Description

Technology Assessment & Transfer, Inc. and subcontractors propose novel, high performance additive manufactured (AM) heat exchangers for military systems. The AM process will allow for conformal, lightweight designs that optimize use of available space. Design and modeling efforts in Phase I will identify enhanced heat transfer surfaces compatible with, and made possible by, an AM fabrication approach. A materials trade-off assessment will also be conducted to downselect a preferred material for further Phase I Option Period and Phase II development. A subscale heat exchanger test part will be fabricated in Phase I to prove feasibility of the proposed approach.
