Design and Manufacturing of High Performance, Reduced Charge Heat Exchangers

1. Overview: 2. Background: Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems consume a significant portion of residential and commercial building energy. Reducing refrigerant charge to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is a crucial objective. Traditional heat exchangers (HXs) using round tubes and fins have limitations in performance improvement and require further miniaturization to meet reduced refrigerant

Ultra-large aluminum shape casting: Opportunities and challenges

Qi-gui Wang, Andy Wang & Jason Coryell  Abstract Ultra-large aluminum shape castings have been increasingly used in automotive vehicles, particularly in electric vehicles for light-weighting and vehicle manufacturing cost reduction. As most of them are structural components subject to both quasi-static, dynamic and cyclic loading, the quality and quantifiable performance of the ultra-large aluminum shape castings is critical

Influence of introducing Zr, Ti, Nb and Ce elements on externally solidified crystals and mechanical properties of high-pressure die-casting Al–Si alloy

Influence of introducing Zr, Ti, Nb and Ce elements on externally solidified crystals and mechanical properties of high-pressure die-casting Al–Si alloy

Keywords : aluminium alloy high Abstract High pressure die casting (HPDC) AlSi10MnMg alloy castings are widely used in the automobile industry. Mg can optimize the mechanical properties of castings through heat treatment, while the release of thermal stress arouses the deformation of large integrated die-castings. Herein, the development of non-heat treatment Al alloys is becoming
