical reactions, where particular velocity profiles are required or unusual heat transfer profiles are needed and comprises a unitary heat exchanger comprising a plurality of distinct heat transfer elements or zones containing heat transfer fluid through which a process material flows wherein heat transfer fluid is delivered and removed separately to each heat transfer element or zone. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090101319 | Heat Exhanger with Varying Cross Sectional Area of Conduits - A process involving heat exchange that employs heat exchangers where the process material flows over a heat transfer surface in which a process material passes through the process conduit of a heat exchanger wherein the desired velocity profile of the process material passing through the process conduit is achieved by varying the cross sectional area of the process conduit in 3 or more locations along the path length of the process conduit which allows better regulation of heating or cooling within the system which, for some processes, will result in improved temperature control. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090120629 | Variable heat flux heat exchangers - A system for heat exchange is provided in which process material flows through a heat exchanger comprising multiple heat transfer stages and the heating and or cooling power applied to each stage can be modified independently. The system comprises a unitary heat exchanger comprising a heat transfer surface comprising a plurality of elements or zones over which a process material can flow wherein each element or zone has independent means to set or control the level of heating or cooling within that zone. | 05-14-2009 |
