Develop a micro profile heat exchanger to recover heat from combustion exhaust. Develop a manufacturing processes for micro channel flow with minimal pressure losses.
Designed and developed a heat exchanger core test rig to validate the analytical and thermo mechanical goals of the program. Used as a proof of concept sub scale prototype for power generation from a 25MW demonstration system.
The goals of this project were to design, build, instrument and test a recuperator and hot source heat exchangers that are integral components of a 10 mW energy storage system. Brayton provided development milestones, a test rig and …
