Abstract:
Compact heat exchangers are desirable in many aerospace applications. New additive manufacturing approaches, such as 3D printing, have enabled heat exchanger geometries that cannot be fabricated using conventional approaches. The new geometries enabled by 3D printing result in more efficient heat transfer using more compact devices. However, the 3D printing process also imposes fabrication constraints which lead to potential performance degradations such as greater frictional pressure loss of the working fluids. This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel counter flow heat exchanger which uses helically shaped fluid channels to enhance heat transfer. An analytical model is developed to trade the size and mass of the device versus required heat transfer performance and acceptable levels of fluid pressure loss. Counterflow heat exchangers with helically shaped fluid channels offer an improved heat transfer rate as compared with straight fluid channels A tradeoff between frictional pressure loss, mass, and volume compactness is used to optimize the design of an additively manufactured heat exchanger for in-space applications.
