BRAYTON ENERGY MANUFACTURES HEAT EXCHANGERS WITH NEXT-GEN NICKEL-BASED SUPERALLOYS

Brayton Energy is partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to manufacture and experimentally measure the mechanical properties of emerging high-temperature-capable materials in form factors suitable for novel heat exchanger applications. This US Department of
Energy funded effort seeks to examine the fundamental and practical thin-foil characteristics of Haynes® 282® alloy and Inconel® alloy 740H®, two materials that were developed to meet the needs of high efficiency Advance Ultra Super-Critical Steam Cycles and, more recently, supercritical CO2 power cycles.
