Abstract:
1. A stabilized heat exchange system for regulating the temperatures of both a first and second fluid leaving the heat exchange system, the system comprising: a heat exchanger wherein the first and second fluids are in adjacent, thermally-conductive contact facilitating heat transfer from the second fluid to the first fluid; the first fluid having a cool temperature when entering the heat exchanger and a warm temperature when exiting the heat exchanger; the second fluid condensing from a gas to a liquid within the heat exchanger, wherein relative proportions of the gas to the liquid within the heat exchanger are regulated by a second fluid control valve; the second fluid control valve in a downstream flow of the second fluid from heat exchanger for controlling the flow rate of the second fluid through the heat exchanger, wherein a proportion of the heat exchanger that is flooded with the liquid can be selectively calibrated; and a stabilization circuit having a proportion of the warm temperature first fluid exiting the heat exchanger re-circulating directly back into the heat exchanger where the warm temperature first fluid is admixed, in the heat exchanger, with first fluid having an intermediate temperature between the cool and warm temperatures.
