Description

DEVICE USING A MEDIUM HAVING A HIGH HEAT TRANSFER RATE

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a heat transfer medium with a high heat transfer rate, a heat transfer surface, and a heat transfer element and device using the heat transfer medium.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Efficiently transporting heat from one location to another always has been a problem. Some applications, such as keeping a semiconductor chip cool, require rapid transfer and removal of heat, while other applications, such as dispersing heat from a furnace, require rapid transfer and retention of heat. Whether removing or retaining heat, the heat transfer abilities ofthe material utilized define the efficiency ofthe heat transfer.

[0003] For example, it is well known to utilize a heat pipe for heat transfer. The heat pipe operates on the principle of transferring heat through mass transfer of a fluid carrier contained therein and phase change ofthe carrier from the liquid state to the vapor state within a closed circuit pipe. Heat is absorbed at one end of the pipe by vaporization ofthe carrier and released at the other end by condensation ofthe carrier vapor. Although the heat pipe improves thermal transfer efficiency as compared to solid metal rods, the heat pipe requires the circulatory flow ofthe liquid/vapor carrier and is limited by the association temperatures of vaporization and condensation ofthe carrier. As a result, the heat pipe's axial heat conductive speed is further limited by the amount of latent heat of liquid vaporization and on the speed of circular transformation between liquid and vapor states. Further, the heat pipe is convectional in nature and suffers from thermal losses, thereby reducing the thermal efficiency. It is generally accepted that when two substances having different temperatures are brought together, the temperature ofthe warmer substance decreases and the temperature ofthe cooler substance increases. As the heat travels along a heat-transfer tube from a warm end to a cool end, available heat is lost due to the heat transfer capacity ofthe tube material, the process of warming the cooler portions ofthe tube and thermal losses to the atmosphere.

[0004] To overcome the intrinsic limit ofthe materials, the inventor discloses a composition and the method for preparation in U.S. Patent No. 6,132,823, issued October 17, 2000.

[0005] In that Patent, the heat transfer medium was made up of three layers deposited on a substrate. The first two layers were prepared from solutions that are exposed to the inner wall ofthe tube. The third layer was a powder comprising various combinations. The first layer was placed onto an inner tube surface, the second layer was then placed on top ofthe first layer to form a film over than inner conduit surface. The third layer was a powder preferably evenly distributed over the inner conduit surface.

[0006] The first layer was nominated an anti-corrosion layer to prevent etching of inner conduit surface. The second layer was said to prevent the production of elemental hydrogen and oxygen, thus restraining oxidation between oxygen atoms and the conduit material. The third layer is called the "black powder" layer. It is said that the layer can be activated once it is exposed to thermal activation point 38°C. Thus it is said that removing any ofthe three layers ofthe heat transfer medium in the previous patent will cause an adverse impact on heat transfer performance.

[0007] In addition, the method for preparing the prior medium was complicated and cumbersome. For instances, formation ofthe first layer may involve nine chemical compounds prepared in seven steps. Formation ofthe second layer may involve fourteen compounds prepared in thirteen steps. Formation ofthe third layer may involve twelve compounds prepared in twelve steps. In addition, if the components of each layer are combined in an order not consistent with the listed sequence and conforming to the exceptions noted in my patent, the solutions made for such preparation were potentially unstable. [0008] Generally, the heat transfer medium used by the present invention eliminates or improves upon many ofthe noted shortcomings and disadvantages. The preferable heat transfer medium of this invention was made up of one layer deposited on a substrate while the most preferable one is one single layer. The layer was prepared from a group of twelve inorganic compounds selected from the list below and formed in a single layer. The improved medium not only reduces the number and types of compounds used in the medium, but also effectively reduces the number of steps required for the preparation ofthe medium without compromising heat transfer efficiency.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] In accordance with the present invention and these contemplated problems to be solved, the present invention utilizes a heat transfer medium with a high heat transfer rate that is useful in even wider fields, simple in structure, easy to made, environmentally sound, and rapidly conducts heat and preserves heat in a highly efficient manner.

[0010] The heat transfer medium used in the present invention provides, typically in an inorganic nature, which is a composition. The composition comprises or, in the alternative, consists essentially ofthe following compounds mixed together in the ratios or amounts shown below. The amounts may be scaled up or down as needed to produce a selected amount. Although the compounds are preferably mixed in the order shown, they need not be mixed in that order.

0.8%, most preferably 0.723%; and,

[0012] The present invention also provides a heat transfer surface comprising a surface substrate covered at least in part by the heat transfer medium with a high heat transfer rate.

Silver Dichromate (AgCr₂O₇), 0.5%-1.0 %, preferably 0.7-0.8 %, most preferably 0.723 %;

[0359] The percentages as expressed above are those ofthe final composition by weight, once the composition has been dried to remove the added water. [0360] A most highly preferred composition used in the present invention is made in accordance with the following contents, in which the following inorganic compounds are added in the amounts shown below, with a variation within +/- 0.10% of each compound, and in the manner discussed below:

Cobaltic Oxide (Co₂O₃), O.Olg;

Boron Oxide (B₂O₃), 0.02g; Calcium Dichromate (CaCr₂O ), 0.02g;

Magnesium Dichromate (MgCr₂O₇D6H₂O), 0.2g; '

Potassium Dichromate (K₂Cr₂O ), 0.8g;

Sodium Dichromate (Na Cr₂O ), 0.2g;

Beryllium Oxide (BeO), 0.001 g;

Titanium Diboride (TiB₂), 0.01 g;

Potassium Peroxide (K₂O₂), O.OOlg;

A selected metal or Ammonium Dichromate (MCr₂O ), O.lg; where "M" is selected from the group consisting of potassium, sodium, silver, and ammonium;

Strontium Chromate (SrCrO ), O.Olg; and

Silver Dichromate (Ag₂Cr O ),0.01g. start here

[0361] The compounds are added sequentially in the order as listed above to a container containing 100 ml of generally pure, preferably twice-distilled, water until dissolved. The mixture is mixed at ambient temperature, e.g., about 18- 20°C, and then preferably heated to a temperature in the range of 55-65°C, preferably at about 60°C, and then stirred and mixed at such temperature for, e.g., about 20 minutes, until complete dissolution is attained. The composition is then ready for application.

[0362] The heat fransfer medium used in the present invention may be applied to any suitable substrate, e.g., placed upon a metal pipe or even glass pipe, so long as the chosen surface is substantially free of metallic oxides, grease or oils. To optimize the quality ofthe resulting heat fransfer composition, it is preferable to apply the composition in a very low humidity environment, e.g., 35-37% relative humidity, in any event less than about 40% relative humidity. It is also desirable to apply the composition to a closed volume that is isolated from water (vaporous or liquid) once applied.

[0363] To achieve desirable heat conductivity in a heat transfer pipe or cavity containing the composition, the quantity ofthe heat transfer medium added to the chamber is dependent on the volume of that cavity. Preferably, the ratio ofthe volume ofthe composition used in the invention to the cavity volume is desirably maintained within the range of 0.001 to 0.025, preferably 0.01 to 0.025, best at the ratios of 0.025, 0.02, 0.0125, and 0.01. There is no need to perform any pre- coating step to the pipe. Once the cavity or pipe is packed or filled with desirable amount ofthe medium, it is heated up to 120°C to permit evaporation ofthe twice-distilled water. The pipe or cavity is then sealed and is ready for use as a heat transfer device.

[0364] The amount ofthe heat fransfer medium used to prepare the transfer pipe may be varied according to the intended use ofthe finished products. The preparation ofthe improved medium and the manufacture of a high heat fransfer surfaces or fransmission pipe using the heat fransfer medium ofthe present invention may be achieved and completed in one single step. [0365] The improved medium may be operated at a temperature range of 70- 1800°C without losing its characteristics. The surface may be constructed in various shapes pursuant to the shapes ofthe intended products without being restricted by any construction angles. For instance, the pipe may be made in a straight, curved, zigzag, grid, spiral, or an undulating shape. The pipe can then be applied to a variety of fields of application uses pursuant to the external dimensions.

[0366] It has been observed that thermal conductivities and heat transfer rates for the medium used in the present invention exceed 32,000 times that of pure, metallic silver.

[0367] It should be noted that if the components ofthe improved medium are combined in an order not consistent with the listed sequence, the medium can become unstable and may result in a catastrophic reaction. Further, should metals be used as substrates for the medium ofthe present invention, it is recommended that the metal be clean, dry, and free of any oxides or scales. This can be accomplished by conventional treatment including, for example, sand blasting, weak acid washing, or weak base washing. Any materials used to clean and treat the pipe should be completely removed and the inner pipe surface also should be dry prior to adding the medium to pipe. The following section will elaborate on the technical content ofthe present invention, referring to some examples of non- restrictive applications.

Example 1

[0368] A high heat fransfer heat medium was prepared by the following process, and the compounds were added in the manner as discussed below:

Cobaltic Oxide (Co₂O₃), O.Olg;

Boron Oxide (B₂O₃), 0.02g;

Calcium Dichromate (CaCr₂O ), 0.02g;

Magnesium Dichromate (MgCr₂O D6H₂O), 0.2g;

Potassium Dichromate (K₂Cr₂O ), 0.8g;

Sodium Dichromate (Na₂Cr₂O ), 0.2g;

Beryllium Oxide (BeO), O.OOlg;

Titanium Diboride (TiB₂), O.Olg;

Potassium Peroxide (K₂O₂), O.OOlg;

Strontium Chromate (SrCrO₄), O.Olg; and

Silver Dichromate (Ag₂Cr₂O ),0.01g. [0369] The compounds were added sequentially in the order as listed above to a container containing 100 ml of twice-distilled water until dissolved. The mixture was mixed at ambient temperature of 20°C and heated to a temperature of 60°C, and then stirred and mixed at such temperature for 20 minutes, until complete dissolution was attained. The composition was then ready for application.

Example 2 [0370] The composition obtained from Example 1 was used as a heat transfer medium. Under the relative humidity of 36%, the heat transfer medium ofthe present invention is applied to a substrate of a metal pipe, selected from carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and nickel and alloys thereof, or non-metal pipe, either glass or ceramic, and then formed into the required heat transfer elements. The selected surface ofthe substrate is substantially free of metallic oxides, grease or oils. To optimize the quality ofthe resulting heat fransfer composition, it is preferable to apply the composition in any event less than about 40% relative humidity. The composition used as the heat transfer medium is sealed in the cavity ofthe heat transfer element after application so as to be isolated from water (vapor or liquid). The cavity can be sealed after being vacuumed if necessary.

[0371] To achieve desirable heat conductivity in a heat fransfer pipe or cavity containing the composition, the mass ofthe heat transfer medium ofthe present invention applied is dependent on the volume of that cavity or pipe. The medium ofthe present invention is applied over the selected surface, an inner wall ofthe cavity or pipe, with the ratio ofthe composition volume to the cavity volume at 0.025, 0.02, 0.0125, or 0.01. There is no need to perform any pre-coating step to the pipe. Once the cavity or pipe is packed or filled with desirable amount ofthe medium, it is heated to 120^°C to permit evaporation ofthe twice-distilled water. The pipe or cavity is then sealed and is ready for use as a heat transfer element in a heat transfer device.

[0372] The amount of the heat fransfer medium of the present invention used to prepare the pipe may also be varied according to the intended use ofthe finished products. The preparation ofthe improved medium and the manufacture of high heat fransfer surfaces (ofthe cavity or pipe) using the heat fransfer medium ofthe present invention may be achieved and completed in one single step.

[0373] The improved medium may be operated at a temperature range of 70- 1800°C without losing its characteristics. The surface may be constructed in various shapes pursuant to the shapes ofthe intended products without being restricted by any construction angles. For instances, the pipe may be made in a straight, curved, zigzag, grid, spiral, or an undulating shape. The pipe can then be applied to a variety of fields of application pursuant to the external dimensions. [0374] A standard heat pipeline is a technique of rapidly transferring thermal energy from a source end to a sink end ofthe pipeline by the absorption and emission of extensive amount of latent heat during the liquid vaporization and vapor condensation, respectively. The heat transfer rate in axial direction depends on the vaporization heat of a liquid and the transformation rate between liquid and vapor. It is also restricted by some factors, such as the adjustability of materials and that the temperature and pressure should not be too high. [0375] A heat pipe element ofthe present invention axially transferred heat in a rate much faster than that of any other metal bars or standard heat pipes. The pressure intensity inside the heat pipe element is much lower than that of any other heat pipes. The upper limit ofthe allowed temperature equals the highest temperature of application for the heat pipe element. According to the present invention, the pipe element may be designed and manufactured to meet the various requirements in size and shape. Applications of gigantic heat transfer elements mainly include geothermal snow melting, roadside ice melting, coal storage pile cooling, etc. Applications of large heat fransfer elements comprise large-scale boilers, furnace pre-heaters, heat exchangers, etc. Medium heat fransfer elements can be used in medium-scale boilers/pre-heaters and heat recovery boilers. Small heat transfer elements are mainly used as radiators of electric/electronic apparatus. Applications of micro heat transfer elements include radiators for electric/electronic apparatus, CPU, etc. [0376] FIG. 1 A and IB show perspective and cross-sectional views, respectively, ofthe heat-transfer pipe according to the present invention. As shown in these two drawings, a heat transfer pipe element 102 comprises a heat transfer medium 110 applied to an inner wall surface ofthe heat transfer pipe element, a cavity 105, a pipe 108, a hole 106, and a plug 104 for sealing the hole 106.

[0377] FIG. 1 C shows the electric water heating part of an elecfric water heater, implementing a built-in electric heating cone 114 to go through the heat transfer pipe element 112, which serves as a heat source. The electric water heating part comprises the heat transfer pipe element 112 applied with the heat transfer medium to an inner wall surface as discussed in Example 1 , the electric heating cone 114, and a cold water intake 116 as well as a hot water outlet 118 of a heat pipe surrounding the heat transfer pipe element 112. [0378] To improve the heat exchange rate ofthe heat transfer pipe element, ribs or fins can be welded, pressed; or alternatively fabricated to the basic pipe element, as FIG. 1CA shows, in which the heat fransfer element comprises a heat transfer pipe element 120, fins 122 and holders 124. FIG. 1CB shows a gas-heating device having a curved heat transfer pipe element 126 with externally connected ribs 128 and using a built-in electric heater 129 as a heat source. [0379] The heat fransfer pipe elements ofthe present invention may be joined to one another, referred to as a pipe-pipe element, for practical uses. The pipe- pipe element is featured with such features as efficient heat transfer rate, evenly- distributed temperature, high flexibility in assembly, and variable density of heat flow, etc. A heat exchanger made ofthe pipe-pipe elements is characterized by its compact or small volume and low surface dissipation, thereby increasing the heat efficiency and conserving elecfrical energy. The pipe-pipe elements all work independently so that damage in any end ofthe elements will not result in mixing of two kinds of exchange fluids. Damage in any individual pipe-pipe element will not affect the normal function ofthe other elements. Damage or malfunction in small parts ofthe pipe-pipe elements will not affect the normal operation of whole equipment.

[0380] These elements can be categorized into two groups according to its assembly measure, namely integrated pipe-pipe combination element and separated pipe-pipe combination element. The integrated pipe-pipe combination element assembles the heat fransfer pipe elements ofthe present invention in a juxtaposed or staggered way. It is often used in applications requiring uniform heating such as thermostatic heating, flammable and explosive chemical raw materials in gaseous or liquid phase. The techniques of processing chemical gaseous and liquid raw materials can be very demanding and difficult. Most chemical fluidic raw materials are inflammable, explosive and poisonous gases, which are sometimes pressurized. Productive techniques of heating gaseous or liquid raw materials should be even and thermostatic, with elimination of any leakage.

[0381] FIG. 1 CC shows a heat exchanger with spiral heat transfer pipe elements. It is an application of integrated pipe-pipe combination externally connected with ribs or fins. The application comprises heat fransfer pipe elements 130, a rotary tube plate 132, a closure structure 134 and a spiral heat pipe heat exchange device body 136. The medium reflux in the designed spiral heat pipe is driven by centrifugal force and gravity, which causes a significantly higher fransfer rate of heat and mass as compared to that in a connected heat pipe. This is because centrifugal force reinforces counter flow in the vaporizing segment, thereby increasing heat exchange rate in this segment and maximizing heat flux density when it is boiling. The centrifugal force in the condenser segment increases the heat transfer coefficient in the pipe by enhancing working medium reflux and reducing the thickness ofthe liquid film. In addition, the turning heat pipe also strengthens heat exchange between the pipe and the surrounding. The compact structure and spiral feature ofthe pipe also serve to resolve technical problems such as soot accumulation, soot blockage and corrosion. [0382] FIG. ID shows a combined application ofthe heat transfer pipe element ofthe present invention and the separated pipe-pipe combination element. The working theory lies in that the heat receiving segment absorbs heat and then transports heat to external medium via a heat transfer pipe element in the heat- dissipating segment. In order to reinforce the entire heat exchanging cycle, ribs or fins can be applied to the pipe elements, as shown in FIG. 1CB. The separated pipe-pipe combination element is mainly used in the following applications: (1) massive heat recovery in smoke (in the rate between hundreds of thousands and millions of standard cubic meters per hour) when there is no leak of two fluids (in liquid vaporization and vapor condensation); and (2) heat dissipation in a sealed instrument cabinet producing considerable heat. In FIG. ID, the afterheat storage 138 transports afterheat from the integrated single pipe-pipe combination 142 to the heat pipe 146 connected to the integrated single pipe-pipe combination 144. Then the afterheat travels from the integrated single pipe-pipe combination 144 to the heat recovery storage 140. Medium of lower temperature in the heat pipe 148 flows back to the heat recovery storage 138 and is heated by the integrated single pipe-pipe combination 142. This well-developed thermostatic design overcomes the problems with corrosion caused by low temperature smoke due to uneven pipe wall temperature after the on the heat pipe has been used for a certain period of time since temperature at its cold end is slightly higher than that at the hot end. [0383] FIG. IE shows a plate heat transfer element. One ofthe features ofthe plate element is that it creates a surface of extremely small temperature gradient, which equalizes temperature, eradicating the hot points produced by the heater. Alternatively, it can be used to produce a very effective radiator to cool the device above it. Applications of flat element lie in manufacturing thermostatic plates such as drying plates, grillers, radiators for electronic device or electric appliance of small height yet broad area, laptop CPU radiators, etc. As FIG. IE shows, when heat absorbing components (152, 154, 156, 158 and combinations) are applied to the edge or center of a plate surface, heat will scatter along the larger surface. Figs. 1EA and 1EB show top and side views of an application with of two assembled, piled plate elements. Plate elements can be applied to three aspects in terms of cooling electronic elements: (1) equalizing the temperature of multiple rows of elements; (2) cooling multiple rows of elements; (3) serving as the casing of instruments or installation platform. [0384] FIG. IF shows a pipe-plate combination element, its intake and outlet port. The radiator is a pipe-plate combination heat transfer element. When heat flow passes through the inner cavity ofthe pipe, it launches the medium in the annular space so as to dissipate heat to air via the plate. The advantage of this device is that it transports heat from the pipe 160 to the plate, so as to create a surface of extremely small temperature gradient to equalize temperature. It also converges heat to the end ofthe pipe through the plate cavity 162. [0385] FIG. IG is a combined application of plate-plate elements. Electronic elements 164, 166 and 168 are installed on an upright flat component 169 as a heat-receiving segment. A scattered flat component 170 that may also serve as an upper plate ofthe casing is used as a heat-dissipating surface for the casing. The electronic elements installed on the upright plate takes very little installation space ofthe object so that more elements can be installed onto the object.

[0386] Silicon carbon tubes or other elecfric heating elements with large power, long lifespan and small size can be used as electric heating elements to allow ease of installation and replacement. The operating temperature ofthe pipe- pipe combination element can be controlled effectively by simply taking the heat exchange area and control input power into consideration.

Measurement Process for Heat Transfer Efficiency

[0387] A pair ofthe pipe elements in Example 1 is made to demonstrate thermal conductivity and effective thermal conductance ofthe heat transfer medium ofthe present invention and to exemplify the use ofthe material in various processes of transferring heat.

[0388] The demonstration tubes are each dimensioned to 2.5-cm diameter (dia.) x 1.2-m length, with an open cylindrical attachment of 7.5-cm dia. x 10-cm length welded to one end ofthe tube to accommodate a close-fitting and slightly tapered heater (5-cm dia. x 9-cm length). The interiors ofthe demonstration tubes, after cleaning, are coated with a thin coating ofthe heat transfer medium of the present invention made according to the procedure outlined previously. [0389] The demonstration heat fransfer tubes are each instrumented by attaching up to nine calibrated thermocouples at well-defined positions along the outer circumference ofthe tubes. Temperatures at these points are monitored and recorded as they respond to varying levels of electrical heat input to the heater located at a base ofthe tubes. In some instances, redundant temperature sensors and monitoring instruments are used, particularly at the two ends ofthe tube, to ensure that no significant mis-measurement of temperature occurs. [0390] These experiments are performed in a safety-sealed vented closure approximately dimensioned to 1.2 x 1.6 x 1.0 m. To minimize temperature stratification within the test chamber, the experiment is operated with a tested demonstration heat fransfer tube situated at an angle of 10° from the horizontal. Input powers and temperatures are monitored in this configuration to quantify the heat transfer rate within the tested demonstration heat fransfer tube. [0391] The various temperatures are measured using seven Type J thermocouples placed equidistantly along a tube dimensioned to 1.2-meter length and 2.5-cm diameter. Another thermocouple is placed on a larger diameter tube housing the heater. These thermocouples are held in place using steel hose clamps. The remaining thermocouple measures room temperature. [0392] Thermocouples are connected to a Keithley #7057 A thermocouple scanner card inside a Keithley 706 scanner. The junction block on the 7057A has a thermistor temperature sensor and is used to compensate for the cold- temperature junction. Standard fourth-order polynomials are used to perform the junction compensation and temperature calculations. [0393] Power is supplied to the tube heater from a Hewlett Packard (HP) 66000 A power supply, mainly configured with eight HP 66105 A 125 A/120V power modules. Two sets of four power supplies are wired in parallel, with the net outlet ofthe two sets wired in series to yield a 5 A/240 V power supply. This power supply system yields a very stable heater power over the length ofthe experiment. The actual current is measured as a voltage across a Kepco 0.1- Q/200 watt (W) standard current resistor in series with the heater. The heater voltage is measured by voltage sense wires attached to the heater terminals. [0394] These two voltages are measured by a Keithley 7055 general purpose scanner card in the same model 706 scanner mentioned above. The outlet signal ofthe scanner boards is input to a Keithley 195 A 5 1/2 digital multi-meter (DMM) operating in direct current voltage mode. A Macintosh Ilsi computer, using an IO Tech model SCS1488 IEEE-488 interface, confrols the scanner and DMM. The results were saved on the computer 's hard disk and accessed for analysis. The data acquisition software is written in Future Basic. The data, after analysis, is displayed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software.

Determination of Thermal Conductivity

[0395] After the tube is placed near horizontal, similar measurements are continued using up to 300 W input power, yielding a temperatures up to 150°C above room temperature. Seven experiments are performed in the horizontal mode, including the final experiment where the power is stepped back and forth between 170 and 300 W over a 10-day period.

[0396] Several experiments are performed to measure the distribution of temperatures on the surface ofthe heat tube and the transient response to a step-function in heater input power. Nine identical and calibrated thermocouples are used in these experiments, among which one thermocouple monitors ambient temperature (T_ai_r), one thermocouple is affixed to the cylindrical heater (Theat), and seven thermocouples are placed equidistantly along the axis ofthe tube (at the "twelve-clock" position, designated as T₂ to T₈, with the smaller numbers closer to the heater).

[0397] FIG. IH shows the result of one such experiment in which the heater input power is stepped progressively from 9 to 20 to 178 watts. FIG. II is a plot ofthe steady-state temperature difference (sensor T minus ambient T°) for each of the sensors and their mean value versus input power. The solid line in FIG. II is the quadratic best fit to the mean temperature values, with specified coefficients. This line displays the expected form for heat dissipation from a pipe at uniform temperature, namely, a small negative second-order departure from linear dependence. What is unexpected is the degree to which the temperatures are, and remain, uniform along the extended length of an essentially empty pipe, heated at just one end.

[0398] Examining more closely the large power step from 20 to 178 W, it is observed that the rise in temperature occurs, on the time scale of measurement, quite quickly at all points along the heated demonstration tube. Temperature sensors T₂-T₈ and their average value are plotted as lines in FIG. 1 J, as a function of time for the two hours immediately following the power step. (For the first 45 minutes, data are collected every minute, following that, every 5 minutes.) On the scales presented, there is no significant positional variation of temperature; the demonstration tube behaves as if it is heated uniformly along its axis. [0399] Three other data sets are plotted in FIG. 1 J, but they coincide so closely rendering them difficult to resolve; the asterisks are the temperatures predicted for the dissipation ofthe heat corresponding to a 20 to 178 W power step to a uniformly heated horizontal steel pipe of dimensions identical to that of the heat tube. The details of this model are discussed below. [0400] The points plotted as open diamonds and circles in FIG. 1 J are ratios of resistances measured in the metal phase along the axis ofthe pipe. The resistance of a metal changes predictably with temperature according to the formula,

R = R° (l +α T) (1) So that

T = (R/R°-l)/ where R°is the resistance measured at T = 0°C. [0401] The data points labeled R_bot refer to resistance measurements made in the half of the tube closest to the heater, while those labeled R_top refer to the resistance in the upper half ofthe tube. FIG. IK shows these same resistance data plotted versus the mean temperature recorded by thermocouple temperature sensors in the respective halves ofthe tube. From the regression lines plotted in FIG. IK, it is clear that equation [1] above is well obeyed and that the temperature coefficient of resistance ofthe steel used in the tube is 0.428 ± 0.001% K^"1. [0402] The significance ofthe resistance data in FIG. 1 J and IK is that, 1) there is no obvious error in thermocouple temperature measurements, 2) the measurements made on the surface ofthe tube conform closely with the volumetric temperatures recorded by the resistance ratio, and 3) at all times, the average temperatures ofthe tube distant from the heater are indistinguishable from those measured proximate to the heater despite the point locations ofthe heat source. Effective Heat Transfer Rates

[0403] The transfer of heat from carbon steel pipes is a very well known and very well understood problem of considerable engineering significance. [0404] The rate of heat transfer by natural convection and radiation from the surface of a horizontal, bare, standard carbon steel pipe is well described in reference texts by a set of empirical equations and determined constants. FIG. IL plots the expected heat fransfer coefficient of a one inch-diameter carbon steel pipe, versus surface temperature. A parabolic regression line is fitted through the data points calculated from tabulated constants. This regression function us used to match the observed steady-state and transient response ofthe demonstration heat tube surface temperatures in response to stepped increases in the heater power.

[0405] A simple numerical model of 210 x 10 elements is constructed to solve the differential equation describing the rates of heat input, storage, and loss to the heat fransfer tube. This model is constructed under two assumptions that: 1) the function presented in FIG. IL accurately describes the heat loss from the tube surface, and 2) the heat input at one end reaches all parts ofthe metal tube quite quickly (effectively instantaneously for the purposes of this calculation). [0406] This second assumption is consistent with observations and is, therefore, necessary to rationalize the data.

[0407] FIG. IM shows the results of one such numerical calculation and the heat fransfer coefficients shown in FIG. IL, with the heat capacity of steel assigned the value of 0.54 J g^"1. The (measured) input power is partitioned into an amount stored by the heat capacity ofthe tube (Pstore) and an amount dissipated by natural convection and radiation to the ambient (P_lost)- Taking into account the slight increase in the (measured) ambient temperature, the model as predicted and the average temperature responses as measured coincide closely. The predicted steady-state heat dissipation is slightly (2%) larger than the measured input power. This discrepancy is easily accommodated by model errors, the effects of temperature sensors on heat dissipation, and the 10° departure ofthe tube from horizontal configuration.

[0408] For the case shown in FIG. IM, as well as several other cases tested, it is clear that the model assumptions are well obeyed. That is, the demonstration heat transfer tube acts thermally as a standard carbon steel pipe that is uniformly heated throughout.

Heat transfer coefficient

[0409] Above, for the purposes ofthe model, the assumption was made, consistent with observation, that the tube was uniformly heated. Since the demonstration heat transfer tube was actually heated only at one end, this assumption was evidently erroneous.

[0410] With the tube heated at one end, the pattern of heat flow can be modeled as a one-dimensional fransmission line. Using this concept, heat is conducted, in each successive element from the heater along the tube length, in the following manners: 1) axially by whatever medium fills the inner tube volume, 2) radially through the steel wall to the outer surface (at where temperature is monitored), and 3) radially to the surrounding ambient air, the temperature of which is considered to be constant.

[0411] Taking these terms in reverse order, the rate of heat transfer from the tube surface to the surrounding air is a function described by a solid line in FIG.

IL. Also shown in FIG. IL are known data for thermal conduction of iron (Fe), together with a parabolic regression fit and extrapolation.

[0412] FIG. IN presents the results of finite transmission line model calculations for the prediction ofthe temperature distribution along the tested heat tube, assuming that the tube is filled with silver elements. Silver is taken as a reference material because it is the best-known conductor of heat of all the elements in their normal allofropic form (diamond is superior in this regard). At

4.3 W cm^"1 K^"1, silver conducts heat about 5.5 times better than Fe (which is taken to represent the carbon steel ofthe pipe). [0413] The upper line in Figure IN shows the expected distribution in temperature along the tube, calculated for heater input power of 178 W, presuming that the pipe is filled with a medium having the same thermal conductivity as silver (4.3 W cm^"1 K^"1). The temperatures measured under the conditions at the eight sensors placed along the axis ofthe tube are shown by the solid data points.

[0414] FIG. IN clearly shows that the measured temperature profile is much flatter than that predicted if the inner volume conducted heat at the rate and with the mechanism of solid silver metal. Calculations are performed assigning successively higher thermal conductivity being 2x, 5x, lOx, lOOx, and l,000x of that ofthe inner volume. Only the last calculated profile is consistent with the measured profile. In other words: the tube conducts heat as if it were filled with a material having a thermal conductivity much greater than, e.g., at least 1000 times, that of silver. Although the results are shown for a single test (at 178 W of heater input power), this conclusion is consistent with the results of numerous tests ofthe heat tubes, in more than one configuration, and for a range of input powers.

[0415] There are no other apparent explanations ofthe observed axial temperature profiles. For instance, although heat pipes (in which heat transfer occurs by evaporation, vapor transport, and condensation of a working fluid) transfer heat at high rates, evidence against such a possibility may be made on the basis ofthe wide range of operative temperatures possible for the demonstration heat fransfer tubes, because heat pipes may be operated at discrete temperature points or intervals.

Determination of Effective Thermal Conductance

[0416] A classical heat pipe's heat flux (φ) is calculated as the input power (W) over the pipe's cross-sectional area (m²). The maximum heat flux is determined by plotting the measured temperature difference (T) between the sink and source ends ofthe heat pipe versus φ, under no-load conditions. The value of φ, where the T/φ value deviates from that measured in the normal operating region, is the maximum heat flux density (ΦMAX)- The temperatures at the source and sink ofthe demonstration heat transfer tube are measured as the input power (expressed as heat flux density) is increased; no maximum heat flux density (ΦMAX) can be obtained because the T/φ plot shows no positive deviation in T. [0417] A classical heat pipe's effective thermal conductance (k_eff) is calculated by treating the pipe as a monolithic thermal conductor. Hence k_eff is defined as k_eff = [P (W) - l / A]/(T₂ - T₁) (K) where P in the input power, 1 is the length ofthe tube, A is the tube's cross-sectional area, T₂ is the temperature at the sink end ofthe tube, and Υι is the temperature at the source end. Several temperatures at locations intermediate the ends are also measured while the input power increases under no-load conditions. All the experiments are performed without insulation wrapped around the pipe. [0418] Another approach in measuring k_eff is to perform the same studies under different loads, allowing better control of operating temperature. The same experiments described above are then performed with three different heat exchangers attached to the sink end ofthe demonstration heat transfer tube. Temperatures at locations intermediate the ends are also measured while varying the input power under varying load conditions. The load is supplied by circulating constant temperature water through the heat exchanger using a 6000- W recirculating chiller. (The mass flow calorimeter and the analytic approach stated above are used to measure power at the sink end.) k_eff is calculated according to equation (1).

[0419] FIG. IO shows a diagram ofthe demonstration heat transfer tube with the first heat exchanger attached. This configuration is referred to as Diffl and designed to test the principle of measuring thermal conductivity in a varying temperature system.

[0420] The first heat exchanger is a copper coil held to the demonstration heat transfer tube using Omegatherms 200 high thermal conductivity epoxy paste. However, the conductivity of this epoxy is only -about 0.003 times that of copper. Hence the epoxy presented a significant thermal resistance to heat flowing into the heat exchanger. To eliminate this thermal resistance, a second design, Diff2 using a second demonstration heat fransfer tube, is made up of a hollow acrylic cylinder attached to the end ofthe demonsfration heat fransfer tube with water flowing through the cylinder. Diff2 is shown in FIG. IP.

[0421] These two calorimeter designs, Diffl and Dif£2, are to be operated in the range of input powers from 100 to 1500 W and flow rates from 1 to 85 g/sec. The corresponding heat flux density is between 0.11 x 10⁶ and 1.7x 10⁶ W/m². The heat recovery from 300 to 1500 watts is shown in FIG. IQ. [0422] The efficiency of using Diffl is about 72% and using Diff2 is about 93%. This difference in efficiency is expected considering the relatively poor thermal conductivity epoxy used in Diffl . FIG. IR shows the heat recovery profile along the demonsfration heat transfer tube measured using Diffl and Diff2. [0423] Because ofthe higher thermal recovery efficiency, input power up to 3000 watts is used while using Diff2. In both cases the temperature at a location 27cm from the heater is the highest. The temperature at his location is compared to the temperature at a locationl07cm from the heater because temperatures farther from the heater are lower, due to the influence ofthe heat exchanger. The difference of these two temperatures is plotted versus heat flux density and shown in FIG. IS.

[0424] The effective operating range ofthe classical heat pipe is where the plot remains linear or shows a negative deviation. T will become disproportionately larger beyond the effective operating range, because heat is transported less efficiently to the sink end ofthe tube. For all conditions measured, temperature ofthe demonstration heat transfer tube increases with heat flux density. This shows that the maximum heat flux density is never achieved. The only exception is above 2000 W, at when the 107-cm temperature was greater than the 27-cm temperature. For this reason, data above 2000W input power, 2.2x10⁶ W/m² are not plotted.

[0425] FIG. IT summarizes effective thermal conductance relative to heat flux density for all input power under 2,000W and heat flux density at 2.5 10⁶ W/m². These are presented as a ratio of (ke_ff) to thermal conductivity of silver (by comparing with what would be expected if the pipe was filled with solid silver - a metal having the highest thermally conductance). The maximum ratio found is greater than 30,000.

[0426] Applications in the following Examples 3 to 212 are all based on the heat transfer element made in accordance with Example 2. Then the size and appearance of these elements are modified depending on actual needs.

Heat transfer heating element

Applications to Electronic Device or Electric Appliance

[0427] The following Examples 3 to 7 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention being implemented to electronic device or electric appliance, such as elecfric heating washing machines, laundry drying and heating system, radiators, heaters and hot blast ovens.

Example 3 [0428] FIG. 2A shows the heat fransfer heating element based on Example 2 ofthe present patent can be used in an electric heating washing machine, which comprises of two parts, i.e. a steam generator and auxiliary casing devices. The steam generator comprises an electronic heating system 205, a heat transfer heating element 206 and a steam generator 208. The steam generator 208 has a water intake 207, a main steam outlet and a redundant steam outlet 209. The auxiliary casing devices include a machine casing 201, a support 202, a steam distributor 203 and a condensed water outlet 204.

[0429] After powered on, the electric heating system 205 produces electrothermal energy, which is conducted by the heat transfer heating element 206 to the steam generator 208. Through heat exchange then occurs between water in the steam generator 208 and the heat transfer element 206to produce steam. After being heated twice, the steam goes through the main steam outlet and enters the steam distributor 203, which distributes the steam evenly in the washing machine basket. Textiles are soaked and fully heated in hot steam, which carries away a vaporized solvent of steam drops mixed with cleanser, sterilizer, dirt and bacteria. This solvent is condensed at the lower part ofthe machine and flows out ofthe condensed water outlet. The system now completes the process of high temperature textile cleaning and sterilization. It realizes efficient heat transfer and exchange by transferring thermoelectric energy to steam heat to facilitate a complete, effective and reliable cleaning and sterilizing system for textiles. Another function ofthe redundant steam outlet 209 is leading steam out for applications such as ironing and so on.

Example 4 [0430] FIG. 2B shows the heat fransfer heating element based on Example 2 ofthe present patent can be used in a heating system of a dryer, which comprises of two parts, i.e. an air heating system and auxiliary casing devices. The air heating system comprises of a heat transfer heating element 218 and an electric heating system 219. The heating element contains radiating fins 217 and the heating system has an electric temperature controller. The casing and auxiliary casing devices include a casing 211, an air outlet 212, a return air box 213, a drain 214, a filter 215, a fan 216, an air distributing box 220 and a support 221. Ventilating holes scatter evenly on the front ofthe air distributing box and the return air box. The whole system is a fully open hot air circulating system.

[0431] After being powered on, the electric heating system 219 produces electro-thermal energy, which is conducted efficiently and quickly to circulated air via the elecfric heating element 218 (the radiating fins 217 enhance heat exchanging efficiency). Driven by the fan 216, the heated air goes through the holes on the air distributing box 220 and is distributed uniformly in the drum for draining and drying clothes. The air at this time consists of three elements, i.e. (1) the temperature ofthe surrounding air is comparably high; (2) the relative humidity in the surrounding air is low; and (3) the surrounding air is well circulated, such that moisture in damp clothes is quickly carried away. The air then enters the return air box 213 and leaves the system from the air outlet located above the box 213 when the vapor in the air becomes saturated. Moisture condensed in to water due to cooling effect in the return air box is then discharged from the drain 214. Circulated air outside the system is drawn into the system by the fan 216, heated by the air heating system and finally sent to the drum for draining and drying clothes. This embodies a fully open cycled circulation to drain and dry clothes. Temperature ofthe circulated air is controlled within a certain range by the elecfric temperature controller throughout the process.

Example 5 [0432] FIG. 2C shows the heat transfer heating element according to Example 2 can be used as a radiator. One end (heat releasing end) is exposed to the air and the other (heat absorbing end) is inserted into a rectangular container. Many spiral fins are welded to the heat releasing end of the heat fransfer heating element to increase the heat exchange area for better heat exchange result at the heat releasing end. A once-through blower is installed at the bottom ofthe heat releasing end to accelerate heat exchange by forcing air to flow from bottom to top.

[0433] The rectangular water container 231 is made by welding low carbon steel plates. Two short tubes are welded to top and bottom to link with external water supply and return-water pipes.

[0434] Several inorganic high heat fransfer elements 233 are welded to the container wall. Each element is filled with inorganic conducting medium, with one end inserting into the container to absorb the heat of hot water, and the other exposed to the air to quickly transport heat absorbed to air for heating the air. Spiral fins are welded to the heat-releasing end by means of high frequency resistance welding to enlarge the heat exchange area for better heat exchange result.

[0435] Once-through blower 234 is installed at the bottom ofthe heat- releasing end so as to force counter airflow at the airside for higher heat exchange coefficient and rapid warming. [0436] A cover 232 may be made by punch pressing thin iron sheet. It can be decorated and painted with various patterns to enhance its appearance. Installation ofthe cover strengthens heat exchange at the airside by forming a natural air passage.

Example 6 [0437] There are two types of heating measures in cities located at temperate and frigid zones during winter seasons, namely central heating by coal boilers and by the afterheat from power plants. Central heating has completed changed traditional method of family coal burning. It contributes to higher fuel efficiency and reduces air pollution caused by exhaust. An increase in the cost of heating service in winter, however, is caused by losses of heat when it is supplied through vast heating piping and numerous gas pumping stations. Increasing heating pipes strays away from the modern trend for they take too much space. Therefore, a high-speed, comfortable, adjustable and energy-saving heating system is desired as qualify of life has improved.

[0438] FIG. 2D shows a wall-mounted heater comprising the heat fransfer element in Example 2. It comprises an electric heating body238, a heating and heat transfer element 239 and a temperature controller. It is configured to ordinary heaters and can be mounted to the wall.

[0439] FIG. 2E shows a mobile heater comprising the heat transfer element in Example 2. It is configured to a fan and can be placed in any place as desired. After being powered on, an electric heating body 240 releases heat first. The heat is then transported to the heating and heat fransfer element 243 in a sealed cavity through the bottom ofthe heater. As the electric heating body maintains the entire cavity at an even temperature, radiating flanges 242 fransfers heat to indoor air, leading to gradual temperature rise in the room. When achieving the desired room temperature, the controller switches the heating body off. When room temperature is lower then the set value due to heat dissipation, the heater is again powered on allowing the heating cone to start heating. The process is repeated to keep the indoor temperature constant. The configurations ofthe heating devices and radiators, as well as the configurations ofthe heat dissipating and transfer elements as implemented thereto vary. FIG. 2F is a top view of tl e mobile electric heater in FIG. 2E.

[0440] The power of all electric heaters in this embodiment is 1 kW. The heater is able to heat a room of 10-15 m² under normal circumstances, while improvement and changes may be made to the heater according to the present invention.

Example 7 [0441] FIG. 2G shows a new hot blast oven apparatus. Food in this oven is heated evenly with the heat transfer heating element ofthe present invention. [0442] As shown in FIG. 2G, an elecfric heater 256 starts heating the oven wall after the oven is powered on. Then heat fransfer heating element 254 starts operation as being heated. Fans 252 provided on the top ofthe oven forces counter flow, which produces hot wind of even temperature in the oven. Temperature in conventional ovens is not even due to direct heating approach. This often results in overcooking part ofthe food but insufficiently cooking some other part. The other shortcoming is that grease and food crumbs left in the oven will reduce its performance after a period of time. The hot blast oven ofthe present invention, however, maintains an even temperature to ensure effective performance.

Applications to Daily Products

[0443] The following Examples 8 to 15 show applications ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention being implemented to daily products, such as elecfric water heaters, fan heaters, electric heaters, kettles, Chinese hot pots, grill boards, electric irons and high performance dual-mode water boilers. Example 8 [0444] This embodiment is an elecfric water heater using electricity as a heat source and the inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention as a heat transfer element.

[0445] The inorganic high heat fransfer elecfric water heater in FIG. 3 A comprises: a heating device body 301, inorganic high heat fransfer element 302, and water jacket 305. Heat released by resistance wires travels to the heat receiving end ofthe element via the heating device body embedded in the inorganic high heat transfer element. Inorganic medium in the element transfers heat rapidly from the heat receiving end to the heat releasing end, which is inserted into the water jacket. Flow conductors 306 wind about the heat releasing end to increase flow rate, turbulence, counter-flow heat exchange coefficient, to enhance heat transfer, and to increase the heat exchange area. Cold water enters a cold water intake 303 provided at a lower portion ofthe water jacket, and is heated by absorbing heat released by the inorganic high heat fransfer element and then exits through a hot water outlet 304 provided at an upper portion. [0446] The inorganic high heat transfer electric water heater ofthe present invention allows instant operation, quick warming, provides high heat efficiency, prolongs the lifespan, and isolates the heating device body from the heated medium, such that there is no need to discontinue or clean the heated medium.

Example 9 [0447] This embodiment is an elecfric fan heater, using electricity as a heat source and the inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention as a heat fransfer element, for heating and propelling heated air. [0448] The inorganic high heat fransfer elecfric fan heater in FIG. 3B comprises a heating device body 307, an inorganic high heat transfer element 309, and a casing 308. Several rows of elements are arranged in the form of serpentine pipes in the casing so as to reduce volume and extend time for contacting with liquid. The operating theory is that: heat released by resistance wires travels to the heat receiving end ofthe element via the heating device body embedded in the inorganic high heat fransfer element. Inorganic heat transfer medium in the element fransfers heat from the heat receiving end to the heat releasing end that is exposed to air. Fins 310 wind about the heat releasing end to increase the heat exchange area and to enhance heat transfer effect. A fan is further installed at a lower portion ofthe heat releasing end so as to force counter-flow heat exchange by forcing out the heated air.

[0449] The inorganic high heat transfer fan heater ofthe present invention allows instant operation, quick warming, provides high heat efficiency, and reduces the overall dimensions and weight ofthe heater.

Example 10 [0450] This embodiment is an elecfric heater using the inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention as a heat transfer element. [0451] The inorganic high heat fransfer electric fan heater in FIG. 3D comprises an electric heater element 317 and a casing 316. The electric heater element can be made into a serpentine pipe and arranged in multiple rows. As shown in FIG. 3C, the electric heater element comprises: a heating device body 312 and an inorganic high heat transfer element 313. The operating theory is that: heat released by resistance wires travels to the heat receiving end ofthe element via the heating device body embedded in the inorganic high heat transfer element. Inorganic heat transfer medium in the element transfers heat from the heat receiving end rapidly to the heat releasing end that is exposed to air. Fins 314 wind about the heat releasing end to increase the heat exchange area and to enhance heat fransfer effect. Air is lifted up after being heated while cold air moves downward to fill space originally occupied by the lifted air, to facilitate a natural counter-flow circulating system.

[0452] The inorganic high heat fransfer electric heater ofthe present invention allows instant operation, quick warming, enhances heat efficiency, and reduces the overall dimensions and weight ofthe heater. Example 11 [0453] This embodiment is an electric kettle using the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention as a heat fransfer element. [0454] The inorganic high heat transfer elecfric water heater in FIG. 3E comprises a heating kettle 319, an inorganic high heat transfer pipe 320, and an electric heater 321. The inorganic heat transfer pipe penetrates and is welded to the kettle bottom. An end ofthe pipe is inserted into the kettle while the other end extends out ofthe kettle bottom to be heated by the elecfric heater. The operating process is that: the power is turned after water is poured into the kettle. The inorganic heat fransfer pipe then heats the water with electro-thermal energy until the water boils.

[0455] The high heat transfer kettle ofthe present invention prevents fusing due to water shortage because the water is isolated from resistance wires. By doing this, it assures electric safety and prolongs the lifespan ofthe kettle and elecfric heater.

Example 12 [0456] This embodiment is a Chinese hot pot using the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention as a heat fransfer element. [0457] The inorganic high heat fransfer electric Chinese hot pot in FIG. 3F comprises a heating pot 322, an electric heater 323, a source end of an inorganic high heat transfer pipe 324, and a sink end of an inorganic high heat transfer pipe (hollow partition) 325. The sink end ofthe inorganic high heat transfer being made into a hollow plate, is welded to an edge ofthe pot and to a φ20 tube at the bottom ofthe pot center. The φ20 tube penetrates and is welded to the pot bottom. The φ20 tube having an extended end being the source end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element.

[0458] The workflow ofthe inorganic high heat transfer Chinese hot pot is that: power is turned on after water is poured into the hot pot; the source end of inorganic heat fransfer element then absorbs heat from the electric heater and then passes the heat to the sink end (hollow partition) via the medium. The water absorbs heat from partitions that are arranged evenly in the pot until the water boils.

[0459] The high heat fransfer Chinese hot pot of the present invention enlarges heat fransfer area with partition walls used in heat transfer. The partitions are arranged as a cross to keep temperature even.

Example 13 [0460] This embodiment is a grill using the inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention as a heat fransfer element. [0461] The inorganic high heat transfer elecfric fan heater shown in FIG. 3H comprises a heating source 326 and a grill 327 made ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element. A cavity in the grill is filled with the inorganic heat transfer medium. Receiving heat from the heating source at its bottom, the grill bakes food by heating it with well-distributed heat on the surface thereof. The grill comes in all shapes, such as square, circle, or other shapes, according to food to be baked.

[0462] The inorganic high heat transfer grill features rapid operation, homogenous temperature distribution, and the color on the roasted surface ofthe food is essentially homogenous. The grill does not produce soot so neither the food nor the environment is polluted. Apart from this, it is small and light.

Example 14 [0463] This embodiment is an electric iron using the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention as a heat transfer element. [0464] As shown in FIG. 31, the inorganic high heat fransfer electric iron comprises of three layers. The first layer is composed of a stainless base plate 330; the second includes an inorganic high heat transfer plate 328, a plate cavity elecfric heater 332 and power intake 331. It should be certain that the plate cavity electric heater and the high heat transfer plate are well connected and in complete contact with each other for heat exchange. The stainless steel base and the inorganic high heat transfer element should be closely pressed together and the contact rate therebetween should be above 80%. If necessary, heat-transferring grease may be filled. The third layer includes a steam generator 329, a spray outlet head 335 and a handle 334. A water intake 333 is provided on the steam generator 333. It should be sure that the steam generator comes in good contact with the inorganic high heat transfer plate.

[0465] The apparatus is powered by home AC elecfric source through a power input 331. Then the plate cavity electric heater 332 starts dissipating the heat. After receiving heat, the absorbing segment ofthe inorganic high heat transfer heat plate distributes the heat rapidly and evenly to the cavity, and achieves homogenous temperature on the plate. Heat is well distributed again when it is fransferred to the stainless base plate 330. The steam generator 329 also absorbs certain amount of heat from the inorganic high heat fransfer plate, producing steam by heating water. The steam is exported from the spray outlet 335 for ironing clothes. The high heat transfer rate ofthe plate makes it possible to complete the above process in a very short period. An elecfric temperature control system controls the temperature on the base plate. [0466] The base plate ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer elecfric iron ofthe present invention features homogeneous temperature distribution and separated heating, it provides superior safety protection. The apparatus is also long-life and easy to use.

Example 15

[0467] This embodiment is a high performance and dual-mode water boiler using the inorganic heat transfer element ofthe present invention as a heat transfer element.

[0468] As shown in FIG. 3 J, the water boiler comprises an upper water chamber 347, a lower water chamber 339, a partition 344, a lower steam chamber 363, an upper steam chamber 357 and an inorganic heat transfer element. The upper water chamber 347 and lower water chamber 339 are formed by the partition 344 welded to the water chamber wall 348. A water fransmission pipe 342 is welded between both water chambers and penetrates the partition 344 to communicate the chambers. When water in the lower water chamber 339 rises to a certain level or bears certain pressure, it flows automatically into the upper water chamber 347 through the water fransmission pipe 342. The bottom ofthe water fransmission pipe 342 is at the same level ofthe hot water outlet 340, while the top of it is at the height of 3/4 ofthe length of a water scale 356 in the upper water chamber. Both the upper steam chamber 357 and the lower steam chamber 363 are in the inner flask ofthe water chambers. Inorganic heat fransfer element 346 is welded to the spherical upper seal. The part ofthe inorganic heat transfer element 346 inside the steam chamber is one-third ofthe length ofthe whole heat transfer element 346. Both steam chambers are the same in terms of size, shape and structure. Both are made in accordance with requirements for pressurized containers. A steam transmission pipe 360 goes through the partition 344 to communicate the middle ofthe spherical lower seal ofthe upper steam chamber 357 and the middle ofthe spherical upper seal ofthe lower steam chamber 363. Thus, the cold liquid- vapor in the upper steam chamber 357 may flow to the lower steam chamber 363. An incoming steam pipe 358 is welded to one side ofthe upper steam chamber 357 as a communicative passage to the exterior. A holder 359 is connected with the partition 344 at the lower spherical seal. A dredging pipe 364 is welded to the middle ofthe lower spherical seal ofthe lower steam chamber 363 as a communicative passage to the exterior. A holder 359 is connected with the base ofthe water chamber wall 348. The dredging pipe 364 is a curved pipe forming a right angle. The length ofthe part ofthe pipe 364 inserting vertically into the steam chamber is one-fourth ofthe height ofthe steam chamber, such that some new vaporized water has longer heat exchange time and makes the most of afterheat, and to stop the steam and the water from flowing into the dredging pipe at the same time. Water chamber wall 348 is made of steel plate as a cylinder, and is provided with a water intake 338, a hot water outlet 340, a boiling water outlet 345, an upper exhaust outlet 343, a cleaning hand hole 341, a thermometer 362 in lower water chamber, a water thermometer 361, a thermometer 356 in the upper water chamber, a thermometer 355, a holder 337, a lower exhaust outlet 336 and a nameplate 355. Water chamber wall and seal 350 are connected together by a flange for sealing and dismounting. A gas exhaust valve 351 and a siren are installed on the seals. Apparatus such as automatic controllers and temperature controllers can be installed to the dual- mode water boiler, which becomes an inorganic high heat transfer automatic double chamber and dual-mode water boiler.

[0469] The inorganic high heat transfer dual-mode water boiler ofthe present invention produces boiling water and hot water at the same time. It contributes to high efficiency by making the most of thermal energy. This embodiment is superior to ordinary water boilers for the following reasons. First, its structure is scientifically reasonable. Secondly, it features continuous supply of boiling/hot water, easy operation, safety and reliability.

Applications to Mechanical Machining Apparatus

[0470] The following Examples show applications ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to the heating in the mechanical machining apparatus. For instance, it can be applied to an inorganic high heat transfer screw plastificator.

Example 16 [0471] The heat transfer element ofthe present invention is applicable in mechanical machining, particularly inorganic high heat transfer screw plastificators. The inorganic high heat transfer screw plastificator shown in FIG. 4 A comprises a screw fin 401, inorganic high heat transfer medium 402, a screw worm body 403 and an elecfric heater 404. Screw worm body 403 is a crucial pat ofthe screw plastificator with the main functions of transporting, pressing, plasticizing and pressurizing plastic material. The inorganic high heat transfer screw plastificator comprises a material container. It contains a cylinder-cone cavity filled with a certain amount of inorganic high heat transfer medium 402. An elecfric heater 404 is installed on the side near the hopper. [0472] The operating theory ofthe screw plastificator of this embodiment is described as follows. After the electric heater is powered on, one side ofthe screw worm body near the heater is heated. Then inorganic high heat transfer medium in the cavity ofthe screw plastificator heats the screw worm body by rapidly transporting heat to the other end ofthe cavity. When the screw worm body is turned around, the inorganic high heat transfer medium flows back to the heating end due to centrifugal force, such that the heat travels continuously from the elecfric heater to the screw worm body.

[0473] The screw plastificator of this embodiment has the following advantages: it is easy to confrol the temperature in the material container ofthe plastificator, which leads to small axial temperature gradient and obtains better plasitification ofthe plastics in the material container; it also achieves stable quality of products and higher performance by reducing plastic degradation; it is suitable for heat-sensitive plastic of low viscosity since it enlarges the scope of plastic-injecting applications; its simple structure contributes to reliability in terms of operation.

Example 17 [0475] The following embodiment is shown in FIGS. 5AA to 5 AC. FIG. 5AA is a partially cross-sectional top view of an inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater. FIG. 5AB shows a partial zoom-in view of an inorganic high heat transfer pipe. FIG. 5 AC shows partially cross-sectional front view of an inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater. It is related to an air pre-heating device using heat carried by smoke for entering the boiler in the embodiment ofthe present invention.

[0476] It is necessary to pre-heat air going into the boiler to reduce fuel consumption. Normally, the air is preheated by means of heat exchange between hot smoke from the boiler and cold air.

[0477] As shown in FIGS. 5AA and 5AB, at least one set ofthe opposite walls should be plates in cylinder pipe box 501 with mouths on both ends to support the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe. A plurality of holes are regularly arranged on the plates and face the external diameter ofthe inorganic high heat transfer pipe 502. Parallel to two supporting plates as described above, a partition 503 is provided in the pipe box to divide it into two disconnected cavities. Direction ofthe air and the smoke flows according to the condition on site. As shown the attached drawings, an air outlet pipe 504 is installed to the top and an air intake pipe 505 to the bottom ofthe air cavity. A smoke intake pipe 506 is installed to the top and a smoke outlet pipe 507 to the bottom ofthe smoke cavity . Soot cleaning hole 508 is attached to the pipe 507. As FIG. 5AC shows, holes are provided on the partition with the arrangement and number thereof corresponding to the holes on the two supporting plates. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat fransfer pipe with a fin 509 thereon. A seal flange 510 is installed between each high heat fransfer pipe and the partition. [0478] Back to FIG. 5 AB, a seal box 511 with a removable lid covers the holes on the surface ofthe supporting plate. The bottom of partitions and plates bearing the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle are fixed to a bearer 512. The most preferable material for the bearer is I shaped steel beam. Both ends of each bearer are fixed to holder 513.

[0479] To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic heat transfer pipe, the inorganic high heat transfer tube bundle should be inclinedly installed. A side of the air cavity should be higher than a side ofthe smoke cavity. When the inorganic high heat fransfer tube bundle is vertical to the supporting plate, the box should be tilted toward the smoke cavity. Thus, the tube bundle in the pipe box forms a certain angle with the horizon.

[0480] As the holes on the supporting plate in the air cavity correspond the holes on the supporting plate ofthe smoke cavity supports, the inorganic high heat transfer tube bundle tilts to the smoke cavity, forms a certain angle with horizon. The pre-heater in the above construction may be used independently. Alternatively, two pre-heaters may be connected together in series with linking pipes 514. A soot blower 515 installed in the smoke cavity (FIG. 5AA and 5AB). The top ofthe cavity is sealed and several air holes are provided on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower and the pressurized air pipe are connected together. It is preferable to install a thermal insulating layer 516 on the wall ofthe pipe box which do not have inorganic high heat fransfer pipe installed. [0481] The workflow is described as follows: the tube bundle in the smoke cavity recovers the heat carried by smoke. Then the tube bundle in the air cavity increases the temperature of air by transferring heat to it. [0482] The device in this embodiment has the following effects: 1. high heat fransfer efficiency, which reduces the size ofthe heat exchanger to 1/2 to 2/3 of the pipe casing neat exchanging system. 2. It is easy to clean soot in the apparatus because of its simple structure. 3. Air and smoke move as counter flows, which is very helpful in extending the service life.

I ll Example 18

[0483] The following embodiment is shown in FIGS. 5BA and 5BB. FIG. 5BA shows an appearance of an inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater in the flue of a coke furnace. FIG. 5BB shows partially cross-sectional and zoom-in view along the line A-A in FIG. 5BA. It is related to an air pre-heater installed on the smoke discharging channel of coke furnace in oil processing. Benefiting from the heat transfer element ofthe present invention, this embodiment features simple structure, long service life and high heat exchange efficiency. It fully embodies high effect in energy saving heat exchange and reducing energy consumption.

[0484] In order to improve the thermal efficiency ofthe coke furnace and reduce energy consumption, a heat recovery apparatus is installed to the flue ofthe furnace to heat cold air. Smoke-gas air pre-heaters with pipe banks are usually adopted in conventional heat recovery apparatus, the heat exchange efficiency of which is poor since this apparatus can only recover partial afterheat in smoke. The other drawback is that such kind of air pre-heater has complex structure. Problems such as corrosion of heat exchange pipes, difficulty in replacement and shortening ofthe service life occur in using it for a certain period of time.

[0485] This paragraph describes the embodiment of application. It comprises independent channels for air and smoke, which go through a set of aligned and parallel boxes, which are separated by an intermediate sealed plate 526. One end of it is linked to the smoke channel while the other end goes through the partition between air and smoke channels and is connected with the side wall ofthe air channel in an upward inclined way. An inorganic heat transfer tube bundle is installed in each box. A fin radiator is attached to the heat fransfer pipe. Tube sheets on both sides ofthe box bear both sides ofthe pipe. The inorganic heat transfer pipes may penetrate the intermediate sealed plate in the box. The surface thereof is connected with the partition 520 in the sealed case. [0486] As FIG. 5BA shows this embodiment comprising a casing 523 containing an air channel 518 and a flue 521. Partition 520 is provided in the casing 523 and is connected with the sidewall ofthe casing so as to separate the air channel 518 and the flue 521. Inside the casing 523, there is a set of aligned and parallel boxes 519, which go through the partition 520 and into the cavities of the channels 518, 521. Both ends ofthe channels are connected with the two sidewalls opposite to the partition 520. The box 519 is connected with the side wall ofthe air channel, and the other end ofthe box is connected with a terminal framed connecting box. Interface flanges are installed at the cold air intake 517 and the hot air outlet 522 ofthe air channel 518 as well as the hot smoke intake 524 and the smoke outlet 525 ofthe flue, for connecting with the ventilator and the smoke extracting pipe.

[0487] As shown in FIG. 5BB, an inorganic heat transfer tube bundle is longitudinally installed in the box 519. A fin radiator 528 is attached to the inorganic heat transfer element 527. The fin absorbs heat in the smoke and transfers it to the other side ofthe element to fully heat the cold air. Vertical endplates 529 on both sides ofthe connecting box bear both sides ofthe pipe. Each box contains an upright sealed tube sheet 526 therein. The surface ofthe sealed tube sheet is connected and sealed with the partition 520 in the case so that no leak between the air channel and flue.

[0488] Compared with existing technology, the embodiment has several advantages. First, it heats the air coming into the furnace with afterheat produced by smoke. Second, it has smaller size and higher heat exchange rate than smoke- gas air pre-heater with tube banks so and thus reduces the energy consumption.

Example 19

[0489] This embodiment is shown in FIGS. 5CA to 5CC. FIG. 5CA is a partially cross-sectional top view of an integrated morganic high heat transfer air pre-heater. FIG. 5CB is a partial zoom-in view of an integrated inorganic high heat transfer pipe. FIG. 5CC is a partially zoom-in view of an inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater. It is related to an air pre-heating device using the heat carried by smoke for entering into the blast furnace disclosed in Example 3 ofthe present invention.

[0490] It is necessary to pre-heat air going into the blast furnace to reduce fuel consumption. Normally, air is preheated by means of heat exchange between hot smoke from the blast furnace and cold air.

[0491] The integrated inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater in this embodiment comprises of two parts. Each part is a framed structure with a partition having conical holes dividing it into two cavities (upper and lower). Air goes through the upper cavity, which is a sink end; while smoke goes through the lower cavity, which is a source end. As shown in FIGS. 5CA and 5CB, at least one set ofthe opposite walls should be plates in cylinder pipe box 516' with mouths on both ends to support the inorganic high heat transfer pipe. A plurality of regular arranged holes it is formed on the plates and facing the external diameter of inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 514'. The pipe box has a partition parallel to the two supporting plates, which divides the pipe box into two disconnected upper and lower cavities. The flow directions ofthe air and the smoke depend on the condition on site. As the attached drawing, an air outlet pipe 501' is installed to the left ofthe air cavity and an air intake pipe 508' it installed on the right. Further, a smoke intake pipe 504' is installed to the right ofthe smoke cavity and a smoke outlet pipe 507' is installed on the left. An access port 503' is attached to the pipe 507'. As shown in FIG. 5CC, the partition have holes with the arrangement and number complying with the holes on the two supporting plates. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat fransfer pipe with a fin 509' on the surface thereof. A seal flange 510' is installed between each high heat transfer pipe and partition.

[0492] Back to FIG. 5CB, a seal box 511' with a removable lid covers the holes on the surface ofthe supporting plate. The partitions supporting the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle and the bottom ofthe plate are fixed to a bearer. The preferable material for the bearer is I shaped steel beam. Both ends of each bearer are fixed to a holder 516'. [0493] To ensure proper operation of inorganic heat fransfer pipe, the side of the air cavity should be higher than the side ofthe smoke cavity. The pre-heater with structure as stated above can be used as a single device. Alternatively, two pre-heaters may be connected in series by a partition 513'. As shown in FIGS. 5CA and 5CB, a soot blower 515' is installed in the smoke cavity. The top ofthe cavity is sealed and several air holes are provided on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower and pressurized air pipe are connected together. It is the preferable to install a thermal insulating layer 512' on the wall ofthe pipe box, which does not have the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe installed.

[0494] The workflow of this embodiment is described as follows: the tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke. Then the tube bundle in the air cavity increases the temperature of air by sending heat thereto. [0495] As compared with existing technology, this embodiment has several advantages. It achieves high heat transfer rates and has vast unit heat fransfer area. It also reduces the size ofthe heat exchanger to 1/2 to 2/3 ofthe heat exchangers with tube banks and is easy to clean the soot in the apparatus because ofthe simple structure. Further, it extends the useful life by enhancing counter flows between air and smoke.

Example 20 [0496] FIG. 5D shows an inorganic high heat fransfer horizontal afterheat boiler, which is related to a steam generating apparatus utilizing the heat carried by a blast from the chemical fertilizer gas making system described in Example 4 ofthe present invention. Inorganic high heat fransfer element is adapted to enhance the efficacy of heat exchange.

[0497] The temperature ofthe blast produced in the process of coal and synthetic ammonia making system is fairly high at about 400°C to 500°C. It carries a considerable amount of heat. The blast contains large amount of dust and it is a waste of energy if it is discharged into air. Steam produced by the heat carried by the blast can be used within the system or transported for external applications, which promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system, reduces energy consumption and diminishes pollution.

[0498] As shown in the drawings, the equipment comprises three parts, namely (1) a horizontal boiler drum 523'. The boiler drum is a pressure-bearing cylinder with standard oval seals welded to both sides thereof. A liquid- vapor outlet 522' is provided on the top ofthe cylinder and a water intake 524' is provide at the bottom. (2) Inorganic high heat fransfer element 520'. Several rows of inorganic high heat fransfer elements 539H are welded evenly to the wall ofthe cylinder. The element is a sealed cavity filled with inorganic heat transfer medium. A metal rib is welded to one side on the surface ofthe element by means of high frequency resistance welding to enlarge the area of heat fransfer. The other side ofthe element is a bored pipe. The side with a rib on the element is a heat receiving end installed in the flue box to absorb heat traveling to the pipe through the rib and the wall ofthe pipe. The side without the rib is an exothermal end, which transfers the heat absorbed by medium at the heat receiving end to the liquid-vapor mixture in the cylinder through the wall to produce steam. 3) Flue box 518', where the hot gas moves in the rectangular flue box. [0499] The element is welded to the container. The end ofthe pipe on the side ofthe flue box is supported by a positioning board 519'. The end near the steam is a free end and is axially sfretchable. There is no thermal stress occurred on welds in case of changes in operating temperature, which prevents welds from being pulled off by thermal stress.

[0500] There are two structural arrangements ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer elements with respect to the horizon, namely the horizontal element (FIG. 5D) and the vertical element. The operational theory shared by both arrangements is that the channel for the blast and the channel for liquid- vapor mixture are divided into two independent boxes. Blast travels to the rectangular flue box 518' while liquid-vapor mixture goes to the pressure-bearing cylinder, i.e. boiler drum 523'. Blast intake 517' and cooled gas outlet 521' are welded to the flue box. [0501] When the element is welded to the container as the horizontal arrangement, the angle formed between the axis ofthe element and the horizon should be 10°-15°. The heat receiving end is under the exothermal end. Such an arrangement has two advantages: (1) large heat transfer capability ofthe element; (2) extending operating duration with self-cleaning function. [0502] When the element is welded to the container as the vertical arrangement, the angle formed between the element and the horizon should substantially be 90°. The blast end is under the boiler drum. Such an arrangement provides the advantages of integrity ofthe equipment, space saving and easy installation of smoke pipes.

[0503] The embodiment can also be applied to a high heat transfer horizontal blast air pre-heater in a chemical fertilizer manufacturing system with a liquid- vapor separator. The substantial characteristic ofthe apparatus is that a defoamer is provided on the top ofthe boiler drum to completely separate steam and water. Steam is discharged from the steam outlet ofthe defoamer to omit and the high- level gas-water separator and circulating pipe.

[0504] Advantages ofthe embodiment stated above include that the flue can be either horizontal or axial arrangement respecting to the equipment; fins welded on the blast side to enlarge heat fransfer area; the number and rows of pipes are adjustable for various operations; the water is directed outside the pipe, which reduces flow stress to a great extent, and it is less likely to be blocked by incrustation in comparison with conventional afterheat boilers. Even there is incrustation, it can be easily removed by chemical method. Furthermore, the steam outside the pipe does not damage the heat exchange pipe due to water hammering in the pipe caused by exceeding heat load. If failure at an end ofthe heat fransfer element does occur, it will not cause leakage. One end ofthe heat transfer element is a free end, which has no temperature differential stress at the weld on the boiler drum.

[0505] This structure is also applicable in up/down-route gas. In the gas maker ofthe coal and ammonia synthetic system, the gas carries heat and the temperature of which is between 260°C and 320°C. Steam produced by the heat can be used internally or transferred to external applications, which not only promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system but also reduces energy consumption. [0506] The flue box 518' shown in FIG. 5D is arranged such that the up/down-route gas travels to the rectangular flue box. The up/down-route gas channel and the liquid- vapor mixture channel are two independent boxes. That is, the up/down-route gas goes to the rectangular flue box 518' while the liquid- vapor mixture goes to the pressure-bearing cylinder, i.e. boiler drum 523'. UP/down- route gas intake 517' and cooled gas outlet 521 ' are welded to the flue box.

Example 21

[0507] This embodiment is shown in FIGS. 5EA and 5EB. FIG. 5EA shows an inorganic high heat transfer eccenfric afterheat boiler. FIG. 5EB shows an inorganic high heat fransfer symmetrical afterheat boiler, which is related to a steam generating apparatus utilizing the heat carried by blast extracted from the chemical fertilizer gas making system.

[0508] The blast channel and the liquid- vapor channel are two independent boxes. Hot blast travels to the rectangular flue box 528' while liquid- vapor mixture goes to the pressure-bearing cylinder. Hot blast intake 531 ' and cooled gas outlet 527' are welded to the flue box. A soot cleaning hole 526' is located at the bottom ofthe flue box to clean solid particles of smoke and avoid soot accumulation.

[0509] The boiler drum is a pressure-bearing cylindrical container with standard oval seals welded to both upper and lower sides thereof. A liquid- vapor outlet 532' is provided on the top ofthe container and a water intake 535' is provided at the bottom. A plurality of rows of inorganic high heat fransfer elements 529' are welded evenly to the wall ofthe container. The element is a sealed cavity filled with inorganic heat transfer medium. A metal rib is welded to one side on the surface ofthe element by means of high frequency resistance welding to increase the area of heat fransfer. The other end ofthe element is a bore pipe. The end ofthe element with the rib is a heat receiving end, which is installed in the flue box to absorb the heat traveling through the rib and the wall to the pipe. The end ofthe element without the rib is an exothermal end, which transfers the heat absorbed by the medium at the heat receiving end to the liquid- vapor mixture in the cylinder through the wall to generate steam. [0510] The element is welded to the wall ofthe boiler drum. The end ofthe element on the side ofthe flue box is supported by a positioning board 530'. The end ofthe element near the liquid- vapor is a free end, which is axially stretchable. No thermal stress is produced on welds in case of changes in the operating temperature, which prevents welds from being pulled off by thermal stress. [0511] When welding the element to the container, the angle between the axis ofthe element and the horizon should be 10-15°. The heat receiving end is under the exothermal end. Such arrangement has two advantages: large heat fransfer capability ofthe element and extended operating duration with self-cleaning function.

[0512] A liquid-vapor separator can also be applied to this embodiment. As for this structure, a defoamer is installed on the top ofthe boiler drum to separate steam and water completely so as to omit the high-level gas- water separator and circulating pipes.

[0513] Another application according to the above eccenfric afterheat boiler of this embodiment is a symmetric afterheat boiler. As FIG. 5EB shows, the blast channel and the boiler drum ofthe equipment are separated boxes. Hot blast goes to the rectangular flue box 528' while liquid-vapor mixture goes to the boiler drum 534'. Flues are situated symmetrically on both sides ofthe liquid-vapor tank. Hot blast intake 531' and cooled gas outlet 527' are welded to each flue box. A soot cleaning hole 526' is located at the bottom ofthe flue box to clean solid particles of smoke and avoid soot accumulation.

[0514] The boiler drum which the liquid-vapor mixture moves in is a pressure-bearing container with standard oval seals welded on both the top and the bottom thereof. A liquid-vapor outlet 532' is provided on the top ofthe boiler drum and a water intake 535' is provided at the bottom. A plurality of rows of inorganic high heat fransfer elements 529' are welded symmetrically and evenly to the wall ofthe cylinder. The element is a sealed cavity filled with inorganic heat transfer medium. A metal rib is welded to one side on the surface ofthe element by means of high frequency resistance welding to increase the area of heat transfer. The other end ofthe element is a bore pipe. The end ofthe element with the rib is a heat receiving end which is installed in the flue box, to absorb the heat traveling through the rib and the wall to the pipe. The end ofthe element without the rib is an exothermal end, which fransfers the heat absorbed by the medium at the heat receiving end to the liquid- vapor mixture in the cylinder through the wall to generate steam.

[0515] The element in the symmetric boiler is welded to the container. The end ofthe element on the side ofthe flue box is supported by a supporting board 530'.

[0516] The structure of this embodiment adjusts the direction of gas in the flue box for various operations. For example, large gas flows can be directed to the horizontally symmetric flue box 528' by means of parallel connection. Small gas flows may pass through the horizontally symmetric flue box sequentially so that the smoke flow is kept within a proper range.

[0517] A liquid-vapor separator can be installed to the symmetric afterheat boiler. Significance ofthe structure of this embodiment is that a space of proper height is reserved in the upper part above the liquid level in the inner cylinder, and a defoamer is provided to separate the water from the gas completely. Steam is discharged from the steam outlet to omit the high-level gas-water separator and the circulating pipe.

[0518] ' The eccentric or symmetric boilers in the embodiment can also be applied to the up/down-route gas. In this case, the blast outlet 527' serves as an gas outlet while the blast intake 531 ' is used as a gas intake. Coming from the gas maker in the coal and synthetic ammonia making system, the gas carries certain amount of and thereof heat the temperature thereof is between 260°C and 320°C. Steam produced by the heat can be used within the system or transferred to external applications, which not only promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system but also reduces energy consumption. [0519] The eccenfric or symmetric afterheat boiler with a liquid-vapor separator is also applicable to the up/down-route gas according to the same principle as mentioned above.

[0520] Advantages of this embodiment includes: long single element reduces manufacturing costs; air flows are evenly distributed so that there is less channeling to affect the heat exchange; self-cleaning function is available since there is very little soot collecting and is easy to be cleaned ; the water side is directed outside the pipe, which reduces the flow resistance to a great extent; it is less likely to be blocked by incrustation in comparison with conventional afterheat boilers and even there is incrustation, it can be easily removed by chemical measure; heating steam outside the pipe does not damage the heat exchange pipe due to water hammering in the pipe caused by excessive heat load; failure at an end ofthe heat transfer element does not cause dew; both ends ofthe heat transfer element are free ends, which have no temperature differential stress at the weld on the boiler drum.

Example 22 [0521] FIGS. 5IA and 5JA show an inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat boiler. The boiler produces steam for heating fuel oil by using the smoke carrying heat in the burning furnace, such as a glass kiln furnace or a heat-storage air pre- heater, in heat exchange. Heat exchange proceeds efficiently because the inorganic heat transfer elements are adopted. It completely eliminates the circulating temperature gradient stress caused by temperature fluctuation and does not affect the operation of equipment in case that a few heat fransfer elements are failed.

[0522] As shown in FIG. 5IA, the process of an air pre-heater in the glass kiln is described as follows:

[0523] Burned hot smoke from the furnace (538 A, 548 A) still carries heat to some extent after passing through a glass kiln furnace 536 A and a heat storage air pre-heater (539A 547 A). The smoke is then transported into the inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat boiler to exchange heat with the water and produce steam before going into a chimney 543 A to cool it. The afterheat boiler is used to heat fuel oil flowing into the furnace to replace the existing steam boiler to reduce the consumption of fuel and manpower.

[0524] Several inorganic high heat transfer elements are welded on the cylinder ofthe afterheat boiler. One end (exothermal end) ofthe inorganic high heat transfer element stretches into the cylinder and the other end thereof extends out ofthe cylinder. A plurality of spiral ribs are welded to the heat absorbing end ofthe element to increase the heat exchange area for better heat exchange effect at the heat absorbing end.

[0525] After the heat absorbing end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element absorbs the heat, the hot smoke is exhausted via the chimney after its temperature is lowered. The inorganic high heat fransfer element transfers the heat absorbed at the heat absorbing to the exothermal end via the medium. The exothermal end is inserted into the liquid-vapor mixture in the afterheat cylinder, and the heat absorbed at the absorbing end is transferred to the mixture in the cylinder and thus produces steam continuously.

[0526] The structure and measures of this embodiment are described below in associated with attached drawings.

[0527] A boiler drum 551 A in the inorganic high heat transfer afterheat boiler shown in FIG. 5JA is a cylindrical pressure bearing container made of welded low carbon steel plates. Oval seals are welded at both sides ofthe cylinder. A water intake and an incoming water distributor are provided at the bottom ofthe boiler drum while a steam outlet and a defoamer on the top thereof. A space of proper height is reserved at the top ofthe boiler drum to separate water from gas and remove the mist carried by steam through the defoamer. [0528] A plurality of inorganic high heat transfer elements are welded at the bottom ofthe boiler drum. The elements 553A are filled with inorganic high heat fransfer medium, which enhances speedy fransmission ofthe heat from the heat absorbing end to the exothermal end. Spiral ribs are welded to the heat absorbing end by means of high frequency resistance welding to increase the heat exchange area at the heat absorbing end. The heat absorbing end ofthe element 553A inserts into the hot flue box while the exothermal end thereof inserts into the liquid-vapor mixture. Water is heated by continuous heat supply from the hot smoke through the element 553A to generate steam.

[0529] The central part ofthe element 553 A is connected with the boiler drum for sealing fixing. The suspension arms at both ends ofthe element are stretchable and thus, eliminates the temperature gradient stress effectively. [0530] The element is a sealed cavity and thus, no leak age between the boiler drum and the flue box will occur even if one end ofthe element is mechanically damaged. It only reduces production capacity to some extent while the equipment still operates as normal. Therefore, longer service cycle of continuous operation can be achieved. '

Example 23 [0531] As shown in FIG. 5IB, an inorganic high heat fransfer stream generator is installed at the end of a cement kiln. The temperature of exhaust coming from the end ofthe rotary kilns in usual small-scale cement plant is between 450°C and 600°C. The amount of exhaust in these kilns is relatively small due to limited production volume. Thus, the recovered heat is generally used to produce steam for productive techniques or daily life. This efficient steam generator is based on inorganic high heat fransfer elements.

[0532] In FIG 5IB, on the right hand side there is a cylinder with oval seals at both ends to bear pressure. On the left hand side there is an exhaust channel, where the exhaust passes the inorganic high heat transfer element to conduct heat exchange with water in the cylinder. A level controlling system is installed on the top ofthe cylinder to ensure that there is sufficient steam space for the vaporization of water. The inorganic high heat transfer element is welded to the body ofthe cylinder so that fluids in both parts do not get into each other. The sink end (a water and steam end) ofthe element is a bare tube while fins are affixed to the source end (a smoke end) to improve heat dissipation. Space between the fins is adjustable to control the temperature of outgoing smoke. The inorganic high heat fransfer element is welded to the cylinder so that there is no leak of hot and cold fluids.

Example 24

[0533] FIG. 5IC shows an inorganic high heat fransfer water heating system of a cement kiln, installed at the end ofthe cement kiln. It recycles heat of exhaust at the end ofthe kiln to pre-heat air, or produces steam or hot water as a boiler afterheat acts. With the inorganic high heat fransfer element, the heat of exhaust can be efficiently recycled to produce hot water for manufacture and daily life.

[0534] As shown in FIG. 5IC, a smoke channel is on the left side and the cylinder on the right is used as a water container. The smoke travels through the channel and heats up water via the inorganic heat transfer element. Cold water is constantly supplied in from the water intake (530C) in the lower part ofthe cylinder so as to obtain constant hot water. There are fins on the smoke side of the inorganic heat fransfer element (53 IC) while the end inserting into water is a bare pipe. The temperature of outgoing water is controllable by adjusting the number of heat fransfer elements and the space between fins. Such approach can also control the temperatures of outlet smoke and the wall ofthe channel to prevent dew corrosion. The inorganic high heat transfer element is welded to the cylinder so that both liquids do not get into each other.

Example 25 [0535] FIG. 5ID shows an inorganic high heat fransfer air dryer and heater in a ceramic kiln furnace. Heat efficiency in ceramic production tend to be low no matter the furnace is a continuous (e.g. tunnel kiln) or batch one (e.g. inverse flame kiln). Causes for heat losses in the kiln furnace include burning, heat- dissipation and, most importantly, smoke discharging. It takes considerable afterheat when smoke is discharged from the kiln furnace. In addition, it is necessary to pre-heat and dry bases before baking so that a drying kiln or boiler is required for producing hot air and steam to dry these bases. Therefore, the energy is wasted in unnecessary consumption and thus the environment is polluted. [0536] The inorganic high heat transfer air dryer and heater in a ceramic kiln furnace can solve this problem. With the installation at the end ofthe kiln, the dryer and heater same energy by collecting afterheat as a heat source in drying bases with hot air.

[0537] The heater in FIG. 5ID comprises two independent channels independently for smoke and air. Hot and cold fluids exchange heat with each when passing through the inorganic high heat transfer element (53 ID), which is fixed by two tube sheets (532D, 533D). The flange effectively seals space between the high heat fransfer element and the tube sheet. Fins are installed on the sink and source ends ofthe inorganic high heat transfer element. Adjusting space between fins at the both ends and the number of heat transfer elements can derive reasonable ratio of heat exchange area between both ends as well as controlling temperature of discharged smoke and hot air. It can also avoid dew corrosion. The heater is able to be tilted. Should any single piece ofthe inorganic high heat transfer element fails, it would not lead to cold and hot fluids mixed. Another advantage ofthe embodiment is ease of replacement.

Example 26

[0538] FIG. 5IE, 5 JE and 5KE show inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat boilers for ships, which the afterheat boilers heat water in the boiler with hot smoke discharged from a turbine engine to produce hot water or steam for heating or other purposes so as to reduce energy consumption. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adopted to enhance efficiency in heat exchange operations. [0539] Some modern ships do not have heat recovery devices. Similar devices available on other ships are mostly afterheat boilers based on water or fire pipes. Shortcomings of these boilers include (1) complex structure and numerous welds, (2) unstable boiling and circulation, (3) low heat transfer coefficients on the smoke side; (4) fins cannot be installed inside the pipe; (5) low heat conductivity; (6) long starting time; (7) gross heat losses as shutdown of boiler.

In addition, incrustation forming inside the pipe is hard to remove.

[0540] This embodiment is a heat recovery device featuring high cooling efficiency, small size and ease of removing incrustation. The key point about the device is using inorganic thermal element for heat exchange. The stracture ofthe afterheat boilers are shown in FIG. 5IE and 5JE (FIG. 5IE is a vertical model while FIG. 5JE is a horizontal one).

[0541] As shown in the figures, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular pipe box, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe bank 558E.

There are a number of regular and linked holes on the supporting plate for inorganic high heat fransfer pipes. Direction of water and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. Smoke moves vertically in FIG.5IE while that moves horizontally in FIG. 5JE. Soot-cleaning holes (538E in FIG. 5IE and 560E in

FIG. 5 JE) are designed since afterheat boilers tend to produce soot when burning fuel oil on the ship.

[0542] Heat exchange for water takes place outside the pipe to prevent blockage caused by incrustation in ordinary pipes. There is a man-hole (546E in

FIG. 5IE and 555E in FIG. 5JE) on the cylinder for the purpose of maintenance and observing the structure ofthe boiler drum. A high effect screen demister is installed on the top ofthe boiler drum to avoid condensed steam for better steam quality.

[0543] As shown in FIG. 5KE, the inorganic high heat transfer tube nest should be installed on the tilt and the top ofthe re-heating water cavity should be sealed so as to ensure proper operation.

[0544] The workflow is described as follows. The tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke. Then the tube nest in the boiler drum increases the temperature of water by delivering heat to water for heat exchange.

Example 27 [0545] FIG. 5IF and 5 JF show an inorganic high heat transfer car exhaust heater, which heats the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe with hot exhaust discharged from a car engine. Installed inside a car, the inorganic high heat transfer pipe serves as a heater by heating air inside the car. The inorganic high heat transfer element is adopted to enhance efficiency in heat exchange operations. It can be used for on-board heating for long distance buses, particularly those operating in the North in winter. The heater is used not only for reducing energy consumption but also for making good use of most exhaust to protect the environment.

[0546] The key point about the device is using inorganic thermal medium for heat exchange. The structure is shown in FIG. 5IF:

[0547] As shown in the figure, 536F is directly connected to the rear exhaust pipe, which is connected to the inorganic high heat fransfer car exhaust heater with a flange. The fin tube shown in FIG. 5IF is an inorganic high heat transfer fin tube, which is installed on the floor ofthe passage on the bus by welding it to a protective casing with holes. Alternatively, a number of thin steel reinforcements may be welded to the floor, as shown in FIG. 5 JF.

[0548] The exhaust from the car exhaust heater is discharged into air via

(540F).

[0549] The process of operation is stated as follows. The heating function of the device lies in that exhaust of high temperature enters the inorganic high heat transfer car exhaust heater and cause an increase in the temperature ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer fin tube, which exchanges heat with air in the car.

Example 28 [0550] FIG. 5IG and 5JG show an inorganic high heat fransfer seawater distiller for oceangoing vessels. Seawater is heated in the boiled powered by heat carried by hot smoke discharged by the turbine to obtain distilled water for consumption on the vessels by condensing the vapor ofthe seawater to reduce energy consumption and distill seawater. Inorganic high heat fransfer element is adopted to enhance efficiency in heat exchange process.

[0551] Most seawater distillers on vessels are afterheat boilers based on water or fire pipes. Shortcomings of these boilers include (1) complex boiler organization and numerous welds, (2) unstable boiling and circulation, (3) low heat transfer coefficients on the smoke side; (4) fins cannot be installed inside the pipe and low heat conductivity; (5) long starting time; (6) gross heat losses when there is no operation. In addition, incrustation and salt layers forming inside the pipe is hard to remove.

[0552] This embodiment is a heat recovery device featuring high cooling efficiency, small size and ease of removing incrustation and massive amount of salt.

[0553] The key point about the device is using inorganic thermal medium for heat exchange. The structure is shown in FIG. 5IG.

[0554] As shown in the figures, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular pipe box, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe bank (544G).

There are a number of regular and linked holes on the supporting plate for inorganic high heat transfer pipes. Direction of seawater and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. Smoke moves horizontally. Soot cleaning holes (546G) are designed since afterheat boilers tend to produce soot when burning fuel oil on the ship.

[0555] Heat exchange for seawater takes place outside the pipe to prevent blockage caused by incrustation in ordinary pipes. Cleaning salt and incrustation after distilling seawater is very important. In order to clean incrustation and salt in the cylinder, there are cone-cleaning holes (54 IG) on both sides ofthe cylinder, which is cleaned regularly for the proper operation ofthe distiller.

[0556] As shown in FIG. 5 JG, the inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest should be installed on the tilt and the top ofthe re-heating water cavity should be sealed so as to ensure proper operation.

[0557] The workflow is described as follows: the tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke. Then the tube nest in the boiler drum increases the temperature of water by sending heat to seawater for heat exchange. Example 29

[0558] FIG. 5IH shows an inorganic high heat transfer up/down-route gas upright symmetric afterheat boiler (with liquid-vapor separator). It produces steam with heat carried by gas going upward and downward in the gas generating system in chemical fertilizer plants. Inorganic high heat fransfer element is adopted to enhance effective heat exchange as stated above. [0559] Up/down-route gas from gas maker in the coal and synthetic ammonia making system carries heat, the temperature of which is between 260 and 320°C. Steam produced by the sensible heat can be used internally or transported to external applications, which not only promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system but also reduces energy consumption. A high effect screen demister is designed as installed on the top ofthe boiler drum to separate steam and water completely. This omits the high-level liquid-vapor separator and circulating pipe such that the operation is safer and more reliable.

[0560] Most afterheat boilers in the gas making system in chemical fertilizer plants adopt pipe bank or pipe nest. The disadvantage of these boilers is huge equipment volume, soot covering, difficulty in soot cleaning and strong smoke resistance. Larger thermal sfress derived from temperature gradient between heat exchange pipe and tube sheet caused by temperature flux in operation tend to loosen or cracking welds. The equipment should be shut down and inspected/repaired in case of any crack or leak existing. [0561] This embodiment is an afterheat boiler featuring high heat exchange efficiency, small size, easily soot removing and not pulling off pipe joints. The key point about the device is using inorganic high heat transfer element for heat exchange. As shown in FIG. 5IH, the gas channel and the boiler drum are independent units. Hot gas travels to the horizontally symmetric and rectangular flue box (538H, 545H) while liquid- vapor mixture goes to the boiler drum (540H). Flues are situated symmetrically on both sides of tlie liquid- vapor tank. Hot gas intake (541H, 543H) and cooled gas outlet (537H 547H) are welded to each flue box. A soot-cleaning hole (536H, 548H) is located at the bottom ofthe flue box to clean solid particles of smoke and avoid accumulated soot. [0562] The boiler drum where liquid-vapor mixture move in is a pressure-bearing cylinder with standard oval seals welded to both ofthe top and the bottom of it. There is a steam outlet (542H) on the top ofthe cylinder and a water intake (549H) at the bottom. Several rows of inorganic high heat fransfer elements (539H) are welded symmetrically and evenly to the wall ofthe cylinder. The element is a sealed cavity filled with inorganic heat transfer medium. A metal rib is welded to one side on the surface ofthe element by means of high frequency resistance welding to enlarge the area of heat transfer. The other side ofthe element is a bare pipe. The side with a rib on the element is a heat-taking end installed in the flue box. Absorbed heat travels to the pipe through the rib and the wall ofthe pipe. The side without the rib refers to a heat- releasing end, which transport heat absorbed by medium at the heat-taking end to the liquid- vapor mixture in the cylinder through the wall to produce steam. [0563] The element is welded to the container. The end on a side ofthe flue box is supported by a batter board (546H). The end near the steam is a free end, where pipes are stretchable axially. There is no thermal sfress produced on welds in case of changes in operating temperature, which prevents welds from being pulled off by thermal sfress.

[0564] When welding the element to the container, the angle formed by the axis and horizon should be between 10-15°. The heat-taking end is under the heat- releasing end. Such arrangement has two advantages: (1) large heat transfer capability ofthe element; (2) extending operating duration with self-cleaning function.

[0565] The structure adjusts the direction of gas in the flue box for various operations. For example, large gas flows can be directed to the horizontally symmetric flue box (538H - 544H) in series. Small gas flows may pass the horizontally symmetric flue box sequentially so that the smoke flow is within a proper range. [0566] Significance of this embodiment is that a space of proper height is reserved in the upper part ofthe liquid level in the inner cylinder to separate water from gas as the demister (544H) separate steam from liquid absolutely. Steam is discharged from the steam outlet (542H) to omit the circulating pipe ofthe high- level gas-water separator.

Example 30

[0567] FIG. 511 and 5 JI show an inorganic high heat transfer horizontal afterheat boiler, which produces steam with heat carried by hot gas. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adopted to enhance efficiency in heat exchange. [0568] Some hot gas containing dirt, oil stain and poisonous gas should be cooled before removing dust, oil and being separated in the process of production. Steam produced by sensible heat carried by hot gas can be used internally or transported to external applications, which promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system, reduces energy consumption and diminishes pollution. [0569] Most existing afterheat boilers adopt water or fire pipes. The disadvantage of these boilers is huge equipment volume, soot covering and difficulty in soot cleaning. Smoke resistance in these boilers is also large. Larger stress of temperature gradient between heat exchange pipe and tube sheet caused by temperature flux in operation tend to produce loose or partially cracked welds. The equipment should be shut down and repaired if there is any crack or leak. [0570] This embodiment is an afterheat boiler featuring high heat exchange efficiency, small size, easily soot removing and not pulling off pipe joints due to thermal stress. The key point about the device is using inorganic high heat transfer element for heat exchange. As shown by the drawing, the equipment comprises three parts, namely (1) a horizontal boiler drum (5421). The boiler drum is a pressure-bearing cylinder with standard oval seals welded to both sides of it. There is a liquid-vapor outlet (5411) on the top ofthe cylinder and a water intake (5431) at the bottom. (2) Inorganic high heat transfer element (5391): Several rows of inorganic high heat fransfer elements (539H) are welded evenly to the wall ofthe cylinder. The element is a sealed cavity filled with inorganic heat transfer medium. A metal rib is welded to one side on the surface ofthe element by means of high frequency resistance welding to enlarge the area of heat transfer. The other side ofthe element is a bare pipe. The side with a rib on the element is a heat-taking end installed in the flue box. Absorbed heat travels to the pipe through the rib and the wall ofthe pipe. The side without the rib refers to a heat- releasing end, which transport heat absorbed by medium at the heat-taking end to the liquid- vapor mixture in the cylinder through the wall to produce steam. (3) Flue box (5371), where hot gas moves in the rectangular flue box. [0571] The element is welded to the container. The end on the side ofthe flue box is supported by a batter board (5381). The end near the steam is a free end, where pipes are stretchable along the axis. There is no thermal sfress produced on welds in case of changes in operating temperature, which prevents welds from being pulled off by thermal sfress.

[0572] There are two structure patterns of arrangement between inorganic high heat transfer elements and horizon, namely horizontal element (FIG. 511) and vertical element (FIG. 5JI). The operational theory shared by both patterns is that the channel for hot gas and that for liquid- vapor mixture are divided into two independent boxes. Hot gas travels to the rectangular flue box (5371) while liquid- vapor mixture goes to the pressure-bearing cylinder, i.e. boiler drum (5421). Hot gas intake (5361) and cooled gas outlet (5401) are welded to the flue box. [0573] In welding the element to the container on the horizontal pipe structure, the angle formed by the axis and horizon should be between 10-15°. The heat-taking end is under the heat-releasing end. Such arrangement has two advantages: 1) large heat transfer capability ofthe element; 2) extending operating duration with self-cleaning function.

[0574] In welding the element to the container on the vertical pipe structure, the angle formed by it and horizon should be 90°. The smoke end is under the boiler drum. Such arrangement achieves integrity of equipment, space saving and easy installation of smoke pipes. Example 31

[0575] FIG. 5IJ show an inorganic high heat fransfer eccenfric afterheat boiler, which produces steam with heat carried by hot gas. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adopted to enhance effective heat exchange as stated above. [0576] Some hot gas containing dirt, oil stain and poisonous gas should be cooled before removing dust, oil and being separated in the process of production. Steam produced by sensible heat carried by hot gas can be used internally or transported to external applications, which promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system, reduces energy consumption and diminishes pollution. [0577] Most existing afterheat boilers adopt water or fire pipes. The disadvantage of these boilers is huge equipment volume, soot covering, difficulty in soot cleaning and strong smoke resistance. Larger thermal sfress derived from temperature gradient between heat exchange pipe and tube sheet caused by temperature flux in operation tends to loosen or partially cracking welds. The equipment should be shut down and inspected/repaired in case of any crack or leak existing.

[0578] This embodiment is an afterheat boiler featuring high heat exchange efficiency, small size, easily soot removing and not pulling off pipe joints due to thermal sfress. The key point about the device is using inorganic high heat transfer element for heat exchange. As shown in FIG. 5IJ, the gas channel and the liquid-vapor channel are two independent boxes. Hot gas fravels to the rectangular flue box (538 J) while liquid-vapor mixture goes to the pressure-bearing cylinder (544J). Hot gas intake (541 J) and cooled gas outlet (537J) are welded to the flue box. A soot-cleaning hole (536J) is located at the bottom ofthe flue box to clean solid particles of smoke and avoid accumulated soot.

[0579] The boiler drum is a pressure-bearing cylinder with standard oval seals welded to both upper and lower sides of it. There is a liquid-vapor outlet (542 J) on the top of a container and a water intake (545 J) at tlie bottom. Several rows of inorganic high heat fransfer elements (539J) are welded evenly to the wall ofthe container. The element is a sealed cavity filled with inorganic heat transfer medium. A metal rib is welded to one side on the surface ofthe element by means of high frequency resistance welding to enlarge the area of heat fransfer. The other side ofthe element is a bare pipe. The side with a rib on the element is a heat-taking end installed in the flue box. Absorbed heat fravels to the pipe through the rib and the wall ofthe pipe. The side without the rib refers to a heat- releasing end, which transport heat absorbed by medium at the heat-taking end to the liquid-vapor mixture in the cylinder through the wall to produce steam. [0580] The element is welded to a wall ofthe boiler drum. The end on a side ofthe flue box is supported by a batter board (540 J). The end near the steam is a free end, where pipes are sfretchable axially. There is no thermal stress produced on welds in case of changes in operating temperature, which prevents welds from being pulled off by thermal sfress.

[0581] When welding the element to the container, the angle formed by the axis and horizon should be between 10-15°. The heat-taking end is under the heat- releasing end. Such arrangement has two advantages: 1) large heat transfer capability ofthe element; 2) extending operating duration with self-cleaning function.

Example 32 [0582] FIG. 5IK show an inorganic high heat transfer symmetric afterheat boiler, which produces steam with heat carried by hot gas. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adopted to enhance effective heat exchange as stated above. [0583] Some hot gas containing dirt, oil stain and poisonous gas should be cooled before removing dust, oil and being separated in the process of production. Steam produced by sensible heat carried by hot gas can be used internally or transported to external applications, which promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system, reduces energy consumption and diminishes pollution. [0584] Most existing afterheat boilers adopt water or fire pipes. The disadvantage of these boilers is huge equipment volume, soot covering and difficulty in soot cleaning. Smoke resistance in these boilers is also large. Larger thermal stress derived from temperature gradient between heat exchange pipe and tube sheet caused by temperature flux in operation tend to produce loose or partially cracked welds. The equipment should be shut down and inspected/repaired in case of any crack or leak existing. [0585] This embodiment is an afterheat boiler featuring high heat exchange efficiency, small size, and ease of soot removing and not pulling off pipe joints. The key point about the device is using inorganic high heat transfer element for heat exchange. As shown in FIG. 5IK, the gas channel and the boiler drum are two separated units. Hot gas travels in the horizontally symmefric and rectangular flue box (538K, 544K) while liquid-vapor mixture goes to the boiler drum (540K). Flues are situated symmetrically on both sides ofthe liquid-vapor tank. Hot gas intake (54 IK, 543K) and cooled gas outlet (537K, 546K) are welded to each flue box. A soot-cleaning hole (536K, 547K) is located at the bottom ofthe flue box to clean solid particles of smoke and avoid accumulated soot. [0586] The boiler drum where liquid-vapor mixture move in is a pressure- bearing cylinder with standard oval seals welded to both the top and the bottom of it. There is a liquid-vapor outlet (542K) on the top ofthe boiler drum and a water intake (548K) at the bottom. Several rows of inorganic high heat transfer elements (539K) are welded symmetrically and evenly to the wall ofthe cylinder. The element is a sealed cavity filled with inorganic heat transfer medium. A metal rib is welded to one side on the surface ofthe element by means of high frequency resistance welding to enlarge the area of heat fransfer. The other side ofthe element is a bare pipe. The side with a rib on the element is a heat-taking end installed in the flue box. Absorbed heat travels to the pipe through the rib and the wall ofthe pipe. The side without the rib refers to a heat-releasing end, which transport heat absorbed by medium at the heat-taking end to the liquid-vapor mixture in the cylinder through the wall to produce steam. [0587] The element is welded to the container. The end on the side ofthe flue box is supported by a batter board (545K). The end near the steam is a free end, where pipes are stretchable axially. There is no thermal stress produced on welds in case of changes in operating temperature, which prevents welds from being pulled off by thermal stress. [0588] In welding the element to the container, the angle formed by the axis and horizon should be between 10-15°. The heat-taking end is under the heat- releasing end. Such arrangement has two advantages: (1) large heat transfer capability ofthe element; (2) extending operating duration with self-cleaning function.

[0589] Large gas flows can be directed in series to pass the horizontally symmetric flue box (538K, 544K). Small gas flows may pass the horizontally symmetric flue box sequentially so that the smoke flow is within a proper range. It is adjustable depending on various operations in practice.

Example 33 [0590] FIG. 5IL show an inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater of an electric boiler. Installed in the end of a smoke flue ofthe boiler in a power plant, the pre-heater features simple structure, long service life, high heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0591] The air pre-heater for the power plant boiler is a necessary device for improving heat efficiency in the boiler, causing higher temperature of burning fuel and improving the burning process. Most ofthe plants adopt air pre-heaters have pipe banks while they have several shortcomings such as large size, low temperature, corrosion of heat exchange pipes, difficulty in replacement and short serving life.

[0592] This embodiment furnishes an air pre-heater installed in the flue ofthe power plant boiler with the inorganic high heat fransfer element. The pre-heater features simple stracture, small size, high heat fransfer efficiency and long serving life.

[0593] The inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater in this embodiment adopts a box-like structure. It is installed at the end ofthe boiler in the power plant, comprising independent channels for air and smoke. The channels are separated by an intermediate tube sheet (539L). An inorganic high heat transfer tube nest (537L) with fins welded to it penetrates the intermediate tube sheet (539L). Both sides ofthe inorganic high heat transfer tube nest (537L) support respectively a side smoke tube sheet (538L) and a side air tube sheet (542L) on the box. All the three tube sheets of each box are on the horizontal bearer. [0594] As shown in FIG. 5IL, this embodiment comprises the inorganic high heat transfer tube nest (537L), the side smoke tube sheet (538L), the side air tube sheet (542L), the intermediate tube sheet (539L) and the pipe box door (543L). The pipe box is arranged on the tilt, above the side smoke tube sheet (538L) and under the side air tube sheet (542L). The whole pipe box is completely connected to the air and smoke channels at the tail ofthe boiler so that air and smoke move to separate channels. The inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest (537L) is divided by the intermediate tube sheet into two segments. One is a heat-taking end on the smoke side and the other is a heat-releasing end on the air side. The inorganic high heat transfer tube nest (537L) is aligned in a staggering way. Fins can be installed to both sides ofthe inorganic high heat transfer tube (537L). Alternatively it can be a fin at one side and a bare pipe at the other, depending on the design. Interface flanges are installed at the air intake (544L), air outlet (54 IL), smoke intake (540L) and smoke outlet (536L), connecting them to the intake ventilator and the smoke pipe.

Example 34

[0595] FIG. 5IM, 5 JM and 5KM show an inorganic high heat transfer power plant boiler fuel heating system. It heats oil to be burned in the boiler in the power plant with heat carried by smoke. The system cause high temperature of fuel oil, better atomization and higher heat exchange efficiency so as to reduce energy consumption. Inorganic high heat fransfer element is adapted to enhance effective heat exchange as stated above. The fuel oil heating system features high heat efficiency, small size and ease of removing incrustations of oil. [0596] As shown in FIG. 5IM, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular pipe box with mouths at both ends, namely inorganic high heat fransfer pipe-pipe bank (FIG. 5KM). There are a number of regular and linked inorganic high heat transfer pipes on the supporting plate 539M for inorganic high heat transfer pipes. Direction of fuel oil and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached figure shows, tlie direction of fuel oil flow is opposite to that of smoke for easy heat exchange. The inorganic high heat transfer tube banks in the smoke box are linked with those in the boiler drum. The number of tube sheets in the smoke box and the boiler drum is the same. [0597] An inorganic high heat transfer element (538M) is applied to the main heat exchange surface. The inorganic high heat transfer afterheat recovery system is arranged horizontally. The inorganic high heat transfer fuel oil heating system is installed above the smoke and air channels to reduce space. The heat fransfer elements are aligned vertically due to the limited size ofthe smoke and air channels. Heat exchange for fuel oil takes place outside the pipe to prevent blockage caused by oil incrustation in crude pipes. There are manholes (540M) on the front and rear surfaces ofthe cylinder for the purpose of maintenance and checking the status of incrustation on the boiler drum. [0598] Smoke enters boiler ofthe inorganic high heat transfer fuel heating system from its front and exits from its back. The joints between the smoke intake/outlet and the fuel heating system are sealed with of fireproof and thermal insulating materials to tackle the issue of sealing the flue box. There is particularly more dust in the smoke in the boiler. In order to prevent soot covering, corrosion caused by dew at the low temperature segment and blockage caused by soot, two checking holes, 400x500 for each, should be installed in the flue and around 2 m from the front and rear end ofthe cylinder for the purpose of removing soot, incrustation and maintenance.

[0599] The inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest should be placed on the tilt or vertically in installation for proper operation. The pre-heated side should be higher than the side ofthe smoke cavity. There is a soot blower installed in the smoke cavity (FIG. 5IM and 5JM) . The top ofthe cavity is sealed and there are several air holes on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower and pressurized air pipe are linked together. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box with no inorganic high heat transfer pipe installed. [0600] The workflow is described as follows: the tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke. Then the tube nest in the boiler drum increases the temperature of water by sending heat to crude for heat exchange.

Example 35 [0601] FIG. 5IN, 5 JN and 5KN show an inorganic high heat fransfer water heater in the power plant boiler. It heats water in the boiler with heat carried by smoke to produce hot water, cause higher heat exchange efficiency so as to reduce energy consumption. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adapted to enhance efficiency in heat exchange process.

[0602] Most afterheat boiler water heaters are based on water or fire pipes. Shortcomings of these boilers include (1) complex boiler organization and numerous welds, (2) unstable boiling and circulation, (3) low heat fransfer coefficients on the smoke side; (4) fins cannot be installed inside the pipe; (5) low heat conductivity; (6) long starting time; (7) gross heat losses when there is no operation. In addition, incrustation forming inside the pipe is hard to remove. [0603] This embodiment is an afterheat boiler featuring high heat efficiency, small size and ease of removing incrustation.

[0604] As shown in FIG. 5IN, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular pipe box with mouths at both ends, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe bank (FIG. 5KN). There are a number of regular and linked inorganic high heat fransfer pipes on the supporting plate (539N) for inorganic high heat transfer pipes. Direction of water and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached figure shows, the direction of water flow is opposite to that of smoke for easy heat exchange. The inorganic high heat transfer tube banks in the smoke box are linked with those in the boiler drum. The number of tube sheets in the smoke box and the boiler drum is the same. [0605] An inorganic high heat fransfer element (538N) is applied to the main heat exchange surface. The inorganic high heat water heater is arranged horizontally. The inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat water heater is installed above the smoke and air channels to reduce space. The heat fransfer elements are aligned vertically due to the limited size ofthe smoke and air channels. Heat exchange for water takes place outside the pipe to prevent blockage caused by incrustation in water supply pipes. There are manholes (540N) on the front and rear surfaces ofthe cylinder for the purpose of maintenance and checking the status of incrustation on the boiler drum.

[0606] Smoke enters the inorganic high heat fransfer water heater from its front and exits from its back. The joints between the smoke intake/outlet and the water heater are sealed with of fireproof and thermal insulating materials to tackle the issue of sealing the flue box. There is particularly more dust in the smoke in the boiler. In order to prevent soot covering, corrosion caused by dew at the low temperature segment and blockage caused by soot, two checking holes, 400 500 for each, should be installed in the flue and around 2 m from the front and rear end ofthe cylinder for the purpose of removing soot, incrustation and maintenance.

[0607] The inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest should be placed on the tilt or vertically in installation. The pre-heated side should be higher than the side of the smoke cavity. There is a soot blower installed in the smoke cavity (FIG. 5IN and 5JN). The top ofthe cavity is sealed and there are several air holes on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower and pressurized air pipe are linked together. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box with no inorganic high heat fransfer pipe installed. [0608] The workflow is described as follows: the tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke. Then the tube nest in the boiler drum increases the temperature of water by sending heat to water for heat exchange. [0609] The device in this embodiment of high heat transfer efficiency reduces the size ofthe heat exchanger to 1/2 to 2/3 ofthe pipe casing heating system. It is easy to clean soot in the apparatus because ofthe simple structure. The apparatus comprises only a boiler drum and heat tube nests and does not have components such as a connected box. Its large capacity contributes to ease of heat exchange and longer service life. The overall strength ofthe apparatus is fair. Example 36 [0610] The inorganic high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention can be used to manufacture high heat fransfer pipes, which are applied to afterheat recovery devices for furnaces. FIG. 5QA shows an inorganic high heat transfer afterheat water heater (575), comprising back-water pipe (571), main water pipe (572), water outlet pipe (573) and inorganic high heat transfer pipe (574). [0611] The inorganic high heat fransfer pipe (574) going through the main water pipe (575) is welded to it by 45° from the central line. When being operated, the water heater (575) is above the kitchen range while the water outlet pipe (573) and the back-water pipe (571) are connected to the water circulating system, as the heating system ofthe afterheat water heater shown in FIG. 5QB. The arrows point to the direction of water flow.

[0612] The workflow of the inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat water heater is described as follows: when the kitchen range is being used, the high heat transfer pipe absorbs the afterheat ofthe range and releases it to water in the main pipe. As the temperature of water there rises, cold water in water storage (575') goes continuously into the main pipe due to circulation of thermal gradient. The circulating system is eventually heated. The afterheat water heater ofthe present invention features low thermal resistance, high heat fransfer efficiency, simple structure and easy to operate.

Example 37

[0613] The inorganic high heat fransfer pipe according to the present invention can be applied to the gas pre-heater, as FIG. 5QC shows. As shown in FIG. 5QC, there are several parallel pipe banks in cylinder gas pipe box (571') and smoke pipe box (573') with mouths at both ends, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe bank. There are a number of regular inorganic high heat transfer pipes on it, linked with upper and lower pipe boxes. Direction of gas and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. The direction of gas flow in the embodiment is opposite to that of smoke for easy heat exchange. The inorganic heat fransfer tubes in the smoke box and those in the gas box are linked together. The number ofthe inorganic heat transfer tube banks in the smoke box and those in the gas box is also the same. A soot-removing hole with a cover is available on each box.

[0614] The inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest should be placed on the tilt or vertically in installation for proper operation. The pre-heated side should be higher than the side ofthe smoke pipe box and linked to lowering pipe (576') via lifting pipe (572'). There is a blowing pipe installed in the smoke and smoke pipe boxes. The blowing pipe outside these boxes can be linked with pressurized air pipe or pressurized steam pipe. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box with no inorganic high heat transfer pipe installed. Soot blower (574') is installed on smoke pipe (573'). [0615] A separate type inorganic high heat transfer gas pre-heater for blast furnaces enhances heat exchange between two fluids with long distance. The heating and cooling segments are placed wherever as required in the process. It avoid moving large gas flows simply by adding several linking pipes with small diameter. Distance between the heating and cooling segments come between tens and hundreds meters. This is almost impossible for ordinary heat recovery devices.

[0616] The workflow ofthe gas pre-heater ofthe present invention is described as follows. The high heat fransfer tube nest in the smoke pipe box recovers heat carried by smoke. Then the tube nest in the gas pipe box increases the temperature of gas by sending heat to gas for heat exchange.

Example 38 [0617] FIG. 5QD shows a front view of a dual gas heater with the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. As shown in FIG. 5QD, there are several parallel pipe banks in cylinder air pipe box (571"), gas pipe box (572") and smoke pipe box (573") with mouths at both ends, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe bank. There are a number of regular inorganic high heat transfer pipes on it, linked with upper and lower pipe boxes. Direction of air, gas and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. The direction of air and gas flow in the embodiment is opposite to that of smoke for easy heat exchange. These flows are linked together by lifting pipe (575") and lowering pipe (576"). Soot blower (574") is installed on smoke pipe box (573"). The inorganic heat transfer pipe bank in the smoke pipe box (573") is divided into left and right units. One unit is linked to the inorganic heat transfer pipe bank in the air pipe box (571") and that in the gas pipe box (572"). The number ofthe inorganic heat transfer tube banks in every unit in the smoke pipe box (573") and those in the gas pipe box (572") is also the same. A soot-removing hole with a cover is available on each pipe box.

[0618] To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe, the inorganic high heat transfer tube nest should be installed vertically. The preheated side ofthe gas and air pipe boxes should be higher than one side ofthe smoke pipe box. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box with no inorganic high heat transfer pipe installed. [0619] This separate type inorganic high heat transfer double pre-heater for blast furnaces enhances heat exchange between two fluids with long distance. The heating and cooling segments are placed wherever they are required in the process. Large migration in gas flows can be simply avoided by adding several linking pipes with small diameter. Distance between the heating and cooling segments come between tens and hundreds meters. This is almost impossible for ordinary heat recovery devices.

[0620] The workflow ofthe inorganic high heat transfer dual-gas pre-heater of the present invention is described as follows: the high heat fransfer tube nest in the smoke pipe box recovers heat carried by smoke. Then the inorganic high heat transfer tube nest in the air and gas pipe box increases the temperature of gas by sending heat to air and gas for heat exchange.

[0621] The dual gas heater ofthe present invention provides high heat fransfer efficiency thereby reducing the size ofthe heat exchanger, simple stracture, easy maintenance that allows convenient soot-cleaning, long lifespan, and solutions for potential problems caused by wall corrosion found between the flue and the air channel.

Example 39

[0622] FIG. 5RA shows an afterheat boiler with the inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention, to be implemented in magnesium plants, such as serving as an afterheat boiler ofthe revolving tubular kiln in magnesium plants, where water in the boiler is heated by heat carried by smoke. As shown in FIG. 5RA, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular flue box 577 with openings at both ends, namely inorganic high heat fransfer pipe- pipe banks 578. The high heat transfer pipe banks 578 each comprise inorganic high heat fransfer pipes, and sleeves and fins provided outside the high heat fransfer pipes. There are numerous regularly arranged and linked holes provided on the bearing board for communicating with inorganic high heat fransfer pipes. Direction of water and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. In this embodiment, smoke enters the inorganic high heat transfer water heater from its front and exits from its back. An expansion loop is installed to smoke intake/outlet to tackle the problem of expansion caused by heat in the flue box. In order to prevent soot covering, corrosion caused by dew condensation at the low temperature segment and soot blockage caused by excessive dust found in the boiler smoke, the heat exchange pipes for smoke flows are divided into two parts. A man-hole is provided on the top and a soot cleaning hole 579 on the bottom of the flue box to allow good ventilation, easy incrustation removal and maintenance.

[0623] The direction of water flow is opposite to that of smoke to enhance heat exchange. The inorganic heat fransfer pipes in the flue box and those in the boiler drum are linked together. The number ofthe inorganic heat fransfer pipe banks in the flue box and those in the boiler drum is also the same. [0624] Water side heat exchange takes place outside the pipes to prevent blockage caused by incrastation in ordinary pipes. Man-holes are provided on the top and rear portions ofthe drum to allow easy maintenance and inspection of incrustation on the heat exchange pipes and the boiler drum. A high effect screen demister is installed on the top ofthe boiler dram to eradicate water in the steam so as to improve steam quality. The disadvantage of such a screen is that the screen is often blocked. To solve the problem, a flanged man-hole is provided over the screen to allow easy maintenance and inspection ofthe high effect screen demister.

[0625] To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipes, the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle should be tilted in installation with the pre-heated water cavity being higher than the smoke cavity. A soot blower is installed in the smoke cavity, with its top located in the cavity being sealed. Several air holes are provided on the blower wall such that the blower is linked to the pressurized air pipe. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box at locations where inorganic high heat fransfer pipes are not installed.

[0626] The workflow ofthe present invention is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; the pipe bundle in the boiler drum then elevates water temperature by transferring the heat to water to achieve the object of exchanging heat.

[0627] The above described afterheat boiler of high heat transfer efficiency reduces the size ofthe heat exchanger to 1/2 to 2/3 ofthe pipe casing afterheat boilers. Soot in such an afterheat boiler can be cleaned easily due to its simple structure, in which the afterheat boiler comprises only a steam dome and a heat pipe bundle without additional components. Such an afterheat boiler also provides large water capacity to allow easy generation of steam, prolongs service life, and ensures good overall strength.

Example 40

[0628] This embodiment reveals another afterheat boiler with the inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention, to be implemented in magnesium plants. As FIG. 5RB shows, the afterheat boiler is applied to the reduction furnace in magnesium plants. As shown in FIG. 5RB, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular pipe box with openings at both ends, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe banks 577'. The pipe-pipe bank may adopt the same configuration as described and shown in the prior embodiment. There are numerous regularly arranged and linked inorganic high heat transfer pipes on the bearing board 578' for communicating with the inorganic high heat transfer pipes. Direction of liquid medium and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As shown in the figure, the direction ofthe flow of liquid medium is opposite to that of smoke to enhance heat exchange. The inorganic heat transfer pipes in the flue box and those in the boiler drum are linked together. The number ofthe inorganic heat transfer pipe banks in the flue and those in the boiler drum is also the same.

[0629] The primary heat exchange region adopts inorganic high heat fransfer pipes made in accordance with the invention. The inorganic high heat transfer afterheat boiler adopts a horizontal arrangement. The inorganic heat transfer afterheat boiler is installed above the flue box to reduce space required for installation. The heat transfer elements are aligned vertically due to the limited size ofthe smoke and air channels. Water side heat exchange takes place outside the pipes to prevent blockage caused by incrastation in ordinary pipes. A partition is installed between the vaporizing segment and the counter flow segment in the boiler drum to divide them into two independent spaces. Manholes are provided on the top, front and back sides ofthe drum to allow easy maintenance and inspection of incrustation on the boiler drum. A high effect screen demister is installed on the top ofthe boiler drum to eradicate water in the steam so as to improve steam quality. The disadvantage of such as screen is that the screen is often blocked. To solve the problem, a flanged man-hole is provided over the screen to allow easy maintenance and inspection ofthe high effect screen demister.

[0630] Smoke enters the afterheat boiler from its front and exits from its back. The joints between the smoke intake/outlet and the boiler are sealed with of fireproof and thermal insulating materials to seal the flue box. In order to prevent soot covering, corrosion caused by dew condensation at the low temperature segment and blockage caused by excessive dust found in the boiler smoke, two inspection holes, should be installed on the flue box at locations about 2m from the front and rear ends ofthe drum to allow good ventilation, easy incrastation removal and maintenance.

[0631] The ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic high heat transfer pipes, the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle should be tilted in installation with the pre-heated water cavity being higher than the smoke cavity. In this embodiment, a blowing pipe is installed in the smoke cavity with its top located in the cavity being sealed. Several air holes are provided on the blowing pipe wall such that the blowing pipe is linked to the pressurized air pipe. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box at locations where inorganic high heat transfer pipe are not installed.

[0632] The workflow ofthe present invention is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; the pipe bundle in the boiler drum then elevates water temperature by transferring the heat to water to achieve the object of exchanging heat.

[0633] The stracture has same advantages as mentioned in the prior embodiment.

Example 41

[0634] This embodiment is another afterheat boiler. As shown in FIG. 5RC, it is an afterheat boiler for a sintering machine with inorganic high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention. In FIG. 5RC, hot air 581' in the sintering machine goes through a water pre-heater 583 and an afterheat boiler 582'. The air is exhausted from a chimney 583' after releasing its heat. Water supply absorbs heat when passing through the water pre-heater 583 to elevate water temperature. Heated water then enters a steam dome 580 through water pipes, followed by entering the afterheat boiler 582' to produce steam that eventually enters the steam dome, and is supplied for production and consumer uses. The afterheat boiler and steam dome 580 are linked together via a steam pipe 581 and a water pipe 582. [0635] The afterheat boiler may be similar to the prior embodiments. There are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular flue box with openings at both ends, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe banks. The pipe banks may also adopt similar configurations as described and shown in the prior embodiments. There are numerous regularly arranged and linked inorganic high heat transfer pipes provided on the bearing board for communicating with the inorganic high heat transfer pipes. Direction of liquid medium and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. The direction ofthe flow of liquid medium in an exemplified embodiment is opposite to that of smoke to enhance heat exchange. The inorganic heat transfer pipes in the flue box and those in the boiler drum are linked together. The number ofthe inorganic heat transfer tube banks in the flue box and those in the boiler drum is also the same. [0636] The primary heat exchange region adopting inorganic high heat transfer elements is applied to the main heat exchange surface. The inorganic high heat transfer afterheat boiler adopts a horizontal arrangement. The inorganic heat transfer afterheat boiler is installed above the flue box ofthe sintering machine to reduce space required for installation. The heat fransfer elements are aligned vertically due to the limited size ofthe flue box. Water side heat exchange takes place outside the pipes to prevent blockage caused by incrustation in ordinary pipes. A partition is installed between the vaporizing segment and the counter flow segment in the boiler drum to divide them into two independent spaces. Man-holes are provided on the top, front and back sides ofthe boiler drum to allow easy maintenance and inspection of incrustation on the boiler drum.

The disadvantage of such a screen is that the screen is often blocked. To solve the problem, a flanged manhole is provided over the screen to allow easy maintenance and inspection ofthe high effect screen demister.

[0637] Smoke enters the afterheat boiler from its front and exits from its back. The joints between the smoke intake/outlet and the boiler are sealed with of fireproof and thermal insulating materials seal the flue box. In order to prevent soot covering, corrosion caused by dew condensation at the low temperature segment and blockage caused by excessive dust found in the boiler smoke, two checking holes should be installed in the flue box at locations about 2m from the front and rear ends ofthe drum to allow good ventilation, easy incrustation removal and maintenance.

[0638] To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipes, the inorganic high heat transfer pipe bundle should be tilted or be placed vertically in installation, with he pre-heated water cavity being higher than the smoke cavity. In an alternative embodiment, a soot blower is installed in the smoke cavity, with its top located in the cavity being sealed. Several air holes are provided on the wall ofthe blower such that the blower outside the smoke cavity is linked to and the pressurized air pipe. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box at locations where inorganic high heat transfer pipes are not installed.

[0639] The workflow ofthe present invention is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; the pipe bundle in the boiler drum then elevates water temperature by transferring the heat to water to achieve the object of exchanging heat. The afterheat boiler in this embodiment has the same advantages as described in the prior embodiments.

Example 42 [0640] This embodiment serves as another application of inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention in the afterheat boiler. FIG. 5S shows an afterheat boiler of a coupling casting machine comprising the inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention. Similar to the previous embodiment, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular flue box with openings at both ends, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe banks. The inorganic heat transfer pipes in the flue box are linked to those in the boiler drum. The number ofthe inorganic heat fransfer pipe banks in the flume box and those in the boiler drum 586 are also the same. The heat carrier in the afterheat boiler of the inorganic high heat fransfer coupling casting machine is solid so that it exchanges heat with the heating segments ofthe heat pipes by radiation. As shown in FIG. 5S, the hot and thick iron casting plate 585 leaving the coupling casting machine 584 transfers heat to the heating segments ofthe heat pipes by means of radiant heat exchange as the heat pipe elements 584' heat water supply, which is eventually turned into steam for commercial uses. It is required that heat pipe elements should have a relatively large absorbing area to provide the heating segments ofthe heat pipes with more concentrated and effective absorbance of radiant heat provided by the metal plate. A reflecting plate 585' is installed above the heating segment to reduce heat loss. [0641] The inorganic heat transfer afterheat boiler is installed above the radiation flue box to reduce space required for installation. Water side heat exchange takes place outside the pipes to prevent blockage caused by incrustation in ordinary pipes. Manholes are provided on the drum to allow easy maintenance and inspection ofthe status of incrastation on the boiler drum. A high effect screen demister is installed on the top ofthe boiler drum to eradicate water in the steam so as to enhance steam quality. In order to prevent soot covering and soot blockage caused by excessive dust found in the boiler smoke, two inspection holes ports should be installed in the radiation flue box at locations about 2m from the front and rear ends ofthe drum to allow easy soot cleaning, incrastation removal and maintenance. The workflow ofthe present invention is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; the pipe bundle in the boiler drum then elevates water temperature by transferring heat to water to achieve the object of exchanging heat. The afterheat boiler in this embodiment has the same advantages as described in the prior embodiments.

Example 43 [0642] This is an alternative embodiment ofthe present invention for afterheat boilers. FIG. 5T shows a mineral plant billet afterheat boiler with the inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention, structured similarly to the prior embodiments. There are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular flue box with openings at both ends, namely inorganic high heat fransfer pipe-pipe banks. The inorganic heat fransfer pipe banks in the radiation flue box are linked to those in the boiler drum. The number ofthe inorganic heat transfer pipe banks in the radiation flue box and those in the boiler drum is also the same. [0643] The heat carrier in the inorganic high heat transfer mineral plant billet afterheat boiler is solid so that it exchanges heat with the heating segments of the heat pipes by radiation. Hot and thick iron casting plate 587 leaving the mill transferring heat to the heating segments ofthe heat pipes by means of radiant heat exchange as heat pipe elements heat the water supply, which is eventually turned into steam for commercial uses. It is required that heat pipe should have a relatively large absorbing area to provide the heating segments of the heat pipes with more concentrated and effective absorbance of radiant heat provided by the metal plate. A reflecting plate is installed above the heating segments to reduce heat loss. The inorgamc heat fransfer afterheat boiler is installed above the radiation flue box to reduce space required for installation. Water side heat exchange takes place outside the pipes to prevent blockage caused by incrustation in ordinary pipes. Manholes are provided on the drum to allow easy maintenance and inspection of incrustation on the boiler drum. A high effect screen demister is installed on the top ofthe boiler drum to eradicate water in the steam so as to enhance steam quality. . In order to prevent soot covering and soot blockage caused by excessive dust found in the boiler smoke, two inspection holes should be installed in the radiation flue box at locations about 2m from the front and rear ends ofthe drum to allow easy soot cleaning, incrustation removal and maintenance.

[0644] The workflow ofthe present invention is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; the pipe bundle in the boiler drum then elevates water temperature by transferring heat to water to achieve the object of exchanging for heat.

[0645] The afterheat boiler in this embodiment, similarly, has the same advantages as described in the prior embodiments. Example 44 [0646] This embodiment is a comprehensive afterheat recovery system for fuel oil industrial furnaces. FIG. 5UA shows the workflow of a heat recovery system adopting the inorganic high heat fransfer, comprehensive afterheat recovery system of this present invention in a fuel oil industrial furnace. FIG. 5UB shows the structure of an inorganic high heat transfer element used in the recovery apparatus.

[0647] Smoke generated during combustion in industrial furnace 580" is taken into the inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat recovery system 581", i.e. the system framed with dotted lines. The smoke entering the heat recovery system first goes into the smoke side ofthe air pre-heater, and then releases heat to heat the air through the inorganic high heat transfer element. Heated air serves as a combustion agent in the industrial furnace. Heat is further released by the exhausted smoke entering a coal saver 582" to pre-heat water to be used by the boiler. Smoke with heat that has been collected by the heat recovery system is then discharged from a chimney 583".

[0648] The inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater and the coal saver in this heat recovery system are designed as an integral unit, and linked together by an intermediate connecting plate. When entering the smoke side pipe in the air pre-heater in the smoke channel, smoke transports heat to the inorganic high heat transfer element. The element is supported by tube sheets at the sink and source ends as well as the partition in the middle, which partition divides the element into two independent cavities, one being a smoke chamber, where the smoke passes heat to the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe when the smoke goes through, and the other being an air chamber, where cold air takes away heat on the pipe as the cold air enters to be pre-heated. As shown in FIG. 5UB, there is a sealed flange provided between each pipe and tube sheet. Fins are used to wind around the element to enlarge heat exchange area. Smoke discharged by the air pre-heater enters the coal saver 582" located beneath the pre-heater, for further reducing the smoke temperature by releasing heat for heating water, to be used in the boiler. [0649] The heat fransfer element of the present invention is adopted in this system to enhance effective heat recovery and heat exchange . The smoke temperature discharged by the furnace is commonly between 300°C and 400°C, which provides more afterheat. Recycling smoke before discharging it to air not only enhances efficient energy use, but also reduces air pollution and improves labor conditions significantly. Hence, installation of an air pre-heater and a coal saver prior to the smoke discharged from the indusfrial furnace entering the chimney effectively recycle smoke to achieve the object of preheating water and air that serves as a combustion agent in the indusfrial furnace.

Example 45 [0650] Similar to the previous embodiment, FIG. 5V shows the operating process of a fuel oil industrial furnace stream generator containing the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. Smoke generated by burning fuel oil in the indusfrial furnace is guided to the smoke side ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer steam generator to release heat before it is discharged to the chimney. Heat is transported to the water supply side when smoke through the inorganic high heat fransfer element to generate steam. Cooled smoke exits via the chimney. The essence of this embodiment is that several inorganic high heat transfer elements are welded to the drum ofthe steam generator. One side (heat- releasing end) of each inorganic high heat fransfer element stretches into and the other side (heat-absorbing end) out the drum. Many spiral ribs are welded to the heat-absorbing end to increase the heat exchange area for enhancing heat exchanging effect at the heat-absorbing end.

[0651] After being cooled after exchanging heat, smoke is discharged from the chimney. The inorganic high heat fransfer elements each transport heat absorbed at the heat-absorbing end to the heat-releasing end via medium. Inserting into the steam-water mixture in the drum, the heat-releasing end passes heat absorbed at the heat-absorbing end to the mixture in the drum to produce steam consistently. Different from the steam generator used for gas indusfrial furnaces, the issue of soot removal in this embodiment should be taken into consideration for the fuel oil furnace tends to produce more polluted smoke. Thus the steam generator in this embodiment is designed as a vertical and concentric model.

[0652] This embodiment is small in size, light in weight, allows self-cleaning to reduce soot covering and easy cleaning. Fins welded to the smoke side enlarge heat fransfer area and guide the air to allow homogeneous distribution of air flow. The water side being outside the pipe reduces flow resistance significantly. The boiler is less likely to be blocked by incrustation in comparison with conventional afterheat boilers; even if there is incrastation, it can be easily removed by chemicals. For one thing, heating steam outside the pipes does not damage the heat exchange pipes due to water hammering in the pipes and caused by excessive heat load. For another, failure at an end ofthe heat fransfer element does not cause leakage. Both ends ofthe heat fransfer element are free, which cause no differential sfress at the welding locations ofthe inner drum.

Example 46 [0653] The embodiment ofthe prevent invention is used in a comprehensive afterheat recovery system for gas indusfrial furnaces. It is similar to the recovery system in the fuel oil industrial furnace. FIG. 5W shows the operating process of the heat recovery system process ofa gas indusfrial furnace containing the inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention. [0654] Smoke produced by burning fuel gas in an industrial furnace 589 is guided into inorganic high heat transfer afterheat recovery system, i.e. the system framed with dotted lines. Smoke in the heat recovery system first enters the smoke side ofthe air pre-heater, and then releases heat to heat the air through the inorganic high heat fransfer element. Heated air serves as a combustion agent in the indusfrial furnace. Heat is further released by the exhausted smoke entering a coal saver 582" to pre-heat water to be used by the boiler. Smoke with heat that has been collected by the heat recovery system is then discharged from a chimney. [0655] The inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater and the coal saver in this heat recovery system are designed as an integral unit, and linked together by an intermediate connecting plate. When entering the smoke side pipe in the air pre-heater in the smoke channel, smoke transports heat to the inorganic high heat fransfer element. The element is supported by tube sheets at the sink and source ends as well as the partition in the middle, which partition divides the element into two independent cavities, one being a smoke chamber, where the smoke passes heat to the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe when the smoke goes through, and the other being an air chamber, where cold air takes away heat on the pipe as the cold air enters to be pre-heated. There is a sealed flange provided between each pipe and tube sheet, constructed similarly to the afterheat recovery system for fuel oil indusfrial furnaces. Fins are used to wind around the element to enlarge heat exchange area. Smoke discharged by the air pre-heater enters the coal saver located beneath the pre-heater, for further reducing the smoke temperature by releasing heat to heat water, to be used in the boiler.

Example 47 [0656] This is another embodiment ofthe comprehensive afterheat recovery in a gas furnace. FIG. 5X shows the operating process ofa stream generator ofa gas indusfrial furnace containing the inorganic high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention, structured similarly to that ofthe steam generator comprising inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention in the fuel oil furnace.

[0657] Smoke generated by burning gas in the indusfrial furnace is guided to the smoke side ofthe inorganic high heat transfer steam generator to release heat before it is discharged to the chimney. Heat is transported to the water supply side when smoke through the inorganic high heat fransfer element to generate steam. Cooled smoke exits via the chimney. The essence of this embodiment is that several inorganic high heat fransfer elements are welded to the drum ofthe steam generator. One side (heat-releasing end) of each inorganic high heat fransfer element stretches into and the other side (heat-absorbing end) out the drum. Many spiral ribs are welded to the heat-absorbing end to increase the heat exchange area for enhancing heat exchanging effect at the heat-absorbing end.

Example 48 [0658] This embodiment of the present invention is an application of an inorganic heat exchanger in a drying system. FIG. 5 Y shows a heat fransfer exchanger used in a dryer energy cycling system.

[0659] In the drying system, hot air leaving the hot air furnace can only be discharged to ambient air due to an increase in its humidity after it is cooled by the medium to be dried. Since exhaust carries afterheat, it is introduced into the inorganic heat pipe heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with dry, fresh air. Fresh air is pre-heated as water in the exhaust regenerates through condensation. Finally both regenerated and fresh air are transported and heated in the hot air furnace. This process improves thermal efficiency in the drying system. Thus, this embodiment adds a heat exchanger with inorganic heat transfer tubes to the drying system to enhance energy recycling and promotes system performance. The inorganic heat fransfer heat exchanger adopts a horizontal configuration and comprises inorganic high heat transfer pipes 590, a furnace chamber 591, exhaust entrance pipe 592s and fresh air entrance pipes 593.

[0660] As the drawing shows, the rectangular box with openings on its left and right sides is divided into an upper and a lower section divided by an intermediate tube sheet. The upper section is the sink end ofthe inorganic high heat transfer pipes while the lower section is the source end. The inorganic high heat transfer pipes vertically penetrate the tube sheet and adopt a triangular arrangement. In operation, fresh air crosses vertically the sink end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipes while exhaust from the dryer and fresh air crosses the source end ofthe pipe in a counter direction. Inorganic high heat fransfer medium than passes heat released by the exhaust to the upper part (sink end) ofthe inorganic high heat transfer pipes and then to the fresh air. Example 49 [0661] This embodiment is another application ofwaste heat recovery. FIG. 5Z shows a schematic drawing of a heat recovery apparatus used in restaurants, which consists ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention.

[0662] As shown in the figure, several parallel pipe banks 596 are provided in the hot air channel 595, namely inorganic high heat transfer pipe-pipe banks. Numerous regularly arranged and holes are provided on the bearing board for communicating with the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes. Direction of water and air flows depends on the condition on site. Grease outlet is available since exhaust discharged from the restaurant may contain large amount of grease. [0663] The inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle should be tilted in installation and the top ofthe re-heating water cavity 594 should be sealed so as to ensure proper operation.

[0664] The workflow is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the exhaust cavity recovers heat carried by the exhaust; then the pipe bundle in the boiler drum elevates water temperature by transferring heat to water to achieve the object of exchanging heat.

Example 50 [0665] This embodiment is an air pre-heating device using heat carried by smoke to heat air in a furnace, which adopts inorganic high heat fransfer elements of this invention to enhance heat exchange as stated above. It is necessary to preheat air going into the propane de-asphalt furnace in order to reduce fuel consumption. Normally air is preheated by means of heat exchange between hot smoke from the furnace and cold air.

[0666] Most conventional pre-heaters comprise pipe banks, with the shortcomings of low thermal efficiency and mixed airflows caused by corrosion of pipe banks resulted from various factors. As a result, equipment must be shut down for repair. The volume ofthe heat exchanger must be enlarged so as to heat air up to the required temperature. Further, it is relatively difficult to remove soot in the heat exchanger.

[0667] This embodiment provides an air pre-heater featuring with high heat efficiency, small size and easy removal of soot.

[0668] FIG. 5ZA shows a front cross-sectional view of a propane de-asphalt furnace adopting an inorganic high heat fransfer air re-heater ofthe present invention.

[0669] Propane de-asphalt furnace is used to heat mixed raw material oil quenched from the bottom of two depressurizing towers to 230°C ; the heated mixture is then supplied to the extracting system. The furnace consists of three parts, in which fuel is burned a lower part of an furnace chamber, which also serves as a radiation segment for radiation heat exchange with the quench; the upper part ofthe furnace chamber is a counter flow heat exchange segment, which pre-heats the quench and cools smoke; an air pre-heater is installed above the furnace, namely the upper counter flow segment, to further reduce the smoke temperature, thereby elevating temperature of air serving as a combustion agent, improving the status of burning, promoting furnace performance, and reducing energy consumption.

[0670] The integrated inorganic high heat transfer comprises of two parts, each constructed to a frame stracture. The two parts are divided by an intermediate partition with cone holes into two cavities (left and right). Air goes through the right cavity, which is a sink end while smoke goes through the left cavity, which is a source end. As shown in FIG. 5ZA, at least one set ofthe opposite walls should be plates in the cylindrical pipe box with openings on both ends to support the inorganic high heat transfer pipes. There are numerous regularly arranged holes corresponding to the external diameter of inorganic high heat fransfer pipes, provided on the plates. Parallel to the two supporting plates as described above, the partition divides the box into two disconnected cavities (left and right). Direction of air and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached drawing shows, an air outlet pipe 2401 is installed to the top ofthe air cavity and an air intake pipe 2402 to the bottom. A smoke intake pipe 2403 is installed to the bottom ofthe smoke cavity and a smoke outlet pipe 2404 to the top. On the partition are provided with holes complying with the arrangement and number ofthe holes on the two supporting plates. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat transfer pipe with fins provided on its surface. A seal flange is installed between each high heat transfer pipe and the partition. [0671] The bottom of partitions and plates bearing the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle are fixed to a bearer. The most preferable material for the bearer is an I steel beam. Both ends of each bearer are fixed to a holder. [0672] To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic heat transfer pipes, the air cavity side should be higher than the smoke cavity side. The pre-heater with stracture as stated above can be used as a single device. Alternatively, two pre- heaters may be combined in series with a partition. A soot blower may be installed in the smoke cavity. The top ofthe cavity is sealed and several air holes are provided on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower are linked to the pressurized air pipe. It is the most preferable to install a thermal insulating layer on the wall ofthe pipe box at locations where inorganic high heat transfer pipes are not installed.

[0673] The workflow of this embodiment is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; then the pipe bundle in the air cavity elevates air temperature by transferring heat to air. [0674] This embodiment is superior to current apparatus for it has the following advantages: 1) It reduces the size ofthe heat exchanger to 1/2 to 2/3 of heat exchangers with pipe banks while featuring with high heat transfer efficiency and large unit heat transfer area. 2) Soot in such an afterheat boiler can be cleaned easily due to its simple structure. 3) Air and smoke moves as counter flows, which helps to prolong the service life. 4) No need for auxiliary power. 5) Easy installation without making major changes in the existing equipment. Example 51

[0675] This embodiment is another air pre-heating apparatus. To be more specific, it is an air pre-heating device using heat carried by smoke discharged from the molecular screen de-wax carrier furnace. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adapted to enhance heat exchange performance as stated above. [0676] FIG. 5ZB shows a front view of an air re-heater ofthe molecular screen de-wax carrier furnace.

[0677] The air pre-heater ofthe molecular screen de-wax carrier furnace is composed of two boxes. Each box comes as a frame and two boxes are linked together with connecting pipes. The pipe box is divided into two cavities (left and right) by an intermediate tube sheet. Inorganic high heat fransfer pipes penetrate the box horizontally via the holes provided on the intermediate tube sheet. Sealed flanges are provided to isolate the left cavity from the right one. Air goes through the left cavity, which is a sink end while smoke goes through the right cavity, which is a source end. Both ends ofthe element are supported by two tube sheets on both sides, which are parallel to the intermediate tube sheet. Direction of air and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached drawing shows, an air outlet pipe 2405 is installed to the top ofthe air cavity and air intake pipe 2406 to the bottom. A smoke intake pipe 2407 is installed to the top ofthe smoke cavity and a smoke outlet pipe 2408 to the bottom. Access manholes with a lid are attached to the smoke intake pipe. Inorganic high heat transfer pipes each comprise a metal tube and an inorganic high heat fransfer tube with fins on its surface. A sealed flange is provided between each pipe and the tube sheet. [0678] To ensure proper operation of inorganic heat fransfer pipes, the air cavity side should be higher than the smoke cavity side. A soot blower may be installed in the smoke cavity. The top ofthe cavity is sealed and there are several air holes on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower port is linked to the external pressurized air pipe. A thermal insulating layer is installed on the wall ofthe pipe box. [0679] The workflow is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; then the pipe bundle in the air cavity elevates air temperature by transferring heat to the air.

[0680] This embodiment has similar advantages as described in the prior embodiment.

Example 52 [0681] This embodiment is another air pre-heating device. To be more specific, it is an air pre-heater installed on the top ofthe blast afterheat recovery apparatus in the gas making system for the chemical fertilizer manufacture system, for preheating air serving as a combustion agent, with heat carried by the blast. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adopted to enhance heat exchange performance as stated above. This embodiment provides high heat fransfer efficiency thereby reducing the size ofthe heat exchanger, simple stracture, long lifespan, and reduction in energy consumption and pollution. [0682] Blast in the gas making system in chemical fertilizer plants carries minute amount of flammable elements and sensible heat. The blast is normally incombustible due to its low heat value but capable of pre-heat airing that serves as a combustion agent to more than 300 °C. The blast can become flammable with gas released by the gas-making system to produce hot smoke of temperature between 850~900°C to generate steam, pre-heat air and heat soft water, thereby promoting thermal efficiency ofthe system, reducing energy consumption and diminishing pollution. The device is designed to be small, simple and light in terms of structure so that it can be easily installed on the top ofthe blast afterheat recovery apparatus.

[0683] Most conventional pre-heaters comprise pipe banks, with the shortcomings of low thermal efficiency. The volume ofthe heat exchanger must be enlarged so as to heat air up to the required temperature. Further, it is relatively difficult to remove soot in the heat exchanger resulting in high smoke resistance. Larger sfress of temperature gradient between heat exchange pipe and pipe sheet caused by temperature flux in operation tends to produce loose or partially cracked welds, such that the equipment must be shut down for repaired in case of any crack or leak. Other shortcomings include frequent abrasion in heat exchange pipes, difficulty in replacement, and short service life. [0684] The apparatus in this embodiment is an air pre-heater installed on the top ofthe blast heat recovery apparatus, with the advantage of compact and simple structure, high heat exchange rates, easy soot removal and long service life.

[0685] FIG. 5ZC shows an inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater in a chemical fertilizer gas making system. As shown in FIG. 5ZA, the air pre-heater comprises a rectangular box with openings on both ends and having a pair of pipe sheet supporting plates 2409 having at least one set of opposite sidewall plates and a pair of inorganic high heat transfer pipes. There are numerous regularly arranged holes corresponding to the external diameter of inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 2410, provided on the pipe sheet supporting plates. Parallel to the two supporting plates as described above, an intermediate partition pipe sheet divides the box into two disconnected cavities. Direction of air and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached drawing shows, an air intake 2411 is installed to the top ofthe air cavity and an air outlet 2412 to the bottom. A smoke intake 2413 is installed to the bottom ofthe smoke cavity and a smoke outlet 2414 to the top. On the intermediate pipe sheet are provided with holes complying with the arrangement and number ofthe holes on the two supporting sheets. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat fransfer pipe with fins provided on its surface. A seal flange is installed between each high heat transfer pipe and the partition.

[0686] Pipe boxes may be installed to the outboard ofthe supporting sheets on both ends ofthe box. A movable end cover is attached to the box for the purpose of replacing inorganic heat transfer pipes. The cover is sealed with gaskets, and fixed to the pipe box by bolts and nuts.

[0687] Thermal insulating layer of a certain thickness is attached to the inner wall ofthe pipe box to reduce heat loss. Edges ofthe pipe sheet are welded to reinforced bars to prevent distortion. This embodiment is an inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater ofthe blast heat recovery apparatus, comprising independent channels for air and smoke, which channels go through a set of aligned and parallel boxes separated by an intermediate sealed plate into a first end communicating with the smoke channel and the other end with the air channel. An inorganic heat fransfer pipe bundle is installed in every box. Radiating fins are welded to the heat fransfer pipes. Pipe sheets on both sides of the box bear both ends ofthe pipes. The inorganic heat transfer pipes may penefrate the intermediate sealed plate in the box, with the periphery ofthe sealed plate joined to the partition pf the box case.

[0688] The smoke box ofthe air pre-heater is installed in the hot smoke channel ofthe blast afterheat recovery apparatus. The air outlet communicates with to the intake ventilator via the air channel. Heated air is taken into the blast afterheat recovery apparatus through the air channel and the intake ventilator. [0689] To improve heat exchange efficiency of inorganic heat transfer pipes, the inorganic high heat transfer pipe bundle should be tilted at installation, with the air cavity side being higher than the smoke cavity side. When the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle is normal to the supporting plates, the box should tilt toward the smoke cavity, in such a manner that the pipe bundle in the pipe box forms an angle between 3° and 20° with horizon.

[0690] The pre-heater with structure as stated above can be used as a single device. Alternatively, two pre-heaters may be combined in series or connected in parallel.

[0691] The workflow of this embodiment is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke, which heat is rapidly transported to the pipe bundle in the air cavity to elevate air temperature of air and to cool smoke by transferring heat to the air.

[0692] This embodiment has the following advantages in comparison with current pre-heaters with pipe banks:

Air and smoke move as counter flows in heat exchange, contributing to high heat exchange efficiency and small heat exchanger size; The pre-heater can be cleaned easily and reduces smoke resistance due to its freely configurable structure;

Heat fransfer pipes and pipe sheets are linked together in a floating manner so as to eliminate stress of temperature gradient between them caused by temperature flux in operation;

Damage caused by corrosion is rare on heat fransfer pipes; very few of them are abraded so as to eliminate the need for shutting down the apparatus for repair and to provide excellent reliability.

Example 53 [0693] Similar to the embodiment above, this embodiment is another air pre- heater using afterheat. It is an air pre-heater installed on the top ofthe furnace of a platinum resetting device in an oil refinery, for pre-heating air that serves as a combustion agent, with heat carried by smoke. FIG. 5ZD shows an inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater in the heating furnace of a platinum resetting apparatus. It is an air pre-heater installed on the top ofthe furnace with the advantages of compact and simple stracture, high heat exchange rates, ease of soot removal and long service life.

[0694] Similar to the previous embodiment, the air pre-heater comprises a rectangular box with openings on both ends and having a pair of pipe sheet supporting plates having at least one set of opposite sidewall plates and a pair of inorganic high heat fransfer pipes. There are numerous regularly arranged holes corresponding to the external diameter of inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 2410, provided on the pipe sheet supporting plates. Parallel to the two supporting plates as described above, an intermediate partition pipe sheet divides the box into two disconnected cavities. Direction of air and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached drawing shows, an air intake is installed to the top ofthe air cavity and an air outlet to the bottom. A smoke intake is installed to the bottom ofthe smoke cavity and a smoke outlet to the top. On the intermediate pipe sheet are provided with holes complying with the arrangement and number ofthe holes on the two supporting sheets. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat transfer pipe with fins provided on its surface. A seal flange is installed between each high heat transfer pipe and the partition. [0695] Pipe boxes are installed to the outboard ofthe supporting sheets on both ends ofthe box. A movable end cover is attached to the box for the purpose of replacing inorganic heat transfer pipes. The cover is sealed with gaskets, and fixed to the pipe box by bolts and nuts. To improve heat exchange efficiency of inorganic heat transfer pipes, the inorganic high heat transfer pipe bundle should be tilted at installation, with the air cavity side being higher than the smoke cavity side. When the inorganic high heat transfer pipe bundle is normal to the supporting plates, the box should tilt toward the smoke cavity, in such a manner that the pipe bundle in the pipe box forms an angle between 3° and 20° with horizon.

[0696] The pre-heater with structure as stated above can be used as a single device. Alternatively, two pre-heaters may be combined in series or connected in parallel.

[0697] The workflow ofthe apparatus in this embodiment is described as follows. The pipe bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke, which heat is rapidly transported to the pipe bundle in the air cavity to elevate air temperature of air and to cool smoke by transferring heat to the air. [0698] In comparison with current pre-heaters with pipe banks, this embodiment has similar advantages as the previous embodiment does.

Example 54 [0699] The structure ofthe inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater in the propane de-asphalt furnace in this embodiment is similar to that as shown in the previous embodiment.

[0700] FIG. 5ZE shows an inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater in an inorganic high heat fransfer Arene device constant depressurizing carrier furnace. [0701] Arene device constant depressurizing carrier furnace is used to heat mixed raw material oil quenched from the bottom of depressurizing towers to 230°C; the heated mixture is then supplied to the extracting system. The furnace consists of three parts, in which fuel is burned a lower part of an furnace chamber, which also serves as a radiation segment for radiation heat exchange with the quench; the upper part ofthe furnace chamber is a counter flow heat exchange segment, which pre-heats the quench and cools smoke; an air pre-heater is installed above the furnace, namely the upper counter flow segment, to further reduce the smoke temperature, thereby elevating temperature of air serving as a combustion agent, improving the status of burning, promoting furnace performance, and reducing energy consumption.

[0702] The integrated inorganic high heat fransfer comprises of two parts, each constructed to a frame structure. The two parts are divided by an intermediate partition with cone holes into two cavities (left and right). Air goes through the right cavity, which is a sink end while smoke goes through the left cavity, which is a source end. As shown in FIG. 5ZE, at least one set ofthe opposite walls should be plates in the cylindrical pipe box with openings on both ends to support the inorganic high heat transfer pipes. There are numerous regularly arranged holes corresponding to the external diameter of inorganic high heat fransfer pipes, provided on the plates. Parallel to the two supporting plates as described above, the partition divides the box into two disconnected cavities (left and right). Direction of air and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached drawing shows, an air outlet pipe is installed to the top ofthe air cavity and an air intake pipe to the bottom. A smoke intake pipe is installed to the bottom ofthe smoke cavity and a smoke outlet pipe to the top. On the partition are provided with holes smoke cavity and a smoke outlet pipe 2404 to the top. On the partition are provided with holes complying with the arrangement and number ofthe holes on the two supporting plates. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat fransfer pipe with fins provided on its surface. A seal flange is installed between each high heat transfer pipe and the partition. [0703] To ensure proper operation of the inorganic high heat transfer pipes, the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe bundle should be tilted in installation with the pre-heated water cavity being higher than the smoke cavity. A soot blower is installed in the smoke cavity, with its top located in the cavity being sealed. Several air holes are provided on the blower wall such that the blower is linked to the pressurized air pipe. A thermal insulating layer is installed on the wall ofthe pipe box

[0704] The workflow of this embodiment is described as follows. The inorganic heat transfer tube bundle in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke, which heat elevates the air temperature by transferring heat to air. [0705] This embodiment is superior to current apparatus for it has the following advantages: 1) It reduces the size ofthe heat exchanger to 1/2 to 2/3 of heat exchangers with pipe banks while featuring with high heat transfer efficiency and large unit heat transfer area. 2) Soot in such an afterheat boiler can be cleaned easily due to its simple stracture. 3) Air and smoke moves as counter flows, which helps to prolong the service life. 4) No need for auxiliary power. 5) Easy installation without making major changes in the existing equipment.

Example 55 [0706] Coking plants in the worlds are striving to tackle the problem with recycling heat carried by gas in the coke furnace lift pipe. None of current approaches is satisfactory, however, due to the complex stracture and limited space for the lift pipe.

[0707] The inorganic high heat transfer heat recovery apparatus succeeds in solving this problem. FIG. 5ZF shows the stracture ofthe apparatus, which is simple and contributes to long useful life. This apparatus recycles heat produced by gas in the lift pipe by adopting inorganic high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention.

[0708] The temperature of gas in coke furnace life pipe 2416 is approximately between 600°C and 700°C. Its diameter is between 600m and 700m. A ringed water jacket is installed to the outboard ofthe lift pipe. Inorganic heat transfer elements 2415 arranged in a radial pattern go straight toward the water jacket through the lift pipe. [0709] Circulating water flows through the water jacket. The apparatus applies compulsory circulation so that the boiler drum may be situated farther from the coke furnace to produce steam or hot water.

[0710] Such a structure will definitely be the very first achievement if it proves to be successful.

[0711] Since there are roughly sixteen lift pipes in each coke fumace, application of this embodiment to coke furnaces will lead to considerable economic effectiveness.

Example 56 [0712] As shown in FIG. 5ZG, this embodiment is an inorganic heat fransfer and recovery device installed on the continuous casting billet cold table ofa continuous casting machine in the steel plant.

[0713] The temperature of continuous casting blank 2419 coming out of continuous casting machine 2417 exceeds 1300°C . The surface ofthe blank is solid but it is still liquid inside. The blanks are transported by a roller track to the cold table. The amount of heat dissipated from the surface ofthe blanks on the cold table is huge but there is no apparatus for recycling the heat so far. [0714] In normal operation, there should be 80-100 tons of blanks passing the heat reserving mask per hour in steel plant with annual production of 0.5 -1 million tons per year. In the situation that the temperature inside the heat reserving mask is 500°C , steam production can reach 8~ 10 ton/hour as 1 ton of continuous casting blanks produces 0.1 ton of steam. Hence a heat recovery apparatus can meet the need for heating in the whole plant in winter. [0715] The inorganic afterheat recovery apparatus comprises the following devices:

A heat-reserving mask is installed to the continuous casting base cold table. The rough size ofthe mask is 2000x(2000~3000)χ8000 mm. The thermal insulating layer in the mask is made of ceramic fibers. An exhaust stack of φ 500x300 mm is installed on one side ofthe mask cover; devices used to fix the mask are designed without affecting the operation ofthe cold table; there are about 300 to 400 inorganic heat transfer elements 2418, which are Φ38x(2500~3000)mm; heat is conducted in both radiation and counter flow between the heat reserving mask and the heat transfer elements. The embodiment further comprises an apparatus for replacing inorganic heat fransfer elements and a sealing device.

Example 57 [0716] Similar to the air pre-heater in a chemical fertilizer manufacturing system, this embodiment is an air pre-heater installed in the glass kiln. It preheats the air used as a combustion agent by the afterheat carried by the smoke produced at the end ofthe process. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adapted to enhance the high heat exchange as stated above. This embodiment has the following advantages: simple stracture; long useful life; high heat exchange efficiency; and reducing energy consumption and pollution. [0717] The temperature ofthe smoke discharged from the kiln is between 200°C and 300°C , which is still hot even though the afterheat has been recycled by the heat-storage heat exchanger. Discharging the smoke into air not only becomes a waste of energy to but also pollutes the environment. The heat carried by the smoke can be used as an agent in combustion, which promotes thermal efficiency ofthe system, reduces energy consumption and diminishes pollution. The device is small, simple and light in terms of structure and is easy to install. [0718] Most ofthe existing pre-heaters comprise pipe banks. The disadvantages include: low heat exchange efficiency; the volume ofthe heat exchanger must be enlarged in order to heat the air up to the required temperature; soot in the heat exchanger can hardly be removed and smoke resistance is large; larger thermal stress due to the temperature gradient between the heat exchange pipe and the tube sheet caused by temperature fluctuation in operation and thus, produces loosing or partially cracked at the welds; the equipment should be shut down and repaired if there is any crack or leak; frequent abrasion in heat exchange pipes; difficulty in replacement; short useful life. [0719] FIG. 5ZH shows an inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater in a glass kiln. Similar to the above air pre-heater in a chemical fertilizer manufacturing system, there should be at least one set of opposite sidewall plates and tube sheets having inorganic high heat fransfer pipes in the rectangular box with openings on both ends in this embodiment. There are a number of regularly arranged holes on the tube sheets, facing the external diameter ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe. Parallel to two supporting tube sheets as described above, a partition-intermediate tube sheet is provided in the box to divide it into two disconnected cavities. Flowing direction ofthe air and the smoke depend on the condition on site. As shown in the attached drawings, air intake is installed on the top ofthe air cavity and air outlet is installed on the bottom. Smoke intake is installed on the bottom ofthe smoke cavity and smoke outlet is installed on the top. Holes are provided on the intermediate tube sheet to comply the arrangement and number ofthe holes on the two supporting tube sheets. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat transfer pipe with fins on its surface. A seal flange is installed between each high heat fransfer pipe and partition. [0720] Pipe boxes are provided at the outer side ofthe supporting tube sheets. A movable end cover is attached to the box for the purpose of easily replacing the inorganic heat fransfer pipe. The cover is sealed with a gasket, fixed by a bolt, a nut and the pipe box.

[0721] Thermal insulating layer with a predetermined thickness is attached to the inner wall ofthe pipe box to reduce heat loss.

[0722] Edges ofthe tube sheet are welded to reinforced bars to prevent distortion.

[0723] This embodiment is described as follows. An inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater in a glass kiln comprises independent channels for air and smoke, which go through a set of aligned and parallel boxes, which are separated by an intermediate sealed plate. One end ofthe boxes is connected to the smoke channel while the other end is connected to the air channel. An inorganic heat fransfer tube bundle is installed in each box. A radiating fin is welded on the heat transfer pipe. Tube sheets on both sides ofthe box bear both ends ofthe pipe. The inorganic heat transfer pipes may penetrate the intermediate sealed plate in the box. The surface thereof is connected with the partition in the sealed case. [0724] An inorganic heat fransfer tube bundle is installed longitudinally in the box. A radiating fin is attached to the inorganic heat transfer pipe. The fin absorbs the heat in smoke and fransfers the same to the other end ofthe pipe to fully heat the cold air. Vertical endplates on both sides ofthe connecting box bear both ends ofthe pipe. Each box contains an upright sealed tube sheet inside. The surface ofthe sealed tube sheet is connected with the sideboard ofthe box so that there is no leak between the air channel, flue channel and the environment. [0725] The smoke box ofthe air pre-heater is installed in the flue channel of the glass kiln. Air intake is connected with the ventilating machine while the air outlet is connected with the kiln though the air channel. After heated by the air pre-heater, air from the ventilating machine is heated end fransported to the burner in the kiln.

[0726] To improve the heat exchange efficiency ofthe inorganic heat fransfer pipe, the inorganic high heat transfer tube bundle should be inclinedly installed. The side ofthe air cavity should be higher than the side ofthe smoke cavity. When the inorganic high heat fransfer tube bundle is perpendicular with the supporting plate, the box should tilt toward the smoke cavity. Thus, the tube bundle in the pipe box forms an angle between 3° and 20° with the horizontal plane.

[0727] The pre-heater with the structure as stated above can be utilized as a single device. Alternatively, two pre-heaters may be combined in series or connected in parallel.

[0728] The workflow ofthe apparatus in this embodiment is described as follows: the tube bundle in the smoke cavity recovers the heat carried by smoke. The heat is rapidly transported to the tube bundle in the air cavity and released to the air and thereby increases the temperature ofthe air and cools the smoke. [0729] This embodiment has the following advantages in comparison with current pre-heaters with tube banks: 1) Air and smoke move as counter flows in heat exchange, contributing to high heat exchange efficiency and small heat exchanger size; 2) It is easy to clean soot in the apparatus because of its simple structure; small smoke resistance; 3) Heat fransfer pipe and tube sheet are connected together in a floating way so that there is no thermal sfress due to temperature gradient therebetween caused by temperature fluctuation in operation; 4) damage caused by corrosion is rare on heat fransfer pipes; very few ofthe pipes are abraded; no need for shutting down the apparatus for repair; and excellent reliability.

Example 58 [0730] Similar to the air pre-heater in the gas making system in chemical fertilizer plants, this embodiment is an inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater installed on the top ofa crude heater. The object of this embodiment is to provide an air pre-heater on the top ofthe smoke afterheat recovery apparatus with the following advantages: small in size, simple structure, high heat exchange rate, easy removing of soot and long application life.

[0731] Similar to the air pre-heater in the chemical fertilizer manufacturing system in the previous embodiment as shown in FIG. 5ZJ, there should be at least one set of opposite sidewall plates and tube sheets 2409 supporting the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes in the rectangular box with openings on both top and bottom ends. A plurality of holes are regularly arranged on the tube sheets and corresponding to the external diameter ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 2410. Parallel to the two supporting tube sheets as described above, a partition-intermediate tube sheet 2422 is provided in the box to divide it into two separated cavities. Flowing directions ofthe air and the smoke depend on the conditions on site. As the attached drawings show, an air intake 2411 is provided on the top ofthe air cavity and an air outlet 2412 is provided on the bottom thereof. A smoke intake 2413 is installed to the bottom ofthe smoke cavity and a smoke outlet 2414 is provided on the top thereof. On the intermediate tube sheet, holes are provided complying the arrangement and the number ofthe holes on the two supporting tube sheets. Each hole is inserted with an inorganic high heat transfer pipe with fins on its surface. A seal flange is provided between each ofthe high heat fransfer pipe and the partition. [0732] Pipe boxes are provided on the outsides ofthe tube sheets on the box. A movable end cover is attached to the box for the purpose of replacing the inorganic heat transfer pipe. The cover is sealed with a gasket, fixed by a bolt, a nut and the pipe box.

[0733] Thermal insulating layer with a predetermined thickness is attached to the inner wall ofthe pipe box to reduce heat loss.

[0734] Edges ofthe tube sheet are welded to reinforced bars to prevent distortion.

[0735] This embodiment is related to an inorganic high heat transfer air pre- heater installed on the top of a crude heater. It comprises independent channels for the air and the smoke, which go through a set of aligned and parallel boxes, along with an intermediate sealed plate in the middle. One end ofthe box is connected with the smoke channel while the other end is connected with the air channel. An inorganic heat transfer tube bundle is installed in every box. A radiating fin is welded to the heat transfer pipe. Tube sheets on both sides ofthe box supports both ends ofthe pipe. The inorganic heat transfer pipes may penetrate the intermediate sealed tube sheet in the box. The surface thereof is connected with the partition in the sealed case.

[0736] A bundle ofthe inorganic heat fransfer pipes is installed longitudinally in the box. A radiating fin is provided on the inorganic heat transfer pipe. The fin absorbs the heat and transfers it to the other end ofthe pipe to fully heat the cold air. Vertical endplates on both sides ofthe connecting box support both ends of the pipe. Each box contains an upright sealed tube sheet inside. The surface of the sealed tube sheet is connected with the sideboard ofthe box so that there is no leak between the air channel, the flue channel and the environment. [0737] The smoke box ofthe air pre-heater is installed in the hot smoke channel ofthe smoke afterheat recovery apparatus. An air outlet is connected with the intake ventilator via the air channel. Heated air is directed into the smoke afterheat recovery apparatus through the air channel and the intake ventilator. [0738] To improve the heat exchange efficiency ofthe inorganic heat fransfer pipe, the inorganic high heat transfer tube bundle should be inclinedly installed. The side ofthe air cavity should be higher than the side ofthe smoke cavity. When the inorganic high heat fransfer tube bundle is perpendicular to the supporting plate, the whole box should be tilted toward the smoke cavity. Thus, the tube bundle in the pipe box forms an angle between 3° and 20° with the horizontal plane.

[0739] The pre-heater with stracture as stated above can be used as a single device. Alternatively, two pre-heaters may be combined in series or connected in parallel for application.

[0740] The workflow ofthe apparatus in this embodiment is described as follows: the tube bundle in the smoke cavity recovers the heat carried by the smoke. The heat is rapidly fransferred to the tube bundle in the air cavity and thereby increases the temperature ofthe air and cools the smoke by transferring the heat to the air.

[0741] This embodiment has the following advantages in comparison with current pre-heaters with tube banks: 1) Air and smoke move as counter flows for heat exchange, contributing to high heat exchange efficiency and small heat exchanger size; 2) It is easy to clean the soot in the apparatus because of its simple structure; small smoke resistance; 3) Heat transfer pipe and tube sheet are connected together in a floating manner so that there is no thermal stress of temperature gradient therebetween caused by temperature fluctuation in operation; 4) damage caused by corrosion is rare on the heat fransfer pipes; very few ofthe pipes are abraded; no need for shutting down the apparatus for repair; and excellent reliability.

Example 59

[0742] This embodiment is an inorganic high heat transfer horizontal afterheat boiler. A stream-instilling boiler is the main equipment used to collect thick oil from the field. This embodiment preheats the air used as an agent in combustion in the boiler by the afterheat carried by the smoke. FIG. 5ZK schematically shows an inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater in the stream-instilling boiler. [0743] In this embodiment, an inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater is installed at the smoke outlet in the counter flow section ofthe boiler. It heats the air used as the agent in combustion in the boiler by the afterheat carried by the smoke. The inorganic high heat air pre-heater should be inclinedly installed. The angle between the heat transfer pipe and the horizontal plane should not be smaller than 5°. The smoke side should be installed in the lower position while the airside should be in the upper position.

[0744] A ventilator for the instilling boiler should be installed between the inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater and the burner to reduce the cold air intake channels in the air pre-heater and diminish the pressure difference between the air system and the atmospheric air to reduce air leak. [0745] FIG. 5ZK shows the structure ofthe inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heater. It comprises smoke side tube sheet 2423, smoke intake 2424, inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 2425, side board 2426, smoke outlet 2427, intermediate partition 2428, air outlet 2429, air intake 2430 and side air tube sheet 2431. Welding or fastening devices to form the air pre-heater box connects all parts except the inorganic high heat transfer pipes. Inorganic high heat transfer pipes 2425 penetrate the seals on the pipe and then enter the side air tube sheet 2431, the intermediate partition 2428 and the smoke side tube sheet 2423 and is floatingly connected with other three tube sheets.

[0746] The operating theory of this equipment is described as follows. Smoke enters the air pre-heater from the smoke intake 2424 and goes through the channel composed ofthe smoke side tube sheet 2423, the intermediate partition 2428 and the sideboard 2426. The smoke then exchanges heat with the inorganic high heat transfer pipe 2425 in the channel by transferring the heat to the tube bundle. Cooled smoke exits via the smoke outlet 2427. The inorganic high heat transfer pipe 2424 axially fransfers the heat to the side air tube sheet by the inorganic high heat transfer medium therein. The air enters the air pre-heater from the air intake 2430 and goes through the channel composed ofthe side air tube sheet 2431, the intermediate partition 2428 and the sideboard 2426. The air then exchanges heat with the side air pipe segment ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe and heats the air by removing the heat from the smoke side. Heated air enters the boiler as an agent in combustion via the air outlet 2429.

[0747] This embodiment has numerous advantages, including: utilizing the air pre-heater to heat the air for combustion in the instilling boiler, thus, the combustion temperature ofthe fumace chamber is high and the fuel is combusted completely; the boiler also achieves high thermal efficiency since the afterheat produced by the boiler is recycled; the wall temperature ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater is adjustable; a gate for cold air can be installed at the ventilator intake to adjust the wall temperature according to seasons and load; it can prevent dew forming on the heat exchanging surface as well as low temperature corrosion and soot accumulation; soot can be easily cleaned; the air preheater has well-arranged structure and is easy to maintain.

Example 60

[0748] This embodiment is an afterheat water heater for instilling boilers utilizing the inorganic high heat fransfer theory ofthe present invention. In this embodiment, water supplied from the boiler is softened and heated in the inorganic high heat fransfer water pre-heater. After being deoxygenated, the preheated water is fransported to the counter flow section in the boiler by the high- pressure plunger pump.

[0749] As FIG. 5ZL shows, the inorganic high heat water pre-heater comprises end thermal insulating layer 2432, smoke side tube sheet 2433, inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 2434, smoke intake 2435, smoke outlet 2436, smoke side plate 2437, water side tube sheet 2438, water tank 2439, soft water intake 2440 and soft water outlet 2441. All the parts except the inorganic high heat transfer pipes 2434 are welded together. One end ofthe smoke side ofthe inorganic high heat transfer pipe is mounted on the smoke side tube sheet 2433. The side near the water tank 2439 is welded to the side water tube sheet 2438. The operating theory of this equipment is described as follows. Smoke enters the water pre-heater from the smoke intake 2435 and goes through the channel composed ofthe smoke side tube sheet 2433, the smoke side plate 2437 and the waterside tube sheet 2438. The smoke then changes heat with the surface ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe near the smoke side in the channel, transferring the heat to the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 2434. The inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 2434 axially fransfers the heat to the pipe sections in the water tank by the inorganic high heat transfer medium therein. Soft water enters the water tank 2439 via the soft water intake 2440 and exchanges heat with the inorganic high heat fransfer pipe in the water tank on both sides. The water is heated since it receives the heat from the smoke side ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe. Heated soft water exits the water pre-heater via the soft water outlet 2441. [0750] This embodiment has the following advantages: 1) the instilling boiler recycles the afterheat carried by smoke by the soft water pre-heater, which promotes the efficiency and reduce fuel consumption ofthe boiler; 2) the heat exchange area in the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes on the smoke and water sides ofthe water pre-heater is adjustable to increase the wall temperature, prevent the formation of dew and reduce/avoid low temperature corrosion and soot accumulation; 3) each inorganic high heat fransfer pipe is an independent heat conducting element, thus, the apparatus can operate safely even though one ofthe pipes is damaged and no water leakage will happen.

Example 61

[0751] This embodiment is an inorganic high heat transfer afterheat boiler for heating furnaces. As FIG.5ZM shows, several parallel pipe banks are arranged in the rectangular pipe box, namely inorganic high heat fransfer pipe-pipe bank 2442. A plurality of regularly aligned holes are provided on the supporting plate for the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes. The flowing directions ofthe water and the smoke depend on the conditions on site. As shown in the figure, the smoke flows vertically. However, the smoke flows horizontally in a horizontal boiler. Soot cleaning hole 2443 can be installed according to the amount ofthe soot contained in the fuel used in the furnace. [0752] Heat exchange for water takes place outside the pipe to prevent blockage caused by incrustation in ordinary water and fire pipes. A manhole 2444 can be provided on the cylinder for the purpose of checking the conditions of incrastation and corrosion on the heat exchange pipe and the boiler drum. A high effect screen demister is installed on the top ofthe boiler drum to avoid the steam from carrying water droplet for better steam quality.

[0753] The inorganic heat fransfer tube bundle should be inclinedly installed to ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipes. [0754] The structure ofthe inorganic high heat transfer pipes is described as follows. The pipes are divided into the parts without fin or with fins along the high heat transfer pipe. The part without fin is installed on the waterside ofthe afterheat boiler while the part with fins is installed on the smoke side. The intermediate sleeve is welded to the casing ofthe boiler. [0755] The workflow of this embodiment is described as follows: the tube bundle in the smoke cavity recycles the heat carried by smoke. The tube bundle in the boiler drum increases the temperature of water by transferring the heat to water for heat exchange.

[0756] This embodiment has the following advantages: 1) compact structure; 2) stable water circulation; 3) scarce incrustation; 4) the middle ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe is welded to the boiler, thus, both ends thereof can expand freely so that there is no thermal stress in operation and the weld is unlikely to be damaged; 5) each inorganic high heat transfer pipe is an independent heat conducting element, therefore, is no need for turning off the apparatus immediately for repair in case that a few pipes are damaged since no water leakage will occur and it no significant impact on heat exchange efficiency is introduced.

Example 62

[0757] Figure 5ZNA shows the stracture of an inorganic heat fransfer anti- dew-point corrosion air pre-heater, which is used to pre-heat the air used as an agent in combustion. [0758] Most heat fransfer pipes in existing air pre-heaters are made of steel. When the temperature ofthe pipe wall is lower than 120°C, dew occurs on the smoke side, which corrodes the pipe and shortens the service life. To tackle this problem, ND steel pipes are currently used in some pre-heaters to resist the corrosion. However, its anti-dew corrosion performance is still unsatisfactory when the temperature of smoke is lower than 150°C due to the quality problems ofthe ND steel.

[0759] This embodiment provides an inorganic heat fransfer anti-dew-point corrosion air pre-heater featuring excellent resistance to corrosion, long service life and high heat fransfer.

[0760] The inorganic heat fransfer anti-dew-point corrosion air pre-heater of this embodiment comprises heat fransfer pipes, tube sheets and pipe boxes. The uniqueness is that the anti-corrosion heat pipes is formed from the organic combination ofthe inorganic heat fransfer elements and ceramic material. The pipe comprises fin tubes and the ceramic layer on the surface ofthe fin tubes. [0761] The central seal loop and holes on the intermediate tube sheet in each heat fransfer pipe are sealed conically. One end ofthe pipe has a compressed spring, which ensures that the central seal loop always seals the holes on the tube sheet.

[0762] To tackle the problem with dew-point corrosion, this embodiment applies high heat fransfer, corrosion-resist ceramic coating to the surface ofthe fin tube the flue channel. The ceramic material is sintered to form the anti-corrosion heat fransfer tubes. Since the corrosion on the fin tubes only occurs when the smoke is at low temperature, all or some ofthe heat transfer pipes in the flue channel are anti-corrosion pipes. That is, these pipes may be applied only to where the smoke has lower temperature, such as the exit ofthe flue channel. This is to assure better heat conductivity and longer service life ofthe air pre-heater. [0763] A conical seal loop is provided between the heat transfer pipe and the hole on the intermediate tube sheet to prevent the mixing ofthe smoke and the air caused by leakage from the hole ofthe intermediate tube sheet, which reduces thermal efficiency. After the pipe is fixed, the loop seals exactly the hole on the tube sheet. In order to keep the loop in place by preventing the displacement due to heat expansion, a spring is installed to one side ofthe heat transfer pipe so that the loops can always seal the hole. Ceramic coating can be applied to any. part that might be corroded in the air pre-heater.

[0764] This embodiment has the following advantages: excellent anti- corrosion performance; long service life; large amount of recycled heat; and high thermal efficiency.

[0765] The structure and manners of implementation of this embodiment are elaborated with the attached drawings.

[0766] As FIG. 5ZNA shows, the air pre-heater may be a combined stracture, namely a combination of several pipe boxes, for easy transportation and installation. This embodiment furnishes two vertically connected pipe boxes 2453 and 2456. Intermediate tube sheet 2457 and connected partition 2454 separate the box into a ventilation channel 2462 and a flue channel 2458. Smoke intake 2459 and air outlet 2461 are provided on the top ofthe upper pipe box; smoke outlet 2451 and air intake 2465 are installed at the bottom ofthe lower pipe box. The heat fransfer pipe and the intermediate tube sheet are peφendicular to the tube sheets 2455, 2464 on both sides and are 10° from the horizontal plane. Soot blowing holes 2460 are provided on the upper and lower channels near the flue channel. A soot-cleaning door 2452 is provided on a side ofthe bottom ofthe lower pipe box. Heat tube 2463 is filled with the inorganic transfer medium with good heat fransfer performance. Anti-corrosion heat fransfer tubes are used in the lower channel as the heat transfer tubes in this embodiment (see FIG. 5ZPA) that comprises the heat tubes 2463 with fins and the ceramic layer 2466 on the fin tubes. Heat transfer tubes in the air channel ofthe pipe box and in the flue channel ofthe upper pipe box are ordinary heat fransfer tubes, alternatively, anti- corrosion tubes can be used in the flue channel ofthe upper pipe box. A conical seal loop is welded between the middle ofthe heat transfer tube corresponding to the hole on the intermediate tube sheet. After the heat transfer tube is fixed, the loop exactly seals the hole on the tube sheet. As FIG. 5ZOA shows, a positioning handle 2467 is installed equally and correspondingly to tube sheet 2455 on the left side ofthe heat transfer tube. A spring 2469 is mounted on the handle and is fixed by a press plate 2468 and a nut 2470 penetrating therethrough. When the heat transfer tube is displaced to the right side due to thermal expansion, the tension force ofthe spring prevents it from such displacement. Thus, it is for sure that the seal loop always seals the hole. The spring can also be mounted on the heat fransfer tube. FIG. 5ZPA schematically shows the structure ofthe anti-corrosion heat fransfer tube of this embodiment. A ceramic coating with the thickness of 0.2mm is applied on the surface ofthe heat transfer tube and the fin.

Example 63

[0767] FIG. 5ZNB shows an inorganic high heat transfer soft water heater. In order to make the boiler system more economic, a heat recovery apparatus is often installed in the outgoing flue channel to preheat the water in the boiler. Accordingly, higher heat exchange efficiency and reduced energy consumption can be achieved. This embodiment is an inorganic high heat transfer soft water heater, which heats the soft water in the boiler by the heat carried by smoke. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adopted to enhance the efficiency in heat exchange operations.

[0768] Most afterheat boiler soft water heaters are based on water or fire pipes. Shortcomings of these boilers include complex boiler construction and numerous welds, unstable boiling and circulation ofthe water within the boiler, low exothermal coefficients on the smoke side; fins cannot be installed inside the pipe which results in low heat fransfer rate; long starting time with large heat loss when there is no operation, and incrustation formed inside the pipe is hard to be removed.

[0769] This embodiment provides a boiler soft water pre-heater featuring high heat efficiency, small size and easy removal of incrastation. The key point about the device is utilizing the inorganic high heat fransfer element for heat exchange. It has the following advantages:

[0770] Simple workflow; as shown in FIG. 5ZNB, there are a plurality sets of parallel pipe banks, namely the inorganic high heat transfer pipe bank in the rectangular pipe box with openings at both ends. A plurality of regularly arranged and connected inorganic high heat fransfer pipes are provided on the boiler drum. The flowing directions ofthe soft water and the smoke depend on the conditions on site. As the attached figure shows, the flowing direction ofthe soft water is opposite to that ofthe smoke to facilitate heat exchange. The inorganic high heat fransfer pipe banks in the smoke box are connected with in the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes on the boiler drum. The number of pipe banks in the smoke box and the boiler drum is the same.

[0771] An inorganic high heat transfer element 2472 is applied to the main heat exchange surface. The inorganic high heat soft water heater is arranged horizontally. The inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat soft water heater is provided on the smoke and air channels to reduce space. The inorganic high heat fransfer tube bundle should be inclinedly or vertically installed. The pre-heated side should be higher than the side ofthe smoke cavity. [0772] This embodiment combines perfectly the features of both flue boiler and tubular boiler. Similar to a flue boiler, the heat source end ofthe element is inserted into the flue channel. However, the heating area is outside the pipe. The heat sink end is in the water within the boiler drum, which is similar to the tubular boiler. The heating area is outside the pipe as well. Heat exchange for both smoke and water takes place outside the pipe and thus, soot incrustation and blockage may be avoided.

[0773] The inorganic high heat transfer element 2472 and the casing 2471 are connected by welding which can be easily done. Failure of any single element does not affect the whole operation.

[0774] The workflow of this embodiment is described as follows: the tube bundle in the smoke cavity recovers the heat carried by smoke. Then the tube bundle in the boiler drum increases the temperature of water by releasing the heat for heat exchange. Example 64

[0775] FIG. 5ZNC and 5ZOC show an inorganic high heat transfer bridge double channel afterheat recovery device. As a new heat exchange approach in indusfrial production, the inorganic high heat fransfer element will be widely applied in the future. A typical application is for vaporizing water heated by the afterheat carried by recycled industrial exhaust. This embodiment is a bridge double channel afterheat recovery apparatus, which utilizes the inorganic high heat transfer element to achieve efficient heat transfer. [0776] This embodiment has two key points. First, the apparatus uses the inorganic high heat transfer elements as heat transferring elements for heat exchange. Second, it improves heat transfer efficiency with the unique bridge double channels structure.

[0777] The main structure of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 52NC. [0778] This embodiment comprises a heat sink end, including a boiler drum 2476, a low temperature water supply 2477 and a steam output 2478; together with a heat source end including a U-type channel 2473, smoke intake 2474, smoke output 2475 and an ash cylinder 2482; along with the inorganic heat fransfer element. The inorganic heat transfer element produces steam by vaporizing the water at the heat sink end by the heat absorbed from the smoke at the heat source end.

[0779] This embodiment has the following features. Ordinary heat pipe afterheat recovery apparatus is saddle-type, as shown in FIG. 5ZOC. The bare pipe is inserted into the water into the boiler drum while the fin tube is inserted into the flue channel. A huge amount of smoke passes from one end to the other for horizontal cross ofthe fin tubes on the heat transfer element, which is fixed on the wall ofthe boiler drum through the intermediate sleeve. Such a stracture causes considerable incrustations of soot on the smoke back side ofthe fins, increases thermal resistance and is harmful for heat transfer. It should also be noted that the boiler wall bears the weight ofthe whole element since the both ends thereof are free. Under these circumstances, the wall is easily distorted at the opening ofthe boiler drum where the stress is concentrated and thus, the strength and rigidity ofthe boiler drum is weakened. Thus, it is very unlikely to increase the number ofthe heat transfer elements to enhance the vaporization in the boiler. This structure is only suitable for stable operating condition instead of that with impulse heat load.

[0780] Based on the advantages ofthe saddle type heat recovery apparatus, this embodiment intends to improve its shortcomings. By adopting the bridged double channel structure, this apparatus comprises a boiler drum, heat fransfer elements and U-type air channels (including an ash cylinder in the middle). The boiler drum is a cylinder parallel to the ground. One side ofthe boiler drum has a hole to supply cold water while steam travels from an outlet on the top thereof. The bare pipe section is inclined or vertical to the horizontal central line ofthe boiler drum. Two groups ofthe bare pipes are inserted into the cylinder and are connected by a U-type channel. The length ofthe inserted portion depends on the vaporization capacity. The fin tube and bare pipe on the element are integrated and fixed to the wall ofthe boiler by sleeves. The axis ofthe fin tube is vertical to the flowing direction ofthe smoke, which is parallel to the flat surface ofthe fin. The self-cleaning function is available since soot on the leeward side ofthe fins drops because of gravity. The end ofthe fin tube is connected to the end base while there is no ash collector in the middle and lower parts ofthe U-type channel. The bare pipe section ofthe element has a free end and is sfretchable so that the wall ofthe cylinder is not distorted by thermal expansion. Water is boiled in a large space in the boiler, which is more suitable for the pulse heat load. The fin tube is in the U-type channel. Hot smoke vertically crosses along the axis of the inorganic high heat transfer pipe. This solves the problem with soot incrustation on fins with self-cleaning mechanism. The sectional area in the smoke intake, smoke outlet and intermediate connection in the whole U-type channel is larger and thus, the speed ofthe smoke flow slows down gradually and becomes the slowest in the intermediate connecting section, which makes it easier for the soot to drop into the ash cylinder. Smoke does not affect the heat transfer efficiency since its temperature is still high. Smoke without soot goes in an opposite direction (from bottom to top), and enters the straight channel with smaller sectional area. Although the temperature is lowered, the smoke flows faster to enhance the heat fransfer in this area.

[0781] The smoke flowing from both sides ofthe U-type channel is in counter movement as one flow is above the other. The sfress direction on one inorganic heat fransfer element is opposite to that on the other with same amount. Thus, the combined stress acts on the wall ofthe cylinder is almost offset and the kinetic load is balanced to prevent system resonance due to impose load. [0782] The end ofthe inorganic heat fransfer element is connected to the end base, which reduces stress on the opening ofthe boiler drum and improves the strength and rigidity ofthe boiler drum. The elements are loaded in sections into the boiler so that the strength and rigidity ofthe boiler drum are not reduced by the holes.

Example 65

[0783] FIG. 5ZND, 5ZOD and 5ZPD show an inorganic high heat transfer vortex scroll heat exchanger. This embodiment improves the technique in heat exchangers by adopting the inorganic high heat transfer heat pipe elements. [0784] Most heat exchangers produced nowadays are in rectangular or prismatic shape and installed on ordinary boilers. Large furnaces in chemical and petroleum industries, power plants and steel plants tend to produce a fair amount of smoke, such as hundreds of thousands m³/hr. When there is large amount of heat exchange, it is unlikely to pile up many heat pipes on the windward of the heat exchanger because they will increase not only the resistance of smoke but also the load ofthe ventilator. Therefore, existing heat pipe heat exchanger is not satisfactory.

[0785] This embodiment utilizes the inorganic high heat fransfer element (see figures) to form an inorganic high heat transfer vortex scroll heat exchanger, so as to enhance the heat transfer by the thermal medium. [0786] This embodiment comprises a vortex scroll (made of welded steel plates) and a vortex heat pipe heat exchange apparatus. The vortex heat pipe heat exchange apparatus comprises partition, vortex refracting plate in the air chamber, vortex refracting plate in the smoke chamber and more than eight heat pipe heat exchange units evenly surrounding the axis ofthe spiral scroll. Each heat exchange unit consists more than eighty heat pipes. The edge ofthe partition is welded to the spiral scroll and separates the space into a smoke chamber and an air chamber. All heat pipes penetrate the partition and are welded thereon. The top ofthe refracting plate in the air chamber is welded to the scroll while the bottom thereof is welded to the partition. The top ofthe refracting plate in the smoke chamber is welded to the partition while the bottom thereof is welded to the scroll.

[0787] Smoke enters the smoke chamber via the smoke intake and produces swirling vortex around the heat pipe with the refracting plate in the smoke chamber. The vortex achieves higher heat exchange performance by extending the circulation time in the smoke chamber. Smoke eventually goes to the flue channel via the smoke outlet.

[0788] Similarly, cold air entering the air chamber via the air intake and produces swirling vortex around the heat pipe with the refracting plate in the smoke chamber. The vortex achieves higher heat exchange performance by extending the cold air circulation time in the air chamber. Cold air becomes hot and exits via the hot air outlet for various uses.

[0789] This embodiment is applicable to the afterheat recovery in large size furnaces producing a large amount of smoke and with immense heat exchange.

Example 66

[0790] FIG. 5ZHE shows an inorganic high heat fransfer air-air/air-liquid combined heat exchanger. This embodiment is a comprehensive heat exchanger combining air-air and air-liquid heat exchangers. The structural features of this embodiment reside in that the inorganic high heat fransfer element is axially divided into two sections. Hot gas medium goes through the lower section, cold gas medium goes through the middle section, and cold liquid medium goes through the upper section. The whole apparatus has well-arranged structure, is easy to be installed and operated and suitable for afterheat recovery for smoke in medium and high temperature. The key point about the apparatus is utilization of inorganic high heat transfer element for heat exchange.

[0791] As FIG. 5ZE shows, the inorganic high heat transfer air-air/air-liquid combined heat exchanger comprises four parts, namely container (boiler drum), cold gas medium channel, hot gas medium channel and inorganic high heat transfer element. Hot gas medium passes through the hot gas medium channel and transfers the heat to the inorganic high heat fransfer element by counter flow for heat exchange. The inorganic high heat transfer element axially transfers the heat to the exothermal section with no thermal resistance, which is divided into the gas exothermal segment and the liquid exothermal segment. Part of heat in the gas exothermal segment is exchanged to cold gas medium by means of counter flow such that the medium is heated for use. The rest ofthe heat keeps traveling axially with no thermal resistance and finally exchanges heat with cold liquid medium, which rums into hot liquid medium or steam for use after being heated.

[0792] This structure is suitable for heat exchange of medium/high temperature and with large amount of thermal load. The features of this embodiment lie in excellent thermal conductivity ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element and axial thermal load distribution in proportion. When there is large fluctuation in the thermal load ofthe heat exchange system, the inorganic high heat fransfer element may automatically adjust the thermal load proportion to ensure that the optimal operation ofthe inorganic high heat transfer air-air/air- liquid combined heat exchanger in different industrial and mining conditions.

Example 67

[0793] FIG. 5ZF is an inorganic high heat transfer synthetic ammonia gas making technique gas afterheat recovery device. Gas making section serves as the source of material supplied for ammonia synthesis in nitrogenous fertilizer plants. No matter coal or coke is used as materials in the coal-based gas making technique, or the conversion technique applying natural gas, the converted gas obtained from water gas and semi- water gas produced in conversion is called raw gas. With a high temperature between 700°C and 1000°C, the gases must be cooled before being purified. Afterheat produced at this stage can be recycled for heating other materials.

[0794] In the traditional approach, hot gas from the gas maker or converter enters an afterheat boiler with pipe banks. Medium high pressure steam is produced by heat exchange between the heat in the boiler and the water. Such an apparatus contains a large amount of soot and the gas usually goes through the pipe, where the soot may be cleaned regularly. The steam goes though the casing and exchanges heat with the gas in the afterheat boiler. After being cooled to 250°C when passing the boiler, the gas is directed to the next stage, in which low pressure steam (0.5 MPa) is produced by heating the water. Since the gas, especially the water gas contains a large amount of sulfur; it often washes away the wall ofthe boiler drum and causes dew-point corrosion in the cooling process. Water or steam leakage due to broken pipes frequently stops the production, damages the productive continuity and safety. Another disadvantage is that the pressure ofthe steam produced by cooled technical gas is as low as approximately 0.3 MPa, which leads to the unbalanced system steam source due to surplus low- pressure steam and insufficient medium-pressure steam.

[0795] This embodiment applies high heat fransfer capability ofthe inorganic heat transfer element to design a heat recovery apparatus in which medium/low- pressure afterheat boilers are connected in series with the coal saver so as to overcome the above disadvantages, make the most of high-grade heat source, and achieve the convenience in maintenance and replacement. The inorganic heat fransfer element serves as a medium. The separation of hot gas and steam sides avoids the problem of water leakage due to corrosion. It also refines the steam for more efficient use ofthe afterheat produced from the gas. [0796] The afterheat recovery apparatus in this embodiment utilizes the afterheat ofthe gas as a heat source to produce mid/low-pressure steam for the production in the synthetic ammonia system. It comprises three pieces of heat exchange equipments connected in series, namely a medium-pressure steam waste heat boiler, a low-pressure steam waste heat boiler and a coal saver. [0797] The flowing direction ofthe gas is described as follows. Hot gas enters the medium-pressure steam waste heat boiler, where the temperature is cooled to 550°C after it exchanges heat with the steam. Heated water produces steam of 2.5 MPa at 498°C, which returns to the sections of gas making or conversion for distribution. Gas of about 550°C enters the low-pressure waster heat boiler to obtain the low-pressure steam of 0.5 MPa at 158°C, which is sent into pipe networks throughout the plant. The gas still contains low temperature afterheat when it is cooled to roughly 250°C . The heat can be used to pre-heat the water in the low-pressure waste heat boiler. That is, it is transported to the coal saver for heat exchange and then to the next process for purification. Soft water is directly directed into the low-pressure boiler after being heated in the coal saver. [0798] After passing through three heat exchanging equipment, the heat carried by the gas is fully utilized and the gas is transported out after meeting the requirement for the next procedure.

[0799] Since the temperature ofthe gas source is higher in the medium- pressure waste boiler, the inorganic heat fransfer elements suitable therefore should be high temperature type as the heat transfer medium. The medium- pressure boiler in this embodiment has the central circle stracture. The gas flows in the external boiler drum. Ribs are provided on the surface ofthe heating end of the heat fransfer elements for better heat fransfer. A soot outlet is arranged in the lower part ofthe external boiler drum since the gas contains lots of soot. The steam goes through the inner boiler drum. The produced steam is directed to the equipment consuming steam after the water is separated from the steam on the top ofthe boiler.

[0800] The stracture ofthe low-pressure waste heat boiler is basically the same as that ofthe medium-pressure waste heat boiler. [0801] The structure ofthe coal saver comprises multiple sleeves. The sleeves are sealed with steel plates as the gas passes through this part. Ribs are provided on the surface ofthe inorganic heat transfer inner jacket tube. Water flows through the layers of jacket tubes in series. Even though the coal saver is likely to have dew-point corrosion, it can be easily maintained and replaced since it is independently installed. Hence, users may choose the applications according to their own needs.

Example 68 [0802] FIG. 5ZNG shows an inorganic high heat fransfer sulfur trioxide heat exchanger. In the process of making acids from pyrite as raw material, massive heats are produced in the chemical reactions. The heats produced include high- grade afterheat (higher than 600°C) such as burner gas, medium-grade afterheat (150-600°C) such as burner gas produced in conversion, and low-grade afterheat (lower than 150°C) such as circulating acid liquids in the drying and absorbing process. Afterheat boilers are used to recycle afterheat at high and medium temperatures to produce steam, which can be used in power generation and industries. The sulfur trioxide heat exchanger recovers the afterheat at medium temperature. Sulfur dioxide gas turns into sulfur trioxide gas in oxygenation enhanced by the converter, which is exothermic reaction. The heat produced in the reaction is applied for various heat exchangers to heat up sulfur dioxide to the reaction temperature. The temperature ofthe obtained sulfur trioxide is about 290-300°C as the sulfur trioxide leaves a low-temperature heat exchanger. In the past, an air cooler used to be installed between the converter and an absorbing tower to cool SO₃ gas with air due to technical requirement that the temperature of gas entering the absorbing tower should be between 160°C and 170°C • However, the heated air in this system is discharged into the air and the energy is wasted. In order to recover the heat wasted in this part, an inorganic high heat transfer sulfur trioxide heat exchanger is chosen to produce steam. [0803] The maj or workflow and stracture :

See FIG. 5ZNG for the major workflow of sulfur trioxide afterheat recovery. [0804] The afterheat recovery mainly involves the equipments comprising a converter, high/medium/low-temperature heat exchangers, sulfur trioxide heat exchanger, sulfur trioxide absorbing tower, steam dome, etc. A medium- temperature afterheat boiler system is built up by an inorganic high heat transfer sulfur trioxide heat exchanger, steam domes, water pumps and pipes. The heat transfer elements, in which source end and sink end are separated by a boiler drum, ofthe sulfur trioxide heat exchanger are made of inorganic high heat transfer elements according to the present invention. Therefore, the leak on a certain element due to corrosion will not necessarily affect normal heat exchanger operation, and stopping the equipment for repairs is not needed. [0805] FIG. 5ZOG is the stracture ofa heat fransfer element ofthe inorganic high heat transfer sulfur trioxide heat exchanger.

[0806] The embodiment is structurally featured by that every single heat pipe forms an independent unit module, and multiple unit modules make a steam generator. Such design is easy to install and replace the parts; the tube nest and tube sheets for each unit are securely welded and sealed. It can replace the steam dome and double-tube-sheet structure ofthe sulfur trioxide cooler.

Example 69

[0807] FIG. 5ZNH, 5ZOH and 5ZPH all show total counter flow inorganic high heat transfer heat exchangers. Heat exchangers in current energy and dynamic engineering tend to adopt rectangular casing, which makes manufacture more complex and limits the scope of applications. In order to improve the heat fransfer rate, fins are attached to heat pipes. Alternatively, a flat and straight refracting plate is added to the side with smaller flux to increase the heat exchange coefficient on this side, and to facilitate crossing the fluids with larger and smaller flux. The average temperature gradient between cold and hot fluids is eventually reduced. The flat and straight refracting plates may also caused higher losses due to local resistance.

[0808] The object of this embodiment is to overcome the shortcoming ofthe present technology by providing a total counter flow inorganic high heat transfer heat pipe heat exchanger in which cold and hot fluids foster counter flow.

Combing advantages of ordinary heat pipe heat exchanger and casing heat exchanger, the heat exchanger of this embodiment has the following features: compact structure, high heat exchange efficiency, easy to be made, easy to be installed and suitable for various kinds of pressures and media.

[0809] The key point of this embodiment is using inorganic thermal medium for heat exchange.

[0810] The heat exchanger of this embodiment comprises a boiler drum, in which a horizontal partition divides the boiler into upper and lower parts. There are some heat pipes penetrating the partition. The heat pipes are arranged spirally.

Along the spiral curve, the upper and lower parts ofthe boiler are both equipped with a spiral conductor.

[0811] The cold and hot fluids form counter flow in the conductors. The heat pipes carry out the heat exchange between the cold and hot fluids. Since the flowing directions ofthe hot and cold fluids are opposite to each other, the total counter flow exchange is achieved.

[0812] As a result, this embodiment has the following efficacies:

The installation of conductors to cold and hot fluid sides facilitates total counter flow arrangement between these fluids. It increases average heat fransfer gradient between the two fluids. This arrangement improves the exchanger's performance of heat transfer and reduces the area ofthe exchanger with no changes in thermal load and heat fransfer coefficient. It also reduces the dimension and weight ofthe heat exchanger, lowers costs of production and reduces row material consumption.

[0813] Since the total counter flow heat pipe heat exchanger adopts a design in swirl style, the variation in the flow direction ofthe fluids never exceeds 90° so the losses due to local resistance by flow thereof is less than that in the application of a flat and straight refracting plate.

[0814] The flow conductor is made of non-metal material to reduce self heat transfer in the smaller flux fluids. [0815] The swirl flow of fluids increases heat fransfer coefficient between the fluids and the heat pipes.

[0816] The casing ofthe total counter flow heat pipe heat exchanger could be a cylindrical shape, which is easier to make and extends the range ofthe applied pressure.

[0817] The stracture and working principles of this embodiment are elaborated with the accompanying drawings.

[0818] As shown in FIG. 5ZOH, the heat exchanger of this embodiment comprises upper chamber 2527 and lower chamber 2537. Upper and lower chambers 2527, and 2537 are fixed to both ends of partition 2530 in the boiler through unit bolt nut 2533 and flanges 2534, 2535. There are some heat pipes

2529 penetrating the partitions 2530 while the heat pipes 2529 and the partitions

2530 are closely sealed. Upper flow conductor 2528 and lower flow conductor 2538 are installed respectively to the upper and lower parts ofthe heat pipe 2529. Connecting pipes 2531, and 2532 are installed to upper cylinder 2527, which is linked to the upper flow conductor 2528. Connecting pipes 2536, and 2539 are installed to lower cylinder 2537, which links to the lower flow conductor. [0819] Referring to FIG. 5ZPH, heat pipe 2541 arranges in spiral curve. Flow conductor 2528, and 2543 are spiral-like. Both ends ofthe heat pipe 2541 are installed in the spiral cavity of flow conductor 2528, and 2543. A cold fluid goes into the spiral channel located in the upper cylinder 2527 via connecting pipe 2539. Crossing the sink end ofthe heat pipe, it absorbs heat from the vapor of medium in the heat pipe by condensation, so that the temperature ofthe fluid increases. The fluid then is discharged from connecting pipe 2531. On the other hand, a hot fluid enters connecting pipe 2539 and passes the lower spiral channel. Crossing the sink end ofthe heat pipe, it boils medium in the heat pipe. The medium lowers the temperature ofthe hot fluid by absorbing the heat thereof. The hot fluid then is discharged from connecting pipe 2536. The medium in the heat pipe keeps absorbing the heat from the hot fluid so as to vaporize itself. The vapor ofthe medium is then condensed by the cold fluid and returns to the source end. The process repeats constantly to fransport continuously the heat in the heat pipes to the cold fluid. The cold and hot fluids are counterflowing so as to improve thermal conductivity ofthe heat pipe heat exchanger by enhancing absolute counter flow heat fransfer.

Example 70 [0820] FIG. 5ZNI shows an inorganic high heat transfer heat recovery technology used in dry coke technique. The temperature of red-hot coke discharged from the coke furnace is up to between 1000°C and 1500°C. Fire should be put out as soon as possible to prevent the coke from combustion in air due to oxygenation. The fraditional cooling approach, which sprays water on the coke to lower its temperature to 100°C, takes 1-1.5 ton of water for one ton of coke. The cooled coke contains water by 4-6%. The heat of coke in the cooling process is dissipated to the atmospheres in the form of steam, which carries a considerable amount of soot and hazardous gas into the atmospheres and thus pollutes the environment. The dissipated heat carried by the coke is also wasted. [0821] Nowadays the dry coke technique has been adopted to reduce water consumption and pollution by recycling heat produced in coke cooling. [0822] The accompanying drawing (5ZNI) shows the process of dry coke technique. Coke directors, coke containers, coke carriers and elevating machines are used to load red coke into the dry coke tank, where coke is left for two to three hours and cooled by inert gas to below 250°C. The discharger sends coke from the bottom ofthe apparatus while inert gas is discharged from the top after being heated to 600-850°C. After soot is removed from the gas in a settler, the gas enters the afterheat boiler. The temperature ofthe gas can be reduced to 200°C after it goes through the afterheat boiler. The gas then goes from the ventilator, soot remover and back to the dry coke tank as a cycle. [0823] The heat in amount of 1.34x10⁶ KJ/ton coke can be recycled as the temperature ofthe coke reduces from 1050 to 250°C. 0.45 ton of stem per ton of coke is produced.

[0824] Dry coke approach refines the quality of coke with an increase in coke drum index M40 by 8 % and a decrease in Ml 0 by 5 %. Coke contains less than 0.3 % of water and the coke particles are homogenous, which helps in improving furnace production standard. This approach also surpasses the cooling by water spraying because of not polluting the atmospheres.

[0825] What is applied in the dry coke technique currently is conventional water pipe afterheat boilers. Such kind of boiler is very big and expensive, and leads to significant resistance losses and complex maintenance procedure. [0826] On the other hand, the afterheat boiler adopting inorganic high heat fransfer element has the following advantages in comparison with traditional water pipe afterheat boilers:

The weight of this boiler is only 1/3 to 1/5 of that ofthe fraditional water pipe boiler; its size is only half to 1/3 ofthe water pipe boiler;

Resistance produced by smoke passing the afterheat boiler is only 1/2- 1/3 so the ventilator consumes less energy; and

Even though part of inorganic high heat fransfer elements are damaged, it does not affect the operation ofthe afterheat boiler so there is no need for stopping the boiler for maintenance. *****

[0827] Compared with ordinary heat pipes, the inorganic high heat transfer element has the following advantages:

Great heat transfer capability: axial heat flux density is up to 27.2MW/m²; radial heat flux density is up to 158KW/ m²;

Wide range of operating temperature: the range of temperature of medium suitable for the inorganic high heat fransfer element is between -60°C and 1000 °C;

Long useful life of more than 110,000 hours;

It is not cracked when the temperature drops below 0°C so it is not necessary to consider issues about the thermal insulation ofthe pipes;

The tubular wall can bear higher temperature than ordinary pipes do so they do not blow up; and

Excellent thermostatic feature, preventing dew-point corrosion caused by smoke. [0828] The afterheat recovery apparatus with inorganic high heat fransfer elements has achieved excellent performance in applications to large furnaces in steel industry such as blast fumace, sintering machine and steel heating furnace. [0829] In dry coke technique, the temperature ofthe gas entering the afterheat boiler is between 650°C and 800°C while the temperature at the smoke intake in the steam generating apparatus is the same. Therefore, as far as the factor of temperature is concerned, there should be no problem with the application ofthe inorganic high heat transfer afterheat recovery technology to dry coke technique. As a result, the development of afterheat recovery of dry coke will have a promising future.

Example 71 [0830] FIG. 5ZNJ, 5ZOJ and 5ZPJ all show inorganic high heat transfer air pre-heaters in furfural refiner. This embodiment is an air pre-heating device using heat carried by hot smoke discharged from the furfural refiner furnace to heat air there. Inorganic high heat transfer element is adapted to enhance effective heat exchange as stated above.

[0831] It is necessary to pre-heat the air about going into the furnace to save fuel and improve the performance ofthe furnace. Normally the air is preheated by heat exchanging between the hot smoke from the blast furnace and relatively cold air.

[0832] Most ofthe present pre-heaters are the ones with pipe banks, which have a disadvantage of low heat exchange efficiency. In order to heat air up to the required temperature, the dimension ofthe heat exchanger must be increased. Moreover, it is difficult to remove soot in the heat exchanger. [0833] The object of this embodiment is to provide an air pre-heater featuring high heat efficiency, small size and ease of removing soot. [0834] The embodiment is mainly related to using the inorganic high heat transfer element for heat exchanging.

[0835] The air pre-heater of the furfural refiner furnace is composed of a pipe box, which is a frame structure. The pipebox is separated into two cavities (left and right) by an intermediate tube sheet. The inorganic high heat fransfer pipe penefrates the box horizontally via the hole on the intermediate tube sheet. Sealed flanges are used to separate the left cavity from the right one. Air goes through the right cavity, which is a sink end while smoke goes through the left cavity, which is a source end. Both ends ofthe element are supported by two tube sheets on both sides, which are parallel to the tube sheet in the middle. As shown in the schematic drawing indicated below, air intake pipe 2564 is installed to the top of the air cavity and air outlet pipe 2565 to the bottom of it. Smoke intake pipe 2566 is installed to the bottom ofthe smoke cavity and smoke outlet pipe 2567 on the top (see FIG. 5ZOJ). Inorganic high heat transfer pipe comprises metal tube 2568 (FIG. 5ZPJ) and a fin 2569 (FIG. 5ZPJ) on the outer surface of wall ofthe tube 2568. There is a sealed flange 2570 (FIG. 5ZPJ) between each pipe and tube sheet.

[0836] To ensure proper operation of inorganic heat fransfer pipe, the side of air cavity should be higher than that ofthe smoke cavity. A soot blower 2571 (FIG. 5ZNJ) is installed in the smoke cavity. The top ofthe cavity is sealed and there are several air holes on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower port 2567 (FIG. 5ZOJ) and external pressurized air pipe can be linked together. A thermal insulating layer 2572 (FIG. 5ZNJ) is installed on the wall ofthe pipe box. [0837] The workflow thereof is as follows: the tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; then the tube nest in the air cavity increases the temperature of air by sending heat to it.

Example 72 [0838] FIG. 5ZNK, 5ZOK and 5ZPK all show the inorganic high heat fransfer air pre-heater in inorganic high heat fransfer constant depressurizing devices in refinery, according to the present invention. This embodiment exemplifies an air pre-heating device using heat carried by hot smoke discharged from the depressurizing device fumace to heat joint air entering the fumace. The inorganic high heat fransfer element according to the present invention is adapted to enhance effective heat exchange as stated above. [0839] It is necessary to pre-heat air going into the furnace to save fuel consumption and improve the performance ofthe fumace. Normally air is preheated by heat exchanging between hot smoke from the blast fumace and cold air.

[0840] Most of the pre-heaters is the ones with pipe banks which have the disadvantage of low heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the dimension ofthe heat exchanger must be sized up to heat air up to the required temperature. In addition, it is difficult to remove soot in the heat exchanger.

[0841] The object of this embodiment is also to provide an air pre-heater featuring high heat efficiency, small size and ease of removing soot.

[0842] The embodiment is related to using the inorganic high heat fransfer element for heat exchanging.

[0843] The air pre-heater ofthe depressurizing device furnace is composed of a pipe box, which has a frame structure. The pipebox is separated into two cavities (left and right) by an intermediate tube sheet. The inorganic high heat transfer pipe penefrates the box horizontally via the hole on the intermediate tube sheet. Sealed flanges are used to separate the left cavity from the right one. Air goes through the right cavity, which is a sink end while smoke goes through the left cavity, which is a source end. Both ends ofthe element are supported by two tube sheets on both sides, which are parallel to the tube sheet in the middle.

Direction of air and smoke flows depends on the condition on site. The attached drawing shows that air intake pipe 2573 (FIG. 5ZOK) is installed at the bottom of the air cavity while air outlet pipe 2575 (FIG. 5ZOK) is installed on the top ofthe smoke cavity. Smoke outlet pipe 2576 (FIG. 5ZOK) is installed at the bottom.

Inorganic high heat transfer pipe comprises metal tube 2579 (FIG. 5ZPK) and fin

2580 (FIG. 5ZPK) installed on the outer surface ofthe wall ofthe tube 2579. Seal flange 2581 (FIG. 5ZPK) is installed between each high heat fransfer pipe and the tube sheet.

[0844] To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic heat fransfer pipe, the side of air cavity should be higher than that ofthe smoke cavity. A soot blower 2582

(FIG. 5ZNK) is installed in the smoke cavity. The top ofthe cavity is sealed and there are several air holes on the wall ofthe blower so that the blower port 2576 (FIG. 5ZOK) and external pressurized air pipe can be linked together. A thermal insulating layer 2582 (FIG. 5ZNK) is installed on the wall ofthe pipe box. [0845] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: the tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke; then the tube nest in the air cavity increases the temperature of water by sending heat to air.

Applications of Energy Collecting Systems in Heating [0846] The following Examples 73 to 87 show applications ofthe heat transfer elements used for heating in energy collecting systems, such as solar collectors and geothermal collectors. Apparatuses include solar water heater, solar hot blast tool, solar collector tube, solar collector plate, geothermal collecting apparatus, geothermal steam boiler, geothermal water temperature heater, geothermal water-air heater, inorganic high heat fransfer geothermal power generating system, inorganic high heat transfer low temperature geothermal heating system, inorganic high heat transfer solar construction heating system, high heat fransfer solar water heater to be installed on the balcony, plate inorganic high heat transfer solar water heater, medium heat storage device and high heat transfer solar energy collector plate.

Example 73 [0847] The present invention furnishes a solar water heater, as shown in FIG. 6A. It comprises double-layer vacuum glass heat collecting tube 604, water tank (pressure-resist) 607 and inorganic high heat fransfer element 611. The internal wall ofthe tube 601 thereof serves as a heat collecting layer. The inorganic high heat transfer element 611 goes through a heat absorbing plate, such as ω -type heat absorbing aluminum board 614. The element comes into close contact with the inner wall ofthe double-layer vacuum glass heat collecting tube 604 while the other side ofthe tube is in the water tank to convert solar energy into thermal energy. [0848] To be more specific, the double-layer vacuum glass heat collecting tube 604 collects heat when penetrating the internal wall ofthe vacuum tube 601 , reaching a high temperature of 300°C • The inorganic high heat fransfer element 611 goes through the U-type heat absorbing aluminum board 614 and comes into close contact with the inner wall ofthe double-layer vacuum glass heat collecting tube 604. Exposed part ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element 611 inserts into the pressure-resist water tank 607. Connectors are jointed with water-proof sealing valve for water-proof nipple connection. Pressure-resist water tank 607 is based on a sandwich stracture, which is filled with thermal insulating layer 610. Safety valve 609 is installed at the bottom to prevent explosions caused by pressurized steam due to overheated water in the water tank. Water intake 608 and water outlet 606 are installed on both sides at the bottom ofthe pressure-resist water tank 607 to link to water used in the cold-water source through pipes. Water thermal sensors, scale sensors and elecfric heating elements can be installed in the water tank. In this case, water can be heated with electricity in regions with short daytime for adequate hot water supply. A variety of water tank support 613 and heat collector support 603 are available according to different positions of installation. Reflecting plate 605 is installed under the double-layer vacuum glass heat collecting tube 604. It accomplishes in maximal use of sunlight through reflection.

Example 74 [0849] This embodiment according to the present invention is a solar hot blast tool (see FIG. 6B), which mainly comprises solar energy collecting segment 622 and air heating segment 616. The solar energy collecting segment 622 comprises sets of vacuum heat collectors 619 with inorganic high heat transfer element tube 623 inside as well as arc polish reflector 620. The air heating segment is a box with inserted inorganic high heat fransfer element tubes. Air enters the box from one side 617 and exits from the other side 615. The vacuum heat collector 619 collects solar radiant energy going through the inorganic high heat transfer element 623. Heat is then passed from the solar collecting segment to the air in the heating segment 616.

[0850] The inorganic high heat fransfer solar hot blast tool can be an integrated combination in terms of structure, also known as integrated stracture. Solar energy collecting segment 622 is under air heating segment 616. These two parts are separated by a partition. The hot blast tool may be placed in a leaning position wherever there is sufficient sunlight. Heat collection and heating in the apparatus operates synchronically. The air ventilator supplies cold air while hot air is distributed to users through pipes. Since heat transfer coefficient at the air heating segment is small, ribs may be applied to the surface ofthe inorganic high heat transfer tube in the present invention for larger heating area. [0851] If the tool cannot be positioned as a whole due to limited space, the solar energy collecting segment 622 and air heating segment 616 can be installed separately, namely in a separated structure. In this case, the solar energy collecting segment 622 is placed where there is sufficient sunlight while the air heating segment 616 is placed in a higher place indoors. The two parts are lined together with inorganic high heat transfer element 623, which features rapid heat fransfer and better thermostatic effect. The thermal insulating surface is called thermal insulating segment 625. Heat received by the solar energy collecting segment 622 fravels quickly to the distant air heating segment 616. The cold air sent by the ventilator is heated up when it passes the inorganic high heat fransfer element 623. The heated air is distributed to users through pipes. To reduce resistance, the ventilator can be placed as close to the air heater as possible according to conditions on site. Ribs are installed onto the side board ofthe inorganic heat transfer element 623 on the air side.

Example 75 [0852] The present invention also furnishes an inorganic high heat transfer vacuum tube ofthe solar water heater as shown in FIG. 6C. As part ofthe solar energy processing apparatus, it is used exclusively to receive solar radiant energy and is called heat collecting segment 626. It comprises an array of vacuum tube nest with inserted inorganic high heat fransfer elements with heat collecting lugs 628 together with arc polish reflector. Vacuum tube 630 is made of special glass; inorganic high heat transfer elements coming in a tube structure is made of copper. The side ofthe element inserting into the vacuum heat collector stands for heating end 629 while the other side is called cooling end 624. The cooling end extends to another part ofthe solar apparatus, i.e. heat receiving segment 625. When the vacuum heat collector (heat collecting segment 626) is placed in a leaning position under sufficient sunlight, the inserted inorganic high heat fransfer elements 629 absorb solar radiating heat, which comes through the vacuum tubes on the surface ofthe apparatus. Featuring excellent thermal conductivity and thermostatic performance, the element transports rapidly absorbed heat to the heat receiving segment 625.

[0853] Heat collectors based on tube structure have better performance in terms of tracking and receiving solar radiating beams in various directions. By applying inorganic high heat transfer elements, heat received at the heat collecting segment 626 is soon transported to the heat receiving segment 625. This promotes the use rate of heat received to a great extent. Heat collecting lug 633 and arc polish reflector can also be applied to reflecting light not absorbed by inorganic high heat fransfer elements to the tube wall so that the element can absorb it again, which improves the access rate of solar energy. Adopting a gravity-type structure without a tubular core, the inorganic high heat transfer element is self-locked when the temperature ofthe heating segment is lower than that ofthe cooling one.

[0854] Rib 645 may also be installed to the cooling end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element to fransport heat promptly to the cold source.

Example 76 [0855] This embodiment illustrates a plate inorganic high heat transfer solar water heater 644 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6D. For exclusively receiving solar radiant energy, it normally serves as the heat collecting segment ofthe solar energy apparatus. It comprises hollow cavity (e.g. rectangular) filled with inorganic high heat fransfer medium 643. Its radiation receiving surface 642 may range from a flat surface to a camper in order to help the heat collector receive solar radiating beams in all directions to the maximal extent and facilitate better perfonnance in tracking sunlight. Plate type inorganic high heat fransfer solar collector 644 can receive solar radiation directly and convert it into thennal energy when being placed in a leaning direction under the sun.

[0856] The heat collecting segment and heat receiving segment in solar energy apparatus are linked together and separated with a partition. The structure is called an integrated structure. Efficiency in using solar energy depends on the process of heat receiving, dissipation and exchange. Sometimes there is a need for long-distance thermal transmission so distance between the heat collecting segment and the heat receiving segment is long. This embodiment realizes such demand by applying inorganic high heat transfer elements. An array of inorganic high heat fransfer pipes are installed between and linked to both the heat collecting segment and heat receiving segment.

Example 77 [0857] The inorganic high heat¹ fransfer element of the present invention can also be used to collect geothermal energy. Geothermal energy comes in various forms as it can be collected in seawater, river, hot spring, etc. Backwater has better competence in continuous heat supply at the heat source and larger heat fransfer coefficient because of fluidity or rapid heat supply. The structure of heat collecting apparatus is simpler since the collecting segment comprises only several single straight tube inorganic high heat fransfer elements. This is the heating segment 629 ofthe inorganic high heat transfer element. When it is plugged into flowing water, heat from warm water is soon fransported to the distant heat receiving segment 625 through the element. The heat receiving segment in geothermal energy apparatus is cooling end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element 624. When heat is transported to distant destination, the inorganic heat fransfer element can be extended by adding another heat insulating segment 630, which is the transmitting part ofthe element. There will be no heat loss to affect heat transfer efficiency if this segment is well insulated. (See FIG.

6E (a))

[0858] Soil heat collection has a problem with poor continuous heat supply at the heat source and lower heat fransfer coefficient, so that rib 645 should be added to the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe heating end 629 in the warm water collector in the geothermal collecting apparatus. (See FIG. 6E (b))

Example 78 [0859] The present invention also provides an inorganic high heat transfer geothermal steam generating system, as shown in FIG. 6F. It comprises heating well or oil/gas waste well 632, separate type inorganic high heat transfer afterheat heat exchanger 633, storage container 634, steam generator 635, safety valve 609, leveler 636 and water intake 637. The installation ofthe separate type inorganic high heat fransfer afterheat heat exchanger is described as follows. One serves the heating end in the hot or oil gas waste well; the other is the cooling end in the container. Both are linked together with a connecting pipe. A system modeled on a steam boiler comprises container, steam generator 635, safety valve 609, leveler 636 and water intake 637. Water in the container becomes liquid of low boiling point after a certain solute is added it. The liquid vaporizes after being heated, producing low-pressure steam. Filtered by the screen demister in the steam dome, the steam is sent to users via distributing pipes.

Example 79 [0860] The present invention also provides an inorganic high heat transfer geothermal water temperature exchanger as shown in FIG. 6G. It comprises three parts: heat collecting segment 626, heat insulating segment 630 and heat receiving segment 625. The heating segment 629 on the morganic high heat transfer element absorbs heat from water in the heat collecting segment 626. Heat is transported from the transmitting end 631 in the heat insulating segment 630 to the heat receiving segment 625. Cooling end ofthe inorganic high heat transfer element 624 sends heat to cold sources in contact with it in the heat receiving segment, such as cold water.

Example 80 [0861] The present invention also furnishes an inorganic high heat transfer geothermal air heater as shown in FIG. 6H. This embodiment uses the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention to absorb thermal energy from geothermal heat, which is given to cold air to heat it.

[0862] In this embodiment, geothermal water uses heat receiving segment 625 is the geothermal water-air heater. The inorganic high heat fransfer element in the heater must heat cold air entering the heater by passing heat to it. The heat receiving segment 625 is exactly cooling end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element 624. Ribs may be added to the cooling end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention since the counter flow heat exchange coefficient between air and inorganic high heat transfer element is comparably small while it requires large heating area. When cold air crosses inorganic high heat transfer elements with ribs, its temperature rises as it receives heat. The heated air is distributed to users through the other end.

Example 81

[0863] The heat fransfer element of this embodiment can be used in energy collecting system, particularly in the inorganic high heat transfer geothermal power generating system. As FIG. 61 shows, the inorganic high heat fransfer geothermal power generating system comprises separate type inorganic high heat transfer afterheat heat exchanger 650, heating well or oil/gas waste well 651, vaporizer 652, expansion pump 653, compressor 654, condenser 655, circulating pump 656, condenser 657 and power generating module ofthe team turbine 658. The separate type inorganic high heat transfer heat exchanger as described above serves as the core ofthe inorganic high heat transfer geothermal power generating system. It is mainly used to collect and transmit geothermal energy in the system. The apparatus achieves safe and reliable operation of distant thermal transmission, in which massive heat goes through an extremely small area without any extra driving force.

[0864] The installation ofthe separate type inorganic high heat transfer afterheat heat exchanger 651 is described as follows. One serves the heating end in the heating or oil gas waste well 651 ; the other is the cooling end in the vaporizer 652. Both are linked together with a connecting pipe. Heat in the heating or oil/gas waste well 651 continuously travels to the vaporizer 652. The heat pump system is the circuit composed of vaporizer 652, condenser 655, compressor 654 and expansion pump 653. The circulating power generating system of low boiling point medium comprises condenser 655 in the heat pump system, power generating module ofthe team turbine 658, condenser 657 and circulating pump 656. Liquid in the heat pump system vaporizes after it absorbs heat as it passes by; circulation caused by condensation and heat release heats liquid in the condenser. Medium of low boiling point is applied to condenser 655 in the heat pump system, which serves as a boiler filled of low boiling point. Steam produced there enters the power generating module ofthe steam turbine via pipes to power on the turbine for electricity generation.

[0865] The inorganic high heat fransfer geothermal power generating system in this embodiment has the following advantages: efficient use of geothermal energy; environmental protection and reduction of energy consumption; the above described and shown heat transfer of inorganic high heat fransfer elements is uni- direction, i.e. heat can only travels one way from the heating segment to the cooling one, not in both ways; the use of heat pump explores possibilities ofthe development of geothermal energy of low temperature; the adopted circulating power generating system of low boiling point medium utilizes low-grade heat efficiently.

Example 82 [0866] The heat transfer element of this embodiment can be used in energy collecting system, particularly in the inorganic high heat transfer low temperature geothermal heating system. As FIG. 6J shows, the inorganic high heat transfer geothermal power generating system comprises heat well or hot spring 659, separate type inorganic high heat transfer afterheat heat exchanger 660, vaporizer 661, compressor 662, condenser 663, expansion pump 664, high hot water tank 665, nozzle 666, water pipe 667 and indoor heating system 668. The separate type inorganic high heat fransfer heat exchanger as described above serves as the core ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer low temperature geothermal heating system. It is mainly used to collect and transmit geothermal energy in the system. The apparatus achieves safe and reliable operation of distant thermal transmission, in which massive heat goes through an extremely small area without any extra driving force.

[0867] The source and sink ends in the separate type inorganic high heat transfer heat exchanger 660 are separated. One serves the heating end in the heating well or hot spring 659; the other is the cooling end in the vaporizer 652. The position ofthe apparatus is adjustable, depending on actual conditions on site. The lift pipe and lower pipe go between the heating and cooling ends, constructing a circular circuit. Heat in the heating well or hot spring travels continuously into vaporizer 661, which achieves distant thermal fransmission by heating water without any extra driving force. This exchanger also accomplishes safe and reliable operation and does not pollute water. The heat pump system is the circuit composed of vaporizer 661, condenser 663, compressor 662 and expansion pump 664. The warm water passing the heat pump is heated as it absorbs heat in vaporization and release heat in condensation in the process of circulation. The pump distributes heated water to users' heating and water system to meet their needs for heating and hot water.

[0868] The inorganic high heat fransfer low temperature geothermal heating system: efficient use of geothermal energy; environmental protection and reduction of energy consumption; the above described and shown heat transfer of inorganic high heat fransfer elements is uni-direction, i.e. heat can only travels one way from the heating segment to the cooling one, not in both ways; the use of heat pump explores possibilities ofthe development of geothermal energy of low temperature. Example 83 [0869] The heat transfer element of this embodiment is designed for the applications in energy collecting system, particularly in the inorganic high heat transfer rate solar construction heating system. The system is shown in FIG. 6K, comprising indoor heating system 669, solar energy collector 670, storage container 671, heat storage 672 and heat pump 673. Solar energy container 670 is the key equipment in the solar construction heating system. To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic high heat transfer elements, the collector should tilt in installation. In other words, the cooling section should be higher than the heating section on the other side as the whole solar collector forms a downward tilting angle roughly equivalent to the latitude in the local area.

[0870] The solar energy collector 670 can be either in pipes (as shown in FIG. 6L) or ofa slab-warping style (FIG. 6M). The solar collector tube in FIG. 6L comprises tube clip 674, inorganic eat fransfer tube 675, heating segment 676, plate heat collector 677, thermal insulating layer 678, base 679 and cooling segment 680. The slab-warping solar collector in FIG. 6M consists of thermal insulating layer 681, fin plate 682, partition 683, flange 684, cooling segment 685 and heating segment 686.

[0871] The outer surface ofthe heating segment ofthe solar energy collector 670 is coated with selected material. Alternatively, the inner surface is plated with gold to turn it into a reflex mirror. Then the heat travels from the cooling segment to the water in the container. When the heating segment is exposed to the sunlight, the coating or partition absorbs radiant heat from the sun and passes heat to the cooling segment via medium to heat water in the container. Hot water is transported and stored to heat container. The compressive heat pump may fransport heat to a user's heating system if there is a need. Indicators of scale and water temperature as well as automatic apparatuses that supply water, stop water supply and alarm low water level are all available on request of users' various needs for easy operation. [0872] Features ofthe solar collector tube in FIG. 6L are as follows: inorganic high heat transfer tubes and heat collecting plates are coated with a selected material to absorb solar radiant heat. Based on an L-type stracture, the plate heat collector absorbs the sunlight in the reflex area so that the energy collector can absorb almost all incident sunlight. The plate heat collector and the heat fransfer rate element are closely linked together. Solar energy is transported to the heated medium through the heat collector and heat fransfer rate element. [0873] Features ofthe solar collector ofa slab-warping style in FIG. 6M are as follows: the inorganic high heat transfer element is based on a slab-warping stracture. When the warped surface is exposed to the sunlight, which goes through the surface and the heated medium. This apparatus achieves small thermal resistance and excellent thermal efficiency.

[0874] The inorganic high heat fransfer solar construction heating system in this embodiment has the following advantages: efficient use of solar energy; environmental protection and reduction of energy consumption; high thermal efficiency, large storage and easy, flexible installation; the heat transfer of inorganic high heat fransfer elements is uni-direction, i.e. heat can only travels one way from the heating segment to the cooling one, not in both ways. Consequently, heat in the container does not go to the external environment via heat transfer elements when temperature outside is lower than that in the container. Inorganic high heat transfer medium works well in low temperature so it is not broken due to extremely low temperature in cold seasons. Each heat transfer element is independent and replacement does not affect the system, contributing to easy maintenance and long useful life. Heat is stored in the heat container so as to reduce temperature flux caused by changes in seasons and solar radiation. Congealment in containers in operation is well prevented. The thermal layer made of foam PU as integrated embodiment features good thermal insulation. Example 84 [0875] The present invention also provides an inorganic high heat transfer solar water heater for installing on the balcony, as shown in FIG. 6N. Vacuum glass tubes absorb solar energy, turning it into thermal energy. The energy is then transported to inorganic high heat transfer tube 675 through aluminum plates. After heated, the medium in the heated inorganic high heat transfer tube 675 rapidly transfers the heat to tap water 696 in the pipe and heats it up. The pipe is wrapped with thermal insulating layer 681 to avoid thermal losses. The heated water enters water reservoir 687 for future use.

Example 85 [0876] The present invention also provides a plate inorganic high heat fransfer solar water heater, as shown in FIG. 60. The water heater should tilt in installation. In other words, the cooling section should be higher than the heating section on the side exposed to sunlight so that the whole solar collector forms a downward tilting angle roughly equivalent to the latitude in the local area. [0877] The outer surface of heating segment 676 in the plate solar water heater is coated with the selected material. Alternatively, the inner surface is plated with gold to turn it into a reflex mirror. Cooling segment 680 is inserted into water in the container. When the heating segment 676 is exposed to the sunlight, coating or partition 683 absorbs radiant heat from the sun and passes heat to the cooling segment 680 via a medium to heat water in the container. The heated water circulates because of thermal gradient. Features ofthe solar collector plate are as follows: when fin plate 682 is exposed to the sunlight, heat goes to the heated medium through the fin plate. This apparatus achieves small thermal resistance and excellent thermal efficiency.

Example 86

[0878] The present invention further provides an inorganic high heat transfer medium heat storage device as shown in FIG. 6P. This device is composed ofa fin heat pipe 689, a plastic flange cover 690, a heat insulating sleeve 691, a heat flask 692, external walls 693, internal walls 694 and a heat storage medium 695. The heat pipe 689 with fins penefrates the plastic flange cover 690, to be inserted into the internal walls 694 ofthe heat flask 692. The plastic flange cover 690 is a part sealing the opening ofthe device and affixing the heat pipe. The heat insulating sleeve 691, which is made of plastic or fiber boards, is situated on the external walls 693 ofthe heat flask 692, which is made of fiberglass or ceramic material. The heat storage device is filled with medium 695. To store heat, the heat storage device is placed at wherever there is heat source (e.g. solar energy, afterheat, gas furnace, etc.). The fins ofthe heat pipe absorb heat, which heats the medium 695 in the heat flask via the heat pipe 689 with fins. The medium 695 in the internal wall 694 stores heat because of latent heat effect. The heat pipe 689 is removed from the sealed opening for later use. To obtain heat supply, the fin heat pipe 689 is inserted into the medium in the heat flask 695, where heat is directed out by the fin heat pipe 689. The repetitive procedures of heating, storage and heat release achieve heat storage and cutting energy consumption.

Example 87 [0879] The present invention further provides an inorganic high heat transfer plate solar energy water collector as shown in FIG. 6Q.

[0880] The heat receiving segment 625 ofthe solar energy apparatus serves as the heat receiving segment ofthe substance to be heated, which can be gas, liquid or solid. The device for heating air is referred to as an air heater that generates hot blast to serve as the heat source for family heating in winter or drying medium in indusfrial production. The device for heating water is referred to as a warm water exchanger, which produces warm water for bath, laundering and heating. The heat can also serve as a heat source in seawater distillation. In order to send heat quickly from the heat receiving segment to the substance to be heated, ribs may be applied to the surface ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipe provided on external walls ofthe heat receiving segment 625 according to various needs to enlarge the heat transfer area. Apart from this, the inorganic high heat fransfer element adopts a gravity-type structure without a tubular core so that it will stop operation when the temperature at the heating segment is lower than the cooling end at night or under weak sunlight to avoid heat losses caused by counter conduction. Hence, such a separate type inorganic high heat transfer solar energy collector plate allowing long distance heat conduction is capable of achieving almost the same thermal effect as an integrated type.

[0881] The following Examples 88 to 95 show applications ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to elecfrical machinery equipment, such as a high heat transfer air heater for an electric boiler, a high heat transfer heating reactor used in elecfrical heating, a high heat transfer steam heating reactor, a homogeneous temperature distribution epitaxial furnace, an elecfric water heating system, a high heat transfer PVC thermal sealer, a high heat transfer gas water boiler, and high heat fransfer gas burning water heater.

Example 88 [0882] The heat fransfer element ofthe present invention is applicable in electrical machinery equipment, particularly in an inorganic high heat transfer air heater for an electric boiler. The inorganic high heat fransfer air heater for an electric boiler as shown in FIG. 7 A comprises a port flange 701, an inorganic high heat transfer tube nest 702, a steam chamber 703, a casing 704, a dredger 705, a condenser liquid outlet 706, and a steam intake valve 707. The aforesaid inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest 702 is divided into two segments, one of which is a heat-absorbing end on the steam side and the other a heat-releasing end on the air side, aligned in a staggering way. The heat-absorbing segment ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest 702 is a bare pipe while there are fins on the heat-releasing segment. Steam is the heat source ofthe aforesaid inorganic high heat fransfer air heater for an elecfric boiler while air serves as its cooling source. The air heater comprises independent channels for air and steam. [0883] The inorganic high heat fransfer air heater for an electric boiler in this embodiment has the following advantages: the heat fransfer element has low internal pressure, high heat fransfer performance, allows quick operation, provides great maximal heat transfer capability, but generates no pollution. The other advantages include that, the heat fransfer process is significantly improved because ribs are attached to the air side, the approach of total counter flow heat exchange boosts logarithmic-mean temperature and pressure and achieves high heat fransfer rates. Applied to heating cold air in the boiler of a power station, the inorganic high heat transfer air heater for an elecfric boiler of this embodiment features simple structure, compactness, high heat exchange efficiency, and long lifespan. The inorganic high heat fransfer air heater for an electric boiler fully embodies an effective heat exchanging mode that conserves energy and reduces the fundamental energy consumption.

Example 89

[0884] The heat fransfer element ofthe present invention is applicable in electrical machinery equipment, particularly in an inorganic high heat fransfer heating reactor. In the process of some endothermic chemical reactions, more rigorous temperature confrol is required in various stages ofthe reactions. That is, the heat fransfer element should be sensitive and thermostatic in the process of temperature confrol. Based exactly on such a feature, the inorganic high heat fransfer heating reactor of this embodiment solves effectively the problem with temperature confrol in a precise chemical process.

[0885] The inorganic high heat fransfer heating reactor in FIG. 7B comprises a reactor vessel 708, an elecfric control box 709, a support 710, an electric heating system 711, inorganic high heat transfer pipes 712, reactor solvent 713, and, a cover 714. The heating system comprises the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 712 and the electric heating system 711. Strict requirement applies to temperature in various stages of precise chemical engineering. In a pre-configured program controlling reaction process, different control commands are applied to temperature confrol in various stages. Commands are sent via the electric control box709 to control the output power ofthe elecfric heating system 711. Heat in the elecfric heating system 711 travels homogenously to the reactor solvent 713 in the reactor vessel 708 to keep the temperature ofthe solvent within a certain range. Changes in temperature in various reaction stages are instantaneous. Thermal resistance in the heat transfer process found in the inorganic high heat transfer pipe can be disregarded since it is highly adjustable to sudden changes in temperature.

[0886] The electric heat inorganic high heat fransfer heating reactor of this embodiment has the following advantages: the sensible system is adjustable to rapid changes in temperature; the system produces good thermostatic effect and excellent temperature control; the heating mechanism of this system is very safe because of its independent control.

Example 90

[0887] The heat transfer element ofthe present invention is applicable in elecfrical machinery equipment, particularly in an inorganic high heat transfer steam heating reactor. The operational theory ofthe reactor of this embodiment is similar to that ofthe aforesaid inorganic high heat transfer electric thermal heating reactor.

[0888] The inorganic high heat fransfer heating reactor in FIG. 7C comprises a reactor vessel 715, a flow controller 716, a support 717, an elecfric heating system 718, a steam channel 719, inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 720, reactor solvent 721, and a cover 722. The heating system comprises the flow controller 716 and the steam channel 719.

[0889] Strict requirement applies to temperature in various stages of precise chemical engineering. In a pre-configured program controlling reaction process, different confrol commands are applied to temperature control-in various stages. Commands act on the flow controller 716 through a confrol system. When passing through the steam channel 719, steam fully exchanges heat with the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 720. Then heat fravels homogenously to the reactor solvent 721 in the reactor vessel 715 via the inorganic high heat transfer pipes 720 to keep the temperature ofthe solvent within a certain range. Changes in temperature in various reaction stages are instantaneous. Thermal resistance in the heat fransfer process found in the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes can be disregarded since it is highly adjustable to sudden changes in temperature. [0890] The advantages ofthe steam reactor of this embodiment are basically the same as those ofthe aforesaid inorganic high heat fransfer electric thermal heating reactor ofthe previous embodiment.

Example 91 [0891] This embodiment is a homogeneous temperature disfribution epitaxial furnace using the inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. [0892] As FIG 7D shows, the homogeneous temperature distribution epitaxial fumace of this present invention has a concentric-tube structure. Gaps between inner and outer tubes are filled with inorganic high heat transfer medium. To use the fumace, the furnace is placed in a heater to allow temperature distribution of high thermostatic accuracy in the epitaxial fumace.

[0893] The homogeneous temperature distribution epitaxial furnace of this present invention features high thermostatic accuracy, fast heating and easy operation.

Example 92 [0894] This embodiment is an electric water heating system using the inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention. [0895] The inorganic high heat fransfer elecfric water heating system of the present invention in FIG. 7E comprises an electric heater, and inorganic radiating flanges. The inorganic high heat transfer element of this embodiment has a tube-nest structure. The bottom ofthe nest is connected, similar to the tube sheet of conventional tube heat exchangers. Special coating may be applied to the surface ofthe tube nest to avoid incrustation, depending on the quality of water in the operation area. The water storage and the inorganic heat fransfer element are linked together with flanges to enhance ease of manufacture and maintenance. [0896] The water heating system ofthe present invention features quick operation, high heat transfer efficiency, simple structure and reliability.

Example 93

[0897] The heat transfer element of the present invention is applicable in elecfrical machinery equipment, particularly in an inorganic high heat fransfer PVC thermal sealer. The inorganic high heat transfer PVC thermal sealer in FIG. 7F comprises an upper heating seal 731, inorganic high heat transfer elements 732, an elecfric heater 733, plastic wrapping material 734, a thermal sealing face 735, and a lower heating seal 736. The core component ofthe PVC heating sealer of this embodiment is several inorganic high heat fransfer elements in the electric heater. These heat transfer elements are introduced to foster good thermostatic effect along the extended length of upper and lower heating seals. They also enlarge the thermal capacity ofthe heating seals to boost the strength of heat sealing. Apart from this, it is easy to control and modify the temperature of heating seals with this structure.

[0898] The inorganic high heat fransfer PVC thermal sealer of this embodiment has the advantages of allowing high heat sealing strength, a variety of applications, enhancing easy operation, and providing reliability.

Example 94

[0899] The heat transfer element ofthe present invention is applicable in elecfrical machinery equipment, particularly in an inorganic high heat transfer gas water boiler. As shown in FIGS. 7G and 7H, the vertical inorganic high heat fransfer gas water boiler comprises a boiler drum 737, a counter current flue 738, a furnace flask 739, a burner port 740, a hot water outlet 741, a counter current segment inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 742, radiating segment inorganic high heat transfer pipes 743, a smoke outlet 744, a water intake 745 and a fumace bottom 746. All these parts are welded together.

[0900] The operational theory ofthe fumace is stated as follows. The gas burner installed at the burner port 740 injects burning gas and air into the furnace chamber defined by the furnace flask 739, a bottom base ofthe counter current flue 738, the radiating segment inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 743 and the fumace bottom 746 for combustion to convert chemical energy of burning gas into thermal energy carried by hot smoke. Hot smoke fransfers part of heat to water in the boiler via the radiating segment inorganic high heat transfer pipe 743, the furnace flask739 and the bottom base ofthe counter flow flue 738. The hot smoke then enters the counter flow flue 738 after radiating heat exchange in the furnace flask. Heat is transmitted to water by means of counter flow via the counter current segment inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 742 and the wall ofthe counter flow wall 738 when smoke goes through the flue 738. Finally the smoke is discharged into the chimney via the smoke output 744.

[0901] The heat transfer process between the radiating segment inorganic high heat fransfer pipe 743 and the counter current segment inorganic high heat transfer pipe 742 is described as follows. Hot smoke fransfers heat to the outer surface of the inorgamc high heat fransfer pipes in the form of radiation or counter current while to the inner surface in the form of heat conduction. After receiving heat, temperature in the inner surface rises to stimulate the inorganic heat transfer medium inside the pipes. The inorganic heat transfer medium passes heat to the inner surface on the water side, which inner surface passes heat to the outer surface on the water side by means of heat conduction. The outer surface then fransfers heat to water through counter current.

[0902] Water enters the boiler from the water intake 745 at the bottom ofthe boiler and leaves through the hot water outlet after being heated. [0903] The inorganic high heat transfer gas water boiler can adopt a horizontal arrangement or any other structures.

[0904] The inorganic high heat transfer gas water boiler of this embodiment has the following advantages. Even if the pipe wall is cracked as cold and hot medium leaks, it is not necessary to stop the boiler for repairs; the boiler adopts a compact structure; the boiler is unlikely to be blocked by incrastation, which contributes to stable performance; and the boiler adopts a simple and stable water circulation. Example 95 [0905] The heat transfer element ofthe present invention is applicable in electrical machinery equipment, particularly in an inorganic high heat transfer gas water heater. The inorganic high heat transfer gas water heater in FIG. 71 comprises s chimney 747, a water tank748, inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 749, fins 750, a casing 751, a burner 752, a burning gas intake 753, a cold water intake 754 and a hot water outlet 755. The stracture ofthe water tank 748 is pressed and welded so it can sustain an operative pressure of 0.60Mpa. Fins 750 penefrate the high heat transfer pipes 749, which are expanded hydraulically or mechanically to ensure that the inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 749 and fins 750 are closely linked. Both ends ofthe inorganic high heat transfer pipes 749 are inserted into and welded to the water tank. The casing 751 is screwed to the water tank 748 and the burner 752 is fixed inside the casing.

[0906] The key point ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer water heater of this embodiment is that it uses inorganic high heat transfer elements as the heat exchange element between the smoke and water in the water heater. [0907] The operational theory ofthe water heater is stated as follows. The burner 752 equipped with automatic confrol and protecting devices converts chemical energy of fuel gas into thermal energy carried by hot smoke, which hot smoke flows through the heat transfer element composed ofthe inorgamc high heat transfer pipes 749 and fins 750 to pass heat to the outer surface ofthe heat fransfer element. Heat carried by smoke is absorbed by the outer surface and transferred to the inner surface ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer pipes 749. After receiving heat, temperature in the inner surface rises to stimulate the inorganic heat transfer medium inside the element. The inorganic heat fransfer medium transfers heat to the inner surface on the water side, which passes heat to the outer surface on the water side by means of heat conduction. The outer surface then transfers heat to water to be heated through counter current. This is the process of heat fransfer in the water heater. [0908] The present invention uses the inorganic high heat fransfer element as the heat exchange element ofthe water heater. Heat exchange between hot smoke and water takes place outside the heat exchange element. The volume ofthe water side is larger so that the area of water flow is not affected by incrastation produced in heat exchange. In addition, the heater features self-cleaning function since heat exchange of water takes place outside the element, which expands when being heated and shrinks when not in use. This ensures long-term high performance of heat exchange and the comfort ness of bath.

Heating Applications to Civil Engineering Facilities and Infrastructure [0909] The following Examples 96 to 99 show applications ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to civil engineering facilities or infrastructure, such as roadside heating system, runway heating system, solar pool heating system and blind pipe heater.

Example 96 [1000] Airports in cities in the North during winter tend to be covered by snow, which causes negative impact on the safety of aircraft takeoff and landing, automobiles and pedestrians and causes inconvenience in outdoor activities due to uneven and slippery road surface.

[1001] However, snow melting in winter usually involves a clear target, broad snow area, takes up a great amount of heat consumption with low heat fransfer efficiency. Snow melting is even less energy efficient if quality energy is used. Since it can be somewhat difficult to operate ordinary heating equipment, there have been problems with snow melting on the roadside that can hardly be solved in terms of either the structure ofthe equipment or proper use of energy. Methods of removing snow used for hundreds of thousands of years include exhausting manual snow shoveling, mechanical snow shoveling and natural melting. These methods require intensive labor, large energy consumption and rely heavily upon the intensity of sunlight and a rise in temperature, with relatively low possibility of human confrol of snow melting. [1002] It is generally understood that the temperature inside the earth rises with the depth. The temperature ofthe soil of more than 7m from the earth surface is almost constant around the year, with a rough, average annual temperature, usually between 10°C and 14°C. This is regarded as one ofthe reasonable green environmental-sensitive heat source used for melting snow. This embodiment takes advantage ofthe high heat fransfer performance ofthe high heat transfer element prepared in Example 2 to tackle problems with snow melting on the airport runway, high way and roadside. An application to be applied to an airport runway serves as an example for further explanation. [1003] According to FIG. 8 A, the runway heating system ofthe present invention comprises a heat collecting segment 801, a heat insulating segment 802 and a heat receiving segment 803 (i.e. the airport runway). The heat collecting segment 801 consists a source end ofthe high heat transfer heating element 807. The heat insulating segment 802 is composed of a transmitting end ofthe high heat transfer element 805 and an insulated thermal insulating layer 806 wrapped about the high heat fransfer element. The heat receiving segment 803 comprises a cooling end ofthe high heat fransfer element 804. [1004] The high heat transfer heating element 807 goes into soil 809 for 7 to 20m in depth to collect heat there. There is almost no heat loss when heat is transferred from the heat insulating segment 802 to the heat receiving segment 803 because ofthe quick heat fransfer enhanced by the high heat transfer element ofthe present invention and the heat insulating segment 806, for heating the runway to melt snow on the runway. Ribs 808 may be added to the source end 807 as a supplement since the heat fransfer coefficient between the soil and the high heat transfer element is comparably low such that it involves more difficulty in collecting heat. Similarly, ribs should also be added to the cooling end 804 to help melt the snow.

[1005] The snow melting system of this embodiment has the following advantages:

No fuel, no waste of resources while allowing continuous snow melting; No running parts, noise-free, simple structure, little investment and no need for maintenance;

Allowing long distance heat transfer with very few heat losses;

Cost-sensitive operation based on automatic snow melting instead of manual management;

Allowing self-locked to avoid heat losses caused by counter heat fransfer;

No air pollution and free from the impact ofthe weather.

Example 97 [1006] See FIG. 8B for the heating system of another embodiment ofthe present invention. It is basically the same with the aforesaid embodiment yet comprises mainly T-type high heat transfer elements 812. To make it more specific, several T-type high heat transfer elements 812 are buried in the soil 813. The vertical high heat transfer elements go under the earth for 7 to 20m in depth while the horizontal high heat fransfer elements are spread along the surface ofthe runway 810.

Example 98

[1007] The future development of community will be based on green concepts and environmental protection. One feature is pollution-free and regenerative energy used in daily life. Solar energy is exactly such a kind of energy. Appropriate developing and using solar energy brings not only considerable environmental benefit but also profit. However, presently available solar collectors have the shortcoming of poor heat exchange rates. This embodiment takes advantage ofthe high heat transfer performance ofthe high heat transfer element prepared in Example 2 to provide a solar pool heating system featuring high heat efficiency and ease of installation.

[1008] As FIG. 8C shows, the high heat transfer solar pool heating system comprises an indoor water supply system 814, a solar energy collector 815, a water storage tank 816, a circulating water pump 817 and a water storage 818. The solar energy collector 815 is a key part ofthe system. It comes either in pipe or plate style.

[1009] FIG. 8D (a) shows an explicit drawing of a pipe solar collector. The collector comprises a thermal insulating layer 819 and heat transfer pipes 822, both of which are linked together with a tube clip 825. Heat fransfer tubes 822 are each divided into a heating segment 820 and a cooling segment 821. The heating segment 820 is situated outside the water storage tank while the cooling segment 821 is plugged into water storage.

[1010] As FIG. 8D (b) shows, a plate heat collector comprises a thermal insulating layer 819, a fin plate 826, a partition 827 and a lug edge 828. Similar to FIG. 8D (a), it has a heating segment 820 and a cooling segment 821. [1011] The surface ofthe heating segment 820 is coated with the selected material. Alternatively, the inner surface is plated with gold to turn it into a reflex mirror. When the heating segment 820 is exposed to sunlight, the coating or partition absorbs radiant heat from the sun and fransfers heat to the cooling segment 821 via the medium to heat water in the water storage tank 816. The circulating water pump 817 sends hot water to the water storage 818. The water pump 817 may transport water to users' water supply system 814 if there is a need. Of course the heating system of this embodiment needs installing indicators of water level and water temperature as well as automatic apparatus that each supplies water, stops water supply and generates insufficient water alarm on request at the users' desire.

[1012] As shown in FIG. 8E, the collector should be tilted in installation to ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer elements. In other words, the cooling section on the waterside should be higher than the heating section located on the side exposed to sunlight.

[1013] The solar pool heating system of this embodiment has the following advantages:

More effective use of solar energy helps environmental protection and saves energy; The heat fransfer ofthe high heat fransfer elements is single- way, i.e. heat can only fravels one way from the heating segment to the cooling one, not in both ways. Consequently, heat in the water storage tank does not go to the external environment via heat transfer elements when temperature outside is lower than that in the water storage tank;

The inorganic high heat transfer medium works well in low temperature such that extremely low temperature in cold seasons does not result in fracturing;

Each heat fransfer element is independent and replacement of malfunctioned element does not affect the system, contributing to easy maintenance and long useful life; and

Heat is stored in the water storage tank so as to reduce temperature flux caused by changes in seasons and solar radiation, so as to effectively prevent congealment in the storage tank operated in winter.

Example 99 [1014] This embodiment provides a blind pipe heater adopting high heat transfer elements prepared in Example 2. In medium fransmission via plant pipes in cold seasons (or areas), the heat source surrounding the blind end (e.g. a pipe in which fluid is stored and static) is conducted into the cold (or freezing) blind end. By doing this, fluids can flow at the blind end and the normal production is assured.

[1015] FIGS. 8F and 8G show that the high heat transfer blind pipe heater of this embodiment comprises two sets of heat fransfer elements and heat transfer paste, which are linked together in arc circulation. According to the actual application, heat fransfer elements of befitting diameter and length are closely attached to the designed channel and bended to the static blind end. Next, the heat fransfer elements and the designed channel are fastened to the blind pipe with a heat fransfer paste. Finally the subassembly is fixed and totally wrapped by an external, thermal insulating material. Applications of Heating to Dehydrating Apparatus [1016] The following Examples 100 to 107 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to heating in dehydrating apparatus, such as a crude oil heater, an oil tank heater, a crude oil heater of an oil tank at the entrance ofthe oil well, a crade oil heater of an oil carrier, a vehicular oil tank heater, an inner heat exchange heater at the entrance ofthe oil well, an electric- thermal crade oil heating apparatus, an endothermic chemical reactor, a thermostatic bathtub, an oil pipe heating furnace, a chemical reactor vessel, a heater for heavy oil tanks, etc.

Example 100

[1017] Hot air of various temperatures and qualities need to be used to dry grains, food, vegetables, wood, tealeaves and chemical products. The hot air is usually supplied by being heated indirectly by low-pressure steam or directly by the hot air fumace. Regardless ofthe approaches being taken, the process of dehydration can be very long and complex since it requires apparatus combining drying boxes, hot air producing devices and auxiliary equipment. [1018] This embodiment produces hot air as dehydrating medium and dries material in one piece of apparatus at the same time by adopting high heat transfer elements prepared in Example 2.

[1019] As shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C, air supplied by a circulating ventilator 903 goes through a circulating air intake 906 and into a circulating air outlet pipe 904. The circulating air outlet pipe 904 is linked to several hot blast distributors 909 as the circulated wind goes into the distributors 909 via a circulate air intake 914. Linked to elecfric heater 913, a heat transfer element 910 is plugged into the hot blast distributors 909. There are several circulating hot blast holes 911 formed on the wall ofthe distributors. An electric heating controller 902 commands an electric heater 913 to heat the air. The heat transfer element 901 in the distributors 909 fransfers heat produced by the electric heater 913, which is controlled by the controller 902, to incoming the cold air to cause a rise in air temperature. Heated air is puffed to a drying box 907 through the hot blast holes 911. When material is carried by a conveyer 908 into the drying box 907 via the material intake 901, it is gradually dried by the hot air puffed from the hot blast distributors 909 thereabove and therebelow. The dehydrating process is finished when the material leaves from a material outlet 905. Used air is pumped by the ventilator 903 to be compressed, part of which air is discharged while the rest enters the air intake 906 for circulation. The recycling ofthe used air has two purposes; one of which is to confrol humidity in the drying box for proper dehydrating quality; the other is to conserve energy. [1020] This embodiment has the following advantages:

Simple dehydrating process, easy operation and confrol and low costs;

Low number of equipment, simple stracture, easy production and onetime investment;

No air pollution by smoke;

Little space is needed; and

Excellent heat transfer performance and heat efficiency.

Example 101

[1021] Hot air of various temperatures and qualities need to be used to dry grains, food, vegetables, wood, tealeaves and chemical products. The hot air is usually supplied by being heated indirectly by low-pressure steam. A module of boiler steam production apparatus is needed if there is no low-pressure steam supply. Heating air by steam produced by the boiler has a number of disadvantages. First, there is a need of a fully integrated boiler steam production apparatus, coupled with an air heater as auxiliary equipment. Secondly, the process takes a long time. Thirdly, operation ofthe compressed boiler requires complex technique. Fourthly, smoke may pollute air if coal is used as fuel. [1022] This embodiment combines an air heater and a gas hot air fumace based on the high heat transfer element prepared in Example 2 in place of hot blast production equipment in the boiler steam heating system. [1023] As FIG. 9D shows, when the required air temperature is low, e.g. 200°C, crude oil and combustion air comes in via a crade oil and air intake 920 is burned by a burner 921 in a combustion chamber 919, which is composed of fire- resistant bricks 922. A smoke returning fan 915 tunes the temperature of smoke produced by burning and sends it as a heat source to the lower part of an air heater 917. An air ventilator 916 sends air into the upper part ofthe air heater 917 as heat exchange between the smoke and air is enhanced by heat fransfer elements 923. Heated air becomes hot air of low temperature 918 and is sent to the drying box as medium of dehydrating material. It is the same as the blast used by most dryers to dehydrate food, vegetables and dried products. A chimney 924 is used to discharge part ofthe leaked smoke.

[1024] The structure ofthe hot air furnace is basically the same as shown in FIG. 9D when hotter air is demanded, e.g. higher than 250°C. The feature that distinguishes the two structures is that low-temperature air is not sent directly into the air heater 917. Instead, as FIG. 9E shows, hot air of low temperature 925 that is preliminarily heated is heated in the hot smoke segment until the temperature rises to the demanded value prior to entering the air heater 917. [1025] The stracture ofthe combustion chamber is reconstructed to ensure good heat transfer between smoke and airflows in the combustion chamber 919, to boost heat fransfer coefficient and to enlarge heat fransfer area. The thermal expansion characteristic of metal in the hot smoke segment is also taken into account. As FIG. 9F shows, the improved combustion chamber comprises a double counter current stracture. Hot air of low temperature 925 goes through the serpentine pipe and tube banks and smoke 927 goes through outside the aforesaid pipes. All the pipes and tubes are round with ribs thereon to produce hot air of high temperature 926.

[1026] When the hot air furnace is used in place of steam air heating system in the process of drying packed meal boxes to obtain vast blast, there is no source of scarce low-pressure steam produced by the boiler system for formed hubbing. Thus the aforesaid structure is improved, as FIG. 9G shows. Smoke produced by the burner 921 enters a steam dome 930 and exchanges heat with cold water entering from a water intake 929 to produce low-pressure steam or hot water 931. The temperature ofthe smoke is adjusted by a smoke returning ventilator 915 after heat exchange and sent as a heat source into the air heater 917. Air heated by heat fransfer elements 923 is discharged from a hot air outlet 928. [1027] Parts in the drawings ofthe aforesaid description that are identical are marked with same numbers, descriptions regarding with such parts are omitted. [1028] Although crude oil is used as fuel in this embodiment, gas or coal can also be used as an alternative.

Example 102 [1029] It is necessary to dry paper in paper processing industry. The existing paper dryer basically dries paper indirectly with thermal oil. The disadvantage of such a method is low heat transfer rate because the thermal oil is stickier and its quality is degrading with long-term circulation, leading to a smaller counter current coefficient. Further, the sealed structure of thermal oil circulating apparatus causes leakage easily. This embodiment uses the high heat transfer medium in Example 2 to achieve a paper dryer with good heat exchange performance, simple stracture and high reliability.

[1030] The inorganic high heat fransfer paper dryer of this embodiment in FIG. 9H comprises a cylinder 932, a cylinder cover 935 and swivels 936. A conical cavity is formed inside the cylinder 932. The cavity is filled with the high heat transfer medium 933. An electric heater 935 is installed on an end ofthe cavity.

[1031] After the electric heater 935 is powered on, one end ofthe cylinder 932 near the heater is heated. Then high heat transfer medium 933 in the cavity rapidly fransfers heat the other end. When the cylinder 932 rotates, the high heat fransfer medium 933 flows back to the source end due to centrifugal force. [1032] The stracture of this embodiment has the following advantages: High heat transfer rates and easy temperature adjustment; The cylinder does not bear static pressure ofthe thermal oil such that there is no need for reinforcing punched openings;

No need for a thermal oil circulating apparatus.

Example 103 [1033] It is necessary to dry pencil wood case in the process of pencil making. Wood is basically dried in a kiln in present pencil plants. The disadvantage of such a method is that it is hard to control the moisture rate of wood due to large temperature gradient and low heat efficiency in the kiln. This embodiment uses the high heat fransfer medium in Example 2 to achieve a pencil wood case dryer with good heat exchange performance, simple stracture and high reliability. [1034] As FIGS. 91 and 9J show, hot smoke produced by a burner 942 and in a combustion chamber 941 is directed into the lower part of a pipe box 939. A ventilator 940 directs air into the lower part ofthe pipe box 939. Air and hot smoke exchanges heat through high heat fransfer pipes 938 in the pipe box 939 to produce hot air for drying wood located on a wood conveyer 943. Used air is discharged from a chimney 937.

[1035] The wood case dryer of this embodiment adjusts dehydration by controlling temperature and wind speed while featuring high heat efficiency.

Example 104 [1036] Dehydration is an extremely essential step in wood production, in which adequate hot air is needed. This embodiment provides sufficient hot air by adopting high heat transfer elements prepared in Example 2. [1037] As FIG. 9K shows, the dehydrating apparatus of this embodiment comprises a furnace 944, a heat exchanger 945 and a drying box 947. Hot smoke in the furnace 944 goes into the heat exchanger via pipes. The heat exchanger 945 includes two channels are disconnected. Smoke and air that goes into the heat exchanger 945 from its lower part flows through the channels and exchanges heat through the high heat fransfer elements 946 therein for heating the air. Three tube sheets fix the high heat transfer elements 946 and a steel board is provided on one side. The high heat transfer elements 946 and tube sheet are sealed with lug edges therebetween to ensure that cold and hot flows do not leak to each other. Fins are installed on both source and sink ends ofthe heat transfer elements 946. The number of and distance between the fins are adjustable so as to avoid dew-point corrosion by controlling the temperature of hot air and smoke intake. [1038] The dust remover and chimney discharge cooled smoke. Heated air enters the drying box 947 via the pipe when it reaches the required temperature. A wood conveyer is in the lower part ofthe drying box. Wood is placed on the conveyer and enters the drying box 947 in the counter direction against the hot airflow. Moisture in the wood vaporizes after being heated and is discharged from the drying box along with the air. Dehydrated wood is available at the wood outlet.

[1039] Coal, oil or gas can be used as the fuel ofthe fumace. Other afterheat in industrial production can also be used.

Example 105 [1040] Hot blast of higher temperature is needed in spray dehydration, which is often used to produce many powdery products. Powdery material should not be contaminated by pollutants if the color ofthe powdery products is rigorously demanded. Smoke produced by burning coal generally serves a heat source in spray dehydration. This will become a problem in areas where there is no coal resource or such a fuel is very expensive. Other heat sources such as liquefied gas or fuel oil will affect the color of products by polluting them. Heating air by heat exchange fails to meet the requirement due to low heat efficiency and low temperature at the heat source of ordinary heat exchangers configured to of plate, tube banks or fin plate. This embodiment provides sufficient heat sources for spray dehydration by adopting high heat transfer element prepared in Example 2. [1041] As FIG. 9L shows, the spraying dryer of this embodiment comprises a furnace 948, a heat exchanger 949 and a sprayer tower 950. Hot smoke in the furnace 948 goes into the heat exchanger 949 via pipes. The heat exchanger 949 includes two channels that are disconnected. Smoke and air that goes into the heat exchanger 949 from its lower part flows through the channels and exchanges heat through the high heat transfer elements 951 therein for heating the air. Hot air of high temperature enters the sprayer tower 950.

[1042] Three tube sheets fix the high heat transfer elements 951 and a steel board is provided on one side. The high heat fransfer elements 951 and tube sheet are sealed with lug edges therebetween to ensure that cold and hot flows do not leak to each other. Fins are installed on both source and sink ends ofthe heat transfer elements 951.. The number of and distance between the fins are adjustable so as to avoid dew-point corrosion by controlling the temperature of hot air and smoke intake.

[1043] The spraying dryer of this embodiment may use coal instead of gas as fuel to save costs and avoid affecting the color of products.

Example 106 [1044] The products of many plants of calcium carbonate and relevant products are in powdered form. The last step is dehydration to dehydrate the material. Turret dryers, also known as rotary kilns, are used for dehydration. Since hot smoke is not allowed to exchange heat with material through direct contact, material in the dryer must be heated by the smoke from outside. In fraditional heating approach, smoke goes by the casing ofthe rotary kiln to fransfer heat to the material inside. Such an approach shows a series of problems in operation such as: (1) material is heated unequally since the temperature of smoke drops sharply from one side ofthe rotary kiln to another, i.e., from 1000°C to 200-300°C. Unequal heating causes difference in temperature on the surface ofthe kiln, affecting the dehydration performance of material and productive capacity. (2) Smoke in the high temperature side is too hot so the metal casing ofthe kiln tends to be burned. The high temperature also causes corrosion, which shortens the useful life ofthe kiln to a great extent. (3) Low energy efficiency due to the gap between the fumace ofthe rotary kiln and the fixed thermal insulating layer in the high temperature side is too huge, thereby causing severe heat losses. In the low temperature side, soot can hardly be removed so it affects heat transfer and causes problems of low heat efficiency and environmental pollution.

[1045] This embodiment applies the high heat transfer medium in Example 2 to the rotary kiln to improve present drying equipment and tackle the aforesaid drawbacks.

[1046] The inorganic high heat transfer dryer of this embodiment in FIGS. 9M and 9N is a gigantic and low-speed rotary kiln. The kiln consists of a cooling segment 954 and a heating segment 952, supported by rotary supports 956 during rotation. A smoke heating part is arranged in the heating segment, comprising a smoke intake 957 and a smoke outlet 953. There is a crevice formed between the segment and the heat fransfer element 963, through which crevice the smoke 962 goes for heating material flowing through the rotary kiln to dehydrate the material. Rotary fins 959 are welded to the heating surface ofthe high heat transfer element 963 to enhance heat exchange on the smoke side. The smoke channel is enveloped with a thermal insulating layer 961 to minimize heat losses when smoke goes through the heating segment 952.

[1047] The heating segment 952 should not be too short with a length being approximately 30% of the total length ofthe heat fransfer element. The axle of the heat fransfer element should form an angle of 2° with respect to the horizon to ensure the reflux ofthe condenser liquid on the rotary surface. Liquid distributors 960 are welded to the vaporizing surface ofthe heat fransfer heating segment to make sure that the vaporizing surface is covered by a liquid film. The condensing surface has been specially freated to be expendable so that there is more space for condensation of steam and that more heating surface is in contact with the rotary powdery material in rotation.

[1048] The smoke channel in the heating segment keeps rotary and static parts sealed. Both soot removal and access ports are installed. Example 107 [1049] This embodiment provides a high heat transfer hot blast dryer combining the hot air furnace and the drying box ofthe previous embodiments. As FIG. 90 shows, hot blast produced in an air heater 965 is conducted by pipes into a material dryer 966. The description of other parts is omitted by referring to the two aforesaid embodiments for more information.

Applications of Heating to Chemical Engineering Apparatus [1050] The following Examples 108 to 118 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to heating in chemical engineering apparatus, such as a crude oil heater, an oil tank heater, a crade oil heater of an oil tank at the entrance ofthe oil well, crade oil heater of oil carrier, a vehicular oil tank heater, an inner heat exchange heater at the entrance ofthe oil well, an electric-thermal crude oil heating apparatus, an endothermic chemical reactor, a thermostatic bathtub, an oil pipe heating furnace, a chemical reactor vessel, a heater for heavy oil tanks, etc.

Example 108 [1051] Oil containers, crade oil in pipes or other oil material is often heated during storage and transport to meet the respective technical, operative requirements. Heat can be quickly fransported to these products by adopting the high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention or heat transfer elements prepared according to the present invention to avoid exceeding temperature in a localized area. Hence, using the heat fransfer ofthe present invention to heat oil products saves energy and allows safe production. [1052] This embodiment is a kind of apparatus that heats crude oil in the crude oil fransport pipe. Adopting the heat fransfer elements as described in Example 2, the apparatus enhances high performance heat exchange in the heating process. [1053] FIG. 10A is a schematic drawing ofthe apparatus, in which 1001 represents a crude oil pipe, 1002 represents a high heat fransfer pipe ofthe crude oil fransport pipe heating apparatus, 1003 represents a lug port, and 1004 represents an elecfric heater.

[1054] The workflow of this embodiment is described as follows. When the elecfric heater 1004 is in operation, the high heat transfer pipe in the heater fransfers heat to the high heat transfer pipe outside the crade oil pipe. The high heat transfer pipe then releases heat to the crude oil to increase its temperature. [1055] Currently crude oil heaters adopt water jacket furnaces or an electric heating zone. These devices have the following drawbacks: complex boiler construction and resulting in numerous weld seams; low heat fransfer rate; long starting time causing gross heat losses when there is no operation; the elecfric heating zone easily fails but hard to repair. Compared to present technology, the crude oil pipe heater of this embodiment has the following advantages:

Compact structure: it is linked to the crude oil pipe so the whole process is thermostatic and well heated;

Easy installation: the connection is the same with ordinary piping so there is no need for updating the existing arrangement;

High heat efficiency: the heat fransfer thermal resistance is basically null so that heat conversion rates can be maximized;

Easy operation: the heater is easy to use since temperature configuration and overheating protection devices are available;

Safe operation: the elecfric heater is absolutely separated from the crude oil. Heat exchange is achieved through the heat fransfer medium so defects found in combustion ofthe crude oil caused by electricity are eliminated.

[1056] This embodiment is especially suitable for transporting and heating crude oil in the oil field. The manufacture and operation cost is less than water jacket furnaces while taking less area at the same. Example 109

[1057] This embodiment is an oil tank apparatus heater adopting the high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. It comprises the high heat fransfer element, a tube sheet 1014 and a pipe box 1012.

[1058] To ensure proper operation ofthe heater, the tube nest of high heat fransfer element 1013 should be tilted in installation. In other words, the tube nest at the inner side ofthe oil tank should be higher than that at the outer side. When the tube nest is normal to the tube sheet 1014, the pipe should slope downward to ensure that the whole tube nest forms a certain angle with horizon, as shown in FIG. 10B.

[1059] After its source end absorbs heat from heat medium, the high heat transfer element 1013 fransfers heat to the sink end ofthe high heat fransfer element 1013 for heating oil in the tank. The pipe is welded to the tube sheet 1014, which is linked to pipe box 1012 with lugs, so that the whole tube nest can be removed in installation and dismounting. A track support 1011 is installed in the oil tank for easy installation. The size as shown in FIG. 10B should be determined according to the actual design conditions.

[1060] Most of present oil tank heaters are arranged in banks of light tubes, or polygon serial mode. The source of heating mainly lies in steam. The main drawback of these heaters is leakage at lugs and weld joints at connections. Causes of leakage include quality of weld joints, water hammering, steam decay, corrosion, etc. Leakages in the heater have a direct impact on the use and operation ofthe oil tank. Maintenance and cleaning also lead to unnecessary waste. It is hoped that the structure and design ofthe heater can be designed to make improvements so as to extend the useful life and maintenance cycle. The heater of this embodiment features high heat transfer, safety and high reliability. Compared to current oil tank heaters, the hater of this invention has the following advantages: Fin tube nests can be arranged, so as to feature high heat transfer, safety and reliability;

Leakages caused by water hammering, steam decay and high temperature corrosion can be eliminated;

The heater can operate even though leakage is found in a single heat transfer element leaks, thereby extending the useful life and maintenance cycle of the oil tank.

[1061] It is necessary to maintain and clean the damaged oil tank, leading to a waste of manpower and resources. The value of this embodiment lies in extending the maintenance cycle and reducing operation and management costs.

Example 110 [1062] This embodiment is proposed to tackle the problem with loading/unloading crude oil in low temperature in distant oil wells or oil mining stations in industrial and residential areas so as demanded by the oil field. [1063] This embodiment uses the high heat transfer element as described in Example 2 to enhance easy crude oil loading/unloading by transferring heat produced by electricity, gas, fuel oil or steam to heat crude oil to reduce stickiness ofthe crude oil.

[1064] As FIG. 10C shows, the crade oil heater of an oil unloading tank at the entrance ofthe oil well of this embodiment comprises a heat source 1036 being a heater, a high heat fransfer pipe, a fix lug 1033 and a thermometer 1034. The high heat fransfer pipe consists of a source end pipe 1035, a sink end pipe 1032 and fins 1031. To ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic heat fransfer pipe, the sink end pipe 1032 ofthe high heat fransfer element forms an angle of 10° in relation with the horizon. The source end pipe 1035 is connected to the heat source while the sink end pipe 1032 is plugged into the heated crade oil, and fixed by the fixed lugs welded on the high heat transfer element to the unloading tank at the enfrance ofthe well.

[1065] The source end pipe 1035 in the heat source 1036 ofthe heater transfers heat gained from the heat source to the sink end pipe 1032. Heat is then released to the crude oil through the pipe wall and fins 1031 to increase the temperature ofthe crade oil.

[1066] The crude oil heater of the oil-unloading tank at the entrance of the oil well or oil station of this embodiment has tl e following advantages:

Flexible choice of heat sources, suitable for occasions of vigorous working conditions such as oil mining stations and oil wells in oil fields;

Adopts ordinary lug connection for easy installation and replacement;

The thermal resistance ofthe high heat fransfer pipe is almost null, featuring high heat efficiency;

The heat source is absolutely separated from the crude oil so as to eliminate the common pollution to crude oil or combustion ofthe crude oil caused by accidental ignition.

Example 111 [1067] This embodiment is designed for heating highly sticky liquid such as crude oil in the process of loading/unloading and transport. [1068] Steam and electricity is used as fraditional approaches to heat onboard oil cans. Jacket steam heating has been gradually replaced by elecfric heating since due to its difficulty in obtaining the heat source in jacket steam heating and due to the large effective storage space required by the jacket. However, electric heating causes much inconvenience in installation and operation due to numerous concerns and safety hazards that need to be considered in operation and production.

[1069] This embodiment uses the high heat transfer element of Example 2 to prepare a high heat fransfer pipe crude oil heater, which solves the technical problem by effectively separating oil from electricity.

[1070] FIG. 10D shows the onboard oil can ofthe crude oil heater according to the present invention, comprising an oil carrier 1041, a connecting pipe 1042, fixed lugs 1043, a heating device 1044, a power supply 1045, and a switch 1046. FIG. 10E shows the high heat transfer pipe crude oil heater. The heater comprises heat fransfer elements 1051, a tube sheet 1052, magnesium oxide 1053, a thermal insulating layer 1054 and casing element 1055. After being powered on, resistance wire produces vast heat, which is sent by magnesium oxide to the high heat fransfer element 1051. According to the heat transfer function featured by the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention, heat is efficiently transferred to the crude oil in the can. The operational theory above shows that electrical energy is transported through the high heat fransfer element. The resistance wire is not in direct contact with oil products to avoid fire hazards occurred when the surface temperature ofthe heating element in low oil level is high than the flash point of oil.

[1071] The electric crude oil heater in FIG. 10E tackles the following problems of conventional heaters ofthe same category including strict demands for operational voltage and environmental humidity, high tendency of soot accumulation on the heating surface, reduction of heat efficiency due to soot, and surface temperature ofthe heating element being higher than the flash point of oil when the oil level is lower than the heater. This embodiment can replace existing electric crude oil heaters and steam heaters for it has the following advantages:

Safety and reliability since oil is completely separated from electricity;

High heat transfer efficiency, quick starting, little space required for installation, and easy and flexible installation;

Independent operation of each heat fransfer element such that replacement ofthe damaged element does not affect the system, contributing to easy maintenance and long useful life.

[1072] This embodiment is a kind of apparatus that heats vehicular oil tanks. Adopting the high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention, this apparatus boosts heat exchange rates in the process of heating the vehicular oil tank. [1073] Sometimes it is necessary to heat oil during the transportation of crade oil and heavy oil to prevent oil from getting sticker and less fluidic. The current approach to heating vehicular oil tanks basically adopts coil steam tubes, which are installed in the tank. The drawback of this approach is unequal heating and inability to heat oil during transportation due to the limited supply steam sources. [1074] The heater in FIG. 1 OF applies a heat transfer element to heat crude oil or oil material in the oil tank. FIG. 10G is a sectional drawing ofthe oil tank as described. The heater comprises an elecfric heater 1061, a high heat transfer element 1062, and mineral oil heat carrier 1064. the mineral oil heat carrier 1064 is installed into the jacket outside the casing ofthe oil tank. The heat-releasing end ofthe tubular high heat transfer element 1062 is soaked in mineral oil heat carrier while the source end is placed out of the jacket. After the electric heater 1061 is powered on, the source end ofthe high heat fransfer element 1062 is heated. Then heat is quickly fransferred to the heat-releasing end. The mineral oil heat carrier 1064 in the jacket is heated and then heats oil in the tank by releasing to the oil in the tank. The temperature of heating is easily adjusted by changing the wattage of elecfric heating. This heating method has the following advantages: even heating temperature; high heat fransfer rates; easy temperature adjustment; and ability of heating oil in transportation.

Example 113

[1075] Present heaters at the enfrance ofthe oil well tend to be blocked by sand, causing blockage to pipes and risks of explosion. Current heaters also waste resources due to its large size.

[1076] This embodiment furnishes an inner heat exchange well heater to solve the problem with sand blockage. The heater has the following advantages: elimination of coke in the crude oil; high heat fransfer rates up to 90%; compact structure; small size; little material consumption; and reduction of costs.

[1077] As FIG. 10H shows, the inner heat exchange well heater ofthe present invention comprises a high heat fransfer vaporizing segment, an inner heat exchange cavity, a high heat transfer diluted heat exchanger, a dense oil heat exchanger, and an oil-preheating heat exchanger.

[1078] The high heat transfer vaporizing segment is made by welding the inner cylinder 1065, the bottom of which being configured to an S-shaped bottom loop, to a lower seal 1066. The vaporizing segment is also linked to numerous curved distilling pipes 1067 to form a furnace flask. The bottom of the high heat transfer cylinder 1068 is welded to the S-shaped bottom loop at the bottom ofthe inner cylinder 1065, while the top ofthe high heat transfer cylinder is welded to an upper seal 1072. The bottom of bellows 1071 is welded to the lower seal 1066, and the top ofthe bellows is welded to the upper seal 1072, to construct an inner heat exchange cavity combining the high heat fransfer segment having an inner flue and a condensing segment. A diluted heat exchanger 1070 with a set of multiple coil tubes is installed in the upper part ofthe high heat transfer cavity. A dense heat exchanger 1069 with a set of multiple coil tubes is installed in the middle part ofthe cavity. A deflecting ball 1073 and a set of coil tube 1074 are installed in the upper part ofthe high heat transfer cavity. The top ofthe coil tube 1074 serves as a dense oil intake while the bottom ofthe tube is linked to the upper sphere ofthe deflecting ball 1073 by welding; the lower sphere ofthe deflecting ball 1073 is connected to the upper port ofthe dense oil heat exchanger 1069 with a linking pipe 1078 by welding, so as to form a hot smoke layer of an integrated oil pre-heating heat exchanger. The lower port ofthe dense oil heat exchanger 1069 serves as an outlet. The diluted oil heat exchanger 1070 has an intake and outlet. The hot smoke cavity comprises an outer seal 1076 and an outer cylinder 1077, which are linked together. One side ofthe hot smoke cavity is linked and welded to an outer flue 1075. A thermal insulating layer and an outer casing is located on the outer side ofthe outer cylinder. A base 1079 is installed at the bottom.

[1079] In operation, diluted oil goes into via the intake ofthe diluted oil exchanger and is heated to the preset temperature. Then the oil is sent underground to mix with and dilute extra dense oil. The diluted crade oil mixture is fransported by an oil extractor from underground to the coil tube heater intake and the deflecting ball 1073 via the coil tube 1074 ofthe preheated heat exchanger. The crade oil goes into the dense oil heat exchanger 1069 via the linking pipe 1078 and eventually goes into the piping network via the oil outlet after it is heated to the preset temperature.

Example 114 [1080] When crude oil is being extracted from an oil field, the extracted oil should be fransported from the wells to the storage tanks through pipes. The oil is then collectively dehydrated and sent to the refinery. Distance between the wells and the storage tanks can be tens or hundreds of meters, causing difficulty in fransmission due to stickiness of crude oil, oil cooling resulting from gross heat losses in piping, de-wax and congealment. Such problems are particularly critical in transmitting oil in winter or freezing areas, forcing oil fields all over the to take the following measures to tackle the problems:

[1081] Adding additives or pouring hot water or steam into crude oil to make it less sticky.

[1082] Heating crude oil indirectly in a water jacket fumace using gas, coal, quench or heavy oil as heat sources. Crade oil is not transmitted until being heated to a certain temperature high enough to make up for heat losses. The water jacket furnace is the main equipment of crade oil heating at oil wells since it can work continuously and stably. To install and operate the fumace, however, there is a need for water and gas sources. Further, there must be someone caring for flames but the working conditions ofthe workers are harsh and the workload of maintenance can be heavy. In addition, the heater causes a waste of resources and air pollution since some useful ingredient in fuel is not recycled after combustion. [1083] Heating crude oil with electricity by surrounding the pipes with the electric heating zones so that heat is continuously delivered to crude oil as it is being fransported. Such an approach needs few costs and is very cheap in terms of construction so that it was rather popular several years ago. However, it has been seldom used recently due to the following reasons: the heating subject has small heat flux density; large heating area; the electric heating zones have short useful life and involves difficulty in inspection, maintenance and replacement since it is buried with pipes under the ground;. [1084] Hence there has not been any method that is simple, easy, convenient to maintain, cheap and environment-friendly so far in terms of crade oil heating. Many enterprises have been frying to tackle this problem for years. [1085] This embodiment provides a high heat fransfer electric crude oil heater, which comprises a jacket type heat transfer pipe element 1083, an electric heater 1082 and an intelligent temperature controller 1084. [1086] The j acket type heat transfer pipe element 1083 features high heat transfer capability, good thermostatic effect and outstanding compatibility. It is coupled with an electric heating device as heat transfer medium between the electric heating source and oil to solve the aforesaid problems such as difficulty in heat transfer and maintenance.

[1087] As shown in FIG. 101, the stracture of the jacket type heat transfer pipe element is composed of an inner and outer straight carbon steel pipes that are welded and envelop each other, namely an inner jacket pipe 1080 and outer an j acket pipe 1081.

[1088] Differences between heat sources provided by electric heating apparatus and heating apparatus of other types, such that the operation temperature affect directly the useful life ofthe heating device. The reliability of temperature confrol in this apparatus is correlated with the stability and safety of the whole module when it is coupled with the heat fransfer element. Hence this heating apparatus may be selectively equipped with a high performance intelligent temperature controller.

[1089] The high heat transfer crude oil heating apparatus ofthe present invention does not rely only upon the elecfric heating device and the jacket type heat fransfer pipe element to work stably, the temperature controller should not be ignored. Only when the three parts comply with each other and work together can the whole apparatus operate safely. As FIG. 10J shows, the high heat transfer elecfric crude heater ofthe present invention comprises an electric heater 1082, a jacket type heat fransfer element 1083 and an intelligent temperature controller 1084. [1090] As shown in FIG. 10J, the working principle ofthe whole apparatus is described as follows: after the electric heater on the outside wall of the jacket type heat transfer pipe element is powered and heated, it first heats the medium in the heat transfer element first through the wall at the bottom ofthe element. Heated medium fransfers heat by distributing it rapidly to the cavity of the jacket tube so that the temperature ofthe whole tube rises. When crade oil keeps coming in from the jacket tube, heat is sent to the crade oil flowing via the inner tube wall of the jacket. Thus, the crude oil flowing out ofthe other side ofthe jacket is warmed by absorbing heat. That is, the heating process is completed when the crude oil goes through the jacket tube of higher temperature in normal fransmission. The installation ofthe heating apparatus does not change existing crude oil transporting process so the resistance in the piping system will not be increased.

[1091] The jacket type heat transfer pipe element can be arranged on the top ofthe crude oil pipe to ensure the reliability ofthe complete heating apparatus. A port for checking temperature is installed at the outlet ofthe apparatus to achieve chain confrol between the elecfric heater and the water temperature at the outlet by the temperature controller. The temperature controller calculates by comparing the feedback and setting values so as to promptly and automatically control the heating rate ofthe electronic heater. This is to prevent the crade oil from being overheated in the heating process.

[1092] The heating capacity of this apparatus is 25kw. The apparatus can automatically confrol the heating ofthe pipes and the temperature during operation after the user simply sets the temperature ofthe output crade oil according to the flow rate ofthe crade oil, intake temperature and target heating capacity.

[1093] The crade oil heating apparatus ofthe present invention is a heating system in the oil field using electricity as the heat source. As compared with traditional water jacket furnaces and electric heating zone crude oil heating process, the apparatus ofthe present invention has the following features: Small size, simple stracture and suitable for crude oil pipe heating in the wells of oil fields;

Easy to install without changing the existing transporting process of existing medium and without increasing the resistance in the existing piping system;

Changing the heating area can solve the problems of coke in oil in elecfric heating caused by centralized heating area, overheat in partial area and unequal thermal disfribution;

It also solves the problems of low heat fransfer coefficient and insufficient heat exchange area for the oil products;

Solving the problems ofthe elecfric heater, such as short service life and inconvenience in maintenance and replacement;

Highly automatic operation since the remote electric fransmission of the intelligent instrument achieves remote monitoring ofthe heating apparatus and avoids complicated on-site operation;

The output power is adjustable for heating as required in different seasons.

[1094] A computer can be connected to several temperature controllers to boost working efficiency, reduce labor and promote the accuracy of temperature confrol.

[1095] Devices ofthe apparatus are well arranged, stable and cheap so the apparatus is suitable for small-capacity well heating.

[1096] The crade heating apparatus ofthe present invention has a promising future because it can replace conventional gas-firing or oil-firing water jacket furnaces in oil field.

[1097] Various heating power and structures of the crude oil heating apparatus ofthe present invention can be selected according to the parameters such as the distance from the well, geographic location, quality ofthe oil and required heating capacity. The settings can be arranged in a series of options for users. Applications in other similar occasions may also refer to the present invention. Example 115 [1098] This embodiment shows a new endothermic chemical reactor. FIG. 10K shows the stracture of an endothermic chemical reactor ofthe present intention. The reactor described comprises a material intake 1085, a heat transfer element 1086 made ofthe heat transfer medium ofthe present invention with fins 1087, a catalyst bed 1088, a raw material outlet 1089 and a heater 1090. The heat transfer element 1086 transfers the heat required in reaction to the catalyst bed 1088. There are longitudinal fins 1087 outside the heat transfer element 1086 in the catalyst bed 1088. The purpose is to increase the heat fransfer area where the heat transfer element supplies the heat to the catalyst. The larger the area is, the smaller the temperature gradient between the heat fransfer element and the catalyst. In addition, the heat fransfer element has excellent axial temperature uniformity so it reduces the temperature gradient on the radial catalyst layer inside the reactor to promote conversion rate and reaction capacity. [1099] It is well known that heat from the environment should be continuously supplied to the reactor to maintain the temperature required in the endothermic reaction. Most fraditional endothermic chemical reactors use the heat exchangers with pipe banks. These reactors have larger temperature gradient between the longitudinal and axial directions ofthe catalyst bed, causing low conversion rates and reaction capacity. On the contrary, the reactor ofthe present invention can ensure that the temperature uniformity along the longitudinal direction ofthe catalyst bed ofthe reactor to enhance the conversion rate and reaction capacity.

Example 116 [1100] Thermostatic bathtubs are widely used in engineering as a kind of thermostatic apparatus. Existing thermostatic approaches are circulating circuit structure using water or oil. On the one hand, such a stracture has low heating efficiency and the temperature thereof tends to fluctuate. On the other hand, water or oil incrastation is produced on the surface ofthe heat exchanger ofthe boiler and water and oil in the bathtub tends to cool down when the combustion in the boiler stops.

[1101] As FIG. 10L shows, this embodiment is a new thermostatic bathtub. The bathtub comprises a boiler 1091, a heat transfer element 1092 made ofthe heat transfer medium ofthe present invention and an oil bathtub 1094 filled with silicon oil 1093. Compared with present bathtubs, the high heat fransfer thermostatic bathtub ofthe present invention replaces the circulating circuit with the heat transfer element 1092 to separate the heating part in the bathtub from the burning part in the boiler. Heat transfer element 1092 transports the heat produced by combustion in the boiler 1091 to the bathtub 1094 to increase the temperature ofthe water or oil in the bathtub and keep it steady. By doing this, there will be no water or oil incrustation attached on the surface ofthe heat exchanger on the boiler. In addition the water or oil in the bathtub does not cool down very easily after the boiler stops burning since the heat transfer element transfers heat in one direction.

Example 117 [1102] Existing heating furnaces in pipe transmission of crude oil have disadvantages such as low heating efficiency, high daily operation costs and unsatisfactory safety and reliability such that long-term production can hardly be ensured. This embodiment concerns a kind of high performance, safe, long-term and stable concept for the crade oil heater. The key point ofthe present invention is to directly fransport the radiation heat in the furnace chamber to the oil pipe by the heat transfer element ofthe present invention to increase the temperature of crude oil during transmission.

[1103] As shown in FIG. 10M and ION, the heater ofthe present invention comprises a radiation room 1096, a counter current room 1097, a heat recovery crude oil heating pipe and chimney 1099. The radiation room includes a burner 1095 and a heat transfer element 1098. One side ofthe element fransfers the heat in the radiation room to the heating pipe on the other side to heat the crude oil. After absorbing the heat, the temperature ofthe crude oil reaches the desired application value for transmission. To ensure the normal operation ofthe heat transfer element, the crude oil pipe is installed above the radiation room. [1104] The working process ofthe invention is: the heat transfer element in the radiation room in the crade oil heater raises the temperature ofthe crude oil for fransmission by rapidly transferring the heat to the oil pipe. [1105] Radiation heat in the heater, heat in the counter current room and afterheat produced by smoke can be sufficiently utilized by the design ofthe present invention. The process of heating is effectively controlled to reduce costs and increase profit. The heating measures ofthe heater merely depend upon the temperature gradient between both ends ofthe element.

Example 118 [1106] Reactor vessels with mixers are often used in the medical, food, petroleum and chemical industries. Heat caused by chemical reaction is always transferred in and out ofthe vessel. Routine reaction heat is fransported by sleeves or auxiliary tubes outside the vessel, therefore, the heat exchange area provided by the outer sleeve fails to meet the requirement in intensive exothermic or endothermic reaction. The present invention shows a new heating chemical reactor vessel, which can fulfill such a need. As FIG. 10O shows, the reactor vessel 2802 ofthe present invention comprises a mixer 2801, a heat transfer element 2803, a jacket 2804 and a heater 2805. The heat fransfer element 2803 may be various shapes. It is plugged into the vessel to increase the heat exchange area therein and is used as a stop plate to accelerate reaction. [1107] The reactor vessel ofthe present invention has the advantages of simple structure, high heat transfer rates and reliability.

Example 119 [1108] This embodiment shows a high heat transfer heater for heavy oil tanks. As FIG. 10P shows, heavy oil 2807 is in the canister body 2806 ofthe oil tank. The heater comprises two parts, one is a heat source outside the oil tank and the other is the heat transfer element 2808 in the tank. Heat sources outside the oil tank may be in various forms so that the tank may be kept away from electricity or steam as the heat transfer element in the tank fransfers the heat to the heavy oil in the tank. Natural circulation is facilitated when the heated heavy oil goes upward from the bottom while the cold heavy oil in the top ofthe oil tank goes down to the bottom. Thus, all the heavy oil in the tank can be heated. Outer heating stops automatically when the heavy oil in the oil tank reaches 70°C. [1109] The heavy oil in existing heavy oil tanks is heated by connecting the stream pipes into the tank. Production is severely affected by stopping the operation for checking and cleaning the tank due to steam leak caused by water hammering. The heater ofthe present invention uses the heat transfer element ofthe present invention for heat exchange in the tank in place of steam medium. It features high heat transfer rates, large unit heat transfer area and the smaller size ofthe heater. It saves energy, reduces steam consumption by 1/2 to 1/3, has long service life and saves the costs for routine maintenance.

[1110] The high heat fransfer element should be tilted for a certain angle in the installation ofthe heater.

Heat transfer heat dissipating element

Applications to Heat Dissipation in Agriculture & Fishery

[1111] The following Example 120 shows an application ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to dissipating the heat in agriculture & fishery applications, such as a heat dissipater preventing spontaneous ignition and heating.

Example 120

[1112] Gross economic losses are caused by fire or degraded quality as a result of spontaneous ignition and heating for the stored material such as granaries and mines of coal ores. However, no convenient or feasible solution has been founded so far. Bamboo tubes are plugged into granaries but the result is still not satisfactory. Lime, flame alkalis and slurry are instilled into coal mines. However, this often introduces eruption and thus threatens the safety for the operators. To solve this problem, it is necessary to prevent material from spontaneous ignition and heating by developing a new and practical high heat transfer and heat dissipating apparatus.

[1113] This embodiment utilizes the thermostatic feature ofthe high heat fransfer element to effectively and safely dissipate the heat from substance to avoid spontaneous ignition and heating.

[1114] As shown in FIG. 1 OR, the high heat transfer apparatus of heat- dissipating comprises high heat fransfer medium 2810, an elevating ring 2811, a metal pipe 2812 and radiating flanges 2813. It can be made as a single tube, tube bank, V-type tube or U-type tube according to various occasions. [1115] Based on the heat fransfer features ofthe high heat fransfer element, the bare pipe ofthe apparatus is buried in the material that may involve spontaneous ignition or heat production. The elevating ring and radiating flanges are exposed to the air. After absorbing heat, the source end transfers the heat to the sink end through the high heat transfer medium. Heat is then dissipated to the air via the radiating flanges. The process continues to help the heat contained in substance that tends to spontaneously ignite or produce heat dissipate to the exterior to avoid damage caused by spontaneous ignition or heating.

[1116] The heat-dissipating approach by the high heat transfer element of the present invention ensures the safety of material storage and production by effectively dissipating the heat from the substance , which involves spontaneous ignition and heating. The high heat fransfer heat dissipation ofthe present invention features one-way heat transmission, i.e. the heat can only travels from the source end to the sink end, not the other way around. This apparatus is a high- tech product that is friendly to environment with low energy consumption. Different from fraditional heat-dissipating apparatus, the present apparatus can be customized in terms of various specifications or models for users' installation and application since the structure thereof is not complex and it does not consume power.

Heat-Dissipating Applications to Computers and Peripherals [1117] The following Examples 121 to 131 show the applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention for dissipating the heat in computers and peripherals, such as CPU cooler for desktop PCs, plate CPU cooler under the keyboard for notebook computer, plate CPU cooler behind the display for notebook computer, IC cooler, semiconductor cooling device, IC board carried cooler for notebook computer CPU, CPU cooler in the keyboard of notebook computer, chip sets cooling device and EMI dissipation device.

Example 121

[1118] The heat transfer element ofthe present invention can be applied to computers and peripherals to dissipate the heat produced in the working process of computers and peripherals. For example, it serves as a heat- dissipating element of CPU for desktop PCs, CPU cooler of notebook computers, IC cooler, semiconductor cooling device and other heat-dissipating apparatus of other computing devices.

[1119] There are many types of CPU coolers of desktop computers available and known in the market. These coolers are basically made by stretching metal, with the additional of a CPU fan that dissipates the heat by wind. The heat- dissipating apparatus has a number of disadvantages such as large size and high thermal resistance; it gets out of order easily and produces much noise due to short service life ofthe fan. These drawbacks restrict the development of CPU. FIG. 11 A shows a CPU cooler for desktop PCs, using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 1 IB is a left side view ofthe cooler in FIG. 11 A. As shown in FIGS. 11 A and 1 IB, the CPU cooler for desktop PC comprises a heat absorbing brick 1101, a heat fransfer element 102 ofthe present invention and fins 1103. The heat transfer element 1102 is made as a serpentine pipe. Rectangular or round fins 1103 are installed to the outer wall ofthe heat transfer element 1102. The fins 1103 and the wall ofthe heat transfer element 1102 are linked together by excessive coupling, gluing or welding. The endothermic end ofthe heat transfer element 1102 is plugged into the holes of the heat absorbing brick 1101. After the cooler is installed onto the CPU of a desktop PC, the CPU releases heat to the heat absorbing brick 1101, which transfers the heat to the heat fransfer element heat transfer element 1102. The heat is transferred to the fins 1103 according to the thermostatic heat transfer characteristic ofthe heat fransfer element 1102. Heat is finally dissipated by natural airflow circulation to cool the CPU. By replacing the CPU fan, the heat transfer element ofthe present invention reduces noise and vibration and achieves the long service life and reliability of CPU coolers. It improves heat- dissipating capability and accomplishes the stable and reliable operation ofthe whole system. Hence this embodiment furnishes a new high performance cooler.

Example 122 [1120] FIG. 11C shows another embodiment ofthe CPU cooler for desktop PCs, using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 1 ID is a left side view ofthe cooler in FIG. 1 IC. As shown in FIGS. 1 IC and 1 ID, the CPU cooler for the desktop PC comprises a heat fransfer element 1104 ofthe present invention, fins 1105 and a fan 1106. The heat transfer element 1104 is made as a plate. A plurality of fins 1105 made of machined plate material are provided on the heat transfer element 1104. The fins 1105 is perpendicular to or inclined with some degrees off from the vertical with respect to the heat transfer element 1104. The fan 1106 is fixed to the heat transfer element 1104 with support 1107 and screws. The cooler is directly installed on the CPU. A thermal grease or thermal matt is applied to the contact surface between the cooler and the CPU. Heat produced by CPU is transferred to the fins 1105 through the heat transfer element 1104, while the fan 1106 blows to dissipate the heat. With proper design, the heat-dissipating capacity of this cooler can be ten times more than that of ordinary coolers. The heat transfer element ofthe present invention reduces the size and provide a better arrangement for the cooler. It improves the heat dissipation by reducing the thermal resistance. The temperature on the CPU becomes more even so that the performance ofthe processor is more stable.

Example 123 [1121] FIGS. 1 IE and 1 IF show a CPU external cooler for desktop PC, using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. The cooler shown in FIG. 1 IE is used for horizontal models while the one shown in FIG. 1 IF is used for vertical models. As shown in FIGS. 1 IE and 1 IF, the CPU cooler for the desktop PC comprises a heat absorbing brick 1108, a heat transfer element 1109 ofthe present invention and fins 1110. The shape ofthe heat absorbing brick 1108 depends on that ofthe CPU. The heat transfer element 1109 is plugged into the heat absorbing brick 1108 in close contact. The fins 1110 are installed at the end of the heat transfer element 1109 and near a power fan 1111. The heat transfer element 1109 can be bended into any shape, depending on the arrangement inside the computer. When the cooler is installed to the CPU, the heat from the CPU is fransferred to the fins 1110 near the power fan 1111 by the heat absorbing brick 1108 and the heat transfer element 1109. The fan 1111 dissipates the heat through air circulation. By replacing the CPU fan, the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention reduces noise and vibration by using the power fan only. It improves the stability ofthe processor system by reducing the thermal resistance, dissipating more heat produced by CPU and improving the thermostatic disfribution on the CPU. The system is more stable since the CPU fan is omitted. The cooler also features a well-arranged stracture and can be manufactured easily.

Example 124 [1122] Portable notebook computers are very popular. However, its demanding requirement of high performance seems to contradict the trend of minimization. The heat dissipation of CPU is particularly important for the notebook computers. The heat transfer element ofthe present invention successfully solves the problem with heat dissipation for high capacity CPU within the tiny space in the notebook computer. FIG. 1 IG shows a CPU cooler for the notebook computers, using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 1 IH is a top view ofthe cooler in FIG. 1 IG. As shown in FIGS. 1 IG and 1 IF, the CPU cooler for the notebook computer comprises the heat transfer element 1112 ofthe present invention and a connector 1113. The heat transfer element 1112 is made in the shape of a plate. The connector 1113 is used to connect the CPU with the heat transfer element 1112. Situated under the keyboard ofthe notebook computer, the cooler utilizes the high heat transfer capacity ofthe element ofthe present invention for the effective heat dissipation ofthe CPU. The notebook CPU cooler adopting the heat fransfer element of the present invention saves much space since it is light and its thickness is less than 1.5 mm. In addition, it features excellent heat transfer capability, high heat dissipation and reliability.

Example 125

[1123] FIG. Ill shows another application ofthe CPU cooler for the notebook computers using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 11 J is a bottom view along the arrow A-A in FIG. 111. Adopting the high heat fransfer soft pipe element and the heat transfer plate element, the cooler succeeds in solving the heat fransmission from the keyboard ofthe notebook computer to the rear side ofthe display. As shown in FIGS. Ill and 11 J, the notebook CPU cooler comprises a heat fransfer element 1114, a heat transfer element 1115, a heat fransfer element 1116, a heat fransfer element 1117 and an endothermic connector 1118. The heat fransfer element 1114 can be made as a tube. It can also be bended into any shape, depending on the arrangement inside the computer. The heat transfer element 1115 is made as a soft tube to form a sealed cavity by connecting the heat transfer pipe element 1114 and the heat transfer pipe element 1116. The heat transfer element 1116 is arranged behind the display. As FIG. 11 J shows, part ofthe exothermal segment is sealed inside the heat transfer plate element 1117 by welding. Arranged under the keyboard ofthe notebook computer, the endothermic connector 1118 is used to connect the CPU and the heat transfer pipe element 1114. The soft tube heat transfer element 1115 provides smooth heat transmission regardless the rotation ofthe display. Heat released by the CPU in operation is fransferred to the heat fransfer pipe element 1114 through the endothermic connector 1118. The heat is then fransferred to the soft pipe heat fransfer element 1115 and the surface ofthe heat fransfer element 1116 by the heat transfer medium in the cavity thereof. The heat transfer element 1116 homogenously fransfers the heat to the heat transfer plate element 1117 so that the heat is dissipated to the environment by natural circulation. The cooler ofthe heat transfer element ofthe present invention maximizes its heat dissipation capability. The cooler has the following advantages: fan-free heat dissipation for reducing electricity consumption; more heat from the CPU is dissipated to improve the system stability; no noise and vibration; well-arranged structure and easy to be manufactured.

Example 126 [1124] Electronic and electric apparatus, such as computers has been rapidly developed recently. Electronic parts used in these apparatus, especially semiconductor, feature high integration, large capacity, high speed and large heat flux density. Traditional heat pipe cooling approaches are applicable to the cooling ofthe thyratron, diode, inverter and converter of electric machines. There are more than eight million heat pipes produced per year for cooling electronic devices in the audio apparatus. The heat transfer element ofthe present invention can solve the technical problem existed in the present technology. FIG. 1 IK shows an IC cooler using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. As FIG. 1 IK shows, the IC cooler comprises a heat transfer plate element 1119 and longitudinal fins 1120 arranged on the sides ofthe heat transfer element 1119. The IC cooler is arranged between the IC and the electronic element 1121. Pins ofthe electronic element 1121 are inserted into the IC through the holes made on the heat transfer element 1119. The bottom of the electronic element 1121 and the heat fransfer element 1119 are in close contact. When the IC is in operation, the heat from the electronic element 1121 is fransferred to the high heat transfer plate element 1119 at the bottom. The heat is then passed to the longitudinal radiating fins 1120 on both sides ofthe high heat transfer plate element 1119 through the high heat transfer medium in the element. The heat is carried away by natural air circulation or cold water. The cooler can be arranged in series for the heat dissipation ofthe IC box. Since the heat transfer element ofthe present invention has extremely high heat flux density, its heat fransfer capability is dozens of times of common heat pipe in the case of identical shape, size and application conditions. This enhances the heat- dissipating capacity to a great extent. The IC cooler adopting the heat transfer element ofthe present invention has the advantages of simple structure and can be formed in various shapes according to different IC.

Example 127 [1125] It is impossible to rely upon a fan for extraordinary CPU cooling performance. An unconventional measure must be taken. Chips are usually cooled by the radiating flange and fan. It is impossible to lower the temperature ofthe chip under the room temperature in this way since the heat gradient is quickly balanced when the temperature of both devices becomes the same. At this time, the temperature can hardly be lowered any further; it can only be lowered to near the room temperature. The semiconductor cooling of this invention does not pollute the environment since there is no compressors and conventional cooling agent. Thermal balance is broken by powering on a specially designed semiconductor. The semiconductor cooler brings a new idea of heat dissipation such that the temperature of CPU is further controlled. When the semiconductor cooler is powered on, subsfrates on both ends produce certain temperature gradient. Thus its condensing surface provides a low temperature environment for the CPU. FIG. 1 IL is a schematic drawing ofthe installation ofa semiconductor cooling device. FIG. 1 IM shows the semiconductor cooler ofthe device shown in FIG. 1 IL. As FIG. 11L shows, the separate type semiconductor cooling device comprises an axial-flow fan 1122, an aluminum radiator 1123 and a semiconductor cooler 1124. The bottom ofthe semiconductor cooler 1124 is in close contact with the upper surface ofthe radiator 1125 (microprocessor). Thermal glue is applied to both surfaces for better contact. Powered by DC, the micro axial-flow fan 1122 produces wind with the speed higher than 3.5 m s to dissipate the heat ofthe radiator 1123. The aluminum radiator 1123 is a fin type heat exchanger for large heat-dissipating area and better heat dissipation performance ofthe air. Darkening freatment is applied to the surface to further enhance the radiation ofthe heat dissipation. The semiconductor cooler 1124 is a high heat fransfer semiconductor cooler comprising upper and lower heat fransfer elements 1126 and the heat fransfer element 1127 connecting the two heat fransfer elements 1126. The heat transfer elements 1126 are in a plate shape. Radiating plates with different sizes can be made according to various occasions. The heat transfer element 1127 is in the form ofa soft tube connector for separate-type heat fransfer. The heat from the radiator 1125 is fransferred to the high heat transfer medium in the lower heat transfer element 1126 ofthe cooler 1124 through the upper surface ofthe radiator 1125. Then the heat is dissipated to the environment by the axial- flow fan 1122 and the aluminum radiator 1123. Thus, the heat is continuously transferred to provide excellent conditions for heat dissipation ofthe radiator 1125. The surface temperature ofthe micro-processor can remain low in summer. The micro-processor is cooled if the heat at the exothermal end can be dissipated and the low temperature end is consistently cooled. Heat is transferred from one side to the other side ofthe semiconductor, causing considerable temperature gradient between the two sides. The colder side keeps absorbing heat from the hotter side. The temperature on the cold side can even be lowered below room temperature or under 0°C if the radiating flanges and a heavy-duty fan are arranged at the hot side to prevent the temperature from rising. The semiconductor cooling device using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention has the following advantages: low price, high performance, flexible accessory structure, easy to install, well-arranged structure and light, easy maintenance, long service life up to twenty years, anti-corrosion, explosion- resistant, anti-pollution and accepting both AC and DC power supply.

Example 128 [1126] The CPU chip of notebook computers tends to be high-speed and highly integrated resulting in increase of power consumption. Thus, cooling and thermostatic sfrategies become fairly important. The allowed temperature increase at the heat transfer surface ofthe CPU chip is around 40°C. A conventional approach to notebook CPU chip cooling is air circulation cooling forced by thin plate copper cooler coupled with a micro elecfric device. Heat-dissipating capacity is restricted by the small size, delicate structure and limited airflow within the notebook computer. Therefore, high performance seems to contradict the trend of minimization. FIG. 1 IN shows an IC carried cooler for the notebook computer CPU, using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. As FIG. 1 IN shows, micro rectangular or plate heat transfer element 1129 is embedded on IC 1130 to receive and transfer the heat from CPU chip 1128. When the notebook computer is operating, the heat produced by the CPU chip 1128 is sent to the heat transfer element 1129 through the contact area between the heat fransfer surface ofthe chip and the heat fransfer element 1129. After being heated by this process, the high heat transfer medium in the heat transfer element 1129 immediately fransfers the heat to the checked and fence-like radiator on the side ofthe notebook computer. Finally, the heat is fransferred to the surroundings by the micro fan. This IC carried cooler for the notebook computer CPU has the following advantages: enhancing the heat-dissipating capacity ofthe notebook computer; reducing the thickness ofthe cooler; simpler and better arranged structure; applicable design; solving the problem of contradiction between the high-speed and highly integrated development ofthe notebook CPU chip and the difficulty in heat dissipation due to increasing heat produced by the CPU chip; and stabilizing the whole system.

Example 129

[1127] Fins and micro fans are widely used to cool the notebook CPU. Such approach has limited heat-dissipating capacity. Conventional heat-dissipating approaches can hardly satisfy the cooling requirement due to the rapid development of computer technology and increased heat produced by CPU. The heat transfer element ofthe present invention turns the keyboard plate ofthe notebook computer into a heat-dissipating area to solve the problem of heat dissipation without enlarging the size ofthe computer. FIG. 110 shows a notebook computer using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. As the drawing shows, the notebook computer comprises a display 1131 and a keyboard 1134. The heat transfer plate element 1132 is installed below the keyboard 1134 as the lower part ofthe heat transfer element 1132 is in close contact with CPU 1133 of the notebook computer 1133. Featuring small thermal resistance and thermostatic effect, the heat transfer element 1132 ofthe present invention can fransfer the heat immediately to the keyboard without thermal resistance. The keyboard becomes the heat-dissipating area for rapid heat release. This cooling device has advantages such as great heat-dissipating capacity, small size, no noise and reliability.

Example 130 [1128] Heat dissipation in the chip modules of computers and some automatic control systems is a problem cannot be ignored. The working and heat-dissipating areas should be separated to ensure safety in operation. FIG. 1 IP is a 3-D view of a chipset cooling device using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. As shown in the figure, the chipset cooling device comprises a heat transfer element 1136 and radiating flanges 1137. The heat produced by chip module 1135 is centralized and transferred to the heat transfer element 1136, which fransfers the heat axially with no thermal resistance from the electric appliance device box to the radiating flanges 1137 outside the box. The radiating flanges 1137 distribute heat to the air by circulation to cool the chipset. This chipset cooling system is suitable for remote heat dissipation to a small heat- dissipating space. With the high axial heat distant transmission ofthe heat fransfer element, it transfers the heat in limited chipset space to a distant destination to enhance the heat dissipation and ensure the normal operation ofthe chipset. The chipset cooling device has the following advantages: flexible stracture, easy installation, well-arranged structure, low price, high performance, easy maintenance and long service life.

Example 131 [1129] The most effective way to reduce the EMI of a cenfral processing system (e.g. micro-computer or automatic processing systems) is to dissipate the surplus heat produced from the operation of central processing system. Since the heat can hardly goes out from the limited heat dissipating space, it is crucial to solve the problem with heat dissipation by transferring the heat to a larger external space. FIG. 1 IQ is a 3-D view of an EMI-reducing cooling device using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. As FIG. 1 IQ shows, the EMI-reducing heat dissipation device comprises a heat transfer element 1138 and radiating flange 1140. The EMI produced by the cenfral processing system 1139 affects the normal function ofthe CPU. The heat dissipating apparatus in the drawing collects the heat from the CPU effectively by the heat transfer element 1138 and then transmits the same to the radiating flange 1140 outside the central processing system 1139. The radiating flange 1140 transfers the heat to cold air in the large space by circulation to dissipate the heat and cool the CPU ofthe central processing system. The EMI reducing and heat dissipating system shown in the drawing is applicable to the occasions of limited heat dissipating space. By the feature of high and distant axial heat transfer, the heat fransfer element transfers the heat produced from the operation ofthe cenfral processing system CPU from the small space to the large space outside the central processing system. Thus, the EMI ofthe cenfral processing system is reduced to ensure the normal function of the system. The EMI-reducing and heat-dissipating device has the following advantages: low price, high performance, flexible accessory structure, well- arranged stracture, light and easy to be installed, easy maintenance, long service life up to twenty years, anti-corrosion, explosion-resistant and anti-pollution.

Applications to Heat Dissipation of Electronic or Electric Mechanic Appliance

[1130] The following Examples 132 to 143 show the applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention in the field ofthe heat dissipation of electronic and elecfric mechanic apparatus. For example, top-mounted sealed radiator for electronic controllers, wall-mounted sealed radiator for electronic controllers, embedded sealed radiator for elecfronic controllers, sealed radiator for industrial displays, enclosed cooler for televisions, cooler of silicon controlled devices, radiator for thyristers, compressed gas intermediate stage cooler, large power cooler ofthe silicon controlled device in an explosion-proof casing, cooler for power modules, storage battery radiator, thermoelectric cooler, refrigerator radiator, projector heat dissipating system , cooling plate radiator, scanner cooling system and waste heat air conditioning system.

Example 132 [1131] The heat fransfer element ofthe present invention is applicable in electronic and electric mechanic equipment as a heat-dissipating element for, such as the radiators/coolers of sealed radiator for elecfronic controllers, sealed radiator for indusfrial displays, enclosed cooler for televisions, cooler of silicon controlled devices, radiator for thyristers, compressed gas intermediate stage cooler, large power cooler ofthe silicon controlled device in an explosion-proof casing, cooler for power modules, storage battery radiator, thermoelectric cooler, refrigerator radiator, projector heat dissipating system , cooling plate radiator and other electronic and elecfric mechanic heat dissipating apparatus. [1132] The current electric apparatus control cabinets, the casing ofthe industrial display and that ofthe television are an opening system, such that dirt, oil, moisture and corrosive gas in the air tend to stick on the surface of elecfronic apparatus. This causes the disadvantages of electric apparatus, such as the temperature rising, reduced sensitivity, retarded reaction, reduced stability, shortened service life, parts be easily burned and likeness of accidents. Accordingly, there is a need for exfremely clean and air-conditioned rooms for the controllers of highly precision and large-power electric elements and the casing of the industrial display to ensure proper temperature, humidity and air quality. This is not only a huge investment but also cannot be easily used. In some cases of explosion-proof applications (e.g. petroleum refining and petroleum plants), it costs a great deal of money to manufacture, design and install the anti-explosion treatment ofthe casing of elecfric apparatus confrol cabinets and industrial displays.

[1133] The sealed radiator has the heat transfer element ofthe present invention placed on the casing ofthe electric apparatus control cabinet, industrial display and television to fransfer the heat from the elements inside the casings thereof out. FIGS. 12 A, 12B and 12C are schematic drawings ofthe installation of a sealed radiator using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention for the elecfric control cabinets. FIG. 12D is a partially cross-sectional view ofthe radiator shown in FIGS. 12A-C. As FIG 12D shows, the sealed radiator ofthe elecfric apparatus control cabinet 1202 comprises a base-tube heat transfer element 1203, an aluminum piece 1204 and a partition 1205. FIG. 12A shows that the sealed radiator 1202 is installed on the top ofthe casing ofthe electric confrol cabinet 1201. FIG. 12B shows that the sealed radiator 1202 is installed on the side ofthe casing ofthe electric control cabinet 1201. FIG. 12C shows that the sealed radiator 1202 is embedded in the casing ofthe elecfric confrol cabinet 1201. One side ofthe heat fransfer element is inside the electric apparatus control cabinet. FIG. 12E is a schematic drawing showing the installation of a sealed radiator for industrial displays, using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12F is a partially cross-sectional view ofthe radiator shown in FIG. 12E. The sealed industrial display radiator 1207 is installed on the top ofthe casing ofthe indusfrial display 1206. As shown in FIG. 12F, the radiator 1207 comprises a base-tube heat transfer element 1208, an aluminum piece 1209 and a partition 1210. FIG. 12G is a schematic drawing showing the installation of an enclosed cooler for televisions, using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12H is a partially cross-sectional view ofthe radiator shown in FIG. 12G. The sealed television radiator 1212 is installed on the top ofthe casing ofthe television 1211. As shown in FIG. 12H, the radiator 1212 also comprises a base- tube heat transfer element 1213, an aluminum piece 1214 and a partition 1215. The sealed radiator transfers the heat produced by the elements inside these casings out. Since the joint of casing and the radiator adopts a sealed stracture, all heat dissipation is finished independently and externally. It ensures the total separation for the inside and the outside ofthe casing to reach the goals of safety, cleanness and electric insulation since the air flows inside and outside are not in contact with each other.

[1134] This heat-dissipating approach eliminates the heat-dissipating holes and the fans on the casing. Clean air in the control cabinet facilitates inner circulation to fransfer the heat therein through the heat transfer element so that the cabinet, indusfrial display and television are not affected by any external factors. The sealed radiator can be used to cool most of control cabinets, indusfrial display and television by providing the cooling states with the temperature slightly higher (air-air dissipation mode) or lower (air-cold medium) than that ofthe environment. This sealed radiator even features adequate cooling capability when the temperature is up to 40 °C in summer. When the radiator is operating, the heat fransfer element tube bundle situated inside or beside the control cabinet, indusfrial display and television absorbs and fransfers the heat carried by air in the box. The heat fransfer element tube bundle on the heat-dissipating side exchanges the heat with the air outside. The heat fransfer element ofthe present invitation for the sealed radiator in the elecfric apparatus control cabinet, indusfrial display and television has the following advantages: low price, high performance, flexible accessory stracture, easy installation, well-arranged integrated stracture, light, no need for maintenance, long service life up to twenty years; only the ventilator requires simple maintenance every four to five years; the radiator does not compress air in the cabinet; anti-corrosion, explosion-resistant and anti-pollution; allowed working temperature is 4°C~40°C; the radiator accepts both AC and DC power sources.

Example 133 [1135] Silicon controlled device (i.e. ordinary thyristers) is widely used in electrical current transformation technology to switch and control the electric energy. The feature is that the more kinds ofthe apparatus there are, the more control power it can be. Under these circumstances, the requirement for the radiators is becoming rigorous as the consumption ofthe elements increase. One side ofthe regular plate silicon controlled device is a positive terminal while the other side thereof is a negative one. The extension line therebetween is a door pole. The heat-dissipating mechanism ofthe radiator is that the element is sandwiched between two mutually insulating radiators. Larger silicon controlled devices tend to adopt a plate structure because of better heat-dissipating effect. Existing medium and large power silicon controlled devices usually use a casted aluminum radiator for heat dissipation. The element is sandwiched between two radiators and the heat dissipation is reinforced by forced fan cooling. The drawback to this casted aluminum radiator is that the radiator installed to large- power silicon controlled device must be large to increase the area of heat dissipation for proper performance since it consumes much power. The other factor is that due to the consfraint ofthe heat transfer coefficient of aluminum, the effective heat-dissipating area on the radiator is reduced, which results in too much temperature rise to the element and affect the service life ofthe element. The present invention aims to provide a radiator applying the heat transfer technology to solve the problem with heat dissipation in large-power silicon controlled devices. FIG. 121 is a front view of a radiator of silicon controlled devices using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12J is a top view ofthe cooler shown in FIG. 121. As FIGS. 121 and 12 J show, the silicon controlled device has two parallel substrates, namely the positive substrate 1216 and the negative subsfrate 1223. Plate silicon controlled device 1225 is situated in the center ofthe base by a centering pin. Press plate 1224 and four bolt rods 1219 are installed onto one side ofthe negative substrate 1223. The four bolt rods 1219 are insulated from the press plate 1224 by an insulated jacket tube 1220. Ball 1218 and spring press plate 1217 are installed onto one side of the positive substrate 1216. The press plate 1224, spring press plate 1217 and ball 1218 press the silicon controlled device 1225 tightly between the two substrates 1216 and 1233 by the pressure from the bolt rod 1219. The level ofthe pressure depends on the product type ofthe silicon controlled device to ensure that the heat transfer surfaces ofthe device and radiator is in good contact with each other for reducing the contact thermal resistance. One side of heat transfer element 1222 is connected with the positive and negative substrates by squeezing or expansion connection. On the other side ofthe heat transfer element 1222, a punched radiating flange 1221 is integrated with the heat transfer element by squeezing to ensure that the radiator and the heat fransfer element are in good contact with each other and thus, reduce contact thermal resistance. The heat transfer element is made in tube shape. It can be shaped in other proper forms if necessary. The quantity and specifications ofthe heat fransfer elements, the area ofthe radiating flanges and the distance between the flanges depend on the consumption ofthe silicon controlled devices and the heat-dissipating conditions outside the radiator. The shape ofthe radiating flange depends on the distance between the positive and the negative substrates after assembling the radiator that should meet the requirement for electric insulation. After the radiator ofthe silicon controlled device is assembled, users may arrange several radiators as a cabinet according to their needs. Insulation and connection should also be taken into account. In the working process, the heat produced by the consumption ofthe silicon controlled device is transferred to the vaporizing section ofthe heat transfer element in the positive/negative substrates through the substrates. The medium in the vaporizing section rapidly fransfers the absorbed heat to the condenser section on the radiating flange through the heat insulating section. Then the heat is dissipated to the air by means of thermal radiation ofthe radiating flange and compulsory air circulation. Condensed medium returns to the vaporizing section and such a cycle repeats. This prevents a raise in the temperature ofthe casing ofthe silicon controlled device from exceeding the regulated value. The silicon controlled device radiator using the heat-dissipating element ofthe present invention features high dissipating efficiency and reduces the size ofthe radiator. A comparison between the silicon controlled devices with the same power consumption shows that the silicon controlled radiator adopting the heat- dissipating element ofthe present invention is roughly 2/3 ofthe shaped radiator in size. This kind of radiator has the following advantages: well-arranged structure; easy installation, replacement and cleaning; effectively reducing the raise in temperature ofthe silicon controlled device and extending the service life ofthe device.

[1136] FIG. 12K shows another application of a cooler for silicon controlled device, using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. As the drawing shows, the upper surface ofthe silicon controlled device 1226 is in close contact with the bottom ofthe plate heat transfer element 1227. Radiating fins 1228 are scattered on the surface ofthe plate heat transfer element 1227. The heat from the silicon controlled device 1226 is fransferred to the plate high heat fransfer element 1227 through the surface thereof. The heat is then fransferred to the longitudinal radiating fins 1228 on the plate high heat element 1227 through high heat fransfer medium therein. The heat is carried away by natural air circulation or forced airflow enhanced by the fan. As FIG. 12K shows, the silicon controlled device radiator adopting the heat transfer element ofthe present invention has very high heat flux density. Its heat fransfer capability is dozens of times higher than that of common heat pipe in the case of same shape, size and application conditions.

[1137] The radiators in the aforesaid FIGS. 121 and 12 J are also applicable for the heat dissipation in thyrister. Silicon controlled device 1125 may be replaced with the thyrister.

Example 134

[1138] In order to save power and ensure the normal operation ofthe compressor, gas compressors with higher compression ratio usually adopts multilevel compression supported with intermediate stage coolers. The working condition ofthe intermediate stage cooler correlates directly with the operation of the whole compressor module because the temperature of incoming air is directly related with the function ofthe compressor. Although the intermediate stage cooler has become part ofthe key component of various compressors, many users still choose the heat exchangers with pipe banks instead because they cannot afford the expensive price ofthe intermediate stages cooler. After practical operation for some time, the following problems were found in the heat exchangers with pipe banks: the cooling water freatment system is not accurate enough, which causes poor water quality and blockage inside the cooling water pipe due to incrustation; the temperature of outlets exceeds the standard value and fails to meet the requirement ofthe compressors, which often affects the production by causing automatic power-off of the compressors; since the cooling water pipes are made of copper and have small diameter and thin pipe wall ( 9.5 X 0.75), they may leak easily and may not be used again as they are often damaged during dredging; when the temperature ofthe cooling water becomes high in summer, it tends to stop the machine by making the air temperature at the outlet over the standard value.

[1139] Taking advantage of the highly homogenous temperature of the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention, this apparatus change the condition in the heat exchanger with pipe banks that the gas goes outside the tube and the cooling water goes inside. Instead, both gas and cooling water go outside the tube. The other point is that the heat exchange area on the source and sink ends of the compressed air intermediate stage cooler is adjustable. Cleaning ports may be installed according to the quality ofthe water to solve the problems of poor quality of water and unendurable tubes. This arrangement also improves the efficiency in cooling ofthe intermediate stage cooler and ensures the proper operation ofthe compressor. FIG. 12L shows the structure of a box-like compressed gas intermediate stage cooler using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12M is a top view ofthe cooler shown in FIG. 12L. As shown in the drawings, the central cavity ofthe compressed gas intermediate stage cooler is divided into two cavities by a partition. In one cavity, the air goes downwardly from the compressed gas intake 1231 to the compressed gas outlet 1236 , which is an air cooler side 1229, namely the source end. In the other cavity, the cooling water goes upwardly from cooling water intake 1235 to the cooling water outlet 1232, which is a cooling water side 1233, namely the sink end. Both cavities are connected together with the heat transfer pipe element 1234. The air cooler side 1229 serves as the heating end ofthe heat transfer element 1234 wherein the heat carried by the air is fransferred to the heat transfer element. The heat transfer element functions as a bridge by transferring the received heat to the incoming water at the cooling water side 1233, which is the heat dissipating side ofthe heat transfer element. The heat transfer element receives, transfers the heat and repeats this process to continuously cool the air and ensure the proper operation ofthe compressor. A number of cleaning holes may be installed on the box at the cooling water end in light of various water qualifies to clean the apparatus, resume the heat exchange area and maintain high heat exchange performance. Ribs 1230 should be wound around the surface of the heat transfer pipe element 1234 since the air cooler side 1229 has lower heat transfer rates. Condensed water is produced after the gas is compressed. Accordingly, a condenser water discharge 1237 is installed on the bottom ofthe intermediate stage cooler to avoid water hammering caused by the water into the compressor at the next level. Because the heat transfer element ofthe present invention is the core and the cooling water is the medium, the compressed gas intermediate stage cooler achieves the heat transfer between the air and the cooling water by means ofthe high homogenous temperature ofthe heat transfer element. This apparatus solves the problems with the performance of intermediate stage cooler with tube banks due to poor water quality as well as difficulty in pipe cleaning. It also provides safety and reliability to the compressor. The compressed intermediate stage cooler has the following advantages: simple stracture leads to easy installation and modification; the whole equipment may still work even if one pipe fails; little investment, long service life and highly adjustable according to various water qualities; high heat exchange efficiency and easy to operate and clean the channels; low operation and production costs. The compressed gas intermediate stage cooler can be used not only as a selective multiple air compressor solution in new plants but also as a solution to the improvement of existing intermediate stage coolers in the plants having the aforesaid problems. There is no need for changing the existing production processes or other equipments since the compressor is easy to be replaced. It is suitable for both ordinary gas compressors and other indusfrial compressors using other gas as medium so that the users may choose proper material according to the gas they use.

Example 135 [1140] Power equipment in the mining indusfry often adopts an anti-explosion stracture. That is, the power and elecfronic apparatus is installed in a sealed casing, the structure of which is strong enough to prevent gas explosion inside the casing due to overheat or other reasons from going outside so as to avoid explosion of external combustible gas. Large-power silicon controlled devices are widely used in the electrical current transformation equipment in mining to switch and confrol the electric energy. The feature is that the electrical current transformation equipment is well sealed and the confrol power is large. Under these circumstances, the requirement for radiators is gradually becoming rigorous as the consumption ofthe silicon controlled element is high. The plate silicon controlled device is often used in the elecfrical current transformation equipment in mining. One side ofthe regular plate silicon controlled device is a positive terminal while the other side thereof is a negative one. An extension line in between is a door pole. The heat-dissipating mechanism ofthe radiator is that the element is sandwiched between two mutually insulating radiators. Larger silicon controlled devices usually adopt a plate stracture because of its better heat-dissipating effect. Since the elecfrical current transformation equipment in mining is well sealed, it has poor air circulation therein. Accordingly, ordinary shaped aluminum cast radiators can hardly fransfer the heat produced by the consumption ofthe silicon controlled device outside the sealed casing. This affects the operation and service life ofthe electrical current transformation equipment by increasing the temperature in the sealed casing. [1141] FIG. 12N is a front view of a radiator ofthe anti-explosion and large- power silicon controlled device inside the casing, using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 120 is a top view ofthe radiator in FIG. 12N. As FIGS. 12N and 120 show, the large-power silicon controlled device has two parallel substrates, namely a positive subsfrate 1238 and a negative substrate 1248. Plate silicon controlled device 1250 is situated in the center o the substrates by a centering pin. A press plate 1249 and four bolt rods 1241 are installed on one side ofthe negative subsfrate 1248. The four bolt rods are insulated from the press plate 1249 through an insulated jacket tube 1242. Ball 1238 and spring press plate 1239 are installed on one side ofthe positive subsfrate 1240. The press plate 1249, spring press plate 1239 and ball 1240 press the silicon controlled device 1250 tightly between the two subsfrates by the pressure from the bolt rods 1241. The degree of pressure depends on the types ofthe silicon controlled device to ensure that the heat transfer surfaces ofthe device and radiator is in good contact with each other for reducing contact thermal resistance. One side ofthe heat fransfer element 1246 is connected with the positive and negative subsfrates by squeezing or expansion connection. On the other side of the heat transfer element, a pre-punched radiating flange 1245 is integrated with the heat transfer element by squeezing to ensure that the radiator and the heat transfer element are in good contact with each other for reducing the contact thermal resistance. The heat fransfer element is made in tube shape. It can be shaped in other proper forms if necessary. The quantity and specifications ofthe heat fransfer elements, the area ofthe radiating flanges and the distance between the flanges depend on the consumption of silicon controlled devices and the heat- dissipating conditions outside the radiator. The shape ofthe radiating flange depends on the distance between the positive and the negative subsfrates after assembling the radiator and should meet the requirement for electric insulation. A heat-proof and insulated jacket tube 1244 is installed on each ofthe heat transfer elements between the radiating flange and the substrate to enhance the insulation between the radiator, anti-explosive board 1247 and slip hole brake 1243. The anti-explosive board 1247 is fasten to the heat transfer element on the negative side through the heat-proof and insulated jacket tube 1244. The bore ofthe anti- explosive board on the positive side should be larger than the external diameter of the heat fransfer element so as to create certain space between the positive and negative substrates for installation. The slip hole brake 1243 is tightly fastened to the heat fransfer element on the positive side through the heat-proof and insulated jacket tube to seal the apparatus. The anti-explosive board 1247 separates the large-power silicon controlled device from the radiating flange to prevent a raise in temperature ofthe casing ofthe silicon controlled device from exceeding the regulated value. When assembling this kind of radiator ofthe silicon controlled device, users may arrange several radiators and other elecfric equipment as sealed anti-explosive electrical current transformation equipment according to their needs. Insulation inside and connection should also be taken into account. In the working process, the heat produced by the consumption ofthe large-power silicon controlled device is transferred to the vaporizing section ofthe heat transfer element in the positive/negative subsfrates through the substrates. The medium in the vaporizing section rapidly transfers the absorbed heat to the condenser section on the radiating flange through the heat insulating section. Then the heat is dissipated to the air outside the anti-explosive casing by means of thermal radiation ofthe radiating flange and air circulation. Condensed medium returns to the vaporizing section and such cycled circulation repeats. This prevents a raise in the temperature ofthe casing ofthe silicon controlled device from exceeding the regulated value. This kind of radiator has the following advantages: high heat- dissipating efficiency helps solving the problem of heat dissipation inside the anti- explosive large-power silicon controlled device; well-arranged structure; easy installation, replacement and cleaning; reducing the raise in temperature ofthe silicon controlled device and extending the service life ofthe device.

Example 136 [1142] Power systems in PBX and digital commumcation equipments are designed in modulization, which can be divided into AC-DC and DC-DC modules. Both modules adopt a switch voltage stabilizer instead of heavy 50Hz power frequency transformer. Technologies such as direct AC transformation, high-frequency fluctuate switch and PWM (pulse width modulation) are used to convert AC into DC 48V for power output. Then the oscillator converts DC 48V into high-frequency rectangular wave or sinusoidal wave voltage, which is supplied for various cables in communication equipments after being converted into various low- voltage DC through high frequency and stable voltage filtering. [1143] The modular design in power supply features high efficiency and a wide range of voltage stabilization. The voltage of input currents in the AC-DC module can be either 220V or 380V while output voltage is 48V. Currents may range between 10A and 200 A, with power conversion efficiency of from 88% to 90% and power consumption of from 60 W to 1,100W. Thus the crux of this technology is tackling the problem with heat dissipation in power modules. Based on shape or physical stractures, current DC-AC module radiators have low heat fransfer efficiency and a large size. Once the module consumes more than 500W of power, these radiators can scarcely fulfill the demand for heat dissipation.

[1144] FIG. 12P is a front view of a cooler for power modules using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12Q is a top view ofthe cooler in FIG. 12P. As shown in FIG. 12P and 12Q, structurally there should be two bases 1258 on the power module box 1251 for the installation of module power devices. The surface for installation ofthe bases should be clean enough to a certain extent to reduce contact thermal resistance. On each side ofthe base, a controller and auxiliary IC 1252 should be installed parallel to the base. Distance between the device and the IC should meet the requirement for electrical connection therebetween. One side of heat transfer element 1256 is linked to the base by expansion connection while the other is linked to fin by pressing to embody the cooler as integrity. The design in diameter and number ofthe heat transfer elements and the area of fins should depend on the maximum power consumption. Ventilation channel 1255 is installed behind the power module box, as shown in FIG. 12P. Air inlet and outlet locate respectively below and above the air channel. Axial-flow fan is installed above the air channel. The blast scale and stable pressure ofthe fan should meet the maximum in heat dissipation ofthe cooler. There is a sealed fixer 1253 between the base and the air channel. The fixer may be processed with phenolic boards. The sealed fixer should be assembled with the two bases as an integrated device to seal the apparatus and support the base. This structure allows the parallel installation of several coolers according to the need for enlarging power capacity. By adopting this stracture, the size of power modules in large communications witch equipment can be reduced greatly and the weight ofthe cooler can also be reduced. In operation, heat produced by friction ofthe power module travels to a vaporizing segment of the heat fransfer element on the base of power module 1258 via the base. The medium in the heat fransfer element rapidly sends heat to a condenser segment on the heat transfer element through an insulating segment. The condenser segment then fransfers heat to the surface of fins 1257. The heat is then discharged to the air by means of compulsory counter airflow enhanced by the fan. This prevents a raise in temperature ofthe casing ofthe power devices on the board from exceeding the regulated value. The power module cooler according to the present invention has the following advantages: small size and light weight, which is only 1/2 to 2/3 ofthe mechanical cooler; easy to install, which makes it convenient to replace and clean the device and install the base; high heat-dissipating rates, which help reduce both in temperature raise ofthe power module device and an temperature increase in environmental of other elecfronic devices nearby, and thus extend the useful life ofthe power and elecfronic devices.

Example 137 [1145] The storage batteries available in the current market and in service tend to adopt on small current and long recharging time to avoid overheating the central plate during recharging. The storage battery radiator with the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention facilitates rapid heat dissipation in high-current recharging, and thus reduces recharging time and achieve fast high-current recharging. The radiator is coupled with a full range of storage batteries. The design is described as follows. A partition or casing is placed inside the storage battery in the original stracture to form a sealed casing, the material of which is freated specially to make it insulated. The radiator inserts into the casing so that heat produced by high-current electricity is sent rapidly to the top (see the side view) outside the casing ofthe store battery via the heat transfer element ofthe radiator. Heat dissipation may be facilitated by natural or forced counter airflow outside the casing ofthe storage battery according to the recharging current and the extent of heating.

[1146] FIG. 12R is a 3-D drawing ofthe installation of a water-based storage battery radiator for televisions, using the cooling element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12R', 12 R" and 12R'" in turn stand for front, side and top views ofthe radiator in FIG. 12R. FIG. 12"" is a partially cross-sectional view of a part cut along the arrow AA in FIG. 12R'. As the figure shows, plate heat transfer element 1259 and clamping wall pipe heat fransfer element 1262 in the sandwich cavity are welded together to make five sealed cavities (the number of cavities varies with the specifications of storage batteries). The casings insert into space between the battery pieces in the storage battery casing 1260 as a key component of heat transfer. Both sides ofthe inner pipe ofthe clamping wall pipe heat transfer element 1262 are welded to water intake 1261 and water outlet pipe 1263 respectively to make a circulating waterway. When the storage battery is being recharged with high current, plate heat transfer element 1259 absorbs heat inside the battery and soon fransfers it into the sandwich cavity in the clamping wall pipe heat fransfer element 1259. Finally heat is carried away by cold circulating water in the inner tube ofthe clamping wall pipe heat transfer element 1259.

[1147] FIG. 12S is a 3-D schematic diagram of a forced/natural air radiator for storage battery, according to the cooling element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12S' and 12S" stand for front and top views ofthe radiator in FIG. 12S. FIG. 12S'" is a zoom-in view of circle A in FIG. 12S'. As the figure shows, the external casing comprises sealed outer casing ofthe plate heat transfer element 1264 and inner casing ofthe plate heat fransfer element 1265. Inner casing ofthe heat fransfer element 1265 (bottom) is divided into five homogenous plate heat fransfer elements 1266 (the number of cavities varies with the specifications of storage batteries). The inner cavity ofthe plate heat fransfer elements 1266 are linked with that ofthe inner casing ofthe heat fransfer elements. In recharging with high current, plate heat transfer element 1266 absorbs heat inside and soon transfers it to the air via the inner casing ofthe heat fransfer element 1265 and the outer casing ofthe heat fransfer element 1264. [1148] FIG. 12T is a 3-D drawing of another embodiment ofthe forced/natural air radiator for storage battery, using the cooling element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12T', 12 T" and 12T'" stand for front, side and top views ofthe radiator in FIG. 12T. FIG. 12T'" is a zoom-in view of circle I in FIG. 12T'. As shown in the figure, the heat fransfer cavity 1268 is composed of six vertical plate heat fransfer elements (the number of cavities varies with the specifications of storage batteries) and a horizontal plate fransfer element, which are welded together. The cavity inserts into space between the battery pieces in the storage battery casing 1267 as a key component of heat fransfer. Fins 1269 are arranged on the upper surface of heat fransfer element cavity 1268 to enlarge the heat- dissipating area and boost high exchange performance. When the storage battery is being recharged with high current, heat transfer element cavity absorbs heat inside and soon transfers it into the environment via fin 1269. The storage battery radiator in FIG. 12S-12T has the following advantages: compact structure; excellent heat fransfer and heat-dissipating performance; reduces recharging time; suitable for a full range of applications by coupling the radiator with various storage batteries.

Example 138 [1149] Technology of thermoelectric cooling was discovered at the beginning ofthe 20 century. Applications for the technology came out in the 1950s and have become a new branch of cooling technology with wider options in all technical domains as long as the development of semiconductor materials. FIG. 12U shows the theory ofthe operation of a thermoelectric cooler. As shown in the figure, a p- type semiconductor element 1270 and an n-type semiconductor element 1273 are linked together with copper piece 1274 into a thermocouple. After connected to power supply 1272 via electric wire 1271, temperature gradient and heat transfer are produced at the port. The electric current goes in the direction of n→p on the upper connector. It is a sink end since temperature drops and heat is absorbed here. The electric current goes in the direction of p→n on the lower connector. It is a source end since temperature rises and heat is released here. Heat transfer is enhanced by the heat exchanger as the source end keeps dissipating heat and stabilizes temperature while the sink end lowers temperature by absorbing heat. The operational theory ofthe thermoelectric cooler shows that using the heat exchanger for effective heat fransfer serves as a crux of thermoelectric cooling. FIG. 12V shows a portable thermoelectric cooler using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12W is a 3-D schematic drawing ofthe thermoelectric cooler. As shown in FIG 12V , stain-less small roll 1276 forms working volume, surrounded by stainless steel shell 1278. The sandwich between the small roll 1276 and the stainless steel shell 1278 is filled with PU thermal insulating layer 1277 for good insulating effect. The stainless steel casing is wrapped with lid 1275 filled with PU. Semiconductor devices are arranged below the small roll 1276, constructing thermopile 1280. The sink end of thermopile

1280 is closely linked to the small roll 1276 as thermal methicone is applied over the contact surface. The source end and heat transfer element 1279 are linked together. The tube nest goes out from the top into the air to construct the radiator at the source end. According to the heat fransfer theory of heat fransfer element 1279, heat is continuously sent to the external environment to provide thermopile with good heat-dissipating conditions. The thermoelectric cooler is easy to carry since it has a handle. This kind of thermoelectric cooler has the following advantages: high heat exchange efficiency; small size, light weight, easy to carry and flexible; the heat fransfer of inorganic high heat fransfer elements is single- way, i.e. heat can only travels one way from the heating segment to the cooling one, not in both ways; the heat transfer is not poisonous, polluting and corrosive. The thermal layer made of foam PU as integrated embodiment features good thermal insulation. The cooler is particularly suitable for transporting and storing small-amount products since it is minimized, without the cooling solution, complex mechanic equipment and piping system.

Example 139 [1150] The existing refrigerator radiators are based on coil tubes in stracture to enhance heat dissipation with natural counter current. There are a number of disadvantages such as complex stracture, low heat fransfer intensity and failure frequently caused by leak due to external force or corrosion. More severely, the leak of cooling solution probably pollutes air, threatening users' personal safety. FIG. 12X shows a refrigerator radiator using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12X' is a left side view ofthe radiator in FIG. 12X. As shown in the figure, the refrigerator radiator comprises pipe heat transfer element

1281 and heat exchange container 1283. The heat fransfer element outside the refrigerator cools the cooling solution by means of air natural counter current. The heat exchange container is composed of small linking cavities to ensure that the pressure ofthe cooling solution from the compressor is stable. After cooled by heat fransfer element 1281, the cooling solution comes from cooling solution intake 1284 to cooling solution outlet 1285, entering the next procedure. The heat-dissipating segment adopts fin 1282 to enlarge the heat fransfer area for better heat exchange effect. Heat transfer element pipe 1281 and heat exchange container 1283 are linked together by welding. The heat exchange container is made as an integrated structure to seal it more perfectly. During the working process, the temperature ofthe compressed cooling solution increases. The cooling solution transfers heat to the heat transfer element via the heat exchange container. Then the heat fransfer element sends heat to the surrounding environment via fins. The refrigerator radiator has the following advantages: simple stracture seals better; enhancing better sealing and isolating features, i.e. separation from the source and the collecting end. The separated refrigerator cooling solution and cooling substance conduct heat transfer in two places so that flows from both ends will not get mixed.

Example 140 [1151] The system of a projector produces considerable heat after it runs for a period of time. It is necessary to dissipate part of heat to stabilize the system. FIG. 12Y shows a projector using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. As the figure shows, the projector is composed of projecting and heat- dissipating systems. Similar to ordinary projectors, the projecting system comprises circuit controlling system 1286, concoctive reflecting plate 1287, light source 1288 and lens 1290. Film 1289 goes in front of concoctive reflecting plate 1287 and light source 1288. The heat-dissipating system comprises heat fransfer element 1291, cooling air channel 1292 and fin 1293. Different from conventional elements, the concoctive reflecting plate 1287, film partition and the endothermic segment ofthe heat transfer element are closely linked as an integrated sealed cavity. During the operation ofthe projector, electricity goes through the light source 1288, where most energy is converted into optical energy. A small amount of energy goes into the projector system in the form of thermal energy. Heat tends to get together in existing projectors due to poor heat- dissipating conditions. With the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention, heat given by the light source 1288 is fransferred to heat fransfer element 1291 by means of radiation and counter current. Then the heat transfer element quickly sends heat out and spreads it evenly on the fin 1293. Air in the cooling air channel 1292 is forced to produce counter airflow. The air becomes hot wind and is taken away after fully exchanging heat with the fin. As the process repeats itself, the system will not overheat as the projector is in a stable thermal condition. It boosts the function and useful life ofthe apparatus by avoiding film damage due to overheat and preventing other devices from system overheating. The projector heat dissipating system has the following advantages: small thermal resistance, high heat-dissipating performance, well-arranged and flexible structure and more adaptable for thermal flux.

Example 141

[1152] In order to achieve heat dissipation under the circumstances that no increase allowable in the latitudinal heat-dissipating section, it is necessary to extend the heat-dissipating section longitudinally on the existing cooling plate radiators. The higher the longitudinal section is, the lower the heat transfer efficiency becomes and thus reduces the heat-dissipating efficiency ofthe whole radiator. The heat transfer element ofthe present invention boosts heat- dissipating efficiency on the longitudinal section. It reduces the size ofthe radiator and makes the most of space with proper heat dissipation load. FIG. 12Z shows a cooling plate radiator using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. FIG. 12Z' is a left side view ofthe radiator in FIG. 12Z. As shown in the figure, the cooling plate radiator comprises heat transfer element 1294, aluminum plate radiator 1295 and aluminum radiator 1296. Make sure that the contact surface ofthe linked aluminum plate radiator and the aluminum radiator should top 80% to reduce contact thermal resistance. When temperature difference between the base and the air is stable, heat-dissipating efficiency is between 40% and 50% when the longitudinal section is between 70 and 80 mm in height. The heat-dissipating efficiency drops further when the height ofthe heat- dissipating section increases. As shown in FIG. 12Z and 12Z', the cooling plate radiator comprises aluminum plate radiator and heat fransfer element radiator. The height of aluminum radiating ribs should not exceed 20 mm so that the thermal efficiency ofthe ribs may reach 70%-80%. The high heat transfer efficiency ofthe heat fransfer pipe element ofthe present invention is used to link the heat fransfer pipe element and aluminum radiating base board. Aluminum pieces are installed to the sink end ofthe pipe element as sleeves so the heat- dissipating efficiency ofthe pieces is ensured as between 70% and 80%. The combination of both parts ensure the heat-dissipating efficiency ofthe current cooling plate radiator between 70%-80%, which is more than existing cooling plate radiators by 20-30%. In other words, the total heat exchange coefficient K ofthe radiator in FIG. 12Z and 12Z' is 20-30% higher than that of existing cooling plate radiators. To transfer heat, the cooling plate radiator sends heat given in the working process of electric and elecfronic devices to the aluminum heat-dissipating base first. The base divides heat into parts that one is discharged by the ribs on the aluminum dissipating board and the other is fransferred to the aluminum radiators via heat transfer pipe elements. Heat is soon taken away in forced air cooling. The cooling plate radiator has the following advantages: small thermal resistance and high heat-dissipating performance; compact stracture and flexible stracture; more adaptable for thermal flux. As large-power elecfric devices will become one of crucial directions in rapid industrial development, problems with heat dissipation for elecfric appliance will be more significant. Traditional approaches may hardly achieve heat dissipation. The aforementioned high heat fransfer cooling plate radiator effectively tackles the problem. It features a promising future and considerable potential application and business values.

Example 142 [1153] The increasing temperature ofthe scanning head and elecfronic parts ofa scanner not only affect the function ofthe scanner but also its useful life. Thus the heat dissipation ofthe scanning head and elecfronic parts ofthe scanner is exfremely crucial. FIG. 12ZA is a schematic drawing ofa scanner cooling system using the heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. As shown in the figure, the scanner cooling system comprises scanning head and electronic parts 1297, heat transfer tube element 1298 and fin 1299. The scanner cooling system comprises scanning head and elecfronic parts 1297 produces heat in operation. Heat fravels to the heat fransfer element 1298 via heat fransfer tube 1298, which continues to fransport heat axially to the fin 1299 on surface ofthe scanner casing with no thermal resistance. The flange 1299 dissipates heat by counter current heat exchange to cool the scanner. This scanner cooling system is suitable for limited heat-dissipating space. Applying high axial heat operation ofthe heat fransfer element, it fransport heat in the small space ofthe scanner to the surface ofthe casing for dissipation. The scanner heating solution has the following advantages: flexible stracture, easy installation, compact structure, low price, high performance, easy maintenance, long comprehensive useful life and high heat- dissipating performance. These achieve better scanner performance and longer useful life.

Example 143 [1154] Air conditioning systems achieve a wide range of applications. Most of current cooling and air condition equipment is based on steam compression or absorb cooling, which causes massive energy consumption. Statistics regarding summer power supply show that 20-30% of total electricity consumption lies in cooling and air condition. The scope of these applications is much limited since the cooling solution (fluoride) used in the steam compression approach does not comply with the environment. The other thing is that vast heat is wasted in all businesses. For example, afterheat carried by smoke is discharged into the air in various furnaces and afterheat produced by internal combustion power plants, etc. The use ofthe heat transfer element ofthe present invention achieves cooling by afterheat by means of fostering cooling circulation with afterheat. The key component ofthe absorbing cooling system is an absorbing bed coupled with a heat intake. The total cooling capability and the size ofthe whole cooling system depends on the circulating rates ofthe cooling medium in the absorbing bed and the performance of heat fransfer medium. FIG. 12ZB shows part of a heat recovery cooling system using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. As the drawing shows, the heat recovery cooling system comprises absorbing bed 2601, upper linking pipe 2602, heat intake composed of fin tubes 2603 and lower linking pipe 2604. All these parts are linked together as a sealed cavity. Absorbing bed 2601 contains absorbing and cooling solutions 2606. The absorbing bed, upper linking pipe, heat intake and lower linking pipe are heat transfer elements based on the present invention. The cavity is filled with heat transfer medium 2605 ofthe present invention. After the heat intake 2603 absorbs afterheat, high heat fransfer medium 2605 transports heat to the absorbing bed 2601, making the absorbing solution in it absorbing bed stripping the cooling solution. In other words, the cooling solution absorbs heat and stripping. When air ofthe room temperature goes through the heat intake composed of fin tubes 2603, high heat transfer medium makes cool the absorbing solution in the absorbing bed as the steam pressure ofthe cooling solution in the system is lowered. This helps the vaporizer cool air by absorbing heat outside and constructs a basic cooling cycle. In addition to the advantages ofthe absorbing system, the waste heat recovery cooling system have the following advantages: absorbing bed fransfer medium; excellent heat transfer feature; compact in structure; small size; light weight; suitable for various absorbing-cooling solution medium pairs.

Applications to Heat Dissipation of Medical Treatment Apparatus

[1155] The following Examples 144 and 145 show applications ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to heat dissipation in medical apparatus, such as doze-preventing cold hat and thermoelectric cooling beauty device. Example 144 [1156] Drivers of cars, trains and ships tend to doze when it is too warm in the cabin. This will probably cause grave traffic accidents. A doze-preventing cold hat consuming no or very little electricity is developed since it should not take too much valuable energy in the storage batteries used in transport means. The hat is necessary for it cools drivers' forehead or temples to keep them awake. [1157] The high heat transfer doze-preventing cold hat developed by this embodiment achieves in partial cooling ofthe head and promotes drivers' safety in driving.

[1158] FIG. 13 A shows the following stracture of the high heat transfer doze- preventing cold hat: one high heat fransfer heat transfer tube 1305 and two high heat transfer heat conducting boards 1304 are linked together as a sealed system. The external wall ofthe high heat fransfer tube 1305 is enveloped by fins 1308. P-n semiconductor thermoelectric cooler 1302 is the core cooling part comprising copper plate 1301 and several pairs of combined p-n insulating material 1303. The thermoelectric cooler is designed exclusively according to power source voltage and details are not described here. Fan 1307 is an optional component, reinforcing heat exchange by creating enough wind blowing the fins 1308. The storage battery in the vehicles or ships supplies electricity. [1159] The sink end ofthe hot point cooler is in close contact with the temples. Bodily heat is carried to the source end and sent to medium in the high heat fransfer plate element. With the fan 1307 in light ofthe feature of high- efficiency heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention, heat is fransported to the fin 1308 and then to the environment through natural counter current or heat exchange forced.

[1160] The doze-preventing cold hat ofthe present invention has the following advantages: well-arranged stracture, great cooling capacity and little electricity consumption. Suitable for drivers of all kinds of transportation, the hat reduces traffic accidents by preventing drivers from dozing. It may also be used to lower the temperature of a patient's head and in spacecraft and tanks to improve control and force.

Example 145 [1161] Technology in thermoelectric cooling first developed at the beginning ofthe last century. Applications regarding the technology came out after the 1950s and have become a new branch of cooling technology with wider options in all technical domains as long as the development of semiconductor materials. [1162] The high heat transfer portable thermoelecfric cooling beauty device of this embodiment is a high performance cooler concerning thermoelectric cooling, a perfect combination of semiconductor electronic technology and high heat fransfer elements according to the present invention.

[1163] Advantages ofthe high heat fransfer portable thermoelectric cooler include small size, outstanding cooling performance and easy to carry. It is used for normal skin care to tackle the problem with a large wound area caused by liquefied nitrogen technology. When used in beauty freatment after the surgery, it emerges as a new star in beauty apparatus by preventing the wound from being inflamed and helping it heal.

[1164] FIG. 13B shows the following operational theory ofthe thermoelecfric cooler: ap-type semiconductor 1309 and an n-type semiconductor 1312 are linked together with copper piece 1313 into a thermocouple. After connected to power supply 1311, temperature gradient and heat transfer are produced at the port. The electric current goes in the direction of n→p on the upper connector. It is a sink end since temperature drops and heat is absorbed here. The elecfric current goes in the direction of p— »n on the lower connector. It is a source end since temperature rises and heat is released here. Pairs of semiconductor thermopiles are arranged in series on the circuit, making a cold-preventing thermopile. The upper side is the sink end and the upper one is the heat end after DC power is connected according to the drawing. Heat fransfer is enhanced by the heat exchanger as the source end keeps dissipating heat and stabilizes temperature while the sink end lowers temperature by absorbing heat. The operational theory of thermoelectric cooling reveals that using the heat exchanger for effective heat fransfer serves as a crux of thermoelecfric cooling. One ofthe features of high heat fransfer elements is high heat fransfer rates, which make the combination of thermoelecfric cooling and high heat transfer rate possible. [1165] As shown in FIG. 13C, the high heat transfer portable thermoelecfric cooling beauty device comprises cold end 1317, which is closely linked to the bottom ofthe sink end of thermopile 1318. A layer of thermal methicone is applied to the contact surface. Cold setting ring 1315 and cold insulating sleeve 1316 effectively keep the low temperature at the cold end. High heat fransfer element 1319 and water tank 1320 are linked to the source end of thermopile 1318 to improve cooling performance by high heat transfer elements, which are quick to start and have high heat fransfer rates. Water pipe connector 1321 and the water tank are linked together as a water supply circuit. Handle 1314 imitates the shape ofthe hand so that it is easy to use. The cold end ofthe device may be made in various shapes according to the needs in surgery and skin freatment. [1166] The high heat fransfer portable thermoelectric cooling beauty device of the present invention is a kind of high-tech products. Different from traditional cooling beauty solutions, it does not cause any side affect or poison the skin because it does not use any cooling solution. This apparatus sounds like good news to patients since it is flexible, easy to operate and can be used in various applications.

[1167] Applications to Heat Dissipation in Daily Products [1168] The following Examples 146 to 151 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements according to the present invention to heat dissipation in daily products such as drink cooling stick, cooling cup, lamp radiator, food container, thermoelecfric cooling food container and drink cooler.

Example 146 [1169] It is absolutely necessary to develop a kind of cooling stick for drinks to protect consumers, esp. children, from being burned and save dining time. [1170] The high heat transfer cooling stick for drinks in FIG. 14A comprises high heat transfer heat conducting element 1401, fan 1404, electric mechanics 1405, battery 1406 and casing 1402. One side ofthe high heat fransfer element is a smooth tube, which is plugged into drink to absorb heat. Then the medium inside the element transports heat rapidly to the other end (exothermal end). There are ribs 1403 along the axis, the structure of which is shown as A-A, to enlarge the area of counter current heat exchange with air. A small fan powered by battery is installed above the exothermal end to boost heat exchange rates by blowing air for heat exchange with the end plugged into the drink. Air is also blown to the surface ofthe drink to lower its temperature by speeding up heat exchange via vaporization there.

[1171] The high heat fransfer drink cooling stick ofthe present invention has the following advantages: slim and smart shape; powered by battery instead of external power supply; quick heat dissipation; easy to use and carry.

Example 147

[1172] Enjoying scenery in nature has become a fashion as the progressive development of civilization and improvement of people's living standards. It can be unpleasant, however, that packed cool drinks become warm on an outing due to the rising temperature in hot days.

[1173] A kind of high heat transfer cooling cup adopting the present invention is developed in this embodiment. It succeeds in controlling and reducing the temperature of drinks.

[1174] The high heat fransfer cooling cup ofthe present invention in FIG. 14B applies a traditional structure, comprising cup 1407 and lid 1411. The cup 1407 has a double-layer stracture. Space between internal wall 1408 and the external wall is freated to be a vacuum so it is thermal insulated. The bottom ofthe lid 1411 comprises high heat transfer element 1409 and high heat transfer heat conducting plate element 1410. Inside the lid 1411 is a gully-like space 1414. There is a round top cover 1413 that can be screwed on and off on the top ofthe lid. The circumference inner wall ofthe lid 1411 and the lower surface ofthe top cover 1413 are composed of insulating materials 1412.

[1175] To use the product, someone has to screw off the top cover 1413 first, and then put edible ice cubes in the space 1414 and screw on the top cover 1413. Pour the drink to be cooled into the cup 1407 and screw off the lid 1411. The high heat transfer element 1409 soon takes the heat ofthe drink to the gully-link high heat transfer plate element, where the ice cubes in the top cover 1413 absorb heat. The drink is kept cooled since the heat of it is continuously sent away by means of high heat transfer element.

[1176] The high heat transfer cooling cup ofthe present invention has the following advantages: simple stracture, easy to use and carry and significant cooling performance.

Example 148

[1177] As large-power electric devices will become one of crucial directions in rapid industrial development, problems with heat dissipation for elecfric appliance coming along will be more significant. Traditional approaches may hardly achieve heat dissipation. Since lamps have larger normal power, power consumed also increases. This causes overheat, safety concerns and shorter useful life. The high heat fransfer lamp radiator ofthe present invention accomplishes effective heat dissipation, improving the performance of lamps. [1178] As FIG. 14C shows, heat of large-power lamps is often given out from both ends of light tube 1415. High heat fransfer heat conduit 1417 transports heat at both ends to above lamp cover 1416, where fin 1418 dissipates heat. The high heat transfer lamp radiator 1417 comprises an endothermic ring and an exothermal tube, which are sealed and linked together. The endothermic ring enveloping the exothermal end ofthe light tube absorbs heat. Fins envelope the tube and dissipate heat by fan and natural cooling. Fan cooling is suitable for indusfrial applications while natural cooling befits family use. [1179] The high heat fransfer lamp radiator ofthe present invention effectively tackles the problem with heat dissipation of large-power lamps since it has advantages such as compact, flexible stracture and high heat-dissipating performance. It features a promising future and considerable potential application and business values.

Example 149 [1180] This embodiment is related to an application of high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to food containers. It keeps food fresh by reducing the temperature of food storage through heat exchange enhanced high heat transfer pipe between a certain sink source (e.g. ice) and food. [1181] As FIG. 14D shows, a high heat fransfer food container consists of four parts, namely box lid 1419, cold medium container 1420, high heat transfer heat conduit 1421 and embodiment ofthe food container 1422. [1182] The embodiment ofthe food container 1422 is below the container as the cold medium container 1420 is above the container 1422. High heat transfer conduit 1421 penefrates vertically and is welded to the bottom ofthe cold medium container. The food container 1422 and the box lid 1419 are made of non-metal material of high insulating performance. The cold medium container 1420 is made of metal so that it can be properly welded to the high heat transfer heat conduit. The container and the lid are linked together with a quick cassette structure.

[1183] The working process ofthe high heat fransfer food container is described as follows. When a certain cooling source is placed in the cold medium container, which is put on the top ofthe food container, the high heat transfer conduit inserts into food to be cooled. The cooling source absorbs continuously the heat of food and eventually keeps food fresh by lowering the temperature. [1184] The cooling source and food in the high heat fransfer food container of the present invention are totally separated to prevent food from being polluted. The high heat transfer conduit contributes to the excellent thermostatic performance ofthe food container by transporting heat quickly and distributing it evenly throughout food. Example 150 [1185] This embodiment is a novel device combining high heat fransfer and thermoelectric cooling technologies. Using high heat transfer tubes instead of fins at the source end ofthe fraditional thermoelectric cooler, it reduces the temperature of food storage and keeps food fresh by releasing heat absorbed by semiconductor devices from the working space to the air through high heat fransfer tube.

[1186] The thermoelecfric cooler is made in light of the theory that materials of thermoelecfric energy conversion cool things when powered by DC. Thermoelecfric cooling is often called semiconductor cooling since semiconductors have the best thermoelectric converting performance. The theory ofthe operation of a thermoelecfric cooler is already shown in FIG. 13B so it is not repeated here.

[1187] The present invention applies high heat fransfer tube to the heat- dissipating apparatus in the thermoelectric cooler so as to release heat produced at the source end ofthe cooler to the air. By repeating the process above, it reduces the temperature ofthe working space and keeps food fresh. [1188] As FIG. 14E shows, a high heat fransfer thermoelectric food container consists of four parts, namely working space 1423, semiconductor element 1424, exothermal end 1425 and high heat fransfer heat conducting tube 1426. [1189] The high heat transfer thermoelectric food container of the present invention provides good fransfer performance since it uses high heat transfer tubes instead of fins at the source end ofthe traditional thermoelectric cooler. In case of the same heat-dissipating area, the high heat fransfer tube needs smaller volume than that ofthe conventional fin. The deduction in size ofthe radiator makes it highly portable.

Example 151 [1190] This embodiment quickly cools scalding drinks by adopting the high heat transfer element according to the present invention. To make drinks ofthe proper temperature for babies, drinks such as hot milk made of boiling water are usually cooled by soaking the container into cold tap water or let it cooled naturally. These methods take a long time so that babies or children tend to get impatient and unsettled.

[1191] Therefore this embodiment furnishes a kind of cooling equipment, namely high heat transfer drink cooler, which cools drinks quickly since it features high heat transfer rates.

[1192] As shown in FIG. 14F, the high heat fransfer drink cooler ofthe present invention comprises three parts: (1) the heat transfer element is divided into upper and lower parts. The former contains fin 1431 and the latter is heat transfer element 1429 in the bottle; (2) the fixer ofthe bottle; (3) fan 1432.

[1193] To cool the drink quickly, the high heat transfer drink cooler is plugged into the container and screw it on. The fan is powered on by connecting the wire to the power supply. The speed of heat transfer ofthe element is tens of thousands times than that of silver and the fan moves heat away rapidly so that hot drinks can be cooled in a short time.

[1194] The high heat transfer drink cooler according to the present invention has high practicability since it has high heat transfer rates and speed heat fransfer performance.

Heat-Dissipating Applications to Mechanic Processing Apparatus [1195] The following Examples 152 to 158 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to heat dissipation in mechanic processing, such as machine center guiding tracks, the main axis ofthe machine centers, drills, cutting tools, plastic-injecting molds, high-polymer extruding machine screws and mining drills.

Example 152 [1196] The high heat transfer medium of the present invention or heat transfer elements based on it can be applied to mechanic processing or tools to dissipate heat produced by mechanic processing apparatus or tools in the working process. For instance, it can be used in machine center guiding tracks, the main axis ofthe machine centers, cutting tools, plastic-injecting molds, high-polymer extruding machine screws, mining drills and other apparatus or tools for quick heat dissipation.

[1197] The machine center guiding track slides at high speed, producing vast heat due to abrasion in operation. The machine center guiding track should be cooled or dealt with thermostatic freatment to avoid lowered processing precision. FIG. 15A is a side view of machine center guiding tracks using the high heat transfer element ofthe presented invention. FIG. 15B is a cross-sectional view of the track in FIG. 15 A. Machine center guiding track 1501 comes in a triangle or other shapes. There is a circular cavity 1502 inside track 1501 near the sliding surface. The inner surface ofthe circular cavity 1502 comprises heat transfer medium ofthe present invention. Featuring outstanding heat conductivity, the high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention transports longitudinally frictional heat produced by the sliding track so that the temperature is distributed evenly along the track. The high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention achieves a machine center guiding track with good thermostatic effect, simple stracture and reliability. According to current technology, lubricating oil piping is usually arranged in the track gap so as to cool the track with lubricating oil. Obviously, the machine center guiding track ofthe present invention tackles the following disadvantages: poor cooling efficiency; difference in cooling performance due to the constrained extent to which the cooling oil piping can reach; after the cooling oil is used for a while, the track tends to be abraded by accumulating carbon.

Example 153

[1198] The main axis is one ofthe key parts ofthe machine center. The performance ofthe main axis has an important impact on quality of processing and machine center operation, esp. precise and highly precise machine centers. The main axis produces heat due to abrasion when the machine center is ranning. If the temperature ofthe main axis is too high, it affects directly the accuracy of process since the position ofthe pivot center ofthe main axis and other parts of the machine center may change. The high temperature also changes set the space between elements such as the main axis bearing and normal lubricating conditions. This not only affects the normal function ofthe bearing but also may cause the problem of failure caused by blockage. FIG. 15C is a side view ofthe main axis ofthe machine center using the high heat fransfer element ofthe presented invention. For the main axis ofthe machine center guiding track 1503, front bearing 1504 and rear bearing 1506 serve as the source heat of abrasion. The temperature in other locations is relatively lower. If the frictional heat produced at the front bearing 1504 and the rear bearing 1506 can be sent to other parts ofthe main axis, the heat-dissipating area is enlarged so that the temperature ofthe main axis 1503 is lowered. As shown in FIG. 15C, a circular cavity 1505 is formed in the center ofthe main axis ofthe machine center 1503. The inner surface ofthe circular cavity 1505 comprises heat transfer medium ofthe present invention. When the machine center is running, the frictional heat produced at the front bearing 1504 and the rear bearing 1506 ofthe main axis 1503 is sent to other parts ofthe main axis through high heat transfer medium on the inner surface of the ring cavity 1505 in the center ofthe main axis 1503. Since the whole surface ofthe main axis serves as a heat-dissipating surface, the temperature ofthe front bearing 1504 and rear bearing 1506 on the main axis is lowered. The high heat fransfer medium ofthe present invention achieves a machine center main axis with good cooling effect, simple stracture and reliability. The machine center main axis is basically cooling by oil cooling in the present. Obviously, the machine center main axis ofthe present invention tackles the following disadvantages in current cooling approaches: the constrained extent to which the cooling oil piping can reach; difference in cooling performance; after the cooling oil is circulated and used for a while, the main axis tends to be abraded by accumulating carbon. Example 154 [1199] It is necessary to cool cutting tools in the process of metal cutting and machining. The current cooling approach relies on the use of a cutting liquid. The disadvantage of this approach is that chlorine, sulfur and phosphorus ions in the cutting liquid tend to diffuse into the work piece and affect its quality. In addition, cutting liquid cannot be used in some cutting tools such as hard alloy cutters and ceramic ones. 40% of metal cutting lies in punching in the process of cutting processing. A drill is frequently used as a processing tool. The drill works inside the work piece so its stracture and size are limited. It can be more difficult to cool a drill than ordinary cutting tools since the drill is used in a closed space. Particularly, when the diameter ofthe hole to be drilled exceeds 60 mm, the cooling solution should be distributed to several parts around the circumference. Under this circumstance, the design in the drill stracture becomes complicated. FIG. 15D is a cross-sectional view of a drill using the high heat fransfer element ofthe presented invention. As FIG. 15D shows, the drill comprises cutting blade 1507, directing segment 1508 and handle 1509. The directing segment 1508 and the handle 1509 contain a hollow stracture 1510. The inner surface ofthe hollow structure contains the high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention. The cutting blade 1507 is heated in the process of cutting processing. When its temperature is rising, the high heat fransfer medium in the hollow structure 1510 quickly sends heat from the blade to the directing segment 1508 and the handle 1509, which fransport heat to the environment. A drill of excellent cooling efficiency, long useful life and no cooling solution becomes available by adopting the high heat fransfer medium ofthe present invention. It can also reduce pollution on the work piece and improves its quality.

Example 155

[1200] Since work of plastic deformation and the friction of cutting tools soon converts into heat in the process of metal cutting, heat tend to concentrate on the cutting part ofthe tool and the surface ofthe work piece. The temperature of part ofthe metal rises due to large thermal resistance. The high temperature not only speeds up the abrasion of tools but also affect the quality ofthe surface ofthe work piece and accuracy. FIG. 15E is a cross-sectional view of a cutting tool using the high heat fransfer element ofthe presented invention. As FIG. 15E shows, the drill comprises cutting segment 1511 and handle 1512. The cutting segment 1511 and the handle 1512 contain a hollow structure 1513. The inner surface ofthe hollow stracture contains the high heat fransfer medium ofthe present invention. The cutting segment 1511 is heated in the process of cutting processing. When its temperature is rising, the high heat fransfer medium in the hollow stracture 1513 quickly sends heat from the cutting segment to the handle 1512, which transports heat to the environment. A cutting tool of excellent cooling efficiency, long useful life and no cooling solution becomes available by adopting the high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention. It can also reduce pollution on the work piece and improves its quality to tackle and avoid drawbacks in current technology.

Example 156 [1201] Plastic injection is often applied to manufacturing parts of elecfric appliance, toys and daily products. Dealing with irregular parts such as the hollow and slim neck shape, shells, etc., or parts with a flux of thickness, a plastic-injecting mold has great temperature gradient since there is a partial heating area in it. This area will produce significant thermal sfress, influencing the quality of plastic-injecting products and the capacity of plastic-injecting technology. FIG. 15F shows a plastic-injecting mold using the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. As FIG. 15F shows, plastic-injecting mold 1514 comprises plastic-injecting port 1515 and cooling water sink 1516. To cool the partial heating area around plastic-injecting product 1519, heat transfer element 1517 of the present invention in plastic-injecting mold 1514. The endothermic end of heat transfer element 1517 is in the partial heating area, where the cooling solution cannot flows or it is not convenient to go through, ofthe plastic-injecting mold 1514. The exothermal end in the water sink. There is no fin at the endothermic while there are fins 1518 on the exothermal end. In the working process, heat transfer element 1517 transports heat in the partial heating area in the mold 1514 to the cooling water tank to reduce the temperature in the partial heating area. In order to remove the partial heating area in the plastic-injecting mold, the existing technology arranges a cooling water tank in the mold to speed up the coagulation of melted plastic in the heating area. In many occasions, the water tank should not be too near the border between the plastic-injecting mold and melted plastic otherwise the mold might break due to high temperature gradient. Obviously, the heat transfer element ofthe present invention achieves in eradicating partial thermal sfress in the plastic-injecting mold, reducing temperature gradient in the mold, improving the quality of plastic-injecting products, accelerating stripping and promoting the capacity of plastic-injecting production.

xample 157 [1202] It is necessary to cool the screw in the process of high-polymer extrusion to avoid overheat of plastic in the material cylinder or degradation dissolution of resin due to rapidly cooled plastic in the cylinder when the machine is turned off. FIG. 15G is a cross-sectional view of a high-polymer extruding machine screw using the high heat fransfer element ofthe presented invention. As FIG. 15G shows, screw fins 1521 are installed on the front end of high-polymer extruding machine screw 1520 while fins 1522 are installed on the rear end ofthe screw. A cylinder-cone cavity 1523 is formed inside the screw rod 1520. The cylinder-cone cavity 1523 is filled with the high heat fransfer medium ofthe present invention. The embodiment ofthe screw rod 1520 serves as an endothermic end as heat travels to the tail ofthe screw rod through high heat transfer medium. Heat given by the endothermic end can be used as a heat source for material drying or pre-heating. It can also be sent out via fin 1522. The fin may also use forced air-cooling or water spray cooling according to various design requirements. When plastic in the cylinder is overheated or the machine is turned off in the working process, the ventilator on the exothermal end ofthe screw rod 1520 should be turned on to prevent plastic in the cylinder from degrading or desolating so as not to affect the performance of products. Alternatively, the valve ofthe cooling water spray should be opened. The high heat fransfer medium in the cylinder-cone cavity 1523 sends part of heat out via the screw rod 1520 to lower the temperature ofthe melted plastic resin in the cylinder. When the screw rod is spinning, the high heat fransfer medium flows back to the endothermic end due to centrifugal force. The current technique is basically letting cooling water go through the center ofthe screw rod. The range of temperature control in this approach is limited. The approach also tends to cause rash cooling, incrastation and rust. Obviously, the high-polymer extruder screw rod adopting the high heat fransfer medium has the following advantages that: the temperature ofthe screw rod is easy to confrol; the homogenously distributed temperature along the axis avoids quenching; no incrustation and rust will occur in the screw rod; heat sent from the cylinder can be recycled. Thus, the invention provides a high-polymer extruder screw rod having a simple structure and reliability in operation.

Example 158 [1203] Mining drills produce a considerable amount of heat in operation. Heat should be dissipatedly promptly to extend the useful life ofthe drill. FIG. 15H shows a mining drill using the high heat transfer element ofthe presented invention. As FIG. 15H shows, the mining drill comprises support 1524, axle 1525 and holder support 1526. The holder support 1526 forms a cavity 1527. The cavity 1527 is filled with the high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention. The axle 1525 may come in a hollow structure filled with high heat fransfer medium to increase heat fransfer. The mining drill produces a great amount of heat, which travels to the holder support 1526 via the axle 1525 and the support 1524. High heat fransfer medium in the cavity 1527 supported by the support sends out heat. The current mining drill basically adopts two cooling approaches, namely compressed blast cold channel system and rig liquid jet circulation. This kind of mining drill needs a ventilator, pumping system or other auxiliary structures. Its disadvantages such as complexity in terms of stmcture, low heat transfer capability, difficult to cool the axle and bearing ofthe support. On the contrary, the mining drill adopting the high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention for heat exchange has the following advantages: high heat transfer rates, simple structure and reliability in terms of sealing.

Heat-Dissipating Applications to Audio-Visual Equipment

[1204] The following Examples 159 to 162 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to heat dissipation in audio-visual equipment, such as audio output equipment, output device and crystal triode in the amplifier.

Example 159

[1205] The wattage of output devices is rapidly increasing for the fast development of audio technology. However, the existing shape radiators can no longer fulfill users' demand. This embodiment describes a new radiator made of the high heat transfer element ofthe present invention. It boosts significantly the heat-dissipating capacity ofthe output device and extends the useful life ofthe device by solving the problem of high thermal resistance in previous shape radiators.

[1206] FIG. 16A shows a segment radiator ofthe high heat fransfer sound output element according to the present invention. The radiator comprises metal heat absorber 1601, fin 1602 and heat transfer pipe element 1603. The source end ofthe heat transfer element 1603 inserts into the heat absorber 1601 while fins 1602 envelopes its sink end. The output device is tightly screwed to the surface of the heat absorber 1601. The space between the heat absorber 1601 and the output device is freated with electric insulation and heat transfer. [1207] When the audio equipment is running, the output device transports heat to the heat absorber 1601, which passes heat quickly to the sink source with the inserted source end ofthe high heat transfer pipe elementl603. Then the fin 1602 gives heat to the surrounding space. The heat absorber 1601 has two functions. The first function is heat storage, which neutralizes peak heat produced passively by the output element. The second is heat circulation. The radiator should be placed horizontally or vertically and upward. The number of heat transfer pipe elements 1603 varies with the wattage ofthe output device. [1208] The radiator of this embodiment enhances long useful life to a great extent since it is small, light but accomplishes great heat dissipation.

Example 160 [1209] This embodiment relates a tube radiator ofthe high heat transfer audio power output device. FIG. 16B and 16C both show the tube radiator, namely the crystal triode radiator of an audio power amplifier. FIG. 16B is a front view of the radiator; FIG. 16C shows a top view of it.

[1210] As shown in FIG. 16B and 16C, the radiator comprises a base 1604, which is used to fix four crystal friodes and IC. Micro tube heat transfer element 1605 is embedded on the base, below one side of which there is a flat surface. A piece of isinglass 1609 is added to each ofthe four crystal friodes 1607 for insulation. Then the triodes are fixed under the base with screws 1608. An IC element 1610 is fixed to the center ofthe base and a fin 1611 is affixed to the other side ofthe base. The fin is a thin aluminum piece pressed into the shape as shown in FIG. 16C and lead welding welded to the base as integrity. The specifications and the quantity of devices and the area ofthe aluminum piece depend on the total consumption of four crystal triodes and the IC. There are tap holes on both sides ofthe fixing ear 1606 for installation. The radiator is fixed to the read panel ofthe amplifier 1612 with the fixing ears. A row of holes is arranged on the panel according to the position ofthe radiator as channels of thermal radiation from the radiator and counter airflow. [1211] The working process is: the tube heat fransfer elements on the base absorb heat produced by crystal friodes and IC at the bottom. Then they pass heat up to the top ofthe heat transfer elements and then to fins. The repeating process increases the temperature ofthe fins and improves the thermal radiation and heat dissipation ofthe radiator. This prevents a raise in temperature ofthe crystal triodes and the IC from exceeding the regulated value. [1212] The maximal power consumption of each of the four crystal triodes, which are used to amplify various signals, in the amplifier is known as approximately 12W. Hence a radiator should be installed to prevent the temperature ofthe crystal friodes from exceeding the allowed value. Currently heat is dissipated by affixing a piece of isinglass to each crystal triode and fastening them to the shape radiator with M3 screws. The drawback of this radiator is low heat-dissipating efficiency. To achieve proper heat dissipation, the size ofthe radiator has to be bigger so installation needs more space. Compared with the conventional radiator, the radiator ofthe present invention features high heat-dissipating performance. It is smaller than the conventional one by 1/3 and is easy to install.

Example 161 [1213] This embodiment describes a plate radiator ofthe high heat transfer sound output device adopting the high heat element ofthe present invention. FIG. 16D is a schematic diagram ofthe radiator. The radiator is composed of heat fransfer plate element 1613 and fin 1614, both of which are made ofthe heat transfer element according to the present invention. The fin 1614 is made by machining the surface ofthe plate element 1613 or by welding. [1214] The output device is arranged or installed anywhere under the plate, depending on the space. The device should be in close contact with the plate. Heat given by the output device is distributed evenly to the surface ofthe plate element 1613 by adopting the thermostatic and high heat fransfer features ofthe heat transfer element ofthe present invention. The fin 1614 enlarges the area of heat dissipation and dissipates heat eventually.

[1215] Compared with radiators based on existing technology, the radiator of the present invention has the following advantages: compact structure; lighter; it boosts heat-dissipating capacity; it extends the useful life ofthe output device. Example 162 [1216] This embodiment is related to a plate radiator of audio power output device with high heat fransfer rate. FIG. 16E and 16F show a tube radiator, namely the crystal triode radiator of a power amplifier. FIG. 16E is a front view ofthe radiator; FIG. 16F shows a top view of it.

[1217] As shown in FIG. 16E and 16F, the radiator comprises a base 1615, which is used to fix four crystal friodes 1618 and IC 1621. The base is a plate cavity, which embodies plate cavity heat transfer element 1616. One side below the base is a flat surface. A piece of isinglass 1620 is added to each ofthe four crystal triodes for insulation. Then the triodes are fixed evenly under the base with screws 1619. The base situated at the fix ears is a physical body. An IC element 1610 is fixed to the center ofthe base 1621. A fin 1611 is affixed to the other side ofthe base. The fin is a thin aluminum piece pressed into the shape as shown in FIG. 16F and lead welding welded to the base as integrity. The size of the plate cavity in the base and the area ofthe aluminum piece depend on the total consumption ofthe four crystal friodes and the IC. There are tap holes on both sides ofthe fixing ear 1617 for installation. The radiator is fixed to the read panel ofthe amplifier 1623 with the fixing ears. A row of holes is arranged on the panel according to the position ofthe radiator as channels of thermal radiation from the radiator and counter airflow.

[1218] The working process ofthe radiator of this embodiment is: the tubular heat transfer elements in the flat cavity on the base ofthe radiator absorb heat produced by the crystal friodes and the IC from the bottom Ofthe heat transfer elements, which transfer heat up to the top ofthe flat cavity and then to radiating fins. The repeating process increases the temperature ofthe radiating fins and improves the thermal radiation and heat dissipation ofthe radiator. This prevents a raise in temperature ofthe crystal friodes and the IC from exceeding the regulated value.

[1219] The maximal power consumption of each ofthe four crystal triodes, which are used to amplify various signals, in the conventional amplifier is known to be approximately 12W. Hence a radiator should be installed to prevent the temperature ofthe crystal triodes from exceeding the allowed value. Currently heat is dissipated by affixing a piece of isinglass to each crystal triode and fastening them to the shape radiator with M3 screws. The drawback of this radiator is its low heat-dissipating efficiency. To achieve proper heat dissipation, the size ofthe radiator needs to be enlarged thereby requiring additional installation space. Compared to the conventional radiator, the radiator ofthe present invention features high heat-dissipating performance with a smaller size that is approximately 2/3 ofthe conventional one and is easy to install.

Applications of Heat Dissipation to Electric Machinery Equipment [1220] The following Examples 163 to 190 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to heat dissipation in elecfric macliinery equipment, such as the exhaust steam condenser of a power plant boiler, adapter radiator, electric magnet core radiator, heat-dissipating system for electric machinery, tri-phase asynchronous adjustable motor, intensive magnetic unit radiator, X-ray machine radiator, motor radiator, hydraulic system hydraulic oil radiator, radiating system for the transmission shaft system, radiator for the pivot of precise machines, welding for part assembly, pumping cooling system, thermoelectric reactor cooling system, steam reactor cooling system, high-current off-phase close bus air-cooler, heavy machine linkage part cooling system, radiator ofthe heavy machine braking system, diesel engine cooling system, bearing, turbo charger cooling system, gasoline engine cooling system, car radiator, heat absorber and dissipater of energy storage, pressurized gas water cooler, heat collector and, non-crystal material preparation device.

Example 163

[1221] This embodiment is an exhaust steam condenser of a power plant boiler. The exhaust steam condenser of a power plant boiler cools exhaust from the turbine with cold air. It collects condensed steam and pumps it into the water supply system ofthe boiler for circulation. It is appropriate for places with a lack of water resources since cooling is based on blast.

[1222] The condenser of this embodiment adopts heat transfer elements as prepared in Example 2. FIG. 17A shows its structure. Several angled high heat fransfer heat tubes 1704 form Y-shape units. A ventilator 1703 is installed on the top of each unit. Cold wind is ventilated into both sides of and discharged out from the top ofthe Y-shape heat tubes 1704. These units may be connected in series at desire. Exhaust from the turbine is sent into the exhaust channel 1702 located beneath the condenser along the tubings. The heat tubes 1704 condense exhaust by removing heat from it. The condensed liquid is pumped into the water supply system ofthe boiler for circulation. The aforesaid inorganic high heat fransfer tube nest 1704 is divided into two ends. One is a heating end located on the steam side and the other is a heat-releasing end located on the air side, aligned in a staggering way. Since vapor condensation has a very high heat fransfer coefficient, the heating end ofthe inorganic high heat transfer 1704 is a bare pipe while there are fins on the air-cooling end.

[1223] Compared to current technology, the exhaust steam condenser of this embodiment has the following advantages. First, the heat fransfer element features low inner pressure, high heat transfer rates, quick operation, excellent extreme heat fransfer capability and no pollution. Secondly, the heat transfer process on the air side is enhanced by ribbing due to the very high heat fransfer coefficient of ribs. Applied to condensing exhaust from the boiler in the power plant, the apparatus of this embodiment features small size, high heat exchange efficiency and long lifespan.

Example 164

[1224] The core in power and elecfric equipment produces magnetic hysteresis consumption and vortex consumption. They are often referred to a combination of consumption in electric machinery and transfonners and called core wear. There is a positive correlation between the degree of core wear and the amplitude of flux alternate frequency and magnetic sensitivity through the core. [1225] Heat dissipation for a core in conventional electric equipment is based on heat fransfer served by the core per se, in which heat is dissipated as it exchanges heat with air or heat fransfer medium through the surface ofthe core. Heat inside the core cannot be dissipated quickly in cases of high flux alternate frequency and high magnetic induction strength for the core has a very small heat fransfer coefficient. This causes an increase in the core temperature with heat accumulation.

[1226] Targeting at exothermic in the core of ordinary power equipment, this embodiment applies the heat transfer technology ofthe present invention to allow fast heat fransfer from inside the core to the surface for the purpose of boosting heat-dissipating performance. An approach to the safe and reliable operation of power equipment lies in boosting core heat transfer efficiency and lowering the temperature at the core.

[1227] This embodiment adopts heat fransfer elements as prepared in Example 2 to fransfer heat rapidly from the core to the surface ofthe radiator, which heat is dissipated to the ambient by thermal radiation and natural air convection. FIG. 17B is a front view of an electric magnet core radiator on a tri- phase core fransformer according to the present invention. FIG. 17C is a top view of an electric magnet core radiator on a tri-phase core fransformer according to the present invention. The characteristic ofthe core is that an iron hoop 1706 leans toward the top and bottom ofthe coil without wrapping the side ofthe coil. Such a simple core stracture makes it easier to arrange and insulate the coil so that common dry cooling transformers of medium and small power tend to adopt such a structure.

[1228] As FIG. 17C shows, there are silicon steel pieces dividing the core 1707 in the coil into levels in order to fully utilize the cylinder space inside the coil. The core wear of a dry cooling fri-phase core fransformer of 20KW is about 100W without load and 600W with load. The core 1707 in low voltage coil 1710 has a smaller heat transfer coefficient due to the narrow gap between core surface and the coil thereby resulting in small airflow. This makes temperature on part of the core surface higher than that on the top ofthe coil and at the bottom ofthe iron loop.

[1229] A number of heat fransfer elements 1708 prepared in light of Example 2 may be embedded in the center ofthe core or along its trapezium area in order to reduce temperature on the core surface and improve cooling conditions. The diameter, number and length ofthe elements depend on the core wear and the size ofthe core. The part plugged into the core serves as a vaporizing end while the part near the iron loop serves as a heat-insulating end. The part exposed out ofthe top ofthe loop is used for heat dissipation and condensation. Aluminum pieces are pressed to the condensing end as radiating fins 1709 at the radiating end ofthe high heat transfer pipe, to increase the heat-dissipating area and improve heat dissipation.

[1230] The height of the radiating fins should befit the installation of the core and be electrically insulated. The overall cross section ofthe radiating fins should not exceed that ofthe core so that the coil and the loop can be properly installed. [1231] In this embodiment, the heat fransfer element 1708 in the center or the side ofthe core fransfers heat produced by core wear from the core to the radiating fins 1709 located on the top ofthe core, which heat is released to the ambient by thermal radiation and air convection to lower the temperature ofthe core 1707, improve insulation and extend the lifespan. [1232] The core radiator of this embodiment has the following advantages: simple structure; exfremely practical application; reduction in the size ofthe core by improving its heat-dissipating performance.

Example 165

[1233] A fransformer tends to cause wear of copper, iron and other additional wear in operation as heat produced by wear increases temperature in some parts of the fransformer. The cooling of conventional oil-bath transformers is based on transferring heat inside the coil and core to the surface, which heat is carried to the wall ofthe oil tank and oil pipes by means ofthe convection of fransformer oil. Then heat fravels from internal to external surfaces aided by heat fransfer on the wall oil tank and in the oil pipes. Finally, the transformer gives heat to the ambient via radiation and convection. This cooling approach has a few disadvantages such as low heat-dissipating rates and larger transformer size and weight due to the large heat-dissipating area required for keeping temperature below the limit in all parts ofthe fransformer.

[1234] This embodiment applies heat transfer technology ofthe present invention to the cooling ofthe elecfric transformer. That is, the cooling system is composed of high heat fransfer elements of Example 2. FIG. 17D shows the front and partially cross-sectional views of an adapter radiator made ofthe high heat fransfer tube ofthe present invention. FIG. 17E shows a side and partially cross- sectional view of an adapter radiator made ofthe high heat transfer tube ofthe present invention. FIG. 17F shows the structure ofthe heat fransfer tube. [1235] There are at least one set of long, opposite sidewall plates in the oil tank lid ofthe transformer 1713, namely the installation plates ofthe high heat fransfer pipes 1714. A number of holes regularly arranged from top to bottom on the installation plates, and having diameter corresponding to the external diameter ofthe high heat fransfer pipes 1714 are formed on the installation plates. A high heat fransfer pipe 1714 formed with fins on one side is plugged into each hole. As FIG. 17F Shows, each pipe 1714 is provided with a fixed lug 1718. [1236] As FIG. 17D shows, the locations ofthe holes depend on the insulating distance between the coil and insulator ofthe transformer 1716 and core 1715. Distance between the holes depends the size of fins 1719 at the radiating end of the high heat transfer pipes 1714. The number ofthe high heat fransfer pipes 1714 depends on unloaded wear and loaded wear. The surface of fins 1719 at the radiating end is electroplated for corrosion resistance and decent appearance. The high heat transfer pipes 1714 and the holes on the oil tank 1713 are linked together by the welded fixed lug 1718. A support for the high heat fransfer pipes 1714 may be installed in the side ofthe oil tank, if necessary. [1237] As FIG. 17E shows, the heat-absorbing end should be tilted during installation to ensure proper operation ofthe morganic high heat fransfer pipes 1714. As FIG. 17D shows, the heat-releasing end located on the wall ofthe fransformer should form an angle of certain degrees with the horizon. [1238] The high heat transfer tube nest 1714 in the transformer quickly fransfers heat from the coil, core 1715 and other parts to the heat-releasing end of the high heat transfer pipes on the oil tank 1713 through the transformer oil 1717. Fins at the heat-releasing end ofthe high heat transfer pipes 1714 located on both sides ofthe box keep temperature within a certain range by releasing heat to the ambient via thermal radiation and natural convection. [1239] The radiator of this embodiment has the following advantages: boosting heat transfer performance of oil-bath transformers; reducing the cooler size to be 1/5-1/4 of conventional radiators; providing simple structure so as to allow easy cleaning; extending the lifespan due to the higher heat fransfer rate and reduced temperature elevation at the oil surface.

Example 166 [1240] This embodiment quickly cools elecfric machines by adopting the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention. Temperature of parts on the machines rises as energy consumed in operation turns into heat. It is necessary to cool the machines in order to keep temperature below the allowable limit. [1241] There are two cooling methods for machines at the moment, i.e. external and internal cooling. External cooling relies upon air in which a fan is used to produce airflow, which air flow can only come into contact with the core, the rotor module and the casing. Thus heat must be transferred from inside to these parts so as to be taken away by the fan. Composed of parts of various physical characteristics, these machines have very complex internal heat- generating and heat fransfer mechanism. Hence promoting heat transfer of all parts in the machines serves as an effective method of improving the heat- dissipating capability and enhancing the cooling effect ofthe machines. Thus heat fransfer technology ofthe present invention is applied to cooling elecfric machines to improve current cooling approach by improving the heat transfer capability ofthe stator and rotor ofthe heat-generating source. [1242] FIG. 17G is a partially cross-sectional view of an asynchronous motor that cools the stator and rotor with the heat fransfer element as prepared in Example 2. In this embodiment, several rotor heat transfer elements 1723 are concenfrically arranged between a core 1720 on both sides of a squirrel-cage rotor and the rotor fan blades 1725. The elements, which are higher in the center and slightly lower at both ends, from a certain angle with the pivot. When the rotor is working, working liquid in the rotor heat fransfer element 1723 absorbs heat from the rotor core 1720 and rotor strip. The working liquid than passes heat to the turning rotor fan blades 1725 as wind takes heat away. Driven by axial force component ofthe centrifugal force, the condensed liquid returns to the vaporizing end ofthe rotor heat fransfer element, which recollects heat from the rotor core 1720 and strip. The cycle keeps repeating itself so that heat fravels quickly from the core 1720 and strip onto the rotor fan blades 1725. Temperature on the rotor drops significantly since heat fransfer efficiency inside the rotor increases significantly.

[1243] Several stator heat fransfer elements 1722 are embedded at both ends of electric machinery stator core 1721 axially and concenfrically to lower temperature at the stator core 1721 and the stator winding 1724 in normal operation. Copper wear and iron wear from the stator core 1721 are the main heat source in operation, causing a rise in stator temperature. The heat transfer elements 1722 help heat travel rapidly from inside the stator to the exothermic end on heat elements on both sides ofthe stator. Finally cooling fan 1726 on the motor bearing takes heat away. The heat transfer element 1722 boosts the heat fransfer performance ofthe stator core 1721. This helps lower temperature increase at the stator core wear 1721 and winding 1724, promote overload capacity and extend the lifespan.

[1244] When the machine is operating, heat transfer elements 1722 and 1723 in rotor 1720 and stator 1721 send heat, which comes from wear in operation, from the rotor and the stator to their surface. Finally the fooling fan 1726 on motor bearing releases heat to keep the temperature ofthe solvent within a certain range. [1245] Using heat fransfer elements, the machine in this embodiment promotes heat fransfer efficiency ofthe rotor and stator, lowers temperature increase inside the machine, improves insulation and extends the lifespan. The flexibility of high heat fransfer elements in terms of shape facilitates flexible and easy arrangement in the rotor and stator as well as simple structure. It also promotes performance by lowering temperature inside the machine.

Example 167

[1246] This embodiment adopts a rotating heat transfer motor bearing in place of ordinary ones so that heat produced by rotor wear in a three-phase asynchronous adjustable motor to the exothermic end on the motor bearing. By doing this, the embodiment achieves reduction in temperature increase in core and winding in electric machinery, and increase of pivot output power. [1247] The structure of a three-phase asynchronous adjustable motor rotor comes in two types, namely a squirrel-cage rotor conductor and a winding rotor conductor. When the motor is running, temperature in the rotor rises due to heat coming from copper and iron wear produced in flux alternation between the rotor conductor resistance and rotor core.

[1248] The rotor ofthe present three-phase asynchronous adjustable motor is now installed on a physical transmission shaft. There is more temperature increase on the motor bearing than other parts since the three-phase asynchronous motor produces more copper and iron wear in speed adjustment as compared to wear in constant speed, due to frequent speed adjustment and the mechanical inertia ofthe rotor.

[1249] FIG. 17H shows a partially cross-sectional view of the rotor of a tri- phase asynchronous adjustable motor and the pivot of a heat fransfer pipe machine. A heat fransfer pipe pivot 1730 serves as the fransmission shaft ofthe three-phase asynchronous adjustable motor. The inner cavity ofthe pivot is made as a cone. The dotted lines in the drawing represent working liquid 1728 in the heat transfer pipe. When the motor bearing is rotating, the working liquid 1728 in the heat transfer pipe pivot 1730 absorbs heat produced by the rotor core and conductor 1727. The working liquid 1728 is then vaporized, fraveling to the other end ofthe pivot for transferring heat to the heat-releasing part on the pivot. Driven by axial force component centrifugal force on the cone, the condensed liquid 1728 returns to the vaporizing end ofthe heat fransfer pivot 1730, which recollects heat from the rotor core and winding. The cycle keeps repeating itself to reduce temperature increase on the rotor by transferring heat inside the rotor out through the heat fransfer pipe pivot 1730.

[1250] In the case of three-phase asynchronous adjustable motors with same input wattage, the temperatures increase on the pivot 1730 is significantly reduced along with the increase in the rotational speed ofthe motor. [1251] The heat fransfer motor bearing of the present invention achieves the objects of boosting heat fransfer performance ofthe rotor of three-phase asynchronous adjustable motor, and reducing temperature increase on the rotor to a great extent. Compared to ordinary asynchronous motors, motors with the heat pipe pivot of this embodiment have the following advantages: reduced rotor pivot diameter, lighter rotor and better speed adjusting performance.

Example 168

[1252] This embodiment is an intensive magnetic unit radiator in a mineral plant, which cools hot circulating oil in the intensive magnetic unit with cold water, while using the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to enhance efficiency in heat exchange operations.

[1253] Present intensive magnetic unit radiators are based on plate heat exchangers. Partitions in these exchangers are made of thin stainless steel plates. Such kind of partitions, however, tends to be badly corroded for they cannot resist corrosion caused by hydrofluoric in water. Once a partition is corroded, cooling water is mixed with hot oil and goes into the intensive magnetic unit, thereby shorting and blowing the coil.

[1254] FIG. 171 shows the operational theory ofthe intensive magnetic unit oil radiator using the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention in a mineral plant. FIG. 17 J shows a front and cross-sectional view ofthe intensive magnetic unit oil radiator using the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention in the mineral plant. FIG. 17K shows the heat fransfer tube bank used by the intensive magnetic unit oil radiator in the mineral plant. As FIG. 171 shows, there are several parallel pipe banks in the rectangular flue channel with openings at both ends in the afterheat boiler, namely inorganic high heat transfer tube banks (see FIG. 17K). Direction of liquid medium and oil flows depends on the condition on site. As the attached figure shows, the direction ofthe flow of liquid medium is opposite to that of smoke for easy heat exchange. The number of heat tube banks on the water side in the radiator is the same as those on the oil side. The main heat exchange area comprises heat transfer elements 1733. Heat exchange between the cold and hot medium takes place outside the pipe to prevent blockage caused by incrastation found in ordinary pipes. Hot oil is cooled in an oil- water heat exchanger before entering the intensive magnetic unit. The apparatus cools oil by heating circulating water with heat carried by the hot oil to extend the lifespan ofthe apparatus.

[1255] In operation, the high heat fransfer tube nest in the smoke cavity recovers heat carried by smoke, the tube nest in the boiler drum elevates water temperature by transferring heat to water for exchanging heat. [1256] The intensive magnetic unit oil radiator of this embodiment has the following advantages: high heat fransfer rate, small size, simple structure, resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning and excellent overall integrity and performance.

Example 169

[1257] This embodiment discloses an apparatus for cooling an X-ray machine. Adopting the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention, this apparatus achieves the object of effective cooling of X-ray tubes. [1258] The metal target ofthe X-ray machine produces vast, instantaneous heat in operation. The heated metal target may melt causing failure ofthe X-ray machine if the heat is not quickly dissipated. Thus it is necessary to fransfer heat out to ensure normal operation ofthe X-ray machine. Copper anode is installed on the back ofthe metal target in present X-ray machines, which anode is cooled by liquid. The drawback of this method lies in low cooling efficiency, rush cooling and incrastation.

[1259] This embodiment furnishes an X-ray machine radiator featuring high cooling performance, simple structure and reliability. FIG. 17L shows an X-ray machine radiator adopting the high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention. The X-ray radiator comprises: a copper anode 1742, high heat transfer heat fransfer medium 1743, and radiating fins 1744. The copper anode 1742 is of a tubular structure, filled with high heat transfer medium 1743. Radiating fins 1744 are installed at the end ofthe tube. Once the X-ray machine starts working, heat produced by an electron beam colliding into the metal target travels to the copper anode 1742. Once heated, high heat transfer medium 1743 in the tube starts to fransfer heat to the radiating fins 1744, which fransport heat to the environment. [1260] The high heat transfer X-ray machine of this embodiment features high cooling performance, simple structure and reliability.

Example 170 [1261] This embodiment applies the heat fransfer technology ofthe present invention to heat dissipation in motors for boosting the heat-dissipating performance of motors, reducing temperature increase in motors, and extending lifespan.

[1262] Servo-motors, also known as AC servo-motors, are widely implemented in automatic confrol system and use elecfromc signals on the confrol winding to derive certain rpm or declination.

[1263] Small or micro double-phase asynchronous motors are frequently used as AC servo-motors. These motors may either adopt squirrel-cage or cup-shape rotors. It is necessary to enlarge electric resistance ofthe rotors in design to allow automatic braking ofthe motors. Advantages ofthe cup-shape rotor motors include lightness, small inertia and sensitivity in starting, rotation and pausing. However, the disadvantages may also include: air space between stator and rotor is somewhat large so that the no-load current ofthe motor is huge while power factor and efficiency is low, there is accumulated iron wear on the rotor since the motor frequently adjusts speed. Such factors are causes of increasing heat on the motor.

[1264] Under normally circumstances, the cooling of a servo-motor is based on external cooling, as ordinary motors do. This approach dissipates heat by air circulation yet the heat-dissipating area is rather small due to the small size and compact structure ofthe motor. Another issue is that the surface temperature of the motor can be comparably high since the motor often operates in a sealed closure under high working temperature.

[1265] As FIGS. 17M and 17N show, the motor radiator of this embodiment adopts the heat transfer elements as prepared in Example 2. FIG. 17M shows a front and partially cross-sectional view of a motor radiator adopting the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention. FIG. 17N is a side view ofthe motor radiator in FIG. 17M. The four flat or spherical surfaces on the casing ofthe motor serves as an erection surface ofthe motor radiator 1750. There are several threading screw holes on each surface for fastening four bases 1755 ofthe motor radiator.

[1266] As FIG. 17M shows, there are four heat-dissipating units on the radiator 1750. One side of each unit is a base 1755, on which several plate heat fransfer elements 1753 are embedded or pressed. The number ofthe elements depends on the extent of motor wear. On the other side, the heat transfer elements 1753 and venetian-blind radiating fins 1754 on each unit are joined together by pressing to form an integrated stracture ofthe radiator. An end cover 1752 is installed to cover the radiating fins. The venetian-blind radiating fins 1754 enhance ventilation and enlarge the heat-dissipating area for better heat heat- dissipating performance. The width (along the motor) ofthe base ofthe radiator 1755 and the radiating finsl754 in the axial direction depends on the size of casing and the amount of wear.

[1267] When the motor is running, the heat fransfer elements 1753 joined to the base absorbs heat from the casing through the base 1755 at the vaporizing end ofthe heat transfer elements 1753, and then fransfers heat from the insulated end on the heat fransfer elements 1753 to the radiating fins 1754 welded to the condensing end ofthe elements 1753. Finally the motor fan sends heat to the ambient to keep temperature increase within a certain range. [1268] The radiator of this embodiment adopting the heat fransfer elements of the present invention has the following advantages: promoting heat-dissipation on the motor, reducing the size ofthe casing; providing a simple stracture allowing easy assembly and disassembly ofthe motor; and extending the lifespan ofthe motor by lowering temperature increase ofthe motor.

Example 171 [1269] This embodiment provides an apparatus for radiating hydraulic oil in a hydraulic system adopting the heat fransfer technology ofthe present invention for effective confrol ofthe temperature of hydraulic oil to improve reliability in operation.

[1270] The performance of hydraulic oil is correlated to temperature increase of hydraulic apparatus in operation. Rising temperature degrades the quality of oil and increases carbon content in the oil, causing abrasion in such parts as valves, cylinders, servo valves and compensation pumps. Hence controlling hydraulic oil temperature serves as a crux of improving reliability in the hydraulic system.

[1271] FIG. 170 shows an apparatus for radiating hydraulic oil in a hydraulic system of this embodiment. A jacket filled with condensing oil is installed outside a hydraulic cylinder. The heat-absorbing end of high heat transfer element 1757 is soaked in the cooling oil in the jacket while the heat-releasing end stretches out of the jacket allowing heat dissipation by means of natural convection. Fins are installed on the heat-releasing end to increase the heat- dissipating area.

[1272] The temperature of hydraulic oil starts rising once the hydraulic apparatus starts working. The temperature ofthe cooling oil in the jacket rises at the same time. At this time, the high heat fransfer element 1757 also starts working as its heat-absorbing end transports heat obtained from the cooling oil to the heat-releasing end. The element resfricts temperature increase in the hydraulic oil by releasing heat to the ambient via natural convection. [1273] The hydraulic oil radiator in this embodiment has the following advantages: a simple structure simplifying the process and apparatus of filtering and purifying oil; reliable operation to effectively restrict temperature increase in oil; preventing from degradation of oil quality; reduction in carbon content; and promoting reliability ofthe hydraulic system.

Example 172 [1274] Apparatus running continuously in a long haul tends to produce heat in rapid shaft rotation. In order to assure normal operation of such equipment as compressors, it is necessary to remove heat produced in industrial production. The most common method for removal the heat is air-cooling. In other words, blast from the ambient or produced by machines takes heat away by blowing towards the bearing. Although achieving the subject of providing a simple structure, this approach takes only little heat away. It may work well with small equipment yet auxiliary facilities such as water-cooling or oil-cooling system is definitely essential for cooling the shaft in equipment of large size running under high rpm and generating gross heat production. This approach requires additional space, numerous equipment, high operating costs and tedious working process since an additional, independently operated cooling circulator is needed. [1275] The primary problem with conventional cooling approaches is their slow heat transmission and dissipation. Thus the high heat transfer element ofthe present invention is the best way to tackle the problem as it boosts fransmission with its high thermostatic and high heat fransfer characteristics. This embodiment produces a high heat transfer fransmission shaft system adopting the high heat transfer medium ofthe present invention. The system transports heat from the rotary shaft to the outer surface ofthe shaft by means ofthe rotary centrifugal force ofthe shaft per se to achieve the intended thermostatic effect. The shaft is cooled as air carries the heat away. [1276] FIG. 17P is a schematic drawing of the structure of a high heat transfer fransmission shaft system. The mechanic transmission shaft is usually of a hallow stracture. This embodiment turns this shaft into a high heat fransfer thermo conductive shaft by making the hallow stracture a tapered, conical sealed cavity, which is filled with the high heat fransfer medium. When the shaft is turning rapidly, medium carries heat from the bearing to surfaces ofthe shaft by means of centrifugal force. This leads to a thermostatic state in all parts ofthe shaft and lowers temperature on the bearing. All the surfaces become heat-releasing areas, where air takes away a considerable amount of heat when flowing through the surfaces. Thus, the rotating equipment can work properly since the bearing is cooled again as its temperature is lowered.

[1277] No tubular core is installed inside the cone-shape hallow wall ofthe shaft since it relies upon centrifugal force. The heat-releasing part on the bearing serves as the source end ofthe high heat fransfer element, while the air-cooling part is a sink end. The inner diameter ofthe source end is slightly greater than that ofthe cooling end subjecting the shaft rotating under a high speed to generate centrifugal force for proper operation. If the shaft still cannot provide the cooling capacity as needed due to exceeding heat production, the problem can be tackled by adding radiating blades to one or two sides ofthe shaft, increasing blast volume or speed ofthe air flow.

[1278] The mechanic transmission thermal conductive shaft serves as the core ofthe high heat transfer transmission shaft system. With a simple and light stracture, it looks quite similar to ordinary shafts while allowing easy operation and installation. Using air as the heat-dissipating medium, the apparatus adopts the high heat fransfer element as heat transfer medium so as to achieve the objects of better cooling performance as compared to ordinary transmission shafts without requiring any particular operation processes. The radiator serves as an additional option allowing safe and reliable operation of such fransmission equipment as compressors, and has the following advantages:

High cooling efficiency and extensive cooling range;

Simple stracture and easy installation and manufacture; Low production and transportation costs;

Low one-step investment and long useful period;

Little installation space and conservation of water resources;

Simple working process, easy operation and reliability; and

Pollution-free. [1279] The simple air-cooling technology of this embodiment can be used in most apparatus rotating continuously, such as motors, compressors, engines and screw extruder. It features such benefits as high cooling efficiency, extensive air- cooling range, various applications, and pollution-free, while saving a great amount of cooling water at the same time.

Example 173 [1280] This embodiment is an apparatus using the high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention to cool the main pivot of precise machines. [1281] The main pivot is an important part of machinery equipment, particularly precise machines. The main pivot produces heat due to mechanical abrasion in operation. Excessive rise in temperature in the main pivot will affect operation ofthe machine since the relative position between the pivot center of the main axis and other parts may change. The rise in temperature also changes the configured space between such elements as the main axis bearing, and normal lubricating conditions. This not only affects the normal function ofthe bearing, but may also cause the problem of failure caused by blockage. The current approach for cooling main pivots is based on oil cooling. The disadvantages of this approach are described as follows: the constrained extent to which the cooling oil piping can reach causes difference in cooling performance; after the cooling oil is circulated and used for a while, the main pivot tends to be abraded by accumulated carbon content.

[1282] FIG. 17Q shows a high heat fransfer radiator for the pivot of precise machines of this embodiment. It cools main pivot ofthe precise machine 1767 with high heat fransfer medium. [1283] Bearings 1768 and 1770 are heat sources generated by abrasion, on the main pivot 1767. Temperature in other parts is comparatively low. Transporting abrasive heat produced at the bearings 1768 and 1770 to other places on the main pivot 1767 can reduce the pivot 1767 temperature by using the surface on the pivot serve as the heat-dissipating area. As FIG. 17Q shows, the high heat transfer radiator is a circular cavity in the center ofthe main pivot. The cavity is filled with a certain amount of high heat transfer medium 1769 ofthe present invention.

[1284] When the machine is running, the high heat transfer medium 1769 in the center ofthe main pivot 1767 carries abrasive heat produced by the bearings 1768 and 1770 to other parts ofthe pivot to reduce temperature on the bearings. [1285] The high heat transfer radiator for the pivot of precise machines of this embodiment has the following advantages: high cooling efficiency, even temperature distribution along the pivot; simple stracture; reliability; preventing lubricating oil from degradation due to local temperature increase at the bearings ofthe main pivot.

Example 174 [1286] It is usually necessary to cool the melting pot rapidly when welding thick plates in order to ensure decent quality of task. This embodiment is a new type of welding assembly using the high heat transfer element ofthe present invention. This welding assembly achieves rapid and effective heat dissipation. [1287] Most present welding assembly is based on water fraveling in the copper cavity, in which water carries part of heat generated during welding by means of circulation. The disadvantage of this apparatus is its low heat exchange rate. Consequently, water sometimes does not carry heat produced by welding in time, leading to defects in welding task.

[1288] FIG. 17R shows a high heat fransfer welding assembly, comprising heat fransfer elements 1775, 1776 and a water heat exchange container 1774. The high heat transfer elements are made of high heat transfer pipes 1775 and a heat transfer block 1776,which are welded together. The pipes 1775 and block 1776 are connected to one another. The water heat exchange container 1774 comprises a cooling water intake 1772, a cooling water outlet 1773 and a water container. [1289] To enhance sufficient heat exchange, the water exchange container 1774 is made into a device with many serially connected small cavities, as shown in FIG. 17R, so as to improve heat exchange by enhancing better contact between water and the heat transfer pipes 1775.

[1290] Similar to the present assembly, the welding assembly of this embodiment is provide with two devices on both sides ofthe weld seam and the assembly moves with the bonding tool together from bottom to top. The working theory is described as follows: the heat transfer block 1776 absorbs heat produced in welding and carries the heat to the heat transfer pipes 1775. Water in the water heat exchange container 1774 carries part of heat produced in welding away by means of circulation to cool the weld seam.

[1291] The stracture of welding part assembly of this embodiment features a simple stracture, provides high heat transfer and better cooling effect.

Example 175 [1292] Cooling is needed during operation of a large-power pump since its bearings produces vast heat. Lubricating oil should also be applied generously for lubrication. Normally a radiator is implemented in the lubricating oil circulating system to cool the lubricating oil so as to ensure that lubricating oil works well without being overheated as the lubricating oil is cooled as soon as heat is taken away when the lubricating oil lubricates the bearings.

[1293] This embodiment is a high performance cooling and circulation system adopting the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. What makes a difference between the system and others is the radiator. As FIG. 17S shows, the system comprises a radiator 1778, an oil pump 1780, and a filter 1779. The lubricating oil in the pump bearing box enters the radiator 1778 that is provided with a high heat transfer element 1781 therein. The lubricating oil is cooled when exchanging heat with ambient through the high heat transfer element 1781 in the radiator 1778. Then the oil pump 1780 carries the oil through the filter 1779 and then returns to the bearing box to complete a cycle.

[1294] FIG. 17T shows a high heat fransfer radiator for the pump cooling system. As the drawing shows, the radiator 1778 has two different channels, in which oil flows in the lower channel while air goes through the upper one. The two channels are divided by a partition, into which high heat transfer elements 1781 are plugged. The high heat fransfer elements are welded to the partition. There are fins provided on one side ofthe elements 1781 while a bare pipe is plugged into the other side. The lubricating oil enters through the intake, carries heat to ambient through the high heat transfer elements 1781. The cooled lubricating oil returns the bearing box through the oil pump 1780. A fan 1783 is installed at the entrance of ti e air channel to accelerate airflow and improve heat fransfer. The application of high heat transfer element 1781 has the following advantages: quick starting, high heat efficiency, and fair heat exchange even under small temperature gradient.

Example 176

[1295] This embodiment adopts the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to control temperature and speed of reaction by dissipating heat evenly from the reactor vessel.

[1296] In the process of certain heat absorbing chemical reactions, a certain amount of heat must be absorbed to enhance the reactions. The process becomes exothermic once the reactions start. Thus afterheat must be effectively dissipated for proper confrol of temperature and reaction speed. The process of temperature confrol is very demanding in terms of sensibility and thermostatic effect of heat fransfer elements. The design ofthe high heat transfer cooling reactor vessel of this embodiment is based on the high heat transfer element to solve the problem with temperature confrol in precise chemical reactions. [1297] FIG. 17U shows a thermoelecfric high heat transfer and cooling reactor. The thermoelectric high heat fransfer cooling reactor comprises three parts, i.e. heating system, cooling system, a reactor vessel and auxiliary equipment. The heating system comprises high heat fransfer pipes 1787 and an elecfric heating system 1790. The cooling system comprises high heat transfer pipes 1787 and a cold medium channel 1789. The reactor vessel and auxiliary equipment comprises a reactor vessel 1784, supports 1785, and a cover 1788. [1298] Strict requirements are applied to temperature in various stages of a precise chemical reaction. In a predesigned program for controlling the reaction process, different confrol commands are applied to temperature confrol in various stages. Commands act on the heating and cooling systems through the controlling system to complete the entire control process. In the aforesaid reaction process, the high heat transfer pipes 1787 carries heat produced by the elecfric heating system 1790 and distributes the heat evenly to the reactor solvent 1786 in the reactor vessel 1784 in the early stage of reaction. The reacting process is exothermic in the early stage. This is followed by the controlling system activating the cooling system for proper control of temperature and reaction speed. The high heat transfer pipes 1787 transport heat produced in reaction to the cooling system, which discharges heat in a certain proportion in view ofthe commands as provided, to keep temperature and reaction speed within a certain range. In addition, changes in temperature in different reaction stages tend to be instantaneous, such that the thermal resistance existed in the heat fransfer process ofthe high heat transfer pipes 1787 may be neglected since the pipes are highly adjustable to sudden changes in temperature.

[1299] The thermoelectric high heat transfer cooling reactor of this embodiment has the following advantages: high sensitiveness, good thermostatic effect, highly adjustable to rapid temperature shifts and excellent temperature control.

Example 177 [1300] This embodiment is a high heat transfer steam cooling reactor, which adopts the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to confrol temperature and reaction speed by discharging heat evenly from the reactor vessel, and converting heat produced in reaction into quality, useful energy. [1301] Afterheat must be discharged for proper control of temperature and reaction speed in an exothermic reaction, which afterheat should also be converted into quality, useful energy. The process of temperature control is very demanding in terms of sensibility and thermostatic effect of heat transfer elements. Based exactly on such a feature, the high heat fransfer steam cooling reactor of this embodiment solves effectively the problem with temperature confrol in a precise chemical reaction.

[1302] FIG. 17V shows a high heat fransfer steam cooling reactor of this embodiment, comprising two parts, namely cooling system, a reactor vessel and auxiliary equipment. The cooling system comprises high heat transfer pipes 1795, a steam channel 1797 and a steam flow controller 1799. The reactor vessel and auxiliary equipment comprises a reactor vessel 1792, supports 1793, and a cover 1796.

[1303] In this embodiment, a preconfigured program for controlling reacting process continues changing commands accordmg to feedback information. Commands act on the steam flow controller 1799 through the controlling system to confrol steam flow and complete the controlling process. The high heat fransfer pipes 1795 carry heat produced in the reaction evenly to the steam cooling system. Saturated steam enters the cooling heat exchange system via the steam flow controller 1799. After fully exchanging heat with the high heat fransfer elements 1795, the saturated steam becomes supersaturated steam and is discharged through the steam outlet for other use. The cooling system discharges heat in a certain proportion in view ofthe commands as provide to keep temperature and reaction speed within a certain range. Changes in temperature in various reaction stages are instantaneous. Thermal resistance in the heat fransfer process enhanced by the high heat transfer pipes can be neglected since the pipes are highly adjustable to sudden changes in temperature.

Example 178 [1304] Part of electricity produced by a high-current off-phase close bus of power generating modules over 200MW becomes heat in fransmission. Forced blast-cooling modules are often used to dissipate heat from such heat. However,, such huge and complex apparatus tends to waste electricity and produces much noise.

[1305] Thus this embodiment replaces the forced blast-cooling system with a high heat transfer air-cooler, which boosts cooling efficiency to a great extent and reduces costs.

[1306] FIG. 17W shows a high-current off-phase close bus air-cooling system using heat transfer elements. A ventilator propels blast of 60°C into Phases A and

C respectively in the high-current off-phase close bus air cooling system 2700.

Then the blast is imported into Phase B via connected pipes and enters the hot blast intake 2703 of a heat fransfer air cooler 2701. The ventilator sends 40°C air into the heat transfer air cooler 2701 via an air side intake 2704 and then dissipates heat to the ambient via hot an air side outlet 2705.

[1307] Using the heat fransfer cooler instead of the forced blast cooling system, this apparatus reduces consumption of raw material, contributes to smaller close bus. reduces space taken by the cooler, and making the cooling system smaller, in place ofthe forced blast cooling system, which is huge in size and consumes much electricity.

Example 179 [1308] High temperature takes place between coupling elements in heavy- duty mechanical equipment due to accumulated heat produced by abrading elements. Since coupling elements of heavy-duty machinery tend to bear heavier load particularly along the axial and radial directions, crystalline phase change will take place inside the material of these elements, which change accelerates aging. If this situation is getting worse, the coupling elements may become distorted and cause the malfunction ofthe system.

[1309] This embodiment adopts the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to enhance rapid and efficient heat dissipation of abrasive heat produced by coupling elements to ensure the normal operation of heavy-duty mechanical system. [1310] FIG. 17X is a schematic drawing ofa cooling system for a heavy-duty machine linkage part that adopts heat transfer elements. The cooling system comprises radiating fins2707, a heat transfer element 2709, heavy-duty machinery coupling elements 2710, and a cooling medium channel. Vast abrasive heat produced in the continuous operation ofthe heavy machine coupling element 2710 accumulates on the universal driving shaft. The universal driving shaft transfers heat to the heat fransfer element 2709, which carries heat along the universal driving shaft to the radiating fins 2707 outside the machine. Cooling medium continues flowing through the channel to exchange heat with the radiating fins 2707 by means of counter current. By doing this, the abrasive heat produced by coupling elements 2710 in operation is dissipated to the environment outside the mechanical system.

[1311] The heat dissipating system of this embodiment is appropriate for heavy-duty link gears of limited heat-dissipating space. With the high and distance heat transfer features ofthe heat transfer element along the axial direction, abrasive heat produced by the mechanical coupling system is dissipated of out the system to provide a compact stracture and high efficiency for the system, to avoid failure and to extend the lifespan.

Example 180

[1312] Braking systems tend to produce vast heat in operation due to intensive abrasion. If heat cannot be dissipated rapidly, it may affect the system's braking performance and reduce reliability and lifespan. Present approaches rely upon air- cooling and water-cooling. Disadvantages of these approaches include low heat- dissipating efficiency and unreliability.

[1313] This embodiment achieves high performance heat dissipation of the braking system by adopting the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention.

[1314] FIG. 17Y is a schematic drawing of a speedy radiator of a braking system adopting heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention. The radiator comprises a brake 2712, heat fransfer elements 2713, a and low temperature heat source 2714. The heat fransfer elements 2713 come in tubular stracture are filled with heat transfer medium , and include radiating fins at the end ofthe tubes. [1315] When the braking system is operating, the high heat fransfer elements 2713 on the brake 2712 carry heat to the low temperature heat source 2714 to attain rapid heat dissipation.

[1316] Brakes adopting the braking system ofthe present invention have the following advantages: high heat transfer efficiency and performance, stable and reliable operation and long lifespan.

Example 181

[1317] Temperature in the combustion chamber can be extremely high when a diesel engine is working. The engine must be cooled since the large heat load that parts surrounding the combustion chamber experience, affects their function and reduces reliability and lifespan. Thus good cooling system serves as an important factor in full and good combustion. The existing method is circulating water in accompaniment with blast cooling. Such a method involves some disadvantages such as poor cooling performance and boiling risk.

[1318] This embodiment achieves high performance heat dissipation of diesel engines and recycles afterheat by adopting the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention.

[1319] FIG. 17Z is a schematic drawing of a diesel engine cooling system adopting the heat transfer element. The diesel engine cooling system comprises three parts, namely a circulating waterway, a heat fransfer element 2717, and a low temperature heat source 2718. The heat transfer element 2717 is configured to a tube, flat or complex stracture, filled with high heat transfer medium, and includes radiating fins at the end.

[1320] When operating the engine to perform combustion, the heat transfer element 2717 located outside the cylinder sleeve quickly takes away part of heat, so as to construct a simplified diesel engine cooling system of higher performance by reducing temperature of heated parts in the engine, lowering the pressure of circulated water and improving the function ofthe cooling system. The low temperature heat source 2718 may also be afterheat recovery apparatus to allow recycle of energy.

Example 182 [1321] The reliability and lifespan of high-speed rotary pivots and bearings serve as a crux ofthe reliability and duration ofthe whole apparatus since they are frequently used in all kinds of machines. Thus, a bearing should be well designed, properly lubricated, and absolutely cooled. Current cooling approaches for these parts rely upon either lubricating oil (for lubrication and cooling) and/or blast cooling. Disadvantages of these approaches include low cooling performance, heavy abrasions and much oil consumption. [1322] This embodiment improves a variety of bearings. In other words, it applies the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention for cooling bearings, improving their reliability and lifespan to a great extent. [1323] FIG. 17ZA shows a bearing adopting the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. The heat transfer bearing comprises three parts, namely a bearing 2719, a heat transfer element 2720 and a low temperature heat source 2721. The heat fransfer element 2720 is configured to a tube or flat structure, filled with high heat fransfer medium, and includes radiating fins at the end. When the pivot is turning at high speed, the heat fransfer element 2720 rapidly transfers abrasive heat to the low temperature heat source 2721 to reduce the temperature ofthe bearing and abrasions so as to extend the lifespan ofthe bearing and the pivot.

[1324] The new bearing model furbished by this embodiment has a number of advantages such as high cool performance, fewer abrasions, small lubricating oil consumption, reliability and long lifespan.

Example 183

[1325] As people have more rigorous standards for more powerful, economical and less polluting engines, applications of turbo chargers are getting increasingly wider. High performance and reliable long-term operation of turbo chargers has much to do with performance ofthe whole apparatus. Hence, turbo chargers should be well-designed, provides high performance and well cooled. If not properly cooled, turbo chargers tend to have a rise in temperature during continuous operation, leading to not only lower performance but also shorter lifespan. Existing cooling methods are based on blast and water cooling. Disadvantages of these methods include low cooling performance and consumption of certain effective work.

[1326] This embodiment achieves high performance heat dissipation of turbo chargers and boosting their performance by adopting the high heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention.

[1327] FIG. 17ZB shows a cooling device for turbo chargers, adopting the heat fransfer elements. The high heat fransfer cooling device comprises three parts, namely a turbo charger 2722, heat transfer elements 2723 and a low temperature heat source 2724. The heat transfer elements 2723 are each configured to a tube or flat structure, filled with high heat fransfer medium, and includes radiating fins at the end. When a turbo charger is operating, the heat fransfer elements 2723 can take way part of heat produced by the turbo charger and compressed gas in a rapid and effective way, and carry heat to the low temperature heat source 2724, where heat can be recycled. [1328] This embodiment furnishes a turbo charger featuring high cooling performance, simple stracture and reliability, in which that afterheat as produced may serve as alternative thermal energy.

Example 184

[1329] Gasoline engines have very high RPM in operation. The combustion system on these engines tends to have a very large mechanical load due to its high speed and acceleration. The system should be well cooled for a large heat load produced in combustion may affect reliability and lifespan of all parts. There has been a wide range of applications of vehicles with gasoline engines. Since combusting performance of gasoline engines has become one ofthe most crucial indicators ofthe whole vehicular module, an outstanding cooling system serves as an important factor in good combustion. The existing cooling approach is based on circulating water in accompaniment with blast cooling. This approach has a drawback of low cooling performance such that the engine sometimes needs to be shut down for cooling, which affects normal operation. [1330] This embodiment achieves high performance heat dissipation of gasoline engines and recycles afterheat by adopting the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention.

[1331] FIG. 17ZC is a schematic drawing ofa gasoline engine cooling system adopting the heat transfer element ofthe present invention. The gasoline engine cooling system comprises three parts, namely a circulating waterway 2725, a heat transfer element 2727 and a low temperature heat source 2728. The heat transfer element 2727 is configured to a tube, flat or complex structure, filled with high heat transfer medium, and includes fins at the end. When operating the engine to perform combustion, the heat transfer element 2727 efficiently carries part of heat to the low temperature heat source 2728 so as to provide a base for constructing a simplified gasoline engine cooling system of higher performance by lowering the pressure of circulated water, improving the function ofthe cooling system, where as the dissipated heat may be recycled.

[1332] This embodiment furnishes a gasoline engine cooling system featuring high cooling performance, high capacity and reliability so as to simplify normal cooling system.

Example 185 [1333] Car radiator ensures a good working environment for car engines. Traditional car radiators are composed of copper serpentine tubes attached with radiating fins. The most important drawback of such radiators is that they cannot resist collisions such that there is an increasing possibility that car radiators are damaged in car crashes. The other disadvantage is incrustation, which is very difficult to remove.

[1334] This embodiment improves radiators (see FIG. 17ZD) technically by adopting the high heat transfer heat pipe element. [1335] FIG. 17ZD shows the high heat fransfer heat tube used in this embodiment. The heat tube comprises a heat fransfer element 2729, a sleeve 2730 and radiating fins 2731. FIG. 17ZE shows the car radiator adopting the heat tubes. A water tank 2732 is linked to a water outlet 2733 and a water intake 2738 in the radiator while a pipe box 2737 is linked to the water intake/outlet 2733 and 2738. There are eight to ten heat tubes 2734 being provided on the pipe box 2737. One side (source end) of each the heat tube 2734 is placed in the pipe box 2737 while the other side (sink end) is outside the pipe box 2737. The fins penefrate the sink end of each the heat tubes 2734, which are screwed into the pipe box 2737 via sleeves 2736.

[1336] Hot coolant in the water tank 2732 enters the pipe box 2737 via the copper water outlet 2733. The coolant washes the source end ofthe heat tubes 2734. High heat fransfer medium in the heat tubes 2734 carries heat to the sink end on the heat tubes 2734 with radiating fins 2735 to dissipate heat to the environment by radiation and heat fransfer. In the pipe box 2737, coolant in the water tank 2732 carries heat to medium on the heat tube 2734. Cooled coolant returns to the water tank 2732 via the copper water intake 2738. The structure of this embodiment has the following advantages:

[1337] Using high heat transfer heat tubes for heat dissipation makes radiating tubes much shorter. Even if a heat tube is broken in the event of car crashes, coolant does not leak from the water tank since every heat tube works independently and is filled independently with heat transfer medium, such that car engines can work as usual. This improves shock-resistance of car radiators to a great extent.

[1338] Heat fransfer tubes are used to accelerate the flow of coolant and prevent incrastation.

[1339] The high heat fransfer heat tubes can be removed from the pipe box to allow easy installation, cleaning, maintenance and removal of incrustation in the radiator.

[1340] The use ofthe high-tech high heat transfer heat tube improves the heat- dissipating performance of car radiators to a great extent. Example 186 [1341] In many occasions, elecfronic devices have to be put in a sealed casing to avoid damage caused by dust, corrosive gas and rain to these devices. Heat produced by elecfronic devices per unit volume is rapidly increased due to high frequency and high-speed elecfronic devices and concentrated and compact IC. The normal operating temperature for electronic devices is between -5 and +65°C. Temperature exceeding the aforesaid range causes a decrease in performance and unstable operation. Hence heat in the electronic devices in the sealed casing should be dissipated outside in time to maintain a stable working environment. [1342] FIG. 17ZF shows elecfronic equipment with a single pipe combination heat transfer exchanger installed on its top. FIG. 17ZG shows electronic equipment with a separated heat transfer exchanger installed on its top. As FIG. 17ZG shows, a medium size fan 2743 is installed inside the casing to enhance inner circulation of hot air produced by the heat-generating devices. Then heat fravels to a heat-absorbing segment 2744 in a small size high heat transfer heat tube heat exchanger 2740. Heat then goes to a heat-releasing element segment 2745 outside the casing via the heat tube as the fan 2743 a dissipates heat to the environment. The small size high heat transfer tube heat exchanger 2740 may either be configured to a single-tube combination (FIG. 17ZF) or separate-type (FIG. 17ZG).

[1343] There are two ways of installing the heat transfer tube heat exchanger 2740, i.e. to the top and to the side. As FIG. 17ZF shows, a fan is installed at the air intake ofthe heat-absorbing segment in a sealed electric appliance cabinet. Hot air in the cabinet is dissipated continuously through the heat tubes, which fransmit heat carried by the hot air to the ambient. The heat-releasing segment of the heat fransfer tubes can be cooled either by blast or water. [1344] The cabinet and the radiator are linked together with a sealed stracture. All heat dissipation is completed absolutely exterior ofthe cabinet to maintain environmental temperature required by normal operation of electronic devices in the cabinet. Example 187 [1345] Rotary elements such as motor rotors and motor bearings have to operate non-stop in many occasions. Abrasions tend to produce heat in long-term, continuous process of operation. If heat cannot be properly dissipated, heated parts tend to be distorted so that they cannot fit in the apparatus, become less flexible and fail to achieve their expected performance. At worst, the machine has to be shut down due to part adhesion.

[1346] This embodiment adopts the high heat transfer element ofthe present invention to rapidly carry heat from a motor bearing to the casing ofthe motor through heat transfer heat radiator to cool motor winding. [1347] FIG. 17ZH shows a mixing radiator adopting heat transfer elements. The high heat transfer heat radiator comprises a rotary pivot 2749 and heat fransfer tabes 2748 installed to the pivot 2749. This embodiment achieves circulation of working liquid with centrifugal force produced in rotation. The turning radiator stirs airflow to reinforce heat fransfer. This is particularly effective in dusty occasions.

[1348] The element is made as a cone, and filled with heat transfer medium. When the rotary pivot 2749 is turning, heat fransfer medium on the pivot 2749 absorbs heat released by the rotor winding on the motor pivot. Heat is dissipated from the heat-releasing segment. By doing this, the heat transfer radiator carries heat produced by the rotary pivot to the environment during rotation.

Example 188 [1349] Compressed gases are implemented in many aspects of indusfry, such as welding protection and compressed air wrench. These gases have various parameters. There are many methods of obtaining various compressed gases. Cooling is the best approach to obtain compressed gases since such an approach is less difficult and reduces costs to a great extent. It can be very difficult and expensive to achieve parameters as required if gases are not cooled. Existing cooling methods are based on blast and water cooling. Disadvantages of these methods include low cooling performance. Special cooling approaches such as liquid cooling result in a significant increase in costs.

[1350] This embodiment achieves high performance water cooling of compressed gases and recycles afterheat by adopting the high heat transfer elements ofthe present invention.

[1351] FIG. 17ZI shows a compressed gas water cooler adopting the heat fransfer elements. The high heat fransfer compressed gas water cooler comprises three parts, namely compressed gas 2750, heat fransfer elements 2752 and a low temperature heat source 2753. The heat transfer elements 2752 are each configured to a tube or other structure, filled with high heat fransfer medium, and include radiating fins at the end.

[1352] When the compressed gas 2750 flows through the heat fransfer elements 2752 provided on the pipe surface and within the pipe, part of heat carried by the compressed gas fravels quickly and efficiently to the low temperature heat source 2753 to cool the compressed gas. Heat in the low temperature heat source 2753 can be recycled. Circulating water is used as an auxiliary cooling tool.

[1353] This embodiment furnishes a compressed gas water cooler featuring high cooling performance, simple stracture and reliability, where as the dissipated heat may be recycled.

Example 189

[1354] Many apparatus needs to work in thermostatic conditions in indusfrial production. Heat reactant or waste heat is often released during such operation as chemical reactors, catalyst regenerator and gas converter. If heat cannot be discharged, production can hardly proceed and possibly cause accidents. [1355] There are two measures of absorbing heat in the industry to discharge waste heat and keep equipment thermostatic, namely external heat intake and internal heat intake. A common way of external heat intake is letting material carrying heat go through pumps, ventilators and other power equipment to remove the heat. Then material goes through cooling such equipment as coolers, steam generators and blast coolers to remove the heat before returning to the equipment or proceeding to the next step. Circulating power equipment and heat exchange equipment work together to absorb heat. Although this measure may control heat to be absorbed, the process is tedious and needs numerous equipment. It may sometimes consume much power and require higher operational standards to deliver the hot material in and out ofthe cooling apparatus. Such a measure also increases operational costs and working area. The internal heat intake approach implements serpentine pipes and/or tube banks that are plugged into the heat- generating equipment as flowing coolant carries out heat. This measure has advantages such as simple structure, no need for single heat exchange equipment, simple process and small equipment investment. However, it can be difficult to adjust the amount of heat to be absorbed by adopting such a measure. The other drawback is that cracks in pipes due to corrosion or other reasons can hardly be detected and repaired such that leaks happen very often to affect normal productive operation.

[1356] Hence this embodiment provides a new type heat intake using high heat transfer element as the heat fransfer medium to separate the heat-generating equipment from the cooling equipment. The heat transfer elements feature high heat transfer rates, excellent thermostatic performance and good fransmission along its axial direction. One end of each ofthe high heat transfer elements is placed in the heat-generating equipment and the other end is in the distant cooling equipment. Here, the high heat transfer elements serve as the medium and bridge to carry heat produced by the heat-generating equipment to the cooling equipment. There is no need for power consumption and it saves operational costs in heat intake.

[1357] The high heat fransfer heat intake comprises high heat fransfer elements and a cooling equipment. Joined by the heat transfer elements, the heat- generating and cooling equipments can be arranged either close to each other or in certain distance. FIG. 17ZJ shows the structure of a high heat transfer heat absorber. The heat-generating equipment 2754 can be either a chemical reactor, a converter, a boiling fumace or a contact agent regenerator. The cooling equipment 2759 can be a water cooler, a steam generator, a ventilator or other heat exchangers. The heat-generating equipment 2754 can be any equipment in which heat should be removed. The cooling equipment 2759 is any equipment capable of absorbing heat. Temperature ofthe exothermic material may vary. High-grade heat may be coupled to a steam generator while low-grade heat can be linked to water coolers or blast coolers. Alternatively, several devices can be arranged in series. The choice of coolant depends on the required heat exchange effect.

[1358] The physical structure of the high heat transfer elements can be arranged into two or several modules in heat-generating and cooling equipment, depending on space required for installation ofthe heat exchange equipment, material, temperature, and the amount of heat intake. The apparatus can be placed vertically and in a slanting position.

[1359] The sink end ofthe high heat transfer elements 2755 is in full contact with the hot material and absorbs heat through the tube wall. Medium in the high heat transfer elements carries heat quickly along the inner cavity to the other end. Heated cold material (e.g. water or wind) at the other end produces steam of certain pressure and is discharged upon absorbing the heat. Heat is dissipated continuously as the heat transfer elements take removed heat, leading to a thermostatic reaction or conversion.

[1360] One thing to be noted during operation is that the cooling equipment should be arranged at a location much higher above the heat transfer elements to ensure that the heat fransfer elements can function properly and continuously and render higher heat fransfer capability. If steam generators are used as the cooling equipment, a steam-water separator should be installed on the top ofthe equipment.

The stracture ofthe heat intake of this embodiment has the following advantages:

The process of heat intake is simplified and the quantity of equipment is reduced; The cold and hot equipment can be arranged separately for flexible arrangement;

The cold and hot equipment can be coupled to achieve a wide range of applications;

The cost for obtaining heat is low since there is no need for increasing power consumption in heat fransmission;

The apparatus reduces cost investment in equipment, requires less area of installation so as to further reduce the cost;

Separated arrangement contributes to safe production by reducing the possibility of accidents caused by damage to pipes that results in mixing ofthe cold and hot material.

Example 190 [1361] Large-size crystalline alloy is a material developed in the recent decade and having a new structure. Breaking through the limitation in the size of fraditional laminated non-crystalline alloy, the large-size crystalline alloy possesses excellent mechanical and physical characteristics and is widely used in national defense and private sectors. Rush cooling is one ofthe basic conditions of preparing non-crystalline alloy. Applying high thermal conducting material such as be-bronze, the present manufacture apparatas has limited thermal diffusion coefficient, such that the present manufacture apparatus can only prepare small-size non-crystalline alloy and tends to have disadvantages such as air hole expansion.

[1362] Adopting the high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention, this embodiment furnishes a new apparatas, which shortens period of preparation and improves homogenous quality of alloys.

[1363] Improving the rash cooling rate is a gist of this embodiment. FIG. 17ZK shows the structure of a high heat transfer heat conducting non-crystalline material preparing device. As the drawing shows, coolant flows through cooling pipes 2764 while the gap between tube nests is filled with the high heat fransfer medium 2763 ofthe present invention. The medium carries heat carried by the molten metal rapidly to the tabe nests , resulting the effect equivalent to expansion ofthe heat exchange area so that it can achieve very high-speed cooling by using coolant.

[1364] The apparatus of this embodiment consists of a high heat-dissipating coefficient, allows high-speed cooling, and is suitable for preparing stick-shaped non-crystalline materials.

Heat-Dissipating Applications to Civil Engineering Facilities and Structure [1365] The following Example 191 shows an application ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to heat dissipation in civil engineering facilities and structure, such as the fumace arc hanger of boilers.

Example 191 [1366] Current fumace arcs have the problems of aging due to long-term heating and high temperature or distortion and collapse due to expanded fumace arc hangers caused by heat. This leads to short service life of boilers. [1367] This embodiment furnishes a high heat transfer furnace arc hanger for boilers. The high heat transfer tabes are used as hanging parts ofthe fumace arc as the high heat transfer tabes for hanging the furnace arc are welded to the boiler drums or the upper collecting box. The heat transfer tabes prevent the fumace arc from aging and extend the service life ofthe boiler by heat transferring and cooling the arcs with water in the boiler.

[1368] FIG. 17ZL schematically shows the furnace arc hanger of a high heat fransfer furnace arc hanger ofthe present invention. Heat tabe 2767 serves as a hanging part ofthe front arc 2770 and the rear arc 2769 as the tabe 2767 is welded to the boiler drum 2766. FIG. 17ZM shows the connection between a heat transfer tabe and a boiler drum.

[1369] The high heat transfer fumace arc hanger ofthe present invention uses the water in the boiler for effective cooling ofthe arc so that the arc will not bum down. In addition, the fumace arc may act as part ofthe heat-dissipating area in the boiler. Furthermore, the fumace arc is not damaged by heat expansion since the heat tubes feature has smaller sectional area; lower operating temperature and less heat expansion.

Applications of Heat Dissipation to Chemical Engineering Apparatus

[1370] The following Examples 192 to 194 show applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to heat dissipation in chemical engineering apparatas, such as oil tank coolers, plate radiators and distributed cement radiators.

Example 192

[1371] FIG. 18A shows a vehicle oil tank cooler adopting the heat transfer elements. FIG. 18B is a sectional view showing the oil tank of FIG. 18A. To cool the vehicle oil tank, the cooler of this embodiment comprises radiating fins 1801 , a tube type high heat transfer element 1802 prepared according to Example 2 and a mineral oil heat carrier 1804. The mineral oil heat carrier 1804 is instilled into the jacket outside the oil tank casing 1803. The endothermic end ofthe tabe type high heat fransfer element 1802 is dipped in the mineral oil heat carrier 1804 while it's the exothermic end thereof is outside the jacket. The exothermic end is formed with radiating fins to enlarge the heat-dissipating area. The apparatas is cooled by natural air circulation. When there is a rise in the temperature ofthe oil in the tank during transportation, the mineral oil heat carrier 1804 is heated as the endothermic end ofthe high heat transfer element 1802 is heated. The heat is then transferred quickly to the exothermic end and dissipated to the environment through the radiating fins 1801. Accordingly, the apparatas cools the oil to prevent the temperature from rising in the tank and changes in physical property due to the temperature rising.

[1372] This embodiment furnishes a vehicle oil tank cooler featuring high cooling performance, simple structure, reliability, high heat exchange rate and suitable for long-distance transportation. The present technology, which cools the vehicle oil tanks indirectly with water jackets (i.e. instilling cold or freezing water into the jacket), is not suitable for cooling the oil in long-distance transportation. Example 193

[1373] Independently packed cement is often transported in long distance at a temperature of 70~80°C, which may scald people and is over the standard of environmental protection and hygiene.

[1374] Adopting the high heat transfer ofthe present invention, this embodiment cools the hot cement produced by cement kiln to a normal temperature in transportation to satisfy the requirements for environmental protection, hygiene and safe unloading.

[1375] FIG. 18C is an elevational view of a high heat transfer distributed cement radiator. FIG. 18D is a front view ofthe high heat fransfer distributed cement radiator. The high heat transfer cement radiator comprises a cover 1807 and heat fransfer elements 1808. Each ofthe heat fransfer elements 1808 is plugged into the independently packed cement 1805 loaded into the carrying vehicles. The independently packed cement 1805 under the cover 1807 is a heat source end. The heat goes from the bottom to the top along the heat transfer tabes 1808 and then to the fins 1806. The cement is cooled by wind in during the transportation and the temperature inside thereof drops. The cover 1807 in between separates the heat sink end from the heat source end. To plug the heat fransfer element 1808 into the independently packed cement 1805 smoothly, the heat fransfer element tabe is a bare pipe and its end is in the form of a pin. [1376] When the independently packed cement 1805 produced in the kiln is loaded into the vehicle, the high heat fransfer distributed cement radiators (with covers) are plugged separately into the independently packed cement 1805. Cold air will fransfer the heat ofthe hot cement by the fins 1806 when the vehicles are moving.

Example 194

[1377] The pressure ofthe plate heat exchangers used to cool ammonia, resin, acid, alkalis, dye in the present chemical industry as well as steel, machinery, power, paper-making, textile and pharmaceutical industries is below 1.5 Mpa and the operating temperature is lower than 250°C . They are more suitable for small- capacity heat exchangers due to smaller spaces between the plates. [1378] This embodiment improves conventional plate radiators by adopting the high heat fransfer elements prepared in Example 2. [1379] FIG. 18E shows the structure ofthe heat fransfer tabe used by this embodiment. The high heat transfer tabe comprises a heat transfer pipe body 1810, a sleeve 1811 and radiating fins 1812. FIG. 18F shows a front view ofthe plate radiator adopting the aforesaid high heat fransfer plate radiator. FIG. 18G shows a top view ofthe plate radiator. The plate radiator includes two rectangular tipping-edge seals welded together forming a cavity 1813 in the middle. A plurality ofthe heat fransfer tabes 1814, which are arranged across, are welded to the two seals. A plurality of fins are provided on the heat fransfer tabes 1814 to increase the heat exchange area and improve heat dissipation. The heat source end ofthe heat fransfer tabe is inside the cavity as the whole radiator is vertically installed.

[1380] Hot fluid goes into the inner cavity including a left seal 1815 and a right seal 1817 through a hot flow intake 1816. The fluid horizontally washes rows ofthe high heat transfer tabes 1814 and the medium in the tabes 1814 absorbs the heat and contact the cold air in the environment. The heat is dissipated by circulation and radiation.

[1381] The plate radiator of this embodiment has the following advantages: Since the heat sink end ofthe high heat fransfer tabe 1814 achieves the heat dissipation, there is no limit for the thickness of seals 1815 and 1817. Thus, they can be thicker to sustain higher pressure.

[1382] There is no restriction to the use of material. Without non-metal material, the apparatas is suitable for various temperature ranges in petroleum chemical engineering and other industries.

[1383] The apparatas features high heat-dissipating rates by adopting the high heat transfer material. [1384] With flexibility in application, it is possible to connect one or several plate heat exchangers in parallel according to the flow ofthe hot fluid to form a standard product.

Heat Transfer Heat Exchange Element

Applications to Heat Exchange in Agriculture and fishery

[1385] The following Examples 195 to 196 show the applications ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to the heat dissipation in agriculture and fishery such as heat circulation system, heat transfer thermostatic apparatas for greenhouses, geothermal energy collectors and agricultural plastic canopies.

Example 195 [1386] The inorganic high heat fransfer element of the present invention can also be used in the fields of agriculture and fishery. For instance, a greenhouse is an artificial, small-scale climate made for plants. The greenhouse is established to fulfill the conditions of plant growth, namely proper temperature, humidity and sunlight, to eliminate the impact of weather on the plant growth. However, the greenhouses have a large temperature difference at daytime and night-time. In other words, temperature and humidity is high in daytime and low at night-time. Thus, storing the heat is an effective approach to balance the temperature difference and supply the heat loss at night-time. Furnaces are currently used to heat the greenhouses, but the temperature is not homogeneous and it is inconvenient to operate the apparatas. Using the inorganic high heat transfer- pebble heat-accumulation circulation ofthe present invention for heating is pollution-free and thus, creates a clean environment for the plants and enhances proper use and development of energy.

[1387] FIG. 19A shows the inorganic heat transfer element-pebble heat- accumulation circulation system ofthe present invention. FIG. 19B shows the solar collector in the system. The system comprises a thermal insulating layer 1901, pebbles 1902, inorganic heat transfer elements 1903, a mobile thermal insulating layer 1904, a PE film 1905 and a solar energy collector 1906. The heat-accumulation circulation system comprises the solar energy collector 1906 and the pebbles 1902. The heat circulating system is evenly distributed along the wall with a distance of 1 m between each other. The heights ofthe walls on both sides ofthe greenhouse must be different so that the PE film faces the sun and is on the leeward. The solar collector should be tilted and installed to face the sun to ensure proper operation ofthe inorganic heat transfer elements. [1388] The operating theory ofthe present invention is described as follows. The solar energy collector 1906 is an evacuated tabe with the heating segments 1909 and 1912 thereof are in the evacuated tabe 1911 and the greenhouse. The heat fransfer element in the evacuated tabe is coated with selected material. Spiral fins are welded to the heat transfer element 1912 in the greenhouse as the cooling segment is buried in the pebbles 1902. When the sunlight hits the greenhouse at daytime, the coated heating segment in the solar collector absorbs radiating heat from the sunlight while the heating segment 1912 in the greenhouse absorbs redundant heat in the greenhouse. The medium transfers the heat to the cooling segment 1907 to heat the pebbles 1902 for storing the heat. The user activates the mobile thermal insulating layer 1904 and the pebbles 1902 give the heat to the greenhouse as temperature drops at night-time. This keeps the greenhouse warm. Each inorganic heat transfer-pebble heat-accumulation circulation system is aligned in parallel and operates independently so the replacement of damaged parts does not affect the overall system. This contributes to safe operation, easy maintenance and long service life.

Example 196 [1389] The inorganic high heat transfer element can be used in agricultural plastic canopies, which apply the inorganic heat transfer technology and elements to transferring geothermal energy to the ground surface so as to allow the vegetables and fruit frees in the canopies keep growing in winter. [1390] Seasonal distinction in growing and supplying vegetables and fruit is becoming less significant along with the economic development and improved living standards. Existing plastic canopies for growing vegetables and fruit in winter must be heated by electricity or other means to maintain the required temperature. This approach has two disadvantages. First, it consumes electricity or thermal energy. Second, the temperature in the canopy drops when power or heat source failure occurs; thus, the growth of plants in the canopy is affected. [1391] The inorganic heat transfer agricultural plastic canopy heating system according to the present invention furnishes a plastic canopy with no power or thermal consumption. It is particularly useful in remote places where the electricity or heat cannot be supplied or where there is a lack of electricity or thermal energy.

[1392] FIG. 19C shows an inorganic high heat transfer agricultural plastic canopy heating system according to the present invention. The working process is described as follows. The canopy 1913 is closed before the winter comes. The inorganic heat fransfer element 1914 buried underground keeps sending geothermal energy to the surface ofthe ground. Puffy soil 1915 fransfers the thermal energy to the canopy 1913 to ensure that the temperature therein is higher than that outside.

Applications to Heat Exchange of Medical Treatment Apparatus

[1393] The following Example 197 shows an application ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to the heat exchange in medical treatment such as acupuncture instruments.

Example 197 [1394] The inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention can also be used to medical treatment apparatas. A hot/cold acupuncture instrument is one embodiment of applications. As a traditional Chinese medical treatment, the acupuncture is used to treat headache. It is also significantly useful for muscular relaxation and releasing other symptoms and is accepted and applied by the medical profession all over the world. An acupuncturist inserts a sterilized solid metal needle (mostly made of silver) into a patient's body, at the depth between several millimeters to several meters. The acupuncturist stimulates points where the needle is inserted by turning, shaking or pushing/pulling the needle for freatment. However, the acupuncture has less significant effect in treating diabetes, neuritis and glaucoma. The reason is that special hot/cold stimulation must be applied to these parts while fraditional needles cannot achieve it. Thermoelectric hot/cold acupuncture instruments are usually used with a thermoelecfric thermostatic controller in associated with a thermopile for the cold or hot sources. The cooling instruments with single-level thermopile can reach the temperature between -30°C and -50°C (depending on the temperature ofthe cooling liquid). The temperature can be -60°C to -80°C if a secondary level thermopile is used. The heating temperature can be up to 100°C . The instrument has the following disadvantages: complex stracture, little cooling capacity and expensive; accidents tend to occur due to the discrepancy in the temperature between the tip and the end ofthe needle. The hot/cold acupuncture instrument made ofthe inorganic heat transfer material ofthe present invention succeeds in eradicating the aforesaid disadvantages.

[1395] FIG. 20A is a schematic drawing showing an ordinary inorganic heat fransfer hot/cold acupuncture instrument according to the present invention. The inorganic high heat transfer element 2001 is formed in a needled shape. A cavity is formed between the tip and a round heat-insulating handle 2003 and is filled with the heat/cold storage medium 2002 according to various needs. A rear cover 2004 is screwed to the heat-insulating handle 2003. When treating patients, the acupuncturist inserts the needle 2001 into the patients' skin. The temperature of the heat/cold storage medium 2002 is that ofthe needle tip because ofthe heat fransfer characteristic ofthe present inorganic heat transfer technology. It enhances the treatment by stimulating the point to be treated with desired heat and coldness.

[1396] FIG. 20B is a schematic view showing an electric-heating inorganic heat fransfer hot/cold acupuncture instrument with a controller according to the present invention. The apparatas can be used for the acupuncture treatment requiring higher temperature. A sealed cavity is formed between the needle tip 2008 and inorganic heat transfer pipe element 2007. An elecfric heating cone 2006 with an elecfric insulating surface is embedded into and in close contact with the inorganic heat fransfer pipe element 2007. A controller 2009 connected with elecfric wires and conductive wires 2005 confrols the heating temperature. When treating the patients, the acupuncturist inserts the needle 2001 into the patients' skin. The heat pf the elecfric heating cone 2006 is transferred to the point to be treated through the inorganic heat transfer pipe element 2007 and the needle tip 2008 because ofthe thermostatic heat transfer feature ofthe present inorganic heat transfer technology. It improves the treatment by stimulating the point to be treated with thermostatic heat.

Applications of Heat Exchange to Electric Mechanic Equipment [1397] The following Examples 198 to 199 show the applications ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to the heat exchange in elecfric mechanic apparatas, such as target furnaces, indusfrial exhaust recycling apparatas and vibrating dust removing heat exchangers.

Example 198

[1398] The inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention can be used in target furnaces to target the temperature sensors. [1399] FIG. 20C shows an inorganic heat conducting target fumace according to the present invention. Applying the inorganic heat fransfer technology and elements, the furnace is easy to use with good thermostatic performance and accuracy. The target furnace comprises a working cavity 2014, an electric heater 2015, an inorganic heat fransfer element 2012 and a gas box. The lower part of the inorganic heat transfer element 2012 is heated externally while the upper part ofthe element is connected with the gas box, which is kept thermostatic by a mixture of ice and water. The drawing shows the ice cubes 2011 and a thermal insulating layer 2010 outside the gas box.

[1400] A plurality of tabes with one end sealed are plugged into the inorganic heat fransfer element. The gap between the tabes and the inorganic heat transfer element is the working cavity 2014. A connecting pipe 2013 connects the inorganic heat fransfer element in the gas box and that in the working cavity. Another thermal insulating layer 2016 is provided outside the working cavity. This structure controls the temperature deviation in the working cavity within a very small range.

Example 199 [1401] The inorganic high heat transfer element of the present invention can be used in electric mechanical equipment. An inorganic heat transfer vibrating dust-removing heat exchanger is one embodiment ofthe applications. [1402] The inorganic heat transfer heat exchangers serve as a new method of heat exchange in industrial production. They can be used for heat exchange between two media, particularly the gas phase media. The typical application is for recycling the afterheat from industrial exhaust. The hot exhaust contains dust in usual indusfrial conditions. Dust may seriously affect the heat efficiency ofthe heat exchanger due to dust incrastation between the fins in the inorganic heat transfer element. The present soot blowers, such as steam soot-blowing, compressed gas blowing and impulse blowing are used to reduce the impact of incrustation on the efficiency ofthe heat exchangers. To enhance soot-blowing, the blowing apparatas should be installed on the heat exchanger to make the dust fall from the inorganic heat transfer element by high pressure, air, steam or impulse waves produced by explosion. This approach needs a compressed ventilator. The heat efficiency ofthe inorganic heat transfer element decreases due to increased dust incrustation when the apparatas stops blowing the dust. The heat fransfer rate decreases significantly when the amount ofthe dust is large and the dust is small and sticky. It is thus necessary to blow the dust frequently to maintain good heat transfer rate. However, frequent soot blowing reduces the heat transfer rates ofthe heat exchanger.

[1403] The inorganic heat transfer dust removing heat exchanger ofthe present invention uses the inorganic heat fransfer elements for heat exchange. Removing dust by mechanical vibration, the apparatas avoids the aforesaid technical drawbacks and improves the heat exchange efficiency ofthe heat exchanger by removing the dust incrastation on the elements and fins in an easy and efficient way.

[1404] As FIG. 20D shows, the inorganic heat transfer vibrating dust removing heat exchanger comprises a box 2028, an inorganic heat transfer element 2027 and an intermediate partition 2034 as the support ofthe inorganic heat fransfer element. It also includes a spherical seal 2033, a vibrating plate 2019, a vibration-transmission guiding rod 2017 and a compressive spring 2023, which are situated between the inorganic heat transfer element and the intermediate partition 2034 to allow the inorganic heat fransfer element to swing in a certain conical angle that is vertical to the intermediate partition and seal the cavity. It further includes a vibrating apparatas to cause vibration on the inorganic heat transfer element and a balancing apparatas that keeps the element in balance. The inorganic heat fransfer element produces forced vibration by taking the spherical seal on the intermediate partition as a static fulcrum. [1405] The operational theory ofthe present invention is described as follows. [1406] A spherical insulating ring 2037 is welded to the middle ofthe inorganic heat transfer element 2027, which penefrates the intermediate partition 2034. A lug base 2035 with an indented half sphere is provided in a hole ofthe intermediate partition. The inorganic heat fransfer element goes through the half protuberant sphere on the cenfral hole ofthe lug base. The insulating ring sticks closely to the half indented sphere in dynamic coupling to form a spherical seal 2033. Relying upon the seal, the inorganic heat fransfer element may swing within the conical angle situated on its central line. There are two ring grooves 2036 on the half protuberant sphere on the insulating ring, in which ring-shaped fill is embedded to prevent exhaust on the heat side from leaking into the clean medium on the cold side.

[1407] Bearing sleeve 2030 is installed closely on both ends ofthe inorganic heat transfer element to prevent the element from damage in forced vibration and extends the service life thereof. The heat sink end ofthe element goes through a compressive spring (tower type) 2032 and stretches out ofthe hole on the angle steel 2031, which is used as the base ofthe compressive spring. The diameter of the holes on the angle steel 2031 is slightly larger than the external diameter ofthe bearing sleeve. The bottom ofthe compressive spring 2032 fits in the centering loop welded to outside the angle steel hole. The top ofthe compressive spring envelops the base ofthe first fin at the end ofthe element as the angle steel 2031 collects the elements at the same horizontal position as an element module. Several inorganic heat transfer elements on various horizontal positions form inorganic heat fransfer element modules ofthe heat exchanger. Both ends ofthe horizontal angel steels are screwed tightly to the vertical angle steel 2029 on the inner wall ofthe heat transfer box 2028.

[1408] A vibrating plate 2019 is installed near the hot side of the heat exchanger. A hole slightly bigger than the bearing sleeve is arranged on the vibrating plate according to the intermediate partition hole. The heat source end bearing sleeve ofthe element goes through the hole as the vibrating plate collects the inorganic heat fransfer elements together. There are two axle pins 2021 on the vibrating plate while there are two vibration-transmission guiding rods 2017 at the bottom ofthe plate. The axle pins and the guiding rods are tightly connected with the vibrating plate by screwing the welded plate connector. The vibrating plate is installed in parallel with the intermediate partition. The axle pin on the top ofthe plate goes through the bush and seal ring 2022 on the external casing ofthe heat exchanger box. The top ofthe axle ofthe compressive spring 2023 is made as spiral ridges and two adjusting screw caps 2024 are used to adjust and fasten the compressive spring 2023. The vibration-transmission guiding rod 2017 at the bottom ofthe vibrating plate goes through the bush and seal ring 2018 on the outer casing in the bottom ofthe heat exchanger with the end thereof being connected with the source of vibration. The axle pins 2021 and compressive spring 2023 are used to bear the load ofthe vibrating plate so that the two screw caps 2024 should be adjusted before connecting the vibration-transmission guiding rod and the source of vibration together. The compressive spring supports the vibrating plate and keeps it at a proper height with distortion force produced by compression. Consequently, the inorganic transfer elements do not bear significant force for going through the holes on the vibrating plate. The vibration-transmission guiding rod should bear no force along the axis thereof when connected to the source of vibration. A space is reserved between the vibrating plate and the box so that the vibration does not contact the box. When the vibration produced by the source travels to the vibrating plate through the connected vibration-transmission guiding rod, the plate strikes the bearing sleeve so that the element produces vibration with the spherical seal on the partition as a fulcrum. The amplitude, frequency and duration ofthe vibration may be adjusted in light ofthe concenfration ofthe dust in the exhaust and the nature ofthe dust remover. The heat source end must be above the heat sink end in installation and operation since the dust-removing heat exchanger applies the inorganic heat fransfer technology. The apparatus should be 5~15 ° upward inclined to maintain the best heat transfer effect.

Applications of Heat Exchange to Thermostatic Apparatus [1409] The following embodiments 200 to 208 use the heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to the heat exchange in thermostatic apparatas, such as artificial crystal growing thermostat box, ventilating system, air cleaners, indoor air exchangers, air conditioners, ventilators in the air conditioning system, thermostatic controlling systems, fermentation thermostat controllers, thermostatic equipment, biochemical reaction thermostats, geothermal collecting systems, urban heating systems, roadside snow melting systems, thermostats, quartz growing thermostat confrol apparatus, thermostats, star thermostat devices, air conditioners and integrated energy-saving air conditioners.

Example 200 [1410] The inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention can also be used in thermal insulating apparatas. This embodiment furnishes a kind of apparatas for keeping the temperature of an artificial crystal growing thermostat boxes. Adopting the inorganic heat fransfer technology and elements, the apparatas provides good temperature environment for crystal growing. Artificial crystal is widely applied to the optical data processing and storage, color laser display, laser work, laser freatment and high temperature semiconductor while the cultivation ofthe artificial crystal is a bottleneck ofthe technical development in the field. It is very important to confrol the temperature ofthe crystal-growing furnace in the process of artificial crystal cultivation. The present crystal growing apparatas such as crucible rotation, descent approach and Czochralski method adopts intermediate frequency induction or resistance wire as a heating method. Temperature control, such as thermal insulation and thermostat, lies in empirical approaches. It is well known that most materials for preparing crystal have high fusion point. Crystal growing is hot gas and solid phase reaction so it demands high reactive temperature. If the temperature is not controlled properly in the process of crystal growing, it is rarely to produce high quality large-size crystal since the crystal grows very slowly and significant defect such as wrapped structure may occur.

[1411] The inorganic heat fransfer element ofthe present invention features thermostatic and offers nearly thermostatic temperature environment for the crystal growth.

[1412] FIG. 21A shows an artificial crystal growing thermostat box. The apparatas is placed on a lifting mechanism 2106. The crucible is wrapped with a thermal insulating layer 2105. The thermal insulating layer 2105 is enveloped with a zirconium oxide insulation cap. Inorganic heat transfer medium 2101 in the ring cavity starts working when the electric heater 2103 is powered on. The heat from the heater 2103 fravels to the insulation cap 2104 around the crucible 2102 to provide the crystal growing with proper temperature environment.

Example 201 [1413] The inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention can also be used in ventilating equipments. This embodiment is a home energy- saving ventilation system.

[1414] Due to limits of indoor air cleaners, the existing indoor air cleaners can hardly be regarded as effective solutions. As the problem of degrading air quality is getting more serious, there is an urgent need for an effective way to improve indoor air quality. The best way is actually the simplest traditional approach, i.e. improving indoor ventilation. The approach improves the indoor air quality by continuously supplying fresh air and extracting the air with poor quality at the same time. The improvement of ventilation should also reduce the energy consumption and avoid causing too much difference in indoor temperature (when there is large temperature gradient inside and outside the room). Huge changes in the indoor temperature due to ventilation may cause uncomfortable feeling and health problems while resuming the temperature increases the energy consumption. The ventilating system ofthe present invention is mainly used for ventilation and air exchange. It has two additional functions other than ventilation. First, it separates and removes the dust in the air coming from outdoors for ventilation with high performance in filtering material. In other words, it serves as an air cleaner. Second, it provides air exchange by making the incoming and outgoing airflows exchange heat with each other when the former forces the latter out ofthe room. As FIGS. 21 C and 21D show, when the indoor temperature is higher than the outdoor one, hot air outside enters the room through the ventilating system and fransfers the heat to the cold air indoors, which is forced out. The temperature ofthe incoming air drops since the outgoing cold air takes the heat outdoors, and vice versa. As the ventilator keeps working, the indoor air and outdoor air continue exchanging to achieve proper indoor air quality. It does not cause great changes in the indoor temperature. This ventilating system achieves two-way heat exchange and ventilation. When extracting the indoor air, the ventilator filters the outdoor air and sends it into the room. Turning wheel heat recovery apparatas stabilizes the indoor temperature by providing a heat exchange rate of 68%. The inorganic high heat fransfer element is adopted to enhance high performance heat exchange as stated above. [1415] FIG. 21E is a partially sectional view of an inorganic heat transfer enclosed radiator for elecfronic controllers. It comprises an inorganic heat transfer base pipe 2112, an aluminum piece 2113 and a partition 2114. The inorgamc heat transfer element is placed within the box (see FIG. 2 ID) to facilitate the heat exchange between indoor air and outdoors air. Since the connection ofthe casing and the radiator adopts a sealed stracture, all the heat dissipation is finished independently and externally. Consequently, the ventilating system exfracts the dirty air from the room to outdoors while the fresh air outdoors comes in. It cleans the air in the room by ventilation without any heat loss.

Example 202 [1416] The inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention can also be used in ventilating systems. This embodiment is related to a complex building energy-saving ventilation system.

[1417] The stracture of buildings varies according to social and natural environments. The more firmly a building is sealed, the more it demands for ventilating systems, which require greater capacity along with higher energy consumption. By using the inorganic transfer technology and elements, the present invention recycles the lost power in the building ventilation to reduce the power consumed by the air conditioning modules and save energy. [1418] Air-conditioning ventilating systems play an important role in buildings with large mobile population or other special conditions. As FIG. 21F shows, the inorganic heat transfer complex building energy-saving ventilation system 2118 recycles the energy carried by blast. After being freated by an air condition module 2117, the blast is directed to the ventilation opening in the canopy 2115 through the outlet pipes 2119 and goes into the room. The air in the room that is not fresh anymore should be ventilated. The ventilator drives the air to the air intake through a return air pipe 2120 and sends the air to the inorganic heat fransfer complex building ventilation system 2118 for energy exchange. The air is then discharged. The process repeats to achieve good indoor air circulation. [1419] The description above is the operating theory ofthe whole system. The following paragraphs explain the structure and operating theory ofthe inorganic heat transfer complex building ventilation system. The inorganic heat fransfer complex building ventilation system comprises an inorganic heat transfer heat exchange system and auxiliary equipments on the casing. The inorganic heat transfer system comprises an inorganic heat transfer pipe 2123, fins 2122 and a tabe sheet 2124. Auxiliary equipments on the casing includes a casing 2121, an intake ventilator 2125, a filter 2126 and an outlet ventilator 2127. [1420] Driven by the intake ventilator 2125 and the outlet ventilator 2127, fresh air goes into one side ofthe inorganic heat fransfer heat exchange system through the filter 2126 while the old air goes into the other side. The fresh air and old air fully exchanges the heat with each other by the inorganic heat fransfer pipe 2123. Then the old air is discharged while the fresh air goes indoors after being treated by the air condition module. Energy in the old air is fully recycled in the process since the inorganic heat fransfer pipe features high performance in heat fransfer and heat exchange.

Example 203 [1421] The inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention can also be used in thermostat controllers. This embodiment is a fermentation thermostat controller. It uses the inorganic heat fransfer technology and element ofthe present invention to create a thermostatic environment for the fermentation by reducing temperature fluctuation in the fermentation container. [1422] The container must be thermostatically controlled in fermentation to activate the yeast for better quality and production rates. The existing thermostatic approaches for the containers are preceded in the mixers or liquid circulation by flow conducting drums. The drawback of these approaches is that the yeast tends to be inactive due to difficulty in temperature confrol. [1423] As FIG. 21H shows, the present invention furnishes a fermentation thermostat controller 2128 featuring excellent thermostat control, simple structure and reliability. It comprises a jacket and an elecfric heater 2130. The jacket is filled with certain amount of inorganic heat fransfer medium 2129. When the electric heater 2130 is powered on, the inorganic heat transfer medium 2129 in the jacket transfers the heat rapidly around the fermentation container 2128. To confrol the temperature ofthe container 2128, one simply needs to adjust the input power ofthe electric heater 2130. Example 204 [1424] The inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention can also be used in biochemical equipments. The temperature of biochemical reaction should be strictly controlled and the reactor should have good thermostatic performance so as to keep the cells and the enzyme active in the biochemical process to achieve the best rate of reaction. The heat produced in biochemical reaction, which is normally exothermic, makes the temperature control ofthe reaction somewhat difficult. The container must be thermostatic for the biochemical reaction such as cell culture. The existing thermostatic approaches for the biochemical reactors are preceded in the mixers or liquid circulation by flow conducting drums. The drawback of these approaches is that the cells or the bacteria tend to be inactive due to difficulty in temperature control. This embodiment provides a biochemical reactor featuring high thermostatic performance, simple structure and reliability. By using the inorganic heat transfer technology, the apparatas creates a stable environment for the biochemical reaction by reducing the temperature fluctuation in the container of fermentation. [1425] FIG. 211 shows an inorganic heat transfer biotechnological thermostat device ofthe present invention. It comprises a jacket and an electric heater 2133. The jacket is filled with certain amount of inorganic heat transfer medium 2132. When the electric heater 2133 is powered on, the inorganic heat transfer medium 2129 in the jacket fransfers the heat rapidly around the reactor 2131. To control the temperature ofthe reactor 2131, one simply needs to adjust the input power of the electric heater 2133.

Example 205 [1426] The inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention can also be used to melt snow in cities. In other words, it creates an automatic snow- melting equipment to achieve a city that never gets frozen. [1427] Houses, streets and highways in cities in the North in winter tend to be covered by snow, which has great negative impact on the safety of automobiles 03/016811

and pedestrians due to uneven and slippery road surface. It also causes inconvenience in traveling and living since there is a thick layer of frozen soil and the piping networks tend to be broken. Thus removing the snow and keeping roadside and street clean and dry is not only a precondition of smooth and safe traffic, but also ensures reliable supply of various energies in the urban area. This is particularly important in the current thriving fraffic development for the freeway networks in modem cities. However, snow melting on streets, highways and underground piping involves broad snow area, great heat consumption and low heat transfer efficiency. It will waste a great amount of power if the high- grade energy is used. It is also difficult to apply the ordinary heating equipment. Thus, the problems of snow melting in the urban area can hardly be solved in terms of either the structure ofthe equipment or proper use of energy. [1428] The Earth has been providing living creatures with endless and free geothermal energy since it came to existence. Like solar energy, it is one ofthe cheapest green energies that human beings can acquire easily. It is not poisonous, not harmful, of great amount and easy to get. The present invention is related to automatic snow-melting equipment using the geothermal energy as a heat source in association with the thermostatic nature ofthe inorganic heat fransfer elements. FIG.21 J shows an inorganic heat transfer roadside heating system. It is described in detail as follows.

[1429] It is generally understood that the temperature inside the earth rises with the depth. The temperature ofthe soil under more than 7m from the surface is almost constant around the year. It is roughly the same with the average annual temperature, usually between 10°C and 14°C at the depth of 7-20 meters. This is regarded as one ofthe idea green environmental-sensitive heat source used for melting snow. The heat fransported by the inorganic heat fransfer elements achieves the automatic snow melting or anti-freezing in the cities to ensure driving and pedestrian safety and normal power supply.

[1430] The inorganic heat fransfer urban heating system is invented according the aforesaid theory. The heat source, which is hereby referred as heat collecting segment 2134, is used for snow melting and it can be either geothermal water or soil 2142. Ice, snow or frozen soil on the roadside or street is the cold source, which is also referred as heat-receiving segment 2136. One end ofthe inorganic heat transfer element is connected to the heat source while the other end is connected to the cold source. With great heat fransfer and thermostatic performance, it carries the heat of several or dozens of meters in depth underground to the street and highway on the surface to melt the snow. In fact, the inorganic heat fransfer pipe elements plugged into the geothermal water or soil are the core ofthe geothermal snow-melting facilities. First, they fransfer the heat between the heat-collecting segment and the heat-receiving segment. Second, they can transfer the heat continuously to the ground surface under thermal insulation. Third, the heat is collected from the geothermal water or soil at the heat-collecting segment 2134 while the heat-receiving segment 2136 transfers the heat to the snow.

[1431] As FIG. 21 shows, the ribs 2141 should be used to wind around the surface ofthe heat fransfer pipe element 2140 at the heat-collecting segment 2134. The ribs 2141 are also used to wind around the heat-receiving segment 2136. The reason for doing this is that the heat transfer coefficient between the soil and the inorganic high heat transfer element is relatively low and it is not easy to collect the heat from the static soil 2142 as the heat source. Thus, the ribs are added to the present invention to increase the heat fransfer area. When the heat source is fluid, such as seawater, river and hot spring, the inorganic heat fransfer pipes at the heat-collecting segment 2134 can have no ribs because that the flowing water features better continuous heat supply, the heat transfer coefficient between the hot water and the inorganic heat fransfer element is larger and it is easier to collect heat.

[1432] In order to reduce the heat losses in the transfer process and improve the heat utilization rate, the present invention applies good thermal insulating material to the heat transmitting end ofthe inorganic heat transfer element 2138. That is, an insulated thermal insulating layer 2139 provided at the heat-insulating segment 2135 is necessary. [1433] The cooling segment 2137 is exactly where the snow is heated and melted. The inorganic high heat transfer element at heat-receiving segment 2136 must fransfer all the collected heat to the frozen surface on the roadside or street. Similar to the soil heat supply, the ribs must be added to the inorganic heat transfer elements at this segment since the heat fransfer coefficient between the elements and the snow/frozen soil on the roadside is small. [1434] The process of collecting, carrying and transferring the geothermal energy is repeated until the snow on the roadside is melted. [1435] The geothermal snow-melting apparatas ofthe present invention applies the inorganic heat transfer elements with gravity-type structure without a tabular core. They have automatic locking function so as to stop working when the temperature on the ground is higher than that ofthe soil. Thus, there is no heat loss caused by reversed heat transfer in summer.

[1436] A combination of heat collection, heat transfer and heat dissipation, the inorganic heat fransfer elements utilize the geothermal energy for non-manual snow-melting for roadsides and sidewalks in the city. These elements melt the snow by transferring the geothermal energy from several and dozens of meters underground to achieve automatic snow melting with no energy consumption. It not only serves as a new way of utilizing the natural energy but also ensures the fraffic safety for automobiles and pedesfrians in winter. The cheap and high performance apparatas keeps melting the snow automatically in various weather conditions.

[1437] The invention can be applied to the cities where the frozen streets and roadsides threaten the driving safety and pedestrians' safety. Proper modification should be made in operation since the depth and the structure ofthe heat elements vary with geographic locations, climate and the form and temperature of geothermal sources in different cities.

Example 206

[1438] The inorganic heat fransfer element ofthe present invention can be used in thermostat controlling devices. This example is a kind ofthe thermostat apparatus for controlling the temperature of quartz growth . Adopting the inorganic heat fransfer technology and elements, the simple and reliable apparatus provides good temperature environment for quartz growth. [1439] It is very important to control the temperature ofthe quartz-growing fumace in the process of quartz growth. The existing crystal growing apparatas such as crucible rotation and elevating approach adopts intermediate frequency induction or resistance wire for heating. The temperature control measures include thermal insulation and pressure resistance thermostat. [1440] The rapid development of laser, electricity, electronics, instruments and materials science contributes to wide applications of quartz products to optical data processing and storage, color laser display, laser work, laser treatment, high temperature semiconductor, precise instruments and fire-proof materials. However, how to produce quality crystal and products with high quality is still a bottleneck in the technical field.

[1441] Quartz products include quartz sand, silica sand, silica, quartzite, fused quartz powder, silica flour and natural crystal powder. Raw materials used to prepare these products tend to have high fusion point. Quartz growth is hot and pressurized gas and solid phase reaction and demands higher reactive temperature. If the temperature is not controlled properly in the process of quartz growth, it is very unlikely to produce large-size quality quartz products since the quartz may grow very slowly, and significant defect such as wrapped structure may occur. [1442] FIG. 21K shows a thermostat apparatas for a quartz growing thermostat box adopting the inorganic heat transfer technology. The main theory is that the inorganic heat transfer element ofthe present invention is thermostatic in hot environment so it offers almost constant temperature environment for quartz growth. The apparatus comprises a quartz growing box, an elevator 2148 and a bearing elevating platform 2147. A thermal insulating shield 2144 is provided to cover the quartz growing box. The working process is described as follows. After the sensitive elecfric heater 2146 is powered on, the inorganic heat transfer medium 2143 in the loop cavity ofthe heated furnace transfers the heat inputted by the electric heater to around the wall ofthe quartz growing box, so as to provide proper temperature environment for the quartz growth.

Example 207 [1443] The inorganic heat fransfer element can be used in satellite thermostat devices. This embodiment furnishes a thermostat device used inside a satellite. The thermostat device reduces the temperature difference between the northern and southern sides on the satellite. It can be applied to the satellites controlled by triaxle posture.

[1444] The stracture ofa static triaxle posture controlled satellite is described as follows. The northern and southern panels serve as the main exothermic and endothermic areas since the conditions are the most stable there. Accordingly, most heat sources inside the satellite are installed under the panels. The angle of incidence ofthe sun in different seasons varies and thus, the heat transfer capacity on the south panel 2149 and the north panel 2150 varies accordingly. The sun only hits the north panel 2150 from vernal equinox to autumnal equinox while it only hits the south panel2149 from autumnal equinox to vernal equinox. Several U-shaped inorganic heat transfer elements 2151 are installed on the south panel 2149 and the north panel 2150. As the drawing shows, these heat fransfer elements keep both panels thermostatic so that temperature in the satellite can be homogeneous in various seasons.

Example 208

[1445] The inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention can be used in thermostat apparatas. This embodiment provides an integrated energy- saving air conditioner. It saves energy and improves the indoor air quality by using the inorganic heat fransfer technology and elements ofthe present invention to enhance the heat exchange between the exhaust from the air conditioner and fresh air.

[1446] Ordinary air conditioners can only adjust the temperature and humidity. The best way to improve the air quality in air-conditioned rooms is to 03/016811

ventilate the air. Traditional air conditioners cannot achieve good air quality and save energy at the same time because ofthe coldness/heat leak during ventilation. [1447] This is possible, however, if the heat can be recycled when the ventilated air and the fresh air fully exchange the heat with each other. [1448] FIG.21M shows a schematic view of an inorganic heat fransfer integrated and power-saving air conditioner. By using temperature difference between the ventilated air and the fresh air in the room, the air conditioner carries coldness (in summer) or heat (in winter) ofthe ventilated air to the fresh air. The drawing shows the operating process ofthe present invention in which the fresh air enters the room through the heat exchanging apparatas. This reduces the load ofthe indoor air conditioner and saves a considerable amount of energy. The power-saving air conditioner is required to have higher heat efficiency and lower pressure losses when the temperature difference between the air-conditioned room and the environment is small (less than 20 degrees in summer and less than 35 degrees in winter). The integrated power-saving air conditioner makes the most ofthe advantages ofthe inorganic heat transfer elements such as rapid heat transfer and great axial heat transfer capability.

Heat Exchange Applications to Chemical Engineering Apparatus [1449] The following Example 209 shows an application ofthe heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to the heat exchange in chemical engineering apparatas, such as the thermostat device for petroleum chemical equipment and cracking furnaces.

Example 209

[1450] The inorganic heat fransfer element ofthe present invention can be used in petrochemical industry. For example, the thermostatic feature ofthe inorganic heat transfer pipes is used to satisfy the requirements of high temperature, intensive heat absorbance, homogenous temperature distribution, short material staying time and low arene partial pressure in arene hot cracking. [1451] FIG. 21B shows an inorganic heat fransfer cracking fumace according to the present invention. The key point thereof lies in adopting the inorganic heat fransfer technology and elements ofthe present invention. The inorganic high fransfer element ensures safety in use with the features of high heat transfer capability, excellent thermostatic effect and independent, adjustable heat fransfer areas in the sink/source end for modifying the heat flux density. Based on the present invention, the inorganic heat transfer cracking furnace comprises the following parts (see FIG. 21B): an morganic heat fransfer tube 2107, a furnace chamber 2108, a smoke enfrance connector 2109, a cracked gas access pipe 2110 and a tabe sheet 2111. As shown in the figure, the rectangular fumace chamber with openings on the left and right thereof is divided into an upper section and a lower section by the tabe sheet 2111 in the middle. The upper section is the heat sink end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer tube 2107 while the lower section is the heat source end. The inorganic high heat fransfer tabe 2111 penetrates the tabe sheet 2111 vertically and is arranged as a triangle. In operation, the cracked gas vertically crosses the heat sink end ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer tabe while the hot smoke from the burner and the fresh air cross the heat source end of the tabe in counter movement. The inorganic high heat transfer medium then transfers heat from the hot smoke to the upper section ofthe inorganic high heat fransfer tabe (that heat sink end) to keep the wall and fins ofthe tabe thermostatic. This provides perfect conditions for the cracking reaction, in which the gas is cracked after absorbing the heat.

Heat Transfer Element System

Heat Transfer Element System of Agriculture and Fishery

[1452] The following Example 210 shows an application ofthe heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to agriculture and fishery so that the coupled elements can improve the heat exchange. Applications include plant heating apparatas and fishery heating system. Example 209 [1453] The inorganic high heat transfer element of the present invention can be used in agriculture and fishery. This embodiment illustrates a plant heating apparatus and a fishery heating system.

[1454] It is well known that solar energy and geothermal energy is clean, environmental friendly and always available in nature. Both are not poisonous, not harmful, of great amount and easy to get. They provide living creatures on earth with free low-grade thermal energy in the form of light and heat. Plants in the northern region can hardly grow similar to those in the southern region due to geographic location. It is cold in fields in the northern region during winter as the soil is frozen. Traditional one sowing season per year can no longer fulfill the demand in a growing society with increasing population. In order to improve the utilization ofthe soil and the production rate, greenhouse planting, represented by canopies, has been rapidly developing in the northern region recently. This approach makes possible of sowing throughout the year in the northern region by extending the growth cycle of plants, however, it still has problems with heating for the canopies in winter.

[1455] Canopies usually belong to different people and it is difficult to manage them as a unit, users tend to heat them with traditional methods such as burning wood or leaves or small coal boilers. This increases the number of boilers, lowers the fuel use rates, and increases energy consumption, productive costs and intensive labor. Consequently, smoke becomes everywhere in farming areas, where the air quality supposed to be good with little pollution. Although solar and geothermal energy features infinite supply, there has not been any simple and workable method of heating canopies except heating the wall by sunlight since the energy is low grade.

[1456] FIG. 22A shows a plant growing canopy heating system, which applies the inorganic transfer elements to improve the solar absorbance and makes the most of geothermal energy. The apparatas solves the heating problems ofthe canopy by using the solar and geothermal energy, which is cheap, clean and environmental friendly, for energy conversion. This embodiment avoids the direct/indirect combustion of fuel such as oil, gas, coal and wood, it neither wastes raw materials nor pollutes the air. It also reduces low-temperature hot gas, which causes heat pollution to the environment.

[1457] The integrated inorganic heat transfer heating apparatas combines a solar energy system and a geothermal system. It comprises an inorganic solar water heater 2203, a geothermal water heater 2208 and an air radiator 2206. Other auxiliary devices include a water storage 2209, a pump 2210, a supply pipe 2201, a water intake valve 2202, a water outlet valve 2204 and a solar collector 2205.

[1458] As FIG. 22A shows, the inorganic heat fransfer element heating apparatas ofthe present invention may be a solar or a geothermal system. The circulating medium is water. The inorganic heat transfer heat collector 2205 collects the solar energy to heat the water in the solar water heater 2203. The heated water is sent into the air radiator 2206 as a heat source in the canopy 2207 for vegetable planting. Geothermal energy 2212 may be hot springs, preferably, or it may also be river, sea or soil deep underground. The inorganic tabe type heat transfer element 2211 collects the heat form the aforesaid sources and transfers it to the water in the geothermal water heater 2208. The heated water is also sent into the air radiator 2206 as another heat source for the canopy 2207. In the canopy 2207 for vegetable planting, the heat carried by warm water goes to the air through the inorganic heat fransfer air radiator 2206 having ribs thereon to provide the proper temperature for plant growing.

[1459] Two water intake and outlet switch valves are added to the process to fully receive and use the solar energy and properly collect and accumulate the geothermal energy. By doing this, the solar energy or the geothermal energy is used by turns, depending on availability of light. The apparatas uses the solar energy mainly at daytime or in sunny days while the geothermal energy is stored. When the solar energy decreases at night-time or in cloudy days, the geothermal system is activated for heating. The cycle repeats so as to provide consistent heating for the canopy and let the plants grow well around the year. [1460] The inorganic heat fransfer elements play an important role in the collection, transfer and dissipation ofthe heat in both the solar and geothermal water heaters. Keeping the water circulation system unblocked is also important in operation. The combination ofthe inorganic heat fransfer elements, which feature high heat transfer and homogenous temperature disfribution, and the circulating water achieves the heat conversion between low-grade natural energy and the heat source for the canopy in an economical way. [1461] The solar collector applies vacuum heat collectors in the structure. It has better performance in terms of tracking and receiving the solar energy from the radiating beams in various directions. Since the inorganic high heat fransfer elements have the high-speed heat transfer, the heat received at the heat-collecting segment is soon fransferred to the water in the heat-receiving segment. This promotes the utilization rate ofthe received solar energy to a great extent. [1462] When the heat source ofthe geothermal water heater is hot spring or other water sources, the heating end ofthe inorganic heat transfer element can be without ribs since it is easier to collect and transport the heat. When soil is the heat source, however, ribs should be added to the heating end on the inorganic heat transfer element since it is relatively difficult to collect the heat. [1463] The inorganic high heat fransfer elements in the aforesaid systems adopt a gravity-type structure without a tabular core so that they are locked automatically when it is cloudy or the temperature at the heating segment is lower than that at the cooling segment at night. This avoids heat losses in the canopy caused by sending the heat outside.

[1464] FIG. 22B is a schematic drawing ofthe workflow of an inorganic heat fransfer fishery heating system according to the present invention. It is basically similar to that shown FIG. 22A. The only difference is that FIG. 22A shows a canopy for vegetable planting while FIG. 22B shows a fishery heating system. This embodiment heats the pond 2219 by a pound heater 2218 instead ofthe air radiator 2206, which is used to heat the canopy 2207 in the former embodiment. Other devices such as a supply pipe 2213, a water intake valve 2214, a solar energy water heater 2215, a water outlet valve 221 , an inorganic tube type solar , _Λ ,_{OΛ Λ} 03/016811

collector 2217, a geothermal water heater 2220, a water storage 2221, a pump 2222, a tube heat transfer element 2223 and a geothermal energy 2224 correspond with those parts shown in FIG. 22A. The present invention shortens the growing period of fishery creatures and improves the fishery productivity by successfully solving the problems of heating for fishery pounds in winter.

Applications to Heat Transfer Element Systems of Electronic or Electric

Appliance

[1465] The following Example 211 shows an application of coupling the heat transfer elements ofthe present invention to the heat exchanger, such as dehydrators in electronic or electric appliances.

Example 211 [1466] The inorganic high heat transfer element ofthe present invention can also be used in dehydration apparatus. This embodiment is related to a dehydrator.

[1467] Too much humidity in the air tends to cause poor product quality in some cases. Hence, it is necessary to lower the humidity in the air by certain dehydration apparatas. By adopting the inorganic high heat fransfer elements and elements ofthe present invention, the dehydrator can solve the problem effectively.

[1468] As FIG. 23 A shows, the inorganic heat transfer dehydrator comprises four parts, namely a cooling and moisture trapping system 2301, heating system 2309, semiconductor cold production system 2308 and fan 2310. The cooling and moisture trapping system 2301 comprises a drain 2302, a water collecting tank 2303, a radiating fin 2304, an inorganic heat transfer element 2305 and a heat filler 2306. The heating system 2309 is the same with the cooling and moisture trapping system 2301. The semiconductor cold production system 2308 comprises a power interface 2307, a semiconductor cold production system and an electric controlling system. The user can choose the ventilating capacity ofthe whole system according to the amount of moisture to be dehydrated. [1469] There are many ways of dehydration. For instance, absorbing chemicals may be used to collect the moisture in the air. However, the problem of recycling the used chemicals and providing new chemicals can hardly be overcome in a continuous and repetitive dehydration process, . The usual process of dehydration is described as follows. First, the air becomes over supersaturated after cooling. Then, the air becomes saturated as surplus moisture goes out. Finally, the air is heated to the original temperature so it becomes unsaturated. The inorganic heat transfer dehydrator applies the same operational theory. The working process includes: the semiconductor cold production system 2308 and the fan 2310 start operation after being powered on. The temperature on the cold area ofthe semiconductor cold production element drops while that on the hot area rises. The cold area rapidly carries the coldness to the inorganic heat fransfer element 2305 through the heat fransfer surface. Then the heat transfer element 2305 distributes the coldness and to the radiating fins 2304. The fan drives the air with moisture through the radiating fins 2304 for cooling and dehydration. The hot surface carries the heat to the heating system 2309 in the same way. The cooled and dehydrated air is then heated to normal temperature when it goes through the heating system 2309 so as to unsaturated it. The apparatas dehydrates the air in the environment by reducing its relative humidity in the repetitive and cycled process stated above.

Applications to Heat Transfer System in Daily Products

[1470] The following Example 212 shows an application of coupling the heat fransfer elements ofthe present invention to the heat exchange in daily products such as an inorganic heat transfer geothermal cooling system.

Example 212

[1471] The inorganic high heat fransfer element ofthe present invention can be used in daily products. This embodiment is related to an inorganic geothermal cooling system. [1472] The modem agricultural technology provides a variety of foods products. Hence, surplus fruits and vegetables should be stored soon. People gradually develop a fine taste about the fruits and vegetables because of rising living standards. They can no longer feel satisfied with the food stored at room temperature. Keeping stored fruits and vegetables fresh by retaining their nutrition and moisture has become the mainstream of storage technique. [1473] The current storage techniques includes low-temperature refrigeration, chemicals or both. The chemical spray destroys the nutrition of fruits and vegetables and introduces new pollution. This approach does not genuinely keep food fresh from the environmental perspective. On the contrary, cold temperature refrigeration becomes increasingly popular since it is environmental friendly. [1474] Various tests show that the best temperature of low temperature refrigeration is around 5°C . The growth and respiration ofthe plants slows down but does not stop at this temperature. They taste good because ofthe moisture contained therein which is not frozen.

[1475] Actually, the earth is a thermostatic refrigerator. The temperature deeper than 7 meters under the ground surface is above the average temperature at the local area around the year. For example, the temperature at this depth in Northeast China is around 10°C all the time. If the heat can be recycled in winter and discharged in summer, the temperature in the refrigerator can be maintained at 5°C with very little energy consumption. The problem is that it is difficult to access geothermal energy in the deep stratum in winter and discharge the heat in summer.

[1476] The present invention uses the inorganic heat transfer element with excellent thermostatic performance and axial transmission capability to access the geothermal energy in winter. The food is refrigerated by means ofa cooling machine in summer.

[1477] As stated above, the cooling refrigeration system ofthe present invention includes a winter system and a summer system. [1478] The temperature in winter is usually below 0°C in some regions. Even if the refrigerator has perfect cooling performance, there is still a need for 03/016811

supplying the heat to keep the temperature in the refrigerator at 5°C (the most preferable), otherwise the refrigerator cannot keep food fresh. The inorganic heat transfer element is the best choice for a geothermal collector because ofthe high thermostatic performance and excellent heat transfer capability. When plugged into the soil underground, the element fransfers the geothermal energy from several to dozens meters underground to the refrigerator on the ground surface with no extra power consumption. See FIG. 23B for a schematic drawing of geothermal collection.

[1479] As FIG.23 B shows, when the temperature in the refrigerator 2313 is below 5°C in winter while the temperature in the soil 2211 is about 10°C . Since temperature in the lower part ofthe inorganic heat fransfer element 2312 is higher than that in the upper part, the heat keeps moving along the inner cavity ofthe inorganic heat transfer element 2312 into the refrigerator 2313. This makes up for heat losses in the refrigerator. The temperature difference between the soil 2311 and the refrigerator 2313 gradually becomes smaller in summer. When the temperature in the refrigerator is close to that under the ground, the inorganic heat fransfer element 2312 stops working since the temperature difference at both ends ofthe element is almost zero.

[1480] When the element 2312 is working, temperature of part of soil drops due to the outgoing heat. It forms a circulating supply as the heat keeps coming from surrounding soil to the apparatas since the area ofthe soil is much bigger than that of heat collection. The heat fransfer speed may be faster and better if groundwater or hot spring is available in the deep stratum. [1481] When the temperature in the refrigerator 2313 becomes above 5°C due to a rise in the environmental temperature, it should be controlled and adjusted by refrigerating machines and air conditioners. Hence, the secondary equipment ofa refrigerator should be a cold-producing machine, such as an ice-making machine. [1482] The inorganic heat transfer geothermal cooling system is an application of power-saving and environmental friendly technology. The heat transfer elements are plugged into the soil all together so there is no need for manual control. The use ofthe geothermal energy in winter is free of charge, with no pollution, no noise and no power consumption. The system achieves genuine food preservation and is superior to a full powered refrigerator even though the system does not work around the year.
