HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM

摘要

A dynamic heat transfer system enables heat transfer between a coolant and a hot fluid. The system pumps the coolant through a coolant tube portion that passes through the fluid, and also forcibly impels the fluid over and through the coolant tube portion to maximize contact necessary for heat transfer. Maximizing exposure of the fluid to the coolant tube portion expedites cooling of the fluid. The fluid resides in a fluid container, such as a frying vat, and enters through a supply line form a coolant reservoir. The heat transfers from the hot fluid to the coolant through a conductive medium, which is the coolant tube portion. An impeller, driven by a drive shaft and motor, agitates the fluid around the coolant tube portion to maximize contact. The impeller creates low and high pressure zones that are regulated by a shroud for maximizing heat transfer.

1. A system comprising:
a coolant reservoir configured to contain a coolant; a fluid container configured to contain a fluid; an encompassing coolant tube portion configured to carry said coolant between said coolant reservoir and said fluid container, said encompassing coolant tube portion further configured to transfer heat from said fluid to said coolant; and an impeller configured to at least partially agitate said fluid, said impeller further configured to maximize contact between said fluid and said encompassing coolant tube portion for enhancing said transfer of heat from said fluid to said coolant.
