Patent CA-2469648-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAISOTSENKO VALERIY
IPC: F24F1/0087
Filed: 2002-12-11
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for indirect evaporative cooling of a fluid stream (1) to substantially its dew point temperature. Plate heat exchanger has perforations (11) and dry channels (3, 4) for fluid stream (1) and working gas (2) on a dry side, and wet channels (5) for working gas (2) on a wet side. There is a trough formed in a portion of the plate that temporarily holds evaporative fluid which is in contact with the wick material on the wet side surface of the plate. The evaporative fluid flows through the trough by way of liquid perforations into the next trough. The trough of a plate with a wet side up, the liquid perforations are on the side creating a reservoir to wet the opposing wick materials. As streams flow across the dry side (9), transferring heat to the plate. Working gas stream (2) flows across the dry side and through perforations to channels (5) on wet side (10), which it then cools by evaporative cooling as well as conductive and radiative transfer of heat from plate.

Abstract: A visor display apparatus for is supported on the head of a user, preferably on a helmet on the user's head. The apparatus comprises a support structure supported on the head of a user and supporting a viewing portion facing one of the eyes of the user.  The apparatus also includes a housing supporting therein an image display system. The image display system has three LEDs generating light, being red, green and blue. Plastic optical fibers are bonded to the LEDs and receive light from the LEDs, combining the three colors of light in a single output. A reflective display receives image data and forms an image therefrom. The output of the optical fibers transmits the light to the reflective display so that the light received from the LED is reflected by the reflective display to project the image. The apparatus further has optics receiving the projected image from the reflective display and transmitting said image to the viewing portion so as to be viewed by the user. A polarizing structure positioned intermediate the optical fiber and the reflective display permits passage of light therethrough having a first polarity and reflects light of the orthogonal polarity. The light from the optical fiber strikes the polarizing structure both before and after the light strikes the reflective display. In one instance the light is reflected by the polarizing structure and in the other instance the polarizing structure permits passage of light therethrough.
